A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Hey! Sue! Before you go to bed: It's Jonathan. Not Johnathan. Not Jonathon. And certainly not Johnathon. jesusmaryandjoseph isweartogod people get that name wrong more than any other

You know what Jon? I thought it was wrong. (I was positive the John at the beginning was anyway.) But I'm never sure. I went to theatre school with someonewho spelled it idiosyncratically, and now I'm always confused. WHOOPS! Sorry Jon.

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

Very nice ep. Good mix of light and dark, and YAY! Jonathan!

Ehhhhh, Spuffy. I know it's only still around because JM is more enthusiastic about his character than any of the other regulars, but ehhhhhhhhhhhhh. I am so over him. He's not even sexy anymore, he's just irritating.

Did it look to anyone else like SMG has had her lips done again?

IMDB says Nikki's the same actress

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Nope. Didn't look like a lip do.

I loved both Willow and McHottie laughing when Buffy suggested that she was good at counselling.

Yes! I did a lot of laughing at that. And at a lot of the episode. And mmm... Wood.

I was spoiled for Nikki being his mom (being as I'm spoiled for EVERYTHING), and HATED the idea, but I like the way it played out.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Nope, that's definitely a different actress. There was something about it on SpoilerSlayer.com awhile back.

FFL Nikki was played by a stunt womam. S7 Nikki is played by some model/actress.

I really like the Hottie/Nikki plot, but Spuffy is more smelly and tired than B/A were by the end of S3, and that's sayin a lot. Not a spoiler: If Buffy has to fight with or kill Hottie to save poor Spike from him I will puke.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I love the Principal McHottie backstory but I also guessed right away that Nikki was his mom.

I knew it the minute he said his mom was a slayer. It fits very well, because I always thought that Nikki was a bit older than Buffy, like mid- to late-twenties. Certainly the actress who played her in FFL was older

Tangential note: Does it seem like Spike mostly gets his butt kicked in fights? Has that always been true?

Even Joyce managed to kick Spike's ass.

I liked it. As Elena said, it was funny.

Our wings are not tired.

I watched half asleep, so I think I need to rewatch for breakfast.

Always nice to see Jonathan.

Yes, the Hottie/Nikki connection was guessed the moment he mentioned his mom and I loved it. Didn’t see that one coming at all.

ita is gonna drool when she sees the storage closet.

Ethan Rayne in disguise.

I want Victor and Thessaly to adopt me.

He's not even sexy anymore, he's just irritating.

I think sometimes I may be the only person here still Spike’s Bitch. Oh well.

eta:mmm numbah

Oh yeah, I just remembered that it bugged me that Giles was talking loudly to make himself understood with the Chinese proto. My Giles is cooler than that.
