Re: The Harvest Dicussion

I agree with Erin, not a whole lot of the Wiffy this time.  Having 
introduced and set the 'best friendship' up, this ep seemed more about 
really introducing us to Xander's character.  And indeed, by the end, 
Buffy is no longer outright dismissing him and is letting him in some.  
This ep also seemed to be about showing us the physical capabilities of 
Buffy and vampires, how they are clearly stronger, more agile, etc. 

I'm just relieved Buffy lived past the cliffhanger ending. <g>  Oh, and 
that appearing/disappearing, where the hell did that cross come out of 
and where did it hide back to thing still bugs me.  But I do so love the 
almost story of the varsity linebacker and the exacto knife.  We see and 
hear a couple times this ep how resourceful and clever Buffy is in a 
pinch. 

We did get to see a continuation and strengthening of the Buffy/Willow 
bond though.  Not only with Willow defending Buffy, (which is just so 
aww) but Buffy staying close to Willow while the world of vampires was 
revealed to them.  Buffy touched Willow's shoulder, continued to check 
in on her, reminded her to breathe.  Not a lot of moments, but what was 
there deepened the bond.

The end still brings a goofy grin to my face.  Earth's only chance out 
of hell are these three friends... can they do it?
