Buffy doesn't want Riley or Spike patrolling with her. Why? Is she more comfortable doing it alone? Both of them are strong and willing to help, way more than Xander and Willow back in high school, so what's the problem? Her "alone" patrols started from S5, from the season Buffy made an interest in learning more about her slayer essence. I remember someone commenting on why we don't see Xander and Willow patrolling with Buffy like in high school days, maybe it's Buffy who doesn't want them to tag along.
I love Buffy and Willow arguing about lectures 😀 Willow's dream finally came true. Nice to see Buffy work hard, but breaks my heart because I know she won't finish college 🙁
This is one of the very few times where I see Giles impressed with something Xander did. Oh, and nice to see Tara around the Scoobies without Willow's presence, hope it was Willow's talk in Real Me about Tara being in the Scooby circle.
LOL, what's gotten into Riley? I guess the comment Spike made the earlier night about Buffy not needing Riley and Buffy's less enthusiastic features when she saw him at patrol are what gotten into him.
Sweet Buffy/Giles moment, I hate you, S7! And Xander's enthusiasm about making the dummy is adorable. Buffy is so lucky to have them in her life.
Who says that Buffy doesn't understand geek references?
Spike's biggest flaw, adorable one though, is his obsession with soaps. Doesn't he watch anything else? *hugs him*
Spike and Harmony have the most disturbing relationship ever. And I love it. Reminds me that we're not dealing with humans here, these are vampires, everything about them is disturbing. What's the deal with Harmony coughing when she took a drag?
The Buffy/Riley sex scene"¦ Riley really wants to show her that he could keep up with her.
I really love the scene where Willow lies on Buffy's bed with Dawn sitting on the floor and Buffy pacing around. It makes me think that Willow isn't just Buffy's best friend, she's also like a sister. Some wondered how Buffy, Xander and Willow stuck together all these years when most high school friends fall apart after high school, but they're not just friends, they're family. I love that.
Riley clearly wants to cut all his ties with the government, except still living in his old room, it's sad to see how his friendship with Graham turned out. Well, the Scoobies are a better and more entertaining company.
Aw, Xander trying to tell Buffy how Riley feels about how Buffy feels about Riley, but Buffy doesn't get it. She's too stressed to. And what's even funnier is that Anya mistook it for Xander talking about himself. 😀
You know, I really feel bad for Spike. From being the top to sinking so low, he really wants some respect for the old times sake, but all the Scoobies "“even Willow- lost it now that he can't hurt them in the "I'm gonna snap your necks now" sort of way. I hated that Buffy didn't knock on his door when she came asking for his help and when she tore the money in half. Then again, she is stressed out, and she got no time, she must bring Riley to the doctor ASAP. She's not in the mood for Spike's stalling.
You know, I do think that Graham cares about Riley. 🙂 How many Slash fics I saw with these two, this episode must have started them 😛
Okay, this episode shows me how naà¯ve the Scoobies are. Spike isn't helpless and he's still evil and they keep him loose without thinking. They're really idiots! Didn't they learn from the Adam episode? And even after he tries to get rid of the chip here, they still let him go. Maybe because he's been helping them "“for money of course- that they think they need him for information or muscle. Still, I won't keep him wandering about in Sunnydale like they did, knowing what he's capable of doing.
The Buffy/Riley conversation shows me that he really wants to be strong for her. Not for him. He's doing this to be equal with her because he thinks that's what she wants. And I believe that Buffy really doesn't care about that. Her interests in love and choices in men are not that predictable. I love this conversation. Buffy and Riley opened up to each other and, look, they're still together and they're doing the right thing. Which brings me to the reason of their break up: lack of communication. I can't wait for the next episodes to see how it's gonna go wrong, because now, they're tight again.
I love how Spike thinks, killing the doctor after he pulled out the chip is the smart solution. First, he'll know that the chip stopped working for sure. Second, he'll kill the only person who could put it back.
Stupid Graham putting thoughts in Riley's head. I guess this is where it all starts. Riley is like Anya now. No purpose. Just the lover/partner. Anya will find her thing next episode when Giles hires her and Riley will find his thing later when he rejoins the government. Guess love isn't really enough for everyone, which I can't fault Riley and Anya for that. They need to have an identity of their own and not just be Buffy's boyfriend and Xander's girlfriend.
I think the episode contains lots of hints to Spuffy before the Spike dream. Buffy commenting that she's date Spike if all she cares about were super strength and not the person is one of them. 😉
