I couldn't quite manage to like it. Though I enjoyed Xander in the episode (and did notice his odd reaction - later explained to be the telepathy startling him - during the dining room scene and wondered about it).
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I've read she sounded like Faith or Dawn.
I thought Dawn. So you haven't seen it candy? You're just slutting for spoilers?

I was too busy rolling my eyes at the telepathy Deus Ex Machina (AKA as Asspull!) to notice that she sounded different.

Slutting. I'm the queen. I have a tiara and everything (thanks Sue!).
I never go as far as actually downloading eps prior to Tuesday. I read everything here, though

The telepathy didn't bother me too much. Willow had done it a bunch of times already.

Thanks for all the fish.
Yeah, that was just confusing. (edit, the flashback to the telepathy) And, really, it's a construction site!!! Why not use power tools to decapitate? Sheesh.

Jon, Willow has used it before, but hasn't it been her initiating it? Have we ever seen anyone contact her like that? And when was the last time she used it? Early season 6?

What Elena said. And in season six, I believe it was only Willow who could communicate with everyone.

You earned it Candy!

Our wings are not tired.
They had almost lost me until the telepathy, that part really worked for me.
Yep, the voice yelled Skip to me. Don't have a clue if it was.

I can accept Buffy initiating comm with Willow. Did Buffy communicate directly with Xander? I can't remember. If so, that would be an asspull.

Here's what bothered me about that whole final smackdown scene. Buffy's gotten her ass kicked twice by Mr. GrrrArrgh. Why did she have the edge this time? Did she put on her resolve face? It's not the first time the show has pulled that, but I've hated that plot device every time they've done it.
I think it would have worked better if they'd used Xander to set a trap ahead of time for the Ubervamp. First, it would make more sense for Buffy to win. Second, it would have set a great example for the SIL's --- Slayer strength can only get you so far. It's using your wits and your friends that wins the big battles. As it stands, the SIL's are still going to feel vulnerable unless Buffy is right beside them.
