Is the cart before the horse?
No, but the barn door was shut after the horse left.

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.

That's totally a drug reference. Though I am too square to know exactly what it means. Or too straight. Or whatever the kids are saying these days.

I do enjoy that the Xander Lie keeps coming up. It's proof that it's dramatically real, you know? That it's not something everybody comes down on the same side about, that it's legitimately gray. I dig that.
Me too. It's the same reason I love the fight in the library among the scoobs where each of their motives/experiences is on full view and you understand all of them, and they're in complete tension.
Which is to say, Xander has many faults, but also many strengths; saying, "Kick his ass" was a failure to relate possibly-important data, but it was a prime example of Xander being supportive in a way he knows how to do. Frightened guy with a rock, blurty, occasionally cruel, avoidant, but also, all the cavalry available, and kind, and helpful, and once in a blue moon, wise. He is human.
Nutty speaks my mind again.

I miss Xander. I figured that Joss wouldn't end the series without killing someone, and I was afraid it would be him. I was rather relieved to see Xander standing in the last scene.

I secretly hoped he would guest star in one of the last Angel episodes and Illyria would fall for him.

and then Angel would get all jealous, and they would have a big fight and end up in a nest of hot man lovin"

I think Angel would have been amused by the prospect and not bothered to warn Xander about it.
The conflict with Wesley would have been something to watch, though. And can you imagine the dialogue?
