The eyeball would have kind of exploded and oozed, but there was blood... Lots of blood. Poor Xander.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

[NAFDA] We used to get Buffy the day before everyone else, now we get Angel a week after everyone else. And Firefly every Monday!

Thanks for all the fish.

Our wings are not tired.
Caleb – Big Damn Scary Evil. Talk about taking religion head on. He put the eep in creepy and brought to mind discussions of freak ass churches. Fighty stuff with the wine barrels was satisfying enough.
Xander’s dream – I knew he was dreaming, but it still cracked me up. I love when BtVS makes me laugh.
Xander’s pain – Ouch! HFS Ouch! I want to see tomorrow for the promo so I will know how he is.
Faith – can’t blame her for being pissed about the lack of warning on the Bringers. That was nothing short of rude. Faith rocks.
Faith/Spike – knew they had to be hot together. Loved Spike flirting with her. Loved the mention of the warm champagne. Yes. I love when BtVS is sexy.
The “I’m nothing like Angel” stuff fell flat for me.
Buffy: I don’t want to lead them into war. It can’t be the right thing. PH: Most wars aren’t, you know.
Again with both the funny and serious goodies in the Hottie/Buffy scene.
Have I mentioned that I love this show.

Missing in action since 2002...
Great things in the episode:
The Xander speech (which should have been my clue that he was going to get hurt), complete with Andrew's tear. xANdrw4EVA!!!
Faith and Spike in the basement.
Xander HSQ. That's the first time this season I've screamed back at the TV.
I need to analyze some more.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
My friend who dropped by during Buffy says that Caleb is a lot like a comic book character, The Preacher. Does anyone know that one?
I didn't think of it until you mentioned it, but it makes sense - Preacher is dark, dark stuff, and the title character is a priest who's lost his faith and now wanders around America. There's even an Irish vampire in the story.... The main difference is that the Preacher is an antihero and not a bad guy. But the similarities are definitely there.

It had that lovely balance of funny, sexy, fighty, dramatic, everything that makes it a great show.
Again with the major tension with Giles and Buffy. Ouch.

Thanks for all the fish.
Yeah, Xander is much better at speeches than Buffy.
Course, she's much better at seeing, now.

Hey, he's still got one eye. Think of the pirate jokes.
I wonder if he'll be the one saying "Grr AAARGH!" from now on.
It looks like the Liberals are going to win the Quebec election.

Thanks for all the fish.
Really, Sue? Huh. Guess the ethnics and the money vote are coming out in force.

Ewwww, both of you on joking about Xander. I am ignorant of the current election. I have been very news avoidy lately.

Thanks for all the fish.
No one love Xander more than me. (Edit- I mean that no one loves Xander more than me, but I like the dictatorial flare of he first statement.) I wanted him to be the one to take the Captain down.
(this is what Brian spoiled me on, NF being on the show. How hard would I have squeed had I been surprised?)
Though I keep wondering what other Firefly cast members will be showing up...
