... and finishing off
Now, I have a question; Giles gives the impression that they are unaware that Sunnydale is on top of a Hellmouth, yet, how would the watcher's council not have known about that? Oh well, I chalk it up to them being idiots and not sharing information when they have it.
"Oh, come on! This is Sunnydale! How bad an evil can there be here?"
You know, that's even funnier looking back after 7 seasons. Who knew the thing I would think was the most evil on the show would be Buffy herself? Not that I'm bitter, or anything.
Who let's there daughter buy and wear a pleather dress? Really. I choose to believe it was her father, because I like Joyce far too much to believe that of her. What I first liked about Joyce was her hair. It put me in mind of my mom's hair, and I really like my mom. Therefor, I decided early on, that Joyce was a good mother. Hey, we all have our reasons.
And let us now introduce Angel. How in the world did Buffy, a slayer,
not sense he was a vampire? I'll give Angel a pass on not realizing that she was right above him given that he was just recently living off of rats, but I can't give her a pass in this instance. Also, given his comments, "Don't worry, I don't bite," You can see that Angel assumes that she sensed he was a vampire as well. Angel does get my award for best line of the episode with "I didn't say I was yours." Though, it's closely followed up by Willow's comments about her and Xander breaking up and why. Far too cute! Also, I point out more Buffy/Willow flirting. Just saying, it's there if you wanna see it!
Speaking of things there to see if you wanna see them, did anybody else wonder what other students would have thought had they seen Buffy and Giles up on the catwalk at the Bronze? It looked kinda skanky, if you had the volume down and had no idea what was going on in the scene. Just sayin'! And they're talking so loud around people about vampires. However, I'll give them a pass since it is a loud club. This time. And now Buffy's off to rescue her
girlfriend friend! And she manages not to sense Darla, either. However, for the sake of my Buffy's Gay For Willow theory, I'll say it was because she was so focused on Willow.
That scene of the Master coming up out of the blood, how do you guys think that was done? Blue screen?
There is something so cute about Willow being lured away by the promise of a date at the ice cream bar! S6 or 7 Willow would have so kicked his butt, and Darla's too. To this day, I'm still wondering where Buffy keeps all her stakes. You always see her pull them out of basically thin air. Maybe she has custom holders that she has all over herself. It's the only explanation, especially given some of her outfits. Also, Angel's season 2 Darla would have so wiped the floor with this Buffy. Just sayin'.
The ending could have been far too cheesy, but it managed not to be. All in all, a pretty good episode, I'd say.
Are you sure? Now, this is not gonna be pretty. We're talking violence, strong language, adult content...
