Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Watched. Am here.

I liked it, because it made me feel tense. Plus they copped to confusion in The Gift. Metatext like that pisses some off, but I'm good with it.

Yah, yah, I knew Dawn was going to run off. She's always been that kind of dumb. I knew she wasn't going to die. But it wasn't until terribly close to the reveal that I realized that the chick wasn't evil of any sort.

Logistically, all sorts of issues. Locked doors unlocking, vamp waiting at the school for what? Roll call?

Buffy's lecturing -- I don't like it, but I feel it appropriate. The B/S tension? I'm with those that like the SiTs picking up on it.

And I have gone on record with hating SMG's okay. But let me repeat. Bugfuck, it drives me.

Andrew is not a mushroom. Andrew is tofu.

RahRah, I had that same thought.

How was the rest of the CBC radio show? How long was it? Hope I can find time to listen to it this weekend.

Also, as one of 10 people that actually likes Buffy, I have to say I'm not too enamored with the way she's being written this season.

Candy, it was an hour long, and it was pretty good. A general overview of the show, it's signifcance and it hit all the highlights of the past seasons.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I liked Andrew a lot this episode -- I really got the impression that Willow and Xander were just aching to let go and totally geek out with him.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

I liked the episode, but a lot of it was relief that Dawn wasn't one of the pre-Slayers. I liked the scene with Xander a lot, and I've really been enjoying Andrew. I liked how his "womanhood" speech both freaked Xander out and demonstrated his tofu-ness. And I'll be pleased to see more of what's-her-name (Amanda?). She's great. "I'm really tired of everybody having such low self-esteem."

The final job fair that we are planning has just increased in size from about 250 students to 450. Kill. Me. Now.

Just watched the episode.

I LOVED it!!!!! Dawn!!! Finally she has a story of her own!!! That ending had me close to tears (and I never cry in movies or watching TV), but the rest was fantastic, from the Slayer-slayerettes interaction (and them picking up on Buffy-Spike) to the demon bar (and Clem!!!). As for Dawn's story, I can easily relate to that feeling of being left out, of not being among the "cool ones", so I was totally with her during the whole run, and specially when she passed the stake to Amanda.

When the spell pointed at her I laughed like a maniac, not only because we finally get to see more of her, but also because I was picturing the reactions of the people here at the prospect of "Dawn: the Next Generation Vampire Slayer". Nyah, I tell you.

I don't think that the slayerettes have gotten better acting-wise; I just think that now they actually have something to do, instead of standing there like furniture. Spike? I do think his chip still works; remember that, as long as he doesn't *think* of hurting someone, it doesn't kick in (see exchange in "Fool for love").

Loved it. One of the best of the season.

When you say/Now we've got hell to pay/Don't worry baby, that's OK/I know the boss!

Am I allowed to make a point about last night's Angel here? Or would I still have to white-font it????

(Sorry - still kinda new...)
