I'm all for the notion that Xander had a flame thrower on the side in case Buffy got in real trouble. How's that for yer fanwank.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Thanks for all the fish.
I think that Buffy was in real trouble when, say, the uberVamp threw her through the scaffolding.

I was waiting for the uberVamp to fall onto some of the shattered scaffolding and stake himself. Then I would have been with you on the lame. I liked the fight scene.

She got too beat up. And I agree with whoever asked (Jon? Sue?) what made her able to beat the vamp this time? She was beaten to shit, and then was able to grab the wire to garrotte him? Dunno. Don't buy it. There should have been more of a plan.

Did he get no tax because he bargained for no tax, or did they have a no tax sale?
I believe Brent said that they have a no tax sale this week.

I understand that, but we don't really know if there was more to the plan. uberVamp dusted, no need to go to plan B.
The league of slayerdontwannabees bothered me more. I was hoping for a few more to be offed.

Suddenly rethinking my buy-them-later plan. And I got a GST cheque yesterday!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Shouldn't the bottom-eater been harder to kill?
The bottom-eater is still alive.
the telepathy Deus Ex Machina (AKA as Asspull!)
I don't think it's an asspull, since they set it up quite explicitly.
I'm so glad there was telepathy, since the plan as demonstrated was quite lame. Why not pick off the bringers with distance weapons? Why run somewhere and not tell Buffy where? Moronic. Which was shifted to unsubtle, which I could handle.
The fight scene -- ubervamp opened with a capoeira move. I like his fighting style. I also don't get why Buffy could beat him this time. I needed more. Nice Legolas move with the arrow, there, too.

How are all you non-Atlantic Canadians seeing the episode early? Just curious. =)
