The Weight of the World

[cookiedough]

I think it's an underrated episode. When it first aired I thought it was kind of boring and broke up the action between Spiral and The Gift, but now I love it. Very well written and acted, particularily the scenes inside Buffy's mind and when she admits that she "just wanted over." It was very relatable - the idea that she just wanted to give up so it could be over. What do you all think? The only scenes I didn't really like were the Ben/Glory ones towards the end. They just weren't shot well, the effects didn't really work for me and it seemed like a forced plot point for Ben to suddenly give up his humanity.
