The Dimension
- Bottom to Top: The BUFFY Episode Countdown
Whine, whine, whine. More of the whinemeister. Dawn finds out what she is with a little breaking
and entering help from Spike. Then she cuts herself to see if she's real. Either that or she wanted
to make a really interesting entrance in the living room. Sheesh, attention hogs.
I secretly love this episode, but I couldn't seem to get it any higher up on the list. Don't ask me
how that happens. Hell, there's a ZOMBIE CAT named "Patches" (well, according to Oz that's his name). We also
get the "shindig, ho-down, hootenanny" scene, and the ending where Buffy and Willow name-call each other. But
we do have to put up with Pat the nosey somewhat ambigiously gay "friend" of Joyce.
So Willow can't see the gang, and the gang can't see Willow. Can anyone say irritating? At least there's
pose-able Dawn, and Anya being absolutely hillarious - especially the scene with her and Willow doing
the locator spell. But Gnarl is just....well, he eats skin. Eck.
Be prepared to listen to what seemed to be 5 speeches, and a really long fight scene. If you watch Showtime,
you've basically seen what the next 11 episodes are going to be like. Now I'm not saying this is a horrible
thing, it's just that Buffy seems to get repetitive on the speech-ifying. Meanwhile, Willow is unsure she
can control her abilities, and Kennedy is thinking she can just make pencils float. News to Kennedy: Willow
isn't a magician, she could skin you alive. Last I checked, David Copperfield can't do that.
Basically everyone without a penis is having a crappy day. Buffy was just used by Parker, Harmony is being
Spike's buttmonkey, and Anya doesn't think Xander wants to have a relationship with her. These gals are sad. But
hey, Spike can go out in the sun! You know, the gem of amara could've been used for a lot more plot than
what it got. One episode of Buffy, one episode of Angel....and then Broody pants destroys it. He's such
a buzzkill.
Atalanta: Showtime's in about the right place, but all the others should be much higher.. they're all pretty good episodes. UnpluggedCrazy: Same Time, Same Place was pretty clever, and The Harsh Light of Day was one of my favorite episodes...how many eps of Buffy do you genuinely like? :-D Amber: I think Same Time, Same Place was one of Buffy's better episodes. Very clever - your list makes me cry! Spike_And_Angel: I like Same Time, Same Place and Harsh Light Of Day! We got willow back in one, and Spike back in another, how could that be bad? Lucky: i personaly thought Gnarl was a GREAT beastie I HATE NORMAL AGAIN: I am not feeling the love for Season 7 from you. And why the hell has Normal Again lasted this long. It should have fallen to the count on the first page. Lisa: I liked Harsh light of Day because i liked it when Vamps do things they normally can't do. I do think they should have kept the ring longer but oh well. I agree with the rest. While I liked Showtime her speeches were getting annoying. Matt are you a hottie? You sound like a hottie? That was just a side note. Obviously. Rebecca: I meant ... in "Blood Ties," Dawn had a realistic and interesting reaction to the news that she was artificially creative, with all-natural ingredients. If Dawn had been less of a stereotypical teen, she would've been more sympathetic. Secretly cutting, shoplifting, sneaking out with demons like Spike, that's kinda interesting. Rebecca: Still happy that "Lies My Parents Told Me" was low on the list ... "Blood Ties" deserves to be higher. If Dawn had cut herself more, I would've liked her better. ...that came out wrong. |
