Run of the mill episode
Im sorry but the whole; slap, "You saw me." At that school when a student was vanishing was damn funny. Along with Anya confronting Andrew in the can about just doing what normal people do.
The episode was a complete filler until the final ascent to the May 20, series finale. The comedy did help though.

Interesting the difference of opinions on this episode.
I will be siding with those who liked it; in fact, I loved it. I thought it was wonderfully offbeat and entertaining. I also loved how they addressed classic "fan" issues in their typical way. Andrew asks why vamps show up on video ... subject is strangely changed. Andrew complains about Buffy's speeches. It was like a fan watching the show. In a way, it reminded me of the Babylon 5 episode 'A View from the Gallery'.
I appreciate when a show takes chances and tries to give us something a little different from time to time. It doesn't always work, but I always appreciate the effort. In this case, I think it even worked.

I loved it when Andrew started talking about how long winded Buffy's speeches get. Glad to see the creators can make fun of themselves. I thought it was a pretty good episode. Plenty of funny moments.

Finally, anyone else think that it would have really been somewhat of a barrier breaker had Buffy actually killed Andrew? True, it would have made Buffy less sympathetic, but logic would dictate that she start taking whatever approach will bring her victory and to do that some people who may not deserve death will die.

Sob, but it's still 3 weeks of repeats! I guess I'll be watching American Idol in real time (if possible).

Good episode, I thought.

Wonder if we will get any scenes of Faith dissing Andrew and perhaps kicking his arse on general principle?

She might be hanging around with Willow then?

What really sucks is that after this one month break until the March 25th episode, there is another month long break till April 22 episode. After that there are new episodes until the end of the season. On Angel, however, we get 10 new episodes in a row starting next week.

But then, the episode did a lot to lose me when they expected the audience to be entertained by an exploding student. Was supposed it supposed to be funny because he was a geek? Was it supposed to be funny because, unlike the sensititve psychic poet whose death was a major weep-fest, he didn't have many lines? And why was Buffy quipping about some poor kid's dying?

A lot of people complain about reruns, but just like every other show, the only make 22 episodes a year. Would you rather have 2 weeks between every new episode or 4-6 weeks of new episodes and then 4-6 weeks of reruns? I prefer the latter. Sure, those 2 months without new Angels earlier this season sucked, but it was still only half as long as the gap between the season 3 cliffhanger and the season 4 opener.
