Amends - Interesting Facts

Oh Gawd, that is the worst look on DB/Angel ever!!! I hate the moustache! Not sure which is worse, his look in this episode, or his '70s hair in Orpheus!!

70's hair all the way for me, that thing looked like a dead rat or something pulled out of a drain...

I'm not a big fan of the moustache look either but to me it's far far better than rat hair 🙂
 
I have to say my only real pet peeve in this is Angelus' mustache in the flashbacks... I guess I get it though... makes him look like a vamp Rhett Butler, but with long hair.

Also, and I guess you can chalk this up to Cordelia trying to throw a few jabs on her own, but bringing up Xander's parents drunken Christmas fights as a way to embarrass Xand... Okay, I get that Cordy wants to humiliate Xander to get back at him, and any other episode of the season that she does this in, I don't have a problem with, but this seems really vicious of her, more than I'd expect from Cordelia.

While I understand that she feels betrayed by Xander and Willow, the idea of blabbing Xander's negative home life seems extremely harsh and obviously a verbal surgical strike. And while Cordy is MASTERFUL at comments that really push the right buttons, this button just seemed like something she'd at least have enough of a mind to not press. Yeah it'd be okay if she said it in front of Buffy and Willow who know about it, but to say it in front of one of her shallow girlfriends who would probably end up blabbing that to the rest of the school just seems way more wrong than Cordelia truly would be.
 
Amends

I'm new to the Buffy world. Only watched a few eps while it was on, but people kept telling me to get the DVDs and I did and now I am loving it. I am through three seasons and Season 3 is by far the best, so far. Amends is probably my favorite, at least from Season 3. Also loved Reptile Boy. Can't wait to find out more and more about the story. I'm definitely addicted. Wish I had been an avid watcher when the show was on. Oh well, never too late, I guess.

As a college kid myself, I love Reptile Boy too! I always think creeper frat guys are jsut worshiping a demon below their frat house. =p
I loved this episode, but what annoyed me the whole time on my last re-watch was that every character kept referencing how insanely hot it was outside, yet they are all wearing jackets, trench coats, pants, etc. Pretty sure if it's 90 degrees, you would all be in shorts and tank tops.

I do think this is such a sweet episode, and Angel and Buffy's confrontation and dialogue on the cliff is just amazing to me. Their chemistry is awesome and the writing was superb. Loves it!
