I forgot to tape it. I really did. But I watched it. And what did I see?
You tell me. This isn't over you know. The show isn't over....

Why did I forget to tape it. I forgot before. I swore never to forget
again. What does that say? Now I will have to wait. It will come again.
Will I forget again? How am I supposed to make sense of this if I can't
watch it again?

We start with Willow. I like that. I like Willow. But she's with Tara.
Who is Tara? Do we know her name? She knows who Willow is. Who she
really is. She knew when they did the spell, didn't she. Are they the
same? What will her friends find out about them. How will they react.
How will she react herself when she finds out. Not this season though.
They've been holding back on us. And now we have to wait, it's not fair.
They must be talking about Buffy. She hasn't told them her real name.
She's still growing, still developing. No one knows exactly into what.
No one knows her real name. They've merged with her, but they didn't
see. But she's special.
Willow feels she has to achieve. Others expect that from her. And she
mustn't fail them. But maybe they ask too much from her. Sometimes.
Willow is seldom naughty. But wouldn't she want to be? And what if she
succeeds, what if she achieves. She tries her best, but she can't change
how they think about her. They see through her act, she can't fool them.
Nothing changes.

Xander is on his way. He's travelling, he's searching. He doesn't know
what to look for. He thinks he know, but that's not it. He does know
where to run from. But he's running in circles. As long as he doesn't
know what to look for and where to find it, he always returns where he
began. no escape. Not from the basement, not from his parents. Others
have moved on. Willow is way ahead of Xander. Along with Tara. Xander
wants to join in, but he can't reach them. We can't reach them as well,
we're not allowed to. But we can pretend, can't we. We are allowed to
use our imagination. And sometimes that's even better than reality.
Buffy is way ahead of her big brother as well. Xander was seduced by his
mother. Xander was in love with his sister. It's all very confusing.
Xander is confused. He doesn't understand anymore. Not Giles, not even
Anya. They might as well be speaking French. He's uncertain about his
future. Where will it take him. Will it matter? Will he matter? Does he
make a difference? To anyone?

Giles has a daughter. Her name is Buffy. Pretty little girl. Lot's of
potential. She needs the right guidance. Otherwise it won't come out.
But she needs more than guidance. She needs love and attention, feeling
appreciated, like any daughter.
Giles has choices to make himself. Can't be a daddy every hour of the
day. He's not allowed to anymore. Little girls grow up too fast. What is
he going to do? He can sing, not too bad either. But is that it? It
can't be. No time to waste. A shame to waste his really useful talents.

Buffy wakes up and notices her friends are gone. She's been sleeping too
long. She didn't wake up soon enough, and now they're gone. But she
wants them back. She goes looking for them. The clock reads 730, but
that's not right. As long as she's back by Dawn.
The walls are dividing Buffy and her mother. Buffy could break through
them easily. But she doesn't. Yet? She needs to find her friends.
Both Slayers meet. The First and the Current. They are not the same. Not
anymore. The world has changed, and so has the Slayer. The Slayer is
still changing, evolving. She think she knows ... what's to come ...
what she is. She
hasn't even begun. It's not done yet. It might never be.

This was bound to happen to them. They couldn't deal with primal forces
and not suffer the repercussions. It leads to psychedelic and strange
episodes. Good episodes. meaningful episodes. We can learn from it. But
not at once. It takes time. We have to learn how to look. Seeing what is
there, and not seeing what isn't there. How can I do this any other way.
I know it's confusing. It's supposed to be, I think. I have no choice, I
didn't tape it. I'll have to wait. For old ones and for new ones, it's
all the same. But it's alright. I like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And I
liked Twin Peaks.

You're a bit of a twit. This is definately an ep that needs a rewatch.
Say, anyone going to that FC day have 2 VCRs by any chance?

Yep. Twit. Definately. ;-P

BTW, you can borrow my tape next saturday, if you'd like..we'll both
have the S1 DVDs soon enough anyway :-)

I don't think it was about that. We've dealt with that. That's why it
was weird.

> How will she react herself when she finds out. Not this season though.
> They've been holding back on us. And now we have to wait, it's not fair.

Indeed it's not. It's terribly frustrating, actually. I don't think I'm
gonna wait...;-P

Ooh...now there's a thought! Must rewatch, keep that in mind. It's a
possibility.

I thought it was more that she can't change how she thinks other people
think of her, actually. All of the dreams are a little too complex to
absorb in a single vieweing.

TNSS anyone? Or a TLSS? Oh, and you've gone all Hemingway on us, haven't
you?

Oh, indeed. Confusing to the max.

And in fact, the did. Bad french, I might add. I wonder if the french
will dub that into English? :-))

Uh..oh, right. Rhetorical question.

At least, that's what Giles feels now, not having been her watcher for a
good year and a bit.

So train Spike! Oh, wat, wrong dream..

Nice little reference huh? (counting down from 730 anyone? And of
course, the other one too. But that's sort pf a spoiler if I actually go
into it, isn't it?) I'm guessing there are several other details I've
missed.

> The walls are dividing Buffy and her mother. Buffy could break through

Right. Mother and daughter have grown apart (also noted by the 'finally
meet' bit at the beginning.)

Indeed. But how different are they at the core? I think Buffy's not
quite willing to deal with the possibilities at the moment, but I don't
think she can avoid them forever.

to. (of course, yours aren't fragments, but that's beside the point..)

You didn't tape it??
My heart goes out to you... Can't you copy a tape somewhere?

I don't mean to rub it in, but I've seen the ep twice now and still
have the feeling I've missed some stuff. So: SNAP OUT OF IT, MAN! GET
A COPY!

I don't think they are the same. Willow doesn't seem to know Tara's
real name, does she? She realises that on some subconcious level.

though.

She's afraid of that, certainly. But I don't think that anyone else
beside herself think that S4 Willow is just the same Willow we saw in
S1. She really *has* changed and developed her abilities. Her own fear
and insecurity (that hasn't changed) are plaguing her here

And a shame he left Olivia crying by the overturned wheelchair. Is
she himself, crying over the loss of Buffy as a daughter, or is it
really Olivia he's leaving there, because his Watcher duties keep him
away from her? We all remember she was more than a little shaken at
the end of Hush...

This *is* the best way, of course. Everyone sees something else, so
how could anyone define this ep in absolute terms?

I'm not sure. What does that have to do with Restless (apart from the fact
that I won't be getting any sleep the first three days due to watching S1)

Wrote this review in some kind of dream-state. I didn't have much time to
write yesterday. I think my real review is in a reply to George's post. And
my really real review may come this week. Or not. I don't know. Maybe I'll
wait untill the BBC airs it. Which should be somewhere around April 2003.

Thank you. Copy I think not. All I need really is a rewatch or two. Not that
I have the time to watch it every day before I go to sleep. Hmm.. not even a
bad idea. This ep should get me in the right mood. Now what would I mean by
that?

I don't think Willow is a half-goddess or a demon or such. It crossed my
mind when I wrote this though. But Tara is a different story. There clearly
is more to her than meets the eye. And I don't think she'll be able to keep
that a secret to Willow for much longer. Which should lead to some fun
awkward moments.

This actually was a bit disappointing. I thought she really had changed and
grown. This throws her back a couple of years in her development. Will she
ever grow over her uncertainties?

She could be his alter ego. She told him to go easy on Buffy. I think part
of Giles wants to. But another part still thinks she needs strict guidance.
She also symbolises the family he might never have due to his
watcher-duties.

My, I haven't the faintest idea what you could possibly mean :)

I do know I had some really weird dreams last night after I watched
Restless twice. Left me exhausted all day. And they weren't even
*that* kind of dreams.
To bad, really :)

> mind when I wrote this though./

Well, half-goddess I can understand, surely, but demon? They usually
look a bit more gross than Willow does. IMHO, of course. I mean, every
man his own. I won't hold it against you if you...
Oh right, I'm a bit off-track here, aren't I?

I'm really curious how it will be handled. It's hard to wait for half
a year before seeing new eps. Maybe I'll break my own rule and start
downloading them from the 'net. Temptation...

I think they are an integral part of her personality. You don't get
rid of something like that in one year of college, I guess.

Yes, both explanations make sense. I guess we'll never know what Joss
truly meant when he shot this ep. He wanted it that way, of course.
Sometimes I think he doesn't know what it all means himself

Well, you'll have something new to watch, anyway. That's sort of it,
though.

Righty-oh. I might actually go tackle that one, although I'm not sure I
have much to add/disagree with, really..

Sure thing. And hey! Hold the press. Novel idea! Then we can watch the
ep together!!!

Strangest thing. I had a *really* scary dream about vampires Saturday
night. They were like a plague, very scary. For once, I played the hero
and eliminated them all with one blast (you should have seen the special
effects: great stuff!). Or at least, I thought I did. There were always
one or two left to come after me. And the setting was relly weird too.
It was in my hometown. But all buildings looked post-Nuclear War. And it
was dark (of course). I know I didn't get this dream by watching too
much Buffy. Because in my dream, the vamps were really scary and didn't
make jokes.

Heh, VampWillow is sort of a demon technically speaking, isn't she? I'll
have that sort of a demon any day thank you (defanged of course, maybe
even with a chip.... and a remote control)

Well no, not completely. And we saw in Doomed that she can still be hurt
when Percy calls her a nerd. And of course, this is her subconscious
fear, which is probably a bit exaggerated. But you're right, it's an


integral part of her personality.

And apparently you neiter got the dream from seeing to much Willow or
Tara. Perhaps you're looking forward to that S1 DVD a bit to much?

Or it could be that:
<psychobabble>
You are afraid of being without your weekly dosage of new Buffy eps,
so you are making adventures for yourself at night. However, your
BuffyAbandoningFear [tm] turns them into nightmares.

Good point! Hadn't thought of it that way. Good for you! Or, as the
case may be: not so good for you. I'd *really* go for that chip if I
were you. I'd miss your reviews if she drained you. Or would you still
write them if you were a vampire? The inside scoop on VampWillow so to
speak?

There's that as well. Anyway, I'll just bring the tape, and we'll just
take it from there, see what happens, etc. etc..

I think my reviews would go something like:

<VampReview>
Damn that bitch Buffy. She killed *four* vampires in this ep! That's
totally unrealistic. If I could have a go at her, Buffy wouldn't last
past S5. And that season would only count 22 episodes because Will and I
want to torture Buffy and her pathetic Scooby gang in the most gruesome
and inventive ways in each episode.

I will vamp Riley personally. Ah, the sheer pleasure of turning that
churchgoing goody two-shoes Iowa boy into a creature of the night. Then
I will convince him how sweet the blood of a Slayer tastes. I want to
see the look on the Slayer's face when she has to dust her own
boyfriend. VampWill has bids on Xander. Some old grudge about him never
noticing her in highschool. And something about a doll he stole from
her. Whatever, I know better than to stand in the way of my Will when
she *really* wants something. She says she has some very interesting
games in mind for him. The cage in the dungeon is all hers....
And the retired Watcher? I think that's just what I'll let him do: watch
as all his little friends die while he unable to save them. And then eat
him, of course. I gather he's tastes like beautifully aged wine.

And in the big season finale I would let my Will vamp Willow (two
bisexual VampWillows of my own!). Then the two of them can take care of
Tara, while I have a Slayer for dinner. And after that? Well, Slayers
aren't the only ones who get horny after a good slay....

But where was I? Ah yes, tonight's episode...
</VampReview>
