Official Discussion of "Older and Far Away" (UPN-US)

[Buffy Summers]

So...here is my stream of conciousness post as I watch the ep...

That first demon reminds me of something, just not sure what...maybe it's that guy in Return of the Jedi that falls into the pit? Not sure on that one...

So Dawn's feeling sorry for herself now...so let's shoplift!

Kind of good to have an ep about Dawn, though - something different. Is it me or are they making Dawn seem more grown up?

Xander: We're feeding an army.
Anya: No, they couldn't come.

Anya: We invited someone for you. (whispers) A guy.

Buffy: I assume this was an act of kindess. That will help with the not throttling.

Question: when did she meet Clement - I mean Clem? lol

Tara: Was he cute? I'm not a very good judge, but I think he seemed cute.

Willow: "Instant Gratification for all your little achies" - and Spikes's eyebrow goes up lmao!

Ooh! Freaky wish person! Ah, should have noticed the amulet. Interesting.

(Ooh! Roswell commercial. Looks so awesome!)

Finally! Spike and Buffy have a cute scene together.

Ah! Poker! That's where Clem's from.

Clem: I still think it's weird without the kittens.

Buffy: We do not joke about eating people in this house!
Spike: What are you going to do? Beat me up again?

Okay Dawn - totally blowing things out of proportion. She's pissed cause her sister's friends won't hang out with her? Um, get some friends of your own much?

I still don't get why Willow doing magic is such a big deal.

What's with Willow running away screaming when the demon shows up?

Spike: So you ever think about not celebrating your birthday?

Xander taking care of Anya is so cute!

How did Buffy put that together from Dawn saying she talked to the guidance counselor?

Anya - totally wigging! Hmmm...Dawn's secret revealed - finally! I was wondering where they were going with that.

Ooh! Halfreck go bye bye. They defeated Anya by smashing her pendant, so why can't they do that with Halfreck's? Yay - she's alive.

Halfreck: Actualy we prefer Justice Demon, okay?

She's not the "You're beneath me" girl is she? Or are we meant to not know how she nows Spike?

Richard: You have some weird friends.
Xander: News from the file marked "duh".

Seems to me this is another episode about Dawn going through the same things as Buffy. Remember when Angel came back and she hid it, and then no one trusted her? Or when she left after killing Angel, and then everyone hated her? So now it's Dawn's turn.

Hmm I never thought of it that way - Dawn going through the same type of things that Buffy did...I understand that she's a teen and things have been rough for her but it's still really annoying how she seems to think that everything should revolve around her and if doesn't, she get's pissed. A really good ep thouhg - glad that all the stealing stuff final came to light too.

 

[Buffy Summers]

I'm glad of that too - because it was always like "What is the point of the stealing?!"

 

[Leeloohb]

I can understand why Dawn is acting the way she is, but this show cannot be centered around Buffy and Dawns relationship. Something must give, and I think it has to be Dawn. I just don't know how. I hear rumors that she might now make it past this season, but would that be the right choice?? Buffy needs family and responsibilities, but the show isn't showing Buffy becoming more responible. There are so many things going on with her, it's hard to stay focused. I hope the writers can pull it out.

I just watched "Fool For Love," and I was like hold the phone, is that Halfreck?!?! I don't know if it really is her (or the same actress), but it seriously looked like her! ...Strange
