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.

Because books.
I knew I could count on you, you Xander fan, you.

I think he was thinking of Buffy. And that she'd finally committed to killing Angel, and it wouldn't help her to hear, "Well, actually, maybe you shouldn't..." Honestly, I think if she'd said, "I just don't know if I can do it, even now," he'd have told her that it might not be necessary. It seemed supportive, not vindictive.
The rightness or wrongness just didn't seem that important, I guess. We didn't see him agonizing over it, so I can't assume he was. And the way he says, "Oh! Willow told me to tell you..." is like he'd almost forgotten about it himself.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

First BtVS I ever saw. It confused the Hell out of me and I needed to watch another episode just to find out what was going on.

What bothered me about Xander's Big Lie was his self-righteousness in "Dead Man's Party," when everyone is ganging up on Buffy over her running away and possible running again. I think the Big Lie played a fairly significant part in Buffy's feelings of isolation from even her friends following her "killing" of Angel. Xander seemed to have no clue as to how his message affected Buffy.
BTW, I love how these issues and ideas are still discussed here, even though the show's been off the air for over three years.

Yes. After Strega mentioned that she was surprised it was such a big deal, this is what came to my mind. I think Dead Man's Party made the lie a bigger deal than if Xander had been ultra-sympathetic to Buffy in it, and nobody had known why.

Ah, I kind of ignore Dead Man's Party because everyone in it seemed to be drunk or insane.

I just wanted to slap everyone who wasn't Buffy. I wanted to line them up against a wall, and let hand fly down the line. Flippa flippa flippa flippa.

Which is my basic reaction to, oh, all of S7.
Well, I don't want to slap Faith, but that's about it.
