Anne:
1) A very heavy ep. Buffy runs away from her troubles--very unlike her. Very unheroic.
2) Kewl idea about a hell-dimension where time flows differently. People who go through rough times ages differently. Hmm...
3) However the ref to Gandhi was odd and I didn't get it. 🙁
Beauty...
1) Very complicated ep with Wolfie-Oz, Angel returning, the Jekyll/Hyde creature-feature element.
2) Heavy element: addressed physical/verbal/emotional abuse in relationships.
Wish:
1) Part One of the parallel Buffyverse.
2) Fun to see vamp-Willow.
3) The return of the Master. YAY! :lol:
Helpless:
1) very heavy, dark, well-written ep.
2) we see a sinister side to the Council.
3) Giles' inner turmoil over having to obey the Council's directive of the Cruciamentum, but not wanting to hurt his "daughter" Buffy.
4) The villain was truly menacing. Well played.
5) one of the rare times when Buffy is not up to snuff and must use more brains than brawn.
6) cool demise of the BBEG.
Zeppo: One of the funniest eps of the whole series. Zombies, peer pressure, magic galore, nookie with Faith. *sigh*
Dopple...:
1) Part Two of the parallel Buffyverse.
2) more vampy-Willow. MEEEOOWWW! 😀
Earshot:
1) Addressed loneliness, alienation of the "uncool kids", suicide, mass murder.
2) neat monster concept: "aspect of the demon"
3) how could anyone hate the concept of glow-in-the-dark blood???
4) the blessing of Buffy's new powers fast become her curse!!!
Prom:
1) great monster concept: hellhounds. ('Though they looked silly, really. LOL. Too much like Oz-wolfie, IMHO.) BTW, are the Mahkash/Makhash Wars referenced at any other time in the Whedonverse? Maybe it was just a throw-away line.
2) Very touching Fourth Act. 😉
Um, I guess that's all folks!
