That line - 'I don't like vampires. I'm going to take a stand and say they're not good.'
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

Thanks for all the fish.
Yep. It's a pretty good summation of his mission.

Plus it makes me sad. That and the bit where Willow and Cordy find the bodies in prophecy girl, get the closest for me to making me feel what it'd really be like to have my school friends die.
Also I just love that 'it's okay. Buffy's a superhero' moment. I always want Jesse to be still human then, so I can see what he thinks.

I have a plan.
Though (as I read the script long before I saw the episode) I always thought that Xander had staked Jesse on his own, rather than almost accidently. It would have made his 'Angel must die' stance a little stronger, and made his relationship with Spike all the odder.
It seemed to me for a while that a good many of Xander's stakings have been mostly incidental. Though I can't think of how many he's done right now.

Aside from Jesse and that one he did in "Anne" while doing the Nighthawk thing?
Suddenly the thought of someone killing vampires through a continuing series of Mr. Magoo-style accidents is cracking me up.

Watching The Wish this morning, and noticed something. When The Master is making his big speech about the future, he says "Some would say that death is our art". I thought that was verrry interesting. Discuss.

Oooh. Cool.
The Master tends towards a lot of stuff about Buffy's role. Like 'You're not the hunter, you're the lamb.'
And that whole conv with Dracula is packed with comparisions between Slayers and vampires.

Let's see, Xander staked the vamp at the funeral home, the one who said "Angel says hello."

Thanks for all the fish.
Ah, with the improvised easel stake.

Yet another instance of vampires apparently having the consistency of tapioca pudding when someone tries to stake 'em. Now, I've seen Buffy bend a rifle barrel, so no objections to her impaling people on a sharpened object with casual exertion. But Cordelia?
If I ruled the world, all the directors of both shows would have been required to take a stake to a slaughterhouse and see how easy it is to ram it about six inches deep into a side of beef.
