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.
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.
Willow ,'Empty Places'
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.

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.

One last thing on last week - this time through I noticed the bus Colin and the others were on wasn't a city bus; it says Airport Express on the side. So it didn't totally come out of the blue in "Bargaining."

I can't help feeling the monkey actions are symbolic of something.
