So, I was wondering last night if The First trying to open the Hellmouth in Sunnydale has anything to do with The Beast appearing in L.A. I'll have to watch and see!
-When it takes more than 1:30 to explain what happened less than halfway through the season, your plot line is too convoluted.
-Also, was thinking after the last ep that Buffy look soooo scrawny right now. Time to eat cheeseburgers!

-Love Spike helping train the Potentials!! And Rona, there are lots of non-Slayers that slay vampires. Silly.
-Shouldn't Spike's chip have zapped him when he pulled the redhead's arm up?
-"Instinct: Understand his, but trust yours." Love that.
-Sexy Spuffy moment. Heh.
-"Death is what a Slayer breathes." So positive, Buffy. But also, the Slayer line isn't through you anymore, so you die...and nothing happens.
-I like that Buffy always uses "us" and "we" in her lessons and speeches to the Potentials, never "you".
-Andrew wanting to go patrolling. Hahahaha.
-If Dawn wants to be involved in Slayer stuff, why doesn't she just ask to be in on the training? Buffy was doing things with her at the beginning. ???
-I don't understand why all of a sudden Willow would have more power but be screwing up simple spells. Makes. No. Sense.
-Catholic reference! Heh.
-Dawn as a Potential...it would make sense with the sharing of the blood thing, I suppose.
-Why would anyone want to be happy that Dawn is a Potential?? Being a Slayer isn't really a big prize...Like Anya said, Dawn may have just bought herself an early death.
-Love the Potentials in the demon bar. Heh.
-Bahahaha. Klem. Love.
-"I don't think you'd exactly believe me." Oh, Amanda, if you only knew...
-Buffy a high-functioning schizophrenic. Heh.
-So, Dawn went to slay a vampire without a weapon...??
-"It's not a body. It's leftovers." New vamp term.
-Awesome how they show Dawn acting out Buffy's teaching narrative on slaying. I also like the "trial by fire" teaching method. Works for Potentials, too!
-Keep thinking on your feet, Dawnie! You're doing good!
-I have always had such a hard time with the different ways Potentials have been handled on this show. Some have Watchers, some don't. Some were trained, some weren't. Some now they're Potentials, some don't. I don't get it.
-Another question: Wouldn't TPTB or whatever just keep making Potentials? I mean, if it's one Slayer per generation, wouldn't that generations Potentials then be de-activated and then another batch chosen? So, killing them wouldn't really help...
-Aw, Oz mention!!
-I've always love the Xander-Dawn big brother speech moment. Though S8 pretty much ruined that for me. It just drives home the fact that whether you have a superpower or not, you are important to the group.
