I really hate the main storyline. I know that unpleasant frat boys and the torture and humiliation of others is a staple of horror but I don't like watching it.

I do like the gang watching a Bollywood film; Cordelia's fake laugh; Buffy besting Giles in combat and in pouting; Willow apparent jealousy of Buffy going out with Cordelia; Willow having a go at Giles and Angel; and this exchange:



Buffy: I told one lie, I had one drink.

Giles: Yes, and you were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake.


Why does Buffy want to die when Angel kisses her? Why doesn't this romance do anything for me at this point in the series? Why do I cringe every time Willow asks Buffy about her love life?
