Actually, I think that was me, and I stand by it.
Damn. 0 for 2 on the poster recall. Damn. Still a damn good analysis, and you're right to stand by it.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Interesting stuff, although I think she attributes the remnants of Fred's personality with far more influence on Illyria than the show supports, particularly concerning "The Girl in Question." While there were glimmers of Illyria adopting some of its host's fondness for Wesley and Gunn, it wasn't puttering around the lab and eating tacos as a way to explore Fred's identity. It adopted her appearance and behavior for a specific purpose: manipulating the emotions of the Burkels and sparing itself unpleasantness with the least possible effort. I think the gesture was also a useful demonstration of power over Wesley shortly after he disparaged its remaining abilities.

Oh, Matt's note brought forth something to continue the "heartbreaking moments in the 'verse" discussion:
Change back; be blue.
With my luck today, someone already posted that one in the Buffy thread.

We haven't. "Anne" marked the stylistic beginning, introducing the more "Real World" of Buffyverse!Los Angeles (If LA can ever be said to be "real world") whereas "Amends" marked the beginning of Angel's next journey, his proper search for redemption and the flat-out admission that higher powers were actively involved in his life.

Hmm. Where was "Amends" in terms of the halfway mark of season 3? For some reason, I love the idea of it being the first show of the second half of season 3.
But I've got a thing for symmetry sometimes.

It was the Christmas episode, so just a bit past sweeps.

Art Crawl!!!
"Amends" was episode 10 of season 3. ("Gingerbread" is episode 11 - or the last episode of the first half of the season.)

That was the season when the Columbine killings happened, so "Earshot" wasn't shown until the fall and "Graduation Day (Part 2)" was shown almost two months after part 1 (dates per Buffyworld.com). So in a way "Amends" was the midpoint, at least in terms of how things aired in the regular season.
