Naw, it's staying where it is. The big question is, will it run the Monday before you get it or after you get it.

Hmmm quiet here. Guess the Canadians didn't enjoy as much as I did. Well, I'll post my thoughts since I can't wait another 24 to do so!

Showtime impressions.

Giles – He is absolutely alive (in my opinion). After he and Anya left the Eye place his hair was just as mussed as hers was. I don’t think FE gets mussed hair.

Kennedy – annoys me muchly, particularly since I know that I am going to warm up to her in time. Grr Argh I’m feeling manipulated.

Spike – She didn’t give up on you. I am such a hopeless shipper. Can’t help myself. And what JM can say in an expression in the end when Spike knows it is Buffy. Ahhh. I can't say anything that doesn't betray my fangirl status.

Willow – I really like the way they are dealing with her magic issues. Still have not forgiven the way it was handled last year, but I do like it this episode. Avoid Kennedy! I suspect it is inevitable, but resist, I surely am.

Xander – Still da man! No super powers, but Mr. Reliable and Devoted. (Sorry long-time Xander lovers) Xander has pissed me off more than pleased me s1-s6, but I really am feeling the Xander love this season.

Buffy – She has always been a peripheral character to me with the exception of s6 where I could identify with her not feeling anything issue. Back to not identifying, but I am liking the leadership role.

Andrew – I got a fortune in kittens on him turning very useful.

Anya – She has been my favorite but I thought she was wasted this episode.

They were losing me and I was thinking 11th hour snooze. Then the mind talk was revealed and the rest of the ep was awesome.

Liked the kickass opening scene with the arriving proto-slayer and Buffy. The cynic in me commented to DH that it was less trouble to tear out the page of the phone book for Summers than to create a fake one.

I have to say that this certainly wasn't among the top episodes of this season in my opinion. It was on the dull side and not very memorable overall.

OTOH, Buffy /did/ finally kill the Uebervamp. /FINALLY/. So hopefully the next 11 episodes won't be quite as boring as the last few have gotten.

As much as I love Buffy and wish it would keep going forever, I have to agree with joss that the series is starting to run dry. The story's told.

YOMV

And that fight... sigh.

I loved the concept, and I'm glad that Buffy killed the Ubervamp, but it just didn't seem to work for me.

I love the FactsofLifeJo!Protoslayer. She needs to stay.

Also, in the telepathic voice over, Buffy's voice did not sound like herself.

She sounded like Dawn! It was really throwing me. Kennedy was... inconsistent. There were times I really liked her and other times she annoyed me. The problem I had with the SiW's is that they were all pretty mediocre actors. They rarely sold me on their lines. Granted, their lines weren't great either, but better actors could have pulled them off.

And that fight... sigh.

Was that a good or bad sigh? I was disappointed in the choreography.

FactsofLifeJo!Protoslayer

Never got into that show. Which protoslayer was she?

Bad sigh.

Kennedy. Worldly, to the point, Lesibanic... it seemed to fit.

I'm pretty sure that Anya touched Giles when they came out of the portal. Anyone else see that?

And I'll go post that on the Due South thread, if you don't mind.

I don't think that The Eleventh Hour is aired in the US since it's a Canadian show, and it's on the verge of cancellation.

Re: Buffy. I'm glad the ubervamp is finally dead. He was wearing on my nerves with his caveman act.

I don't think Anya actually touched Giles. But alive.

Yep, both Kennedy and ubervamp stress the nerves.

Still liked it - a lot.
