Thanks for all the fish.

Buffy said 'Living Conditions' when talking about how vampires live. And, uh, when W, A, & X discovered that Dawn wasn't in her room Xander (I think) said 'Gone'. Okay, that last one is maybe stretching a little, but it stuck out for me.

I can't listen to people talk on the radio because they are invariably stupid and cause me to bemoan the decline of human civilisation and/or poke my eyes out in a misguided attempt to block my hearing.

Elena, you are me. I hate "The Man on the Street" kind of interviews. And when people talk with that "14 year old girl trying to sound intellegent" inflection, it drives me batty!

Thanks for all the fish.

Megan, it's nice that we are sharing the brain. Listen, when are you going to be free? We missed you at dinner.


Megan E. - Jan 20, 2003 7:33:54 pm PST #1125 of 6793

Listen, when are you going to be free?

Between January 29 and February 10 I'll be relatively free.

Kennedy had a good line. After Rona (?) was talking about the stake being the best weapon and said "there nothing like holding a piece of wood", Kennedy said "you lost me there."

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Buffy said 'Living Conditions' when talking about how vampires live.

Oh, OK. I thought you meant references to the episodes themselves, not just the titles.

Plotwise, this was lame. Nothing really happened other than us learning that Dawn is not a SiW and Amanda is. I rolled my eyes when Dawn decided to go off and fight a baddie on her own. Did she have a death wish? Was she trying to prove herself? It was one of those annoying plot devices you expect to see only on non-ME shows.

That said, I still liked this better than the last two. I thought the SiW actors have improved markedly and there were a bunch of quotables. And the Xander/Dawn scene at the end had me shedding a few tears.

Plus - Clem!!!

Thanks for all the fish.

Xander at the end of the episode was the only thing that made this worth my time. Though there was the ever-present hope that Dawn would die horribly.

I rolled my eyes when Dawn decided to go off and fight a baddie on her own.

And she didn't take any weapons or use her brain to think "uh, maybe I should look up and see if the vampire is using it's talents to hang above the door."

Thanks for all the fish.

And when they were in the lab she didn't use the gas flame on the highly flammable vampire - granted, she did use it on a Harbringer, but vamps are much more up-in-flamey.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Buffy tonight was all about that last Xander speech. All the other stuff was irrelevant. I did like the line "Cause the Black girl always dies first"

As I said in lite spoilers, I shed quite a few tears over that. Although I was really feeling for xander, NSM Dawn. Buffy is a horrific guidance counselor, although she is good with the potentials.

I sort of liked the new potential's skiniiness, in that it looked like genuine teen skinniness/gawkiness rather than Hollywood skinniness. I also keep thinking how OLD Willow, Xander, Anya and Buffy look compared to these kids. In a good way, I think.

It does make her seem more vulnerable and fragile than the other proto-slayers. Must mean that she's going to be the most powerful.
