Spike's back-- with his better costumes and his accent. I knew that was why everyone thought JM sucked lately!

Also, where WAS the coat. That sort of bothered me. If they knew they were going to get Spike back, they knew that they had to fet the coat from the Summers house to somewhere else. Unless that WAS the summer's house, but I thought it was the school.

Ah, the accent! How could I forget?

I'd kinda wanted a vision quest for the coat, akin to the trials for the soul. It would have been best (slash aside) if he'd gone back to Xander's for it -- showing he was dragging it along with him, but not able to wear it. I *guess* he got it back before the season started and left it behind when he moved in with the Xan man.

Canonically, it is all about the coat.

No, the smoking was like the coat, a symbol of days past

Oh, I know. I was just being snarky :-).

I understand the symbolism of the coat, but like ita, I think it would have worked better if he had had to earn it. Or if it had been a result of something more... elaborated, not just "now I need to be bad, so I'll go and get the coat... just in time for the Principal to see it and confirm his suspicions (oh wait, I'm not supposed to know that! I'm a fictional character!)"

For me, the missing part of the emergency box is how it dropped out of the loop. Did the kid just hide it under his bed?

I can see the CoW being outwitted by a 4-year-old.

Ouise, if you're reading this, how's your trip going? Meeting many Buffistas?

I forgot about Angel until just now. Sue, can I borrow your tape if you are indeed taping?

UGH!

Rerun, isn't it?

Rerun would be good...very, very good.

I believe it is rerunning for the next 3 weeks. The massive amount of posting in the Angel thread is due to a, hmm, conflict...

Ahhhh....Ok. I haven't read the show threads in months. I think that after my 5:30-6:00pm discussion with a job fair applicant's angry father, I'll avoid the conflict
