Just caught the latest Buffy, and it was pretty good. I wouldn't call it great, but it is definitely leading to something bigger. I won't bother with any spoilers, since you all can see it for yourselves tomorrow.

BTW, I couldn't help myself, and I went to tvtome.com, and I read some of the spoilers for some of the upcoming episodes. Looks like we are going to be seeing some of the old characters, and we are going to find out the deal with Principal Woods!

Pretty good episode but why all of a sudden is it "easy" to Sometimes I just don't understand the fighting on this show.

Anyway, I liked the ending with Spike, nicely done.

I thought the fight was really cool! I actually cheered when

CaptainMarvel

Agreed... it was way too easy. Buffy's determined now, so it's easy?

Arcade

First half hour was not the best quality I have seen.
But it did improve in the second half.
The plot twists were a little easy to guess this time.
And why is Funky Flubs scheduled for next week instead of Buffy?
Enough with the interuptions.

lwhy?

Does anyone think that Willow and the slayerette who stays in Willow's room hooking up? The show seems to be going that way. I was expecting to see Faith jump out unexpectly and start kicking butt on tonight's show.

Mantecore

good episode, for some reason i was hoping like faith would jump out and kick some ass but i guess thats until later, and yeah it was suddenly easy for her to kill that guy which was kicking her ass completely in every episode until then, but o well, wonder what they bring next?

Rogue588

Maybe the holy water softened him up...?

Perhaps Buff had a lil adrenaline kick since she had a point to prove to the slayerettes...?

Faith coming back is going to KICK MUCH ASS. BTW...could someone tell me what happened to her on Angel? Thanks.

Next week...pre-emp... UPN

I am guessing since things are out of balance that one Slayer is going to have to Sacrifice herself?
We gotta have Faith.
I thought it was a really good episode with great stuff for everyone to do.

Best line of the night.
"I am Bored. Episode 1 Bored."

Next week the whole Blooper thing is really an underwhelming idea to me.

I thought about this also. But if you look back at past eps.
In particular the ep were she gave up for a split second
and how she dwelled on being the one that killed Dawn.

Sometimes she needs a push. Just like many of us do at times.
Also liked how Spikes faith that Buffy would come for him
in the end.

Personally, I enjoyed the ep. alot.

"This is Thunderdome."

"Two men enter, one man leaves."

Love Andrew's pop cultural references.

Willow: Last time I tried using magic, The First, it... turned it around on me... got inside... I felt it, surging through me... every fiber of my being... pure, undiluted evil... I could taste it.

Slayerette: How does evil taste?

Willow: (pause, slight head shrug) A little chalky.

MrX

Good episode.

The SIT's were getting on my nerves at the start.

Anya's conversation with the demon was hialrious.

"I can't even give it away"

She looks much better now that she's a blonde again.

WiccanPagan

my vote for best line as well. slightly better than the episode 1 remark. it really does have a good dvd, though (would put a smile here if she knew how)

Chew

Andrew being untied by Xander: "Ow, that's my joystick hand"

Xander: "I'm not even going to touch that one....."

Doug Heffernan

I don't think that things are out of balance because there are two Salyers, there have been two for quite some time (since Buffy momentarily died at the end of season two and Kendra was called). There has to be some other explanation as to why things are out of balance because of Buffy being raised from the dead.

When did Buffy/Willow/Xander gain the ability to telepathically communicate? No new news about "Giles" - other than when he put the words into Andrews mouth.

It left me wanting more, which is a good thing - too bad we have to wait two weeks....

lisadoris

This was my only problem with the episode. Did I miss something about telepathy in a previous episode?Andrew's pop culture refs were just hilarious. Good episode overall.

jackepstein

Willow was able to talk to everyone telepathically in the season 6 opener when they were hunting vampires.

Doug Heffernan

Yes I remember, when she was standing on top of a crypt giving directions to the others....but, this was more of a conversation that was intiatited by Buffy, and I think Buffy and Xander could hear the others as well..in other words, it wasn't a one way thing..just seemed odd..

elektra

I don't think Buffy suddenly had an easy time killing this thing. I think when they first squared off, she was overwhelmed mentally and emotionally regarding the entire situation and that affected her physically. Which can happen to any "normal" person. I think she thought through the options and realized she only tried killing it one way; with a stake. It can't move around during the day, so that must mean that sunlight will kill it. So, she needed to try the others. Holy Water obviously had a negative affect on it, but she didn't have enough on her to do any real damage. So, she then moved on to the next best thing - beheading. Which worked. We understand why she did it where and when she did.

I loved all of Andrews references. He's a scream. But I'll tell you ture, I miss Jonathan. He was a very likable character.

Now, I know that Willow was capable of telepathy from the opener of Season 6, but Buffy was the one who initiated contact. Now, after Willow was involved, she could easily tie in Xander, but it was Buffy who made the first move. When did she learn to do that; or is that something she brought back from the other side?

From what I can gather from what happened with Anya and Giles speaking to the Beholder demon thing, it was Buffy being brought back that caused the problem. I didn't get any indication it had anything to do with anything that occured prior to Season 6. Unless I don't get it, which is indeed possible.

movieking

I really miss Jonathan as well. But this is Buffy, so hopefully, he will come back somehow.

elektra

Actually I hope they *don't* bring him back somehow, unless it's as a vision or the first impersonating him again. That's one of my biggest pet peeves in Star Trek is that no one ever really dies. I don't like that in a show.

(Contains season 2 spoilers)

It seemed like the killing of the Uber-Vamp was similar to Just a case of a seemingly unstoppable bad guy who is only there to advance the plot, to eventually give way to something more powerful.

And thanks for the season 6 reminder. I completely forgot about that episode as a basis for the telepathic conversersation.
