Wordless storytelling on the dodgeball bit....is that the coach from "Go Fish"? And Flutie begins another Sunnydale tradition, making a formerly antagonistic character sympathetic before KILLING THEM HORRIBLY.

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.
Nice thematic continuity from the illustration Giles found to poor Flutie to the video Willow's watching coming back from commercial.
Just thought of something - is this the first time there was danger IN the school? There was Ms French, but she was sort of undercover, and none of the really bad stuff happened at the school.(Well, except Dr Gregory.)
Ummm, Darla killed that kid in the teaser in the first episode in the school.
(And my dvd kind screwed up a little - - I need to clean it. . . at least I hope that's all it needs.)
And a grisly kind of Scooby-Do ending.
Mostly I was thinking of danger to the main chars, like here, in IOHEFY, or Prophecy Girl.
And are we the only ones on the air?
I think so.
Xander is amazing in this episode. (Second Xander-centric episode already!)
And Willow is heartbreaking. . . as she is.
And I love that scene with Gile and Buffy where he refuses to believe that there is anything un or supernatural going on with Xander.
"He's turned into a teenaged boy. Of course, you'll have to kill him."
Exactly.
Yeah, it always pissed me off that Giles did the same thing in season 4 when Buffy said her roommate was a demon because of all the Celine Dion. You'd have thought he knew better by then.
