Stealing Cas's spoiler space
N O T T O O B A D A E P
First off, severely NOT liking Willow going all black eyed girl again and copping a 'tude. Not a good thing at all. It's just proving that with provocation she can be nasty. Nope, not liking that AT ALL.
I remeber Whedon stating that Tara was killed because that was the only way Willow would go all BMW. Seeing her get black magicky over a spider beast was weird, unless I missed seeing invisible Tara on the screen and she died.
And Buffy. What the hell was up with Buffy? Ok yes, I know she's theSlayer, and she's built and born to slay demons. But could she not look atleast a little upset about having to kill one of her friends? No, I don'tagree with Xander's statement that Anya is one of Buffy's best friends.Because honestly, they've never really developed their relationship to a point where I would buy into that phrasing. But she was a friend, eventhough not of the best variety, so Buffy should have felt some remorse at what she was setting out to do. But nope, in fact, after she plunged thesword into Anya's chest I could have sworn I saw her smirk a tiny bit. What was up with that? I know alot of rumble on the boards is that Buffy herselfis going bad. I don't know if this episode sets the path for that, but it was rather strange.
Buffy's little speech was almost what Faith said back in season 3. And i seem to remember Buffy saying something like "we aren't the law, we up hold it." (or somethign to that effect.
Also, i know Buffy pointed out that there was no one who could give her all the answers, etc. But isn't that Giles job? To watch over her adn guide her through her slayer trials? WHen is ASH showing back up??
One thing i liked about the ep (about the only thing) was Anya. (well right up until that last scene with Xander). I loved seeing her as Aud :) And when she was talking with Halfrek during the Revolution was just to adorable LOL!!!!
-Will who almost liked the episode, but then Buffy opened her mouth. _________________________________________________________________Surf the Web without missing calls! Get MSN Broadband. http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/freeactivation.asp
