I don't remember "Dad" much, but I vaguely remember "Provider" was worse. Something in the tune of "family is more important than money, mm'Kay?" with a completely inane plot, which I don't recall much about.
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.
Provider has Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Timex Guy. Automatic passing grade there.
Dad...
Twitch.
I'm going to vote A Hole in the World because it sparked the most rage in me, but She was appalling, and Happy Anniversary... yeah. Umm. Not what anyone would call good.
That British guy who heard Buffy saying "Mum? Mum? Mummy?" in The Body -- what did he think the episode "Inca Mummy Girl" was about?
Pssst. Why do we hate A Hole in the World so much?
I like the dragon.

I remember liking "Dad." I should rewatch it to see how it holds up in my mind. But I know I loved "Provider," because the end-of-teaser joke made me laugh through the entire commercial break.

I kind of wonder that too, Shir. I didn't think it was the bestest episode ever, but I liked some of it quite a bit.
Yeah, that's kind of like the talent show stuff in the "Buffy" with the fucking puppet. The talent show stuff is brilliant, even if the A plot is horrid. It always made me hate Mutant Enemy more, because it prevented me from just outright loathing an episode.
Oh, but Skinner had a few good lines in that episode too.

My reasons are back a few posts. I wasn't impressed with them killing a major character so soon before the end of the show, and all their efforts to remind us how much everyone else cared about Fred felt gratuitous and contrived. With possibly the exception of Wesley shooting someone in the knee, as there at least they were showing rather than just telling.
