In Amends, I always feel sorry that Xander's comic books got damaged by the snow.
Ha! During that scene, I yelled, "Xander, protect your comics!!!"
The Boy, of course, yelled, "Protect the Christmas cookies!!!"
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

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.

Mrs. W and I are up to Lover's Walk on our Buffy re-watch. Although I've seen reruns here and there, this is really the first time I'm watching every episode since original airing. When they bring the pain now, I know it's coming, and it hurts so good.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Wallybee and I have just reached Season 4, and Angel Season 1. I'm really rather looking forward to watching Angel with her. She still finds Cordy funny. ("Hey, you're a vampire!" "...No I'm not.") I haven't the heart to tell her what happens to her.

Hey. New board.
I watched "Buffy vs. Dracula" and "Real Me" last night.
Somehow, I never noticed that Dracula says the same thing (or something very similar?) to Buffy that Tara/the messenger said in Restless. The "You think you know... what's to come..." bit. It was at least very similar.
I wish that they had played Dracula up a bit more. I liked that he brought out some of Buffy's scary inner-slayer, the stuff she tackled in the ends of Season Four and Five with all the first-slayer stuff. I wish they had been willing to increase that, decrease the camp some.
Also, I really REALLY wish that it wasn't the first episode I ever watched. Because seriously? The HSQ of the end was so lost on me, and I'll never get it now.

I wish they'd lost the sweater vest before filming started.

Also, that they'd let Xander stick to his "no more butt monkey" vow a little.

I'd like to point out that the hellmouth in Cleveland may be opening.

After watching Amends for the first time since original airing, S7 is still a big ball of confusion to me. Maybe second watching will clear all that up.
First time around, I missed the "explanation" for Angel's return. If I'm following correctly now, Angel was either brought back by the first evil to kill buffy (or himself), or he was brought back by the magical christmas snow fairies.

He was brought back by the magic of handwavium.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
magical christmas snow fairies
Pretty much this.
IIRC, the conversation in the writers' room was something along the lines of "Okay, we need to bring Angel back, how do we do it? I mean, it's not like we can have him just drop out of the sky..."
