I think that's enough room... anyway, it was bad enough someone leaked
that the old guy was supposedly Xander over the Internet, thus dulling
my reaction when it was said (anyone else want to contribute to the
"Find Herc and Ruin His Life Fund"). The fact that it was someone
Anyanka had cursed was a nice touch, though. No real interaction between
The Slayer and The Wiccan... no, wait, she stopped. Um, Slayer and
Hacker... only seen her touch a computer once (twice?) since she quit
the magick, and is she even in college anymore? Nice Willow/Tara
interaction, though (I'm writing that 'ship - eventually; school eats
time like a siv, and it took four days to get this computer back up and
running); leaves room for some reconcilliation, there.

I understand why Xander walked out of the wedding, though. Too many
times, kids that grow up in that environment fear turning into their
parents. I have to be careful, given the excessive drug and alcohol
addictions my father has - it's a concern that doesn't travel too far. I
think Nick is getting ready to move on, though. It'll be sad to see him
go (leaving Spike as the ONLY male regular... can we say Femdom,
anyone?).

Spike's "date" was quiet... must be unimportant. I liked the
interaction, that Spike was glad she was hurt, but only after saying he
was sorry. Poof.

Previews... I think the psych ward is Anya's fault (personal
specualtion, not spoiler); after all, if Cordy can make it all Buffy's
fault, why can't Anya? Xander might have gone through with the wedding
if Buffy hadn't come back (okay, they'd all be dead, but try being
rational with a woman who was just left at the altar and was given the
chance to resume her work as a vengeance demon).

Anyway, I have a few days of Spring Break left, so I'm going to try and
do some typing. Unfortunately, it's for an essay. I can't wait for
summer.
