Pros.

*The whole beginning of this episode was truly entertaing start to a season. Willow was accidentally funny with the vampire, Willow quote mischievously "come and get it bad boy." Hilarious start to this season.
* I love how Giles still caringly still looking for Buffy and not giving up, and when he founded out that it's wasn't vampires; Giles quoted "No vampires.Bunch of school kids in heavy mascara listening to extremely silly music." I was surprised with Joyce reaction and it kinda makes sense ,but I love that quote..
*I like the expression on Buffy part in this episode ,really sad and horrible ,it suits her mood really well and when you meets Lily intentionally ,then suddenly she started what she does best, being a SLAYER !!.
*The scene when Buffy was helping lily and she broke in the hospital, checking the files for clues and information, to find out who killed Ricky (lily's boyfriend). "Nurse: What are you doing?
Buffy: Breaking into your office and going through your private files. (Looks at another file) Candidate for what? , That scene was awesome.I love how Buffy is confident and cocky, love it !!!loll
*Great acting..
*The fight and the action were brilliantly done unexpect you can see mattress, but the action thrilled me also this scene thrilled me the most, Guard: Who are you? She looks up at him for a moment, and then smiles. Buffy: (friendly) I'm Buffy. The Vampire Slayer. And you are?

CONS

*The storyline was predictable.
*Buffy wears a pair of white Nike trainers but after lily pushes ken off the balcony the shows change into light grey deck shoes.
*For most of the episode Buffy wears a purple t shirt ubder a black hooded sweatshirt. After she tells the other prisoners,"Anyone whos not having fun here,follow me,"shes wearing a different top beneath her sweatshirt.Some coople of blopers but this ep was good...




OVERAL.



This episode was very thrilling to watch, a good start to the season, where it left of...The storyline with Buffy being Anne and the avoidance of being the slayer was amazing.But i did love the return of someone from the past, Lily (guest star Julia Lee,


Acting 8/10
Storyline 6/10
Action/fight scene. 7/10
overal 7/10

Favourite quote. ""No vampires.Bunch of school kids in heavy mascara listening to extremely silly music"

I hope you like my review ...
 
I thought Anne was a great episode, and really liked seeing the scoobies going out on patrol themselves. Oz's attempt at staking a vamp by throwing the stake was quite funny.
Joyce though once again kinda annoyed me when she blamed Giles for Buffy running away! Come on Joyce, stop trying to put the blame on someone else. I think she should have accepted it was mainly due to her that Buffy left.

Love that episode and love the fact that Giles came to Oakland! (where I'm from) for a potential Buffy sighting. I also loved when Oz threw the stake at the vampire cause I really expected it to be all cliche and actually stake it but once again, the show throws in a funny twist.
 
Love this episode. I can feel the lost and despair and how Buffy's lonely. 🙁 Then she realized that demons are everywhere so it's time to go home. Also, it's good to see Lily/Anne and how she became Anne in Ats. 🙂

Oh, I spotted there's a scene they used in Ats S1 opening credits. That woman on the street. SO L.A. 🙂
 
Thanks everybody i hope you like my review lol 😉! This is from my big book lol 😉!
 
Anne

The Good;
Lovely to see Chantelle/Lily/Anne again. Great to see the slave rebellion. Love the long tracking shot around Sunnydale high, lovely cameo from Larry. Nice to see that Buffy can make it on her own but did anyone really doubt that she could? The gang's vamp hunting is hilarious. Terrific scenes between Giles and Joyce. The final scene when Buffy and Joyce hug is just too lovely.

The Bad;
Truly horrible what happens to the human slaves. Ricky's suicide is just awful

Wheldon Cliches;
Character death; None although Buffy still dreams of killing Angel
Shot;
Tied up;
Knocked out; Buffy by Ken
Women good/men bad;
Kinky dinky; Buffy as a slave but not of the sexual variety. Anne Summers is the name of a lingerie/sex toy chain in the UK.
Calling Captain Subtext;
Reccurring actor in another role; Carlos Jacott as Ken who'll later turn up as someone different in Angel

Best line;
Giles; You musn't blame yourself
Joyce; I don't, I blame YOU. You've been this huge influence on her all these years

Questions and observations;
Surely a girl as attractive as Buffy could get a better job than waitress in LA? (Xander later wonders the same as he wants to know if Buffy met 'any nice pimps on her travels'?) 'Pretty Woman'? Belle du jour? Weren't Hooters or Spearmint |Rhino hiring? She's in LA, what about Playboy? (or would that mean Xander would be certain to spot her?). Ok I'm not entirely serious but honestly when did you ever see a girl as pretty as Buffy working as a waitress except in TV/Movies? (the other wise awful film 'The Last Action Hero' does a great joke on the theme). Plenty of fanfic with Buffy and indeed any or all of the Scoobygirls turning to prostitution over the years, my favourite ends with Revello Drive being turned into a high class bordello with Joyce as the madam and then eventually the same thing happening to the post-Chosen Slayer academy.Click here for it- Birthdate Verification Page if you're over 18 and VERY open minded. Of course having now watched Dollhouse you wonder if Joss would actually be quite keen on the idea, especially after watching the scene with Eliza Dushku as a dominatrix.
Or is Buffy just trying to lie low? Anne Summers is the name of a lingerie/sex toy chain in the UK
Cordy refers to Xanders exes who are almost all demons, Preying Mantis, Mummy Girl, Dru in BBB. Xander nails his third vamp with some help from Cordy. Joyce is a sad figure in her summer alone without Buffy but at least in everyone's revised memories she has Dawn to keep her company (to judge from the comics and Dawn's chopstick story she always knew Buffy's secret). I'm always intrigued by the times the Scoobies got by without Buffy, I would love to see more on it in the comics.
One thing that does occur to me is that the weapon used by Buffy during the slave revolt (the wonderfully named hung-munga) actually resembles a hammer and sickle at some angles. I'm sure it's just coincidence but if this were the 50s I'm sure Joss would be hauled before the un-American activities board.

8/10 I think although that may be a little generous
