I forgot to say how much I liked that Xander had an yellow PJs with little blue birds on them.
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I think there has to be a catch to what Amy's done, as in a kiss from someone who loves Buffy will permanently lock the spell rather than wake her or something similarly tragic. Why would she go on and on about the way to break a spell she traveled thousands of miles to cast otherwise? Also, why did all of the Slayers in the room just let her stand around yapping after the first few panels? I'm just saying, Bitch might be more inclined to be truthful if someone played "he loves me; he loves me not" with her extremeties...
Though I do appreciate that "You buried me under tons of rock when you turned Sunnydale into a crater!" is a much better rationale for revenge than "You kicked the magic crack habit and think you're so superior!"

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Those scare quotes were definitely appropriate.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Been thinking about the first two issues of the comics, and about the one little teasing thing I remember from Joss' early interviews about the comics run. In all the early interviews, he said It's all about Anya.
And then it hit me. Everyone ... and I mean EVERYONE ... clearly identified the Great Muppety Odin line as way too Xanderish, and let's face it, the preoccupation with sex, even in the confines of her own head? Little odd for Buffy. But go back and read those lines in Anya's voice. And then consider the Xander sex dream. And the "I wish" bit when she goes out the window.
My tin-foil hat theory: Buffy's not alone inside her head.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Anyone else think that the line "XANDER: And not a sister. " is a shoutout/flashback to Xander's dream in RESTLESS? Specifically, Buffy calling Xander "Big (?) brother".
I also loved the line that made Nora and Cindy laugh.

Oooh, victor. I like that a LOT!
And eww, I just had the horrible thought of what if Amy's "boyfriend" is Anya.

Ditto. I'd never heard that bit about Joss saying it was all about Anya, but I can see it. I'm still not sure about the Muppety part, but the Odin, yeah. Consider the time and place "Aud" came from.
