YOWZA! That was pretty good. I like the new principal and school and am very happy that they seem to be getting back to the scary. I wonder who put the talisman there. Spike?

The ending was pretty wild. What does that all mean? Can't wait to find out!

Anyone else here? If not, I'm off.

I'm here.

So, that was enjoyable. I like Anya's new hair. I like competent Xander. Dawn wasn't annoying (liked her reaction to the pencil boy) - but I have to wonder if she has preternatural slayer strength, speed and/or agility. Because if training is all that it takes, why would no one have trained Xander or Willow?

Giles on a horse. Yum.

Spike. I like his hair. And, he's crazy! He really should get back together with Dru. The imaginary one or the real one. Whichever.

Was I the only one to get a vibe off of the new Principal? I'm thinking that he'd be a real pal to Buffy. And by 'pal' I mean 'hot monkey lover'.

I totally thought "love interest" when he came on.

I agree about Spike's hair but Brent wants him back the way he was in season 2 - bad and slick blonde.

Willow said the Hellmouth was going to swallow us all and Spike seems to be having visions of all the past big bads... think he might be the entity that opens it up?

Edit: everyone else must be watching the mucho old Angel that is on now.

Hmmm. Could be. Either inadvertantly in his insane state, or on purpose to end his torment.

I'll have to watch again, but was he using his William accent instead of his Spike accent?

Also, I wonder if Halfrek/Cecily will be explored this season.

To be honest, I couldn't understand a word he said. I know it was just gobblety gook but I couldn't make out anything that might have been words. He seemed totally vulnerable and sad.

He was having several conversations at once, but when he was explaining the talisman and the revenge spell I think he was using a William voice.

So, who do you think left the talisman?

who do you think left the talisman?

Well if it's any of the characters we already know, it's probably Spike, only he would have had to do it by manipulation since he's not really thinking to straight right now.

Or, maybe it's Principal Wood? Too much been there, done that?

But he's going to be Buffy's new sweetie.

I'd like to meet the teachers.
