Man - was that great in a b/w ship way or what?? I've been reading everyone's account and I guess I missed something from either Regina or Dem....

You guys wrote the following:

<<I really think Guiterrez was playing at something in the subtext. The 
weird thing was the lack of touchage during all those sincere moments and declarations. It was almost as if SMG and AH were NOT supposed to touch. Or maybe I'm just making shit up. :) Just seemed like there was a big disconnect between the words & tone, and SMG/AH's body 
language & blocking.>>

- DEM

>>
You're not making it up, I mentioned it as well. It seemed like they were trying to play it as if there was still tension between them, but SMG and AH's chemistry shot that idea to hell. Instead came of as an almost sexual tension, and I'm not just saying that b/c I'm a B/W shipper, either. They seemed sort of "akward" around each other, and if you throw that in with the veiled compliments, meaningful looks, and big confessions, and you get a subtextual stew.

Ok....Buffy did touch willow...when she said the thing about "Once you fall for willow..." she held willow's hand...and she kept it there...the only reason she took it off was because the doorbell rang....what a great fic...what would have happened if the doorbell didn't ring...hehe

Regina - I like what you said regarding the 'delusional world' that buffy invented...make willow gay, wig about it...give her a girlfriend...move 'em into your house...then break them up...hehe

One more thing...when you guys were relaying that scene at the end to Casandra....did you mention the fact that Willow's name was the ONLY name that Buffy yelled out?? She didn't yell for Dawn or Xander...just Willow...when the demon went after Willow...thats when she had to go back into her Sunnydale reality... Its sort of like "Prophecy Girl". When the master's minions mess with Willow's world...thats when Buffy goes back to slaying...Nobody messes with her Will.

If Sunnydale has been an elaborate delusion...Willow was Buffy's most precious invention!!

Oh and one more, caddy little comment from me:

TAKE THAT B/Sers!!! 

Spike was an absolute selfish asshole in this episode..oh yeah...he loves her so much that he doesn't even care if she takes the antedote...he just wants to use her weakened state AGAIN to try to convince her that shes better off in the dark with him...ooh..i can't even feel the least bit of sympathy for the bastard anymore....I hate him!

Ok...i'm feeling the rage...i'll try not to think about spike anymore....its obviously not healthy for me.

Yes...I agree...it was the 2nd best show of the year...'Tabula Rasa' would have been if the alleged spoilers of Willow being attracted to Buffy would have come to play...but alas....

Ok....thats it for now....
