>>>Actually i did like the ep...It lived up to my expectations....AS a whole it was up to the season level...Of course, there were two things i hated...Buffy thinking Spike was sent away because of an intervantion...And himbeing the one who wasn`t involved in the trowing out...I think it pretty much defined how things are going to play out...It`s a lot similar to the back from the dead spell...That`s what bugs me, to make Buffy`s relationship with Spike seem valid and real Joss decided to make her interaction with the others, mainly Xander, Giles and Willow , seem meaningless...I guess i shouldn`t be surprised, this has being happening since the Buffy loves SPikefest began, and it`s one of the main reasons why i`m against it, but still, not a surprise...Now all we have to do is sit back and Wait for the Spuffy epic to unfold....

Still, these eps had some of the best moments of the season so far...First...The hospital scene...Alyson HAnnigan was amazing, so was Nicholas, and to me that was one of the most touching scenes of the show so far...It`s amazing to see that moemnt , that connection, especially when you remember howmuch each changed... ANd AH holding her tears...it was such an effort...

Another thing was the "intervention"...I know Buffy is supposed to be theslayer and the hero in the show, but during teh argument i could really see the others point....During this season she only seems to trust SPike, seeminly forgeting the people who were there with her all the way, and now shewants their trust? I know that in the scene Buffy was supposed to be the victim, we`re supposed to feel sorry for her and to think of the others as "villains", but that didn't happen, at least where i was concerned....Anyonewho has been watching the season and even the past know taht what was saidwas true, and Buffy needed to hear that....MAybe it`wasn`t the best time, but it`s not like they could do it later...My only fear is that the damagedone is irrepairable, at least to the scoobies, after all, had only been the sit, Dawn and ANya speaking it would be something, but the impact came with Giles adn Mostly Willow and Xander....

Now to the shipper part...Yeah, there was a shipper part, but not really in what was seem, but in what was implied...WHen Willow told Kennedy to stop and she asked why WIllow always seemed to stand up for Buffy...To me it seemed that that had happened a lot before and that the answer seems to be alot more complex than the best friends thing...To me it always seemed likeall the most important developments in Will`s character were somehow influenced by Buffy or their relationship and if felt like that could be pretty much what the argument was about....It`s always about a girl....It`s always about Buffy

Oh, and there was the eye contact...I don`t know who noticed , but most of the time, especially toward the end , Buffy kept looking in WIllow`s direction...It was almost as if she wasn`t believeing that it was coming from her too...And most of the time WIllow had her head down....

You know, i almost wish the period between this ep and the next were bigger, because this particular eps left so many loose ends, so many fic possibilities, i would really like to see them explored before the next one came....POV, what if, after the credits rolls....

Well, i babbled , i know...Sorry for the many mistakes....
And keep on watching...
I`m off to bed...Nd in my dreams, WIll is so going after Buffy :)
