decided she didn't need a watcher anymore.
And then he lost his job as a librarian and went to live the swinging bachelor life with a new red car and an orgasm friend but was really pretty much at loose ends and... oh, wait....
Hey, evil dead, you're in my seat.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Or that Nikki, being a bit older than the average slayer, decided she didn't need a watcher anymore.
'cept that Nikki's watcher raised Robin. I could wank that the four year old Wood hid the bag from the watcher that raised him. Told the watcher he didn't know where it was.

Ooo...and I liked Willow's "Bring it On" comment while talking about the SiT's.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Oh-- I've been meaning to ask-- Did anyone else get a sort of dawn/Kennedy vibe for a moment there?
Also, I don't get how Anya isn't Buffy's friend. I thought it was established that she was. I think maybe it was just an everybody being cranky moment.
I also thought that the Buffy's ourney to not-demon and Spike's journey back to himself were meant to be a parallel (obviously) but I couln't quite grasp of what-- Buffy refused and Spike didn't.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Did anyone else get a sort of dawn/Kennedy vibe for a moment there?
No. Also, no Dawn/Andrew vibe this week. And no Spike/Anya vibe. Anya sures seems lonely, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"It's my bone!"
Sorry. Loved that moment, and the disquiet on Spike's face as Anya clamoured after him.
Buffy's refusal irritated me, but it was very Checkpoint, and now she regrets it. I think Willow was much nicer than she should have been after Buffy's crack-attack-yelling fit, but at least it got me my darling Spike back, cigs and all.
I love that Kennedy's backing off Willow.

Yup. I really liked the non-vibe there, though!

"It's my bone!"
This is one of those things that make me wonder how the show can be on at 8 pm.
I also noticed (and I am not offended or anything). That they seem to be swearing more. I was so weirded out by "assface" and then it seemed like they were using a lot of low-level swear words this episode.

Our wings are not tired.
I still think he said bassface.
Still in absorbing mode. Mmmm Spike. Yay Kennedy getting smacked down. More later..

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I think maybe it was just an everybody being cranky moment.
That'show I took it.
I also thought that the Buffy's ourney to not-demon and Spike's journey back to himself were meant to be a parallel (obviously) but I couln't quite grasp of what-- Buffy refused and Spike didn't.
They're both beginning their journey back to balance within themselves. Buffy's been too much the Slayer...forgetting that her humanity has always been an assett. Spike's become far too human, forgetting that the beast has always been his.
Plus, Spike is Buffy's Jungian shadow self, so if one achieves balance of sorts, the other has to.
