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.

I thought it mostly blew. For the second week in a row, I was sitting there thinking, "This should be exciting, why isn't it?" I agree with Jon that the SiT are not great actors and with some not great lines to say. And the fights seem off. Shouldn't the bottom-eater been harder to kill?

I enjoyed it, and I like Kennedy. The other SiWs were pretty annoying though. I've decided to forgive Eve's terrible in-and-out accent since it was the FE doing it. I wasn't interested in Spike at all this time. Not sure why.

ps Giles is alive. So say I.
