What the hell was that all about?
In 'Earshot', Buffy takes on an aspect of a Demon twin she kills, and retains that aspect until Angel kills the other twin and essentially feeds her it's heart. The aspect she takes on, is the demon's ability to read minds. At first this is novel and interesting, but soon she begins going borderline insane as she can't block out the thoughts of the masses around her.
During one scene, she is sitting with the scoobies, who are now aware of her new ability. Some excerpts of Dialogue:
XANDER
She can read our mind? Our every
impulse and fantasy?
BUFFY
Every one.
XANDER (Thoughts)
Oh god.
Later...
XANDER (Thoughts)
What am I going to do? I think about
sex all the time. Sex. Help. Four times
five is thirty. Five times six is thirty-two...
Naked girls. Naked women. Naked Buffy.
Oh, stop me.
But Oz's thoughts are the most classic!
🙂
OZ (Thoughts):
I am my thoughts. If they exist in her,
Buffy contains everything that is me
and she becomes me. I cease to exist.
(he thinks all this with the typical expressionless, vacant Oz face we all know so well...)
OZ (Thoughts)
No one else exists either. Buffy is
all of us. We think, therefore she is.
