Starting Season 5

Forever - Episode 17

This episode I didn't really enjoy. It had it's few great Buffy moments as always but it wasn't all there for me.
I guess after seeing The Body this one couldn't look great compared to it.
I loved that Spike brought Joyce some flowers, didn't like how Xander acted towards spike though.
The other good things about the episode were of course seeing a tiny bit of Angel and Ben stabbing demon guy ^.^
Oh and Anya was cute in this episode aswell. The rest was just 'okay' nothing special that I really loved.

Anya: "Hmmm... that was different."
Xander: "Yeah, it was more intense."
Anya: "Because of Joyce."
Xander: "Yeah... What?"
haha that was a great scene ^_^

It was an okay episode, not horrific, but not great.
I give Forever a 6/10



Intervention - Episode 18

Now this episode I liked alot more then the one before it.
The beginning worried me a bit but it got alot better after the first 10 minutes.
I enjoyed Spike and his Buffy Bot, lol I didn't think I would but it was cute and freaky ^.^
Love that spike lol 'loved' :whistle: , the Buffy Bot.. many many times. And Xander and Anya saw them in the cemetery ^.^
When Glory captured Spike I was like 'nooooooooo' not spike!!!! I didn;t like how none of them had faith in him to keep the secret.
But he loved Buffy, we know that and we new he would of course he would...well I hoped he would ^_^
And he did, so yay! spike. Even though she tortured him and hurt him, he couldn't do that to Buffy.
Sad thing was Buffy Bot short circuiting after she tried to help Giles. Spike escaped though, smart Vamp that he is ^_^
The last scene was cute. Probably the best in the episode!

Buffy as Buffybot: "Spike! You're covered in sexy wounds!"

Spike (Buffy as the Buffybot, prompts Spike to explain why he didn't tell Glory who the key was.):
"Because Buffy — the other, not-so-pleasant Buffy... anything happened to Dawn, it'd destroy her,
and I couldn't live with her being in that much pain. I'd let Glory kill me first. Nearly bloody did."

*Buffy Kisses Spike* "What you did for me and Dawn, that was real. I won't forget it."

At least Buffy finally see's how much Spike cares about her, that is a huge huge plus!
There was somewhat of a good story wrapped in this episode too >.>
I liked this episode, Intervention gets a 8/10
 
Tough Love - Episode 19

This episode was pretty good, not spectacular but good none the less ^_^
I liked how Buffy acted when she was both Dropping her classes and with the school principal for Dawn.
The other things in this episode that caught my attention were willow and tara actually fighting.
Then of course Glory being a b*tch and braking tara's hand then making her go crazy.
Hmmm oh, and I loved Willow going big and bad with her magic this episode. Very cool indeed.
The rest of the story I didn't like that much. You have a fight so that person you fought with has something terrible happen to them...
Yea, and well I'm not a big Tara fan so her going crazy didn't really affect me but it's sad seeing Willow upset.
I love how Buffy can trust Spike with Dawn now. He's getting closer and closer and 😉

Giles: "Girls, get the twine that's on the counter. Let's tie him up."
<sickening off-screen crunch while their backs are turned>
Minion: Aggh! Don't! I'll tell you anything! Please! Whatever you want! Just... anything!
Anya: "What happened?"
Giles: "He changed his mind."

Well I give Tough Love a 7/10

Spiral - Episode 20

This episode was Great! Better then the last one for sure. It felt lot different than it too.
Glory figures out who the key is, they all get together and head for the hills, in the mobile home thing Spike stole ^_^
Everyone hating on Spike because why is he here arg arg. And spike wering those goggles is hilarious!
I also loved when the guy shoved a sword down and it nearly hit Buffy but Spike caught it with his bare hands.
'Ouch' to say the least. And crazy Tara nearly lighting him on fire :lmao:
I also liked Xander in the episode, even though he did nothing and sat there all girly man.
Near the end he did light a cigarette for Spike, and that is a plus.
Buffy calling Ben is smart but then again Ben is Glory and she should have connected the two .. well she couldn't have but she should've.
Ben not killing Dawn shows he is a good person, i liked that.
And the guest star who was the general delivered his lines quote well. I liked his part... until Glory did him in.
I couldn't believe Spike didn't hurt anyone til almost the end where he punches one guy.. and his head hurts.
I thought he had hurt quite a few on the road, lol and he didn't even hurt one ^_^
And I thought i was paying attention! From the beginning this episode had a season finale feel to it.
I don't know why but it felt like it could be the season ender.. except of course the ending.
The chase by the knights, Giles getting hit, 'Had a wash flashback' 😉 completely off topic.
A few lines I enjoyed were:

Glory: "Last words, Slay-runt?"
Buffy: "Just one-- Truck."

Anya: "Anybody else feel that?"
Willow: "What?"
Anya: "Cold draft of paralyzing fear?"

I give Spiral a 8/10
 
Weight of the World - Episode 21

The beginning with the wird looking minions was great ^_^ "It was he who blasphemed your magnificence!" :lmao:
Even though I don't love Glory, she was pretty good this episode, Ben seeping through changing her haha.
Crazy Glory.. well isn't very different from what we've seen of her from before just a bit funnier!
I found it hilarious when Spike was trying to explain to everyone who Ben was and they were like "say wahh??"

Spike: "Is everyone here very stoned?"

Spike: "Ben. Glory. He's a doctor, she's The Beast. Two entirely separate entities sharing one body. It's like a bloody sitcom. Surely you remember?"

Giles: "Excellent. Now: do we suspect that there's some kind of connection between Ben and Glory?"

Hilarious scene, and they still can't see that Ben was Glory, very cool thing making it so no one can know the truth.
What little lines Anya had I loved!. But the Buffy Willow spell dream mind thing was a bit strange.
The only good thing about was when Buffy finally told Willow why she 'Killed Dawn'.
Then when she comes out of it she starts crying 🙁 Buffy has gone through soo many different things.
And usually one after another after another, it was only a matter of time before she cracked.
Spike and Xander not killing each other and somewhat getting along is always a big plus.
Xander killing that Demon weirdo haha, got to love that. And as I said already I liked this scene:

BOOKSHELF BUFFY: This was when I quit, Will.
WILLOW: "You did?"
BUFFY: "Just for a second."
BOOKSHELF BUFFY: "I remember I was in the magic shop. I put a book back for Giles. Nothing special about it. And then, it hit me."
WILLOW: "What hit you?"
BUFFY: "I can't beat Glory."
BOOKSHELF BUFFY: "Glory's going to win."
WILLOW: "You can't know that."
BUFFY: "I didn't just know it."
BOOKSHELF BUFFY: "I felt it. Glory will beat me."
BUFFY: "And in that second of knowing it, Will ..."
BOOKSHELF BUFFY: "I wanted it to happen."
WILLOW: "Why?"
BOOKSHELF BUFFY: "I wanted it over. This is - all of this - too much for me."
BUFFY: "I just wanted it over."

I thought it could have been a bit better though, the story was fine and moved the show along for the next episode,
but this wasn't a great episode, just an episode to releave some things for the next episode to come.
I give Weight of the World a 7.5/10

Here it goes the Season Finale! Be back in an hour or so ^_^ :coolman:

Edit:

The Gift - Episode 22

Classic Buffy right from the beginning ^_^ then with the cute "That's what I keep saying." as she walks back into the magic box.
That was so unimportant to the episode though... Idk why it was in it ^.^
I almost didn't like how Spike and Giles snapped at Anya for trying to help. Then she speaks up and helps!! haha I loved it!

Anya: "Okay, but I'm still not hearing enough ideas, she's a god, let's think *outside* the box!"

Spike: "Why don't you go think outside the bleedin' box?"

Giles: "Yes, Anya, apart from your incredibly uninfectious enthusiasm, have you anything to contribute?"

Anya: "The Dagon's Sphere!"

Giles: "Sorry?"

Anya: "When Buffy first met Glory she found that magical glowy sphere that was meant to repel Glory. We've got it in the basement.
It might drive her back, or hurt her... oh! And -- --Olaf the Trollgod's enchanted hammer! You wanna fight a god, use the weapon of a god."

My love for Anya grows deeper each episode! If she never came up with that alot more people would have died.
You can't not love that! And a few scenes later after Anya and Xander have sex he proposes to her ^_^.
Definitely one of the cutest scenes in the episode! "Give it to me when the world doesn't end." :kiss:
Also near the end when she pushes Xander out of the way to save him risking her own life in the process.
She was great this episode... and yes I am going on and on lol. I don't know how I can't she's lovely.
Okay! Spike, He was great this episode. Sad how that weird freaky tongue guy bested him.
You could just feel how sorry he was for Dawn right before he was thrown off onto the ground.
Very sad scene, but even before that when willow go's all physic and Spike dashes by, however short, it was still great.
Oh and my favorite Spike scene from this one would have to be this one

Buffy: "We're not all gonna make it. You know that."

Spike: "Yeah. Hey, I always knew I'd go down fighting."

Buffy: "I'm counting on you. To protect her."

Spike: "'Til the end of the world"

Xander proposing and knocking glory down were his best scenes, Giles on the other hand i didn't like.
He yelled at Buffy, and Anya, and talked about killing Dawn, which would have been great 🙂
But still ... then he killed Ben... which was evil and mean! ... yet saves them alot of trouble in the end.
So I can;t hate Giles, it's just unfortunate he had to do what he did.
Onto Buffy, she was great in this episode. I loved at the end how you couldn't hear her talking.
Then they voiced it over after she had died 🙁 Very great scene. Gile's line is so true. "She's a hero, you see. She's not like us."
Of course he says that right before he kills Ben... lol anyway, The story and feel of this episode felt alot more like a series finale then a season finale.
I don't know if I'm the only one who felt that way but there was probably a reason to it, or I'm just over thinking the episode. Knowing there is more...

This was a terrific ending for the season, although Spike failed to save Dawn, and Buffy Is dead.
It was still a great episode. I nearly teared up when they panned to the head stone...
Then I cracked up at the same time when I read what was on it. "SHE SAVED THE WORLD | A LOT"
I guess they weren't going for the omg omg Buffy is dead ahhhh, feeling. I didn't get it.
But that is probably because I know there are alot more episodes to come and 2 more seasons ^_^
My favorite lines after Anya's would most certainly be what Buffy said to Dawn before she sacrificed herself.

Buffy: "Dawn listen to me. Listen. I love you. I will *always* love you. This is the work I have to do. Tell Giles... Tell Giles I figured it out.
And... I'm okay. Give my love to my friends. You have to take care of them now -- you have to take care of each other.
You have to be strong. Dawn, the hardest thing in this world is to live in it. Be brave. Live. For me."

Beautiful lines to end a beautiful episode.
I give The Gift a 8.5/10

Well I've finished season 5! Lets see it took lol only 5 days ^_^ but now I have to wait 3-4 more just to start 6.
I'll probably die of going crazy waiting! I know! I'll watch Angel ! 🙂 hehe, okays. :cry: lol
Hopefully my cutting up of the lines to look nice on my 22inch widescreen monitor didn't kill any of your computers.
I just don't like reading the line all the way to the end of the monitor, just looks funny, on my computer ^_^

Whenever I rewatch the show ^.^ : king :a month ? 2? haha I can't wait!
But first I got to rewatch more things to erase some of the great Buffy moments I already know so I can re-enjoy them.
I've watched Wonderfalls, Tru callings, next Roswell, then maybe some more Angel, season 3/5. Then maybe I'll be ready again!
