Last night at 2:00am some numbnuts was removing the snow from the parking lot beside our building, presumably making room for the expected snowfall tonight. If he was nice he would have disabled the "I'm backing up" beeper but NO, he was a total jerk! ARGH!

Hey guys! I'm in Tennessee! My flights were uneventful, and I even got the window AND an emergency exit on the second plane. For some reason, though, the plane from Halifax to Toronto was an airbus and the plane from Toronto to Nashville was a mini-plane.

I did end up getting the planning email eventually, but I actually received responses to the message before I received the message. Strange, no?

It's around 5C here, which feels positively balmy. I'm enjoying the sensation of there being moisture in the air. There's plenty of it, because it is cloudy and sort of drizzly. And I LOVE IT!

Hope you're all having an ok Monday. Enjoy Buffy tonight!

Waow. Just saw this week's ep. I am officially de-complained.

Me too, tatere -- can't wait to see what everyone else has to say.

The season's looking better and better. Definately an improvement over last week, which was the best of the season until now.

My only question is why did they show Buffy the Pits at Isengard?

why did they show Buffy the Pits at Isengard?

Well, Spike was back home fighting with Lurtz. They had to tie the two threads together somehow....

I was... I dunno. Confused? I'll have to watch it again. I will say that I jumped when the First Slayer jumped Buffy in the dream; and was freaked by Hanging!Chloe. The shadow puppets were cool.

But...

Did I miss them explain where Giles was? When did Dawn become research/translation girl? (yes, I know, the text deciphered itself at one point, but have we ever even seen her have enough knowledge to begin to translate Sumerian?) Anya not Buffy's friend? They why was she cleaning her shirt? How did the duster get to the school? Last we saw it it was at Buffy's. Or possibly under Xander's pillow.

Bwah! I said, now that's an army worthy of Mordor.

The big question around here is how they pay for all of these girls to live there on what Buffy makes. But then I remembered that bank Anya robbed in Him, I figure she's buying groceries for the crew or something.

Dawn has been eased into translation girl over the past episode and a half or so, so that wasn't too unbelievable. Spike's coat... I thought he last had it in the basement right at the start of the season. When he said he had to go get something, I knew what it was and thought that Principal McHottie was gonna freak upon seeing it. But McHottie is a cooler man than that and is just biding his time like a smart demon hunter.

Gile on the other hand was simply not mentioned at all, being the weak part of this episode in my opinion. And I'm damn glad that Kennedy got her lifeforce screwed with. Serves the wench right for pushing like that.

Oh, yeah, you knew Spike was going for the coat. It's all about the coat. But he should have gone to Xander's. I don't remember him having the coat during the first few episodes.
