I got an email from a friend this morning who just came back from covering the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina for her radio station, and she mentioned seeing a musical duo busking on the street named... Willow and Tara Kennedy.
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.
Dawn ,'The Killer In Me'
Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

But by this point I was so disgruntled at Willow I wasn't cutting her much slack anyway. (Hi Buffy, glad you're back from the dead.... by the way, we've been living here in your house, and running through the money, just waiting for you to come back and take care of it all. You run along and get a job to support me, and my girlfriend. And you and Dawn too, of course. Me and Tara, both of us able-bodied adults, will continue to live here, but neither of us will even pretend to look for work, even part-time jobs...)
And Giles with his, "I'm going to be a complete ass to Buffy, but it's okay because it's for her own good. I mean, after the worst year ever, she needs to become a completely responsible adult right now, on my timetable. " I love Giles, but that sucked big time.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
That Giles thing was really the one time when the meta really felt like it got in the way of the natural flow of the story, rather than being incorporated into it.

Eh. They could've come up with a reason that Giles had to go back to England without it being all "let's teach Buffy a lesson."

Akward as it worked it out, it was ALMOST worth it to get to that "I'd like to test that theory." moment.

Having him hunting Potentials and then disappearing off the radar would have been good, just a couple of lines of "Heard from Giles?" "Not for several weeks, we're getting worried" would have done it.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
The Potentials thing was in season 7 (and they used that excuse for a couple episodes, didn't they?). Him looking for Potentials in season 6 would be odd. Not sure what a good excuse in season 6 would have been.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Because the vessel with the pestle had the brew that was true. So he got a call from Mildred Natwick and had to sort it all out with the coven of sexy witches.

Hec's works for me. But frankly, almost anything would have been better than what they did.

So, an addict to the magic led to leaden armageddon, and the Watcher pseudo-father seemed quite callous to the masses?
