OMG!
OMG, Willow in towels fresh out of the shower! When I saw that I knew
that this was gonna be a great episode. Even if the Three Stooges were
to appear as main villains. Directly after that, Willow in sexy black
clothes with her boobs nearly popping out at times (approximately right
before my eyes did) confirmed my suspicions: this was a great ep!
OMG, I can't believe that bitch Willow! (did I just say that out loud?)
How could she betray Tara like that? Lovely, LOVELY and very sweet Tara.
And why do I still feel that Willow has only good intentions. But what
good are they when her eyes are as black as her magick and she can't see
that she's hurting all the ones she loves. Will Tara's departure (PLEASE
Tara, don't disappear! At least not from my screen. Don't let Dawn fool
you: we all still love you!) be enough to make her see what she's doing
and that it is all her own stupid fault? It damned better will, Will!
OMG, how hard did I laugh at all the references! (my neighbours can
probably fill you in on that). Spike doing the Angel routine and Buffy
nearly vomiting at the thought of a Vampire with a soul helping the
helpless in search of redemption. And how cute and wonderful were Willow
and Tara together, finding each other all over again ("I think I'm kinda
gay"). LOL @ Anya summoning rabbits as well. Man, this ep hurt.... my
stomach from laughing out loud.
OMG, how can Giles leave Buffy now? Why can't he be like a father to
her? Fathers don't have to decide everything for their daughters. Giles
can say 'no' to Buffy when he feels she should do something by herself.
Buffy lost her father long ago, recently her mother and nearly her
sister. She actually had to go to heaven and back (without having
anything to say in that last matter) to save her 'sister'. And now her
surrogate father finds it best to leave her? Why? Is that what all
fathers do when their kids grow up? And yeah, I know the Real Life
answer to the question. But that doesn't fly in the Buffyverse. Giles
does.
OMG, Spike and Buffy liplocked *again* at the end of this ep. Is this
going to be how all eps end from now on, cause then I'll switch channels
in the last minute next time. I can say only this: Buffy has really lost
it now that Giles has left her and Willow has messed with her life
again. What Willow practically did was bring Buffy back from heaven
*twice*.
OMG, how lame was the badly grimed Shark playing the loan-shark (or is
that lame-shark)? And how little did I care as the episode progressed.
Yep, not even a shark dressed in a Heffner-suit could ruin this ep for
me. He even brought some vampire muscle with him making for some cool
Slayer-vampire fighting scenes again. And making Spike look cool as
well. Hey, I think I like this shark guy. But what does a shark want
with kittens, shouldn't he be pumping Spike for salmon or something? I'm
sure that the hair from all those Kittens would badly mess up his
digestive system.
OMG, so much was happening in this episode, many of which was great
stuff, that I probably forgot half of what I wanted to mention in this
review. This was a very good (dunno about perfect) follow-up to last
week's ep. Though I can't hardly stand both Tara and Giles leaving. I
know that Giles is a done deal, but I *really* hope that Tara will find
ways to pop in her head in every ep. Hey, someone has to thumbwrestle
with Anya and Dawn. And someone has to do the steaming shower scene...
never mind that, Willow will suffice.
Bye, Patrick

Now you jest. Just thank Joss they didn't.

You're deeply, er, shallow, you realize that, right?

Because she does, sorta. They're all twisted and wrong, though.

Well, didn't really work immediately when Oz left. But there's hope yet.
I hope. Gah...annoying, this.

He's trying, but not doing too well. His reasons are valid, from one
perspective, and he's basically a big softie that's doing the only thing
he knows how to. Makes for good drama, though, and it's so saaad.

Oh dear oh dear is all I'll add.

Heh. That was so lame it sorta worked. Why have they moved from puppies
to kittens, though? Dogs are waaay cooler!

Let's just NOT go there, please?

Right then. Basically, I much liked this ep. A little more drama
would've gone done well as well, but as it stands, despite (or perhaps
because of) the massive contrast between the funny and the serious, it
all worked out for the best. In any event, I'm looking forward to next
week.
