7/6/08 - 7/ 13/08 Episode Discussion: Lovers Walk

This is one of my favorite episodes of the season.

I love Spike's speech to Buffy and Angel, I love the Joyce/Spike scene. Even though the Willow/Xander kiss makes my heart break for Oz/Cordelia, this ep still ranks on the list of my favorites.

I feel a bit like an odd one out when I say I love Cordelia on Buffy. S1, I hated her (heh, weren't we supposed to?)...but by S3 she'd totally grown on me. She's a deeper character than anyone could have predicted watching S1, she was always great for comic relief/the inner group dynamic, and she clearly cared about Xander a lot. I love the Xander/Cordelia relationship and so this episode always makes me a little sad.
 
i love the bit after we've seen her fall and its day at a cemetery with a funeral going on and 1st time you see it it's like oh my god shes dead and then we hear buffy and ?willow? talking about if shes goin to be ok and then you where like few lol

yes, that mislead with the funeral was a heart-stopper for two seconds!
Actually, the original title of this episode was: "Love's Bitch". Well, that's obviously Spike, and what he says to Buffy and Angel in his speech.

It's so good to see The threesome (Buffy Spike Angel). First, it's always nice and funny to see the interaction between Angel and Spike. Also, when the three of them together, you can tell it's gonna cause trouble. Love it!

And have you noticed that Spike always shares his feelings with Willow? -"Lovers Walk" and "Initiative". (Plus Joyce, but that's not the point). Honestly, I think Willow always felt for Spike in some way. She didn't hate him. That's how I view it. what do you think?

Also, I love the fact that before Spike makes trouble in this episode, Spike is the one sad and upset and hurt and all the scoobies are happy, and by the time Spike leaves, he's happy, and the scoobies are hurt, because of Spike.

Yeah, Willow is probably always the most accepting, tolerant and non-prejudices person among the Scoobies.

(Well, unless you happen to be a 1100-year-old ex-vengeance demon making a move on her childhood crush. ;D )
 
This is one of my most favorite eppys EVER - of course, my favorite quote of all time came from this eppy! :biggrin:

While I loved everything about this eppy, the most fun was the Spike/Willow exchange. When he was being all weepy because Dru left him, & Willow was all "there,there" ... HEH!

"She wouldn't even kill me. She just left. She didn't even care enough to cut off my head or set me on fire. (sniffs) I mean, is that too much to ask? You know? Some little sign that she cared?......
I gave her everything: beautiful jewels, beautiful dresses with beautiful girls in them, but nothing made her happy." I mean, OMG that was hilarious!

And Spike, Angel & Buffy fighting against the other vamps together - that was just sweet. And Spike talking to Joyce about Dru "No, this is different. Our love was eternal. Literally." You can look back & see that Spike DID like Joyce (remember when she died & Spike told Xander & Willow that the flowers were for her because "I liked the lady".)

It was just a very well written episode, and ... Spike getting his balls back & declaring that he would find Drusilla, tie her up & torture her until "she likes me again" TOO FUNNY!

And the ending was SUPERB: "I did it myyyyyyyyy waaaaayyyyyyyyy" LOVED IT!!!
 
Seeing that funeral scene after Cordy appears to die, made me wonder... Is it possible they were always planning on Cordy to die this way? And that they only kept her alive after they knew Angel would spinoff into his own series and they figured her character would be a good fit to spinoff with him? Maybe I'm completely offbase since I don't know the behind the scenes thoughts about the Angel spinoff... but knowing Joss, Cordy's REAL death here could have been a possibility.

Anyway, great episode. Angel, Buffy, and Spike working together was great fun. Buffy's so cute when she's putting up with Spike. She makes the greatest faces.

Oh, and I like how Cordy refers back to this episode in Angel when Angel asks her, "Do you know how hard it is to think when you a re-bar sticking through your torso?" and Cordy responds, "As a matter of fact, I do... benefits of a Sunnydale education."
 
Saw it last night!

I just love this episode! Spike is genious, he´s terrible funny, has perfect quotes all over it!!

The speech he does in the magic shop is so touching! What I like about him is how normal he looks like, in this episode he sees things so clearly!

And of course, love the A/B breaking up, her sad face makes me happy :evil:

Another thing.. just LOVE Joyce and Spike "relationship"! The way she just sit with him and start talking thing to make him feel better xD And the faces behind her when Angel comes to the house?

Just a perfect episode.
 
Spike drunk is one of the thins I never get tired of. He is so pathetic and yet you still can put yourself in his place. I have been through the same(not the drinking, more of a chocolate depression) and I relate to him.

But boy, does James make me warm in the episode (Not naughty-kinky warm, but warm in the other good way). He was amazing and I am so glad they brought Spike back. I don't think the series would have been the same without Spike
