Thought it was an okay ep.
Kennedy was bossy as was Buffy.
Willow working the magics again was interesting after what happened in S6.

Surely Buffy should have figured out by now that the vamp who killed Wood's mother was Spike. Do the math!

I think Buffy may already know. I got the impression that she figured it out, plus Spike told her about his past escapades in killing two slayers in the episode that currently escapes my memory (Fool For Love?.. the crossover ep with "Angel". I must admit, my heart stood still when Spike put that leather coat on and walked past the Principal! (though in hindsight i'm not sure Spike actually told her anything identifiable about the Slayer he murdered in New York)


Final question. So has Buffy now seen a sneak preview of "The return of the King" or was it just the extended version of "The two Towers" ?

Yes, i noticed that too. That big beastie that Spike eventually killed reminded me a lot of an Urukai (sp?)monster

An okay ep...Buffy's speech was most annoying and Kennedy (MMMmmm) was a little to bossy for my liking but some good things did come out of it. Spike getting his attitude back and Willow doing the magics was good. Also liked the way that Kennedy's vision of magic as soft and nice was shattered by her experience of Willow casting the portal spell, will make an interesting twist to their relationship hopefully. I'm guessing all those creatures were waiting either for the hellmouth or for that portal thing that Spike/Xander were made to bleed onto to open so they can come through and party.

I think the coat was the principal's mother's so that's even more.....something

All in all a bit :shrug: another establishing episode which whilst it set up plenty of things for later eps achieved little in it's own right. It really feels like they've not quite got enough material for this season -- it feels like 12 eps of material has been stretched out over 15 eps.

Season of the speech strikes again. Way to motivate people Buffy -- please try leaving the inspirational speeches to Xander.

Willow's massive loss of self confidence is starting to drag; so she murdered people and nearly destroyed the world -- get over it. She's probably the groups best shot at stopping the first so should be willing to take the risks that are required. At the very least they should be considering what will have to be done if she does have to reach for the hair dye in order to stop the first (eg contingencies to take her down after she's stopeed it).

Will somebody please kill Andrew. And slap Anya.

Did I miss an explanation of where Gyles was?

That's what i meant. He took it off the Slayer whom he killed in New York, which was the Principal's mother. Then he walked past the Principal wearing it. The Principal found out it belonged to his mother when Spike told him he "got it" in New York, and he doesn't know the connection between the coat and the Principal and the Slayer of that era.

Ooh, ok, I didn't even realise Spike had said something - must have been cooking or something.
