I would happily trade SiT time for Caleb time.

Plei is my mirror twin with Angel. I am big with the Buffy love this year and so so on Angel.

The Bureaucracy was a thing of beauty.

Also, I thought Giles was surprised to see Spike and Andrew reappear.

I think what's important is that the forces are split -- doesn't sound like Caleb accounted for a multi-pronged approach.

It didn't appear that Caleb and The First (the name of my sixth album) knew what Buffy was planning. They knew about The Sex, they were ready for Faith, but Buffy seemed to be a surprise.

And was it me, or did it appear that the best way to get to the Axe was to face Caleb solo? Buffy could have made it there with the rest of the army, but a lot of SiT's would have died in the process.

They kept referring to Buffy and the girls. Very en masse, which is why I think split would work -- he's only watching one door. Idjit.

The first really needs to maximise its ability to be anywhere.

And was it me, or did it appear that the best way to get to the Axe was to face Caleb solo?

innerestin' point. It kind of goes against the whole "The Slayer gets strength through her friends" theme that's been a fundamental premise of the series.

OK-- This is a really dumb question.

Are Faith and Buffy in the same room? Is the Axe behind the bomb and Buffy concentrating on the axr, Faith on the bomb? Or am I crazy.

Willow/Kennedy Sex, although I rather like Kennedy, made me miss Tara a lot.

I didn't think they were in the same room, although they may be adjacent or something.

Is the Axe behind the bomb and Buffy concentrating on the axr, Faith on the bomb?

Dunno. That was weird cutting -- either to show parallels, or to show intersection. Also werid is the missing day that stranded Spike and Andrew together.

You know, I think my favorite sex was Xander and Anya. It was sort of sweet. For a moments, I thought the first was going to try to have sex with Caleb when she was talking about being envious. Then of course I remembered that she can't actually touch anything

I have disgusting pictures in my head now. Thanks for that.

I liked Faith/Wood's especially since she brushed him off after.

So am I the only one having ugly Bureaucracy flashbacks? Hee.

So much to like here. I'm a sap, but I loved the whole Spike/Buffy interaction. I was really pulling for Buffy to be right, and I loved the way they accomplished it - she was right, the vineyard was it, but it probably wouldn't have worked if she hadn't been on her own. I also don't know that she would have had the mental energy to go at Caleb with such a novel approach without Spike's encouragement. She's been so drained that just going for the straight fight is all she's been able to come up with recently, and that clearly wasn't working.

Loved also that Faith stepped in and laid down the law so quickly. Nice that all Giles has to say to her is "good job" when he's been questioning and picking at Buffy every step of the way.

Was the bringer about to say something untoward, btw? He sure jumped him suddenly.

Kennedy must die die die. Dead. Now. Die.

Ooh, Faith and Wood, yes please, but I was especially pleased that she wasn't treating him any differently the next day and he didn't seem prepared for that.
