I've been remiss in my rewatch-reporting duties!

Last night was Spiral, which remains as much of a hot mess as it ever was. There's just so much heavy lifting this ep has to do to move the plot into the endgame that it doesn't at all function as a standalone hour of television.

The Body and Forever were both devastating, which, of course they were. Aeryn commented more than once this season that they wanted to go back to when the Scoobies were dealing with supernatural/metaphorical problems, and....yeah.

Crush is a difficult ep, knowing what comes later in the Spuffy timeline but Aeryn was mostly sad that this was Dru's last appearance. (Extremely valid reaction, Dru is awesome and deserves as much screentime as she wants.)

Intervention! Buffybot! "Oh look, it's Spike! And he's wearing a coat!" "The who whatting how with HUH??" etc etc. Still hilarious, no notes.

AtS - Beige!Angel has recovered and the gang has traveled to Pylea.

When we were looking ahead at episode titles from mid-season, Aeryn's comment was "Ooh, reprise. That's when you repeat a song from earlier in the musical with perhaps some slight changes" and I told them to remember that because it was about to be EXTREMELY RELEVANT. (See also: Epiphany aka the opposite of Innocence.)

A was disappointed in Harmony joining the pyramid scheme (because it meant she wouldn't be sticking around in the cast) for about three seconds and then said "But no, of course Harmony immediately joined the vampire cult."

The back half of S2 is my favorite phase of the Angel/Cordy friendship, and I'm pre-emptively annoyed because I know Future Show is going to RUIN IT.
