Get it done buffy evil1/31/2024 ![]() ![]() But when I gave it a closer look I realized that she was quite necessary in that scene, because the Scoobies needed to find out what was going on, and to get the timing right it had to be from someone who wouldn't volunteer the information up front. Her dialogue when she crashes the police investigation in the library is hilarious. And she's not even British.Ĭordelia and Boyfriends: In the first 1.5 seasons, a lot of Cordelia's scenes feel like they're put there just so she can have an appearance, or for comic relief, rather than advancing the plot at all. My Willow Tree: Does Willow hesitate, though? Or does she subconsciously see Angel as indestructible, or even dispensable? Fortunately, it worked, so all we have to find out about her in this adventure, once again, is that she's wicked resourceful. It must have been painful, and dangerous, and it wasn't even to save Buffy, but we can see he doesn't hesitate. I'd really like to hear more on how he felt about being the MacGuffin to kill Eyghon. It's no wonder she gets that iffy expression after asking him if he can take care of the blood bags. Angel doesn't want to be associated with other vampires, but it doesn't even cross his mind that Buffy will forget he is one. He's using the word to refer to a specific set of people, like we would with, "Come to my party, everyone's gonna be there." Context tells you who those people are, and in this case, it's vampires. The Buffy and Angel Show: I've always loved the way Angel says, "Everybody knows about this," because no, Angel, everybody does not. ![]() I don't know who Amy Yip is, and don't want to know. Rather than just being a straight-up hunk, he's a good actor with some intriguing indefinable quality, very fitting for Willow's teenage nonconformity and perceptiveness. Also have to appreciate Willow's choice of John Cusack. He was the lead singer of Bush, a band we were all into when I was Scooby-aged, and yes, he was really hot. Why does she even need to do standard human exercise routines? Why does she need to bother Giles with it? Isn't this one activity she can safely do at home without making her mother suspicious? Has she ever heard of headphones? Or how about just turning it down low enough that you can still hear someone being gruesomely murdered right outside the door? YOUR MUSIC KILLED PHILLIP, BUFFY.įortunately, for all that Buffy is totally lame in this episode (in the sense of taste, not character - she's brave and caring as always) and I mostly can't relate at all, she does give me a blip of nostalgia for the Gavin Rossdale namecheck. The spotlight is on his relationships with Buffy and Jenny, so we end up learning more about both of them, too.īuffy Is the Title: Call me a fuddy-duddy but I have absolutely no sympathy for Buffy's terrible aerobicizing music. If he knew what show he was in he would understand the futility in that, but it's still good to see him stepping up to take care of his loved ones. He may even take it too far, but we see his best side as well as his worst here: he knows that he brought his own doom on himself, and his utmost priority is to keep it from hurting anyone else. The Giles that we see in the present day is ready to take responsibility for his own choices. I haven't given myself the complete picture of Rupert Giles that I hoped for, but I did make special note of one line which he allegedly said in the past: "What the denizens of Hell refuse to accept is that damnation is, at some point, a choice. Reluctantly, I've gone back to my old comic reviews to sift through them for anything particularly relevant or interesting. Many years in the future, a comic series called Angel and Faith (featured above, in case that isn't clear) will draw heavily on "The Dark Age" and expand on the lore for the demon Eyghon. ![]()
