Does anyone else think that having the FE retreat to re-group is kind of a lame excuse to do something else for an episode? I mean, it's the First Evil!!! Shouldn't it be chock-full of evil goodness all the time? Shouldn't it know every evil trick in the book?
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

[NAFDA] We used to get Buffy the day before everyone else, now we get Angel a week after everyone else. And Firefly every Monday!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yeah, I caught her turning on the gas tap too.
And my last (utterly obscure) shout-out moment was that Giles was in Shanghai collecting another potential -- which proved to me that I'm still not over my FFL obsession, since I heard "Shanghai" and immediately thought, "probably another Hellmouth -- after all, it's where the Chinese Slayer was from."

Thanks for all the fish.
Yeah, why should it have to regroup? It's a single entity! And there were clearly Harbingers left, so how did Buffy just waltz in to rescue Spike? Hmm?
Okay, bed now. Chat later.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I would have to kill her because the way she says 'okay' bugs the shit out of me. She did it again tonight.
I thought I was the only one bothered by that! That kind of swallow-y "aow-kay" she does. Hate it hate it hate it.
I thought the ep was good at both ends, weak in the middle. The problem is I can't decide if I'm supposed to think Buffy's doing a good job or not. If I'm supposed to think that Buffy's a piss-poor Watcher, well then I like the last three eps much better, because so far she's been damn lucky her "training" hasn't gotten all of the Potentials killed.

Thanks for all the fish.
Jessica, I'm stunned that my hated of her 'okay' isn't as widely known as my hated of Willow.

I can't remember you, or anyone ever mentioning it before. But it drives me absolutely batty every time she says the word, so I'm glad I'm not alone.

It's a new thing to me, Elena.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

That didn't bug me. She could have easily offed a few Bringers offscreen before she got to Spike. She seems to be able to handle them pretty easily. I didn't feel that it needed to be shown.

Thanks for all the fish.
I just find that there are many, many such 'missing' scenes this year.
I'm sure I've mentioned the okay thing before. It either got lost in the shuffle or I just rant about it to my husband.

Hey Elena, is Mechakreylborne Steve?
