Xander ,'Get It Done'
[NAFDA] We used to get Buffy the day before everyone else, now we get Angel a week after everyone else. And Firefly every Monday!
Are you saying you thought it needs censoring, because I thought it was okay.
I liked it. I can't believe they brought up the whole Xander lied thing. Not to mention having Buffy say that she'll never love anyone like Angel. I think they are trying to start some insane internet explosion. The pro-Xanders vs the anti-Xanders, the Spuffists vs the Bufyf'N'Angle 4evah crowd. At around 9:30 tonight we shall hear the gasp of all the Buffistas as they say, "Oh my god, Xander lied!!!!"
I loved the old-movie stuff, and the way the subtitles were written in a way that evoked both badly translated subtitles and Anya's awkward phrasing. I especially loved the "insane troll logic" reference. Oh, and all the anti-capitalist stuff Anya was saying.
I didn't care for the song, sadly. I thought that scene was the weakest in the episode.
I actually really enjoyed Buffy bringing up having killed Angel, and was both gleeful and shocked that they actually aired the "Xander lied" issue. I think you're right about the consternation it will start, Sue. Am I a bad person to be kind of looking forward to it?

I'll enjoy it for about 5 minutes, then I'll think, oh no, not this again.
I see the difference - I haven't been through it already, since I didn't join internet fandom until season 4. I'll probably get sick of it soon enough, but I'm not pre-sickened.

No, I thought it was fine since most of the violence happened off screen. Now watch, Betsy's son will be terrified of spiders (like your nephew Sue) and it will tramatize him forever.
If people didn't realize until now that Xander lied to Buffy about Willow trying to restore Angel's soul 5 years ago then they aren't paying close enough attention. Xander has had his own agenda when it comes to Buffy for years.
Actaully, I thought the Spider didn't look all that spidery. It just looked like a big-ass bug to me.
It was really creepy when it was going to bite Buffy and had her pinned on the ground. Where the hell was Xander then?? She didn't push him away that hard.

I must have missed (or skipped) any other Anti/Pro Xander fights. Since I love Willow (sorry Elena!) does that automatically make me part of the Anti-Xander faction?
I can't believe they brought up the whole Xander lied thing.
I can't wait until this hits the main Buffy thread tonight...
Buffy's been living a LIE for 4 1/2 years! She thought she killed her boyfriend with her best friend's sanction! Xander didn't tell her that Willow was trying to save Angel's soul! XANDER is EVIL!
