Good heavens, I think the Buffy boxed set is back! ::squee::

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
That would have been perfect, Daniel.
Thanks!

It would have been interesting to have Owen show up as a season 5 or 6 throwaway vamping in a teaser.
Late the party on this, but it also would have been cool if it had been Owen who turned up as the chatty vamp in "Conversations with Dead People", much as I do like Holden.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
We watched "Earshot" last night, and we found ourselves thinking it would have been great if Freddy the newspaper guy came back.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Extremely late to the NKABOTFD, but...I love the look on Angel's face when Buffy mutters "Bite me."! Mmm, juicy foreshadowing.
Also, I have irrational love for the old-school Gilesmobile.

What is even happening?

Seeing it is almost as good as seeing the SHS library.

*Sigh* Missed the watch-and-post. Again. Went ahead and watched it anyway.
One thing struck me on reflection; they could have gone much more conventional on the ending. Owen could have been freaked out by what happened and broken up with Buffy, which would have emphasized the "different=unloveable freak" equation for both Buffy and the audience.
This way, we see both Buffy's maturity, since she sees what she needs to do and does it, and that there's a reason Willow and Xander are on the team, and that she is, three episodes after the Harvest, fully on-board with being the Slayer.
Using a plot turn to illustrate character development - is that what they call good writing?

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
That was fun. Thanks P-C.

The conversation re: Owen reminds me one of the reasons why I didn't like Riley, and that's because I think Riley was in the demon-slaying thing for the adventure, as opposed to it being a calling (Buffy & Giles) or because s/he realized his/her town was full of vampires and other creatures of the night (Willow & Xander) and a decission was made to join the fight because it was the right thing to do. Both Owen & Riley got off on the thrill of danger. I like the idea of Owen's recklessness getting him vamped at some point.
