Let me just say that this whole SD-6/CIA thing we have going on with the rival slay groups is getting old. I get it. They both have to keep secrets. But when I start thinking, "hey, if Riley tells Buffy, will Buffy get killed by Professor Utter Desolation?" it's time for a change.
That said, <3 Anya, <3 Spike, and while I <<<<<<<<3 Giles, the idea of him having an orgasm friend makes me kind of queasy.
ALSO, I am still not 100% down with this whole thing existing (the Iniative, not Giles's *shudder* Orgasm Friend). WHERE HAVE THEY BEEN ALL THIS TIME? Willow said that UCSunnydale was only 5 miles away from their graveyard of choice so... SO THE BASTARDS COULD HAVE SAVED MISS CALENDAR.
... I entirely cannot handle this Orgasm Friend. I can't decide if Giles's handwriting is nice or serial-killerish.
... What are these guys stealing omg? Souls? Essences? They got Buffy's and Giles's!
VOICES. VOICES OMG.
Thank god someone thought of using a notepad. That's good.
I liked him writing "Come on, Come on." I like the black guy a lot.
Oh, and I was introduced to Tara. I am unimpressed. Also, the idea of everyone being silent FREAKS ME THE HELL OUT.
Wow, the people gathering around the preacher, that was slightly intense. And scary. I really do so love that everyone's already at Giles's house. And CILES GRIPPING HER SHOULDER, and then Buffy taking his hand. And then him half-hugging Willow! Because she wrote "Hi, Giles."
And now a quarantine! It's like "The Plague!" And now Professor UD has a cool Bonzai thing.
See, if this were Alias, at least everyone knows like, morse code. They could tap.
OMG RILEY KISS WHAT?
... Why are these people floating? Why are they so damn scary? It's extremely impressive. And wow, lackeys. They're freaky too.
Way to go, writers!
.... EW GET HER OFF GILES NOW. She better not be a part of this. She is bad and I hate her. A lot. OOOOOOH MY GOD!
OH MY GOD I AM SO STARTLED BY THESE PEOPLE AND THE CREEPY MUSIC. It's very Edward Scissorhands and quite effective. What do these guys want?
.. They're starting to grow on me. They're so dapper. I'm easy.
I'm guessing Mama Summers is still at Aunt Darlene's, or else you think Buffy would check on her.
OMG WHY IS HE OPENING THE DOOR?
And why do the lackeys have like, strips of bacon around their head omg? AND WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO?
Wow, they have grillz.
It's a scapel. Ack. Oh my. An internal organ collection in the jars my aunt keeps candy in.
OMG! Hee, all them grinning and clapping and the other guy like, no, no, it's nothing. They are too funny.
Giles is using his Jenny mug while Olivia is there. Whore. More people need to write notes. And ooh, ooh, the Scoobies need a bat signal.
I like that they just... recquisitioned a classroom. And Giles put mood music! Awesome!
I love this scene already. He has transparencies.
HEARTS <3, <3, <3
I adore Giles and his motion and illustrations. (And Anya eating popcorn, that's cool.)
This episode is awesomely cool.
And like Riley and Buffy aren't going to come to blows. Oh, help me, silly episode, I know not if this will happen!
Tara has very heavy features. I don't think she's very pretty. Which kind of translates into me not liking her. No one ever said I wasn't shallow.
OH ACK THE GENTLEMEN! And their strips of bacony goodness and OH MY GOD I yelled so loud when the bacon head jumped out at Buffy! Now, I know Tara can't die, since, girlfriend. And not too concerned for Buffy, seeing as, you know. Television program.
But Riley going into their lair? Alone? Stupid. My feeling for him are mixed, and right now, not kindly. Wow, Tara is fast.
Also, I am astonished by the fabulous score the music people have going on. It's amazing.
And wow, Willow's involved now too. Yey.
Ha, Buffy and bacon-heads and Riley. Oops! They're both slayeriffic!
Ooh, Riley's magic flying electricity baton. That is so cool.
... Giles is now using Jenny's mugs on Olivia! OMG GILES HAVE YOU NO SHAME?
And now, Xander... is spazzing out? hello? Crazy!
But very cute. Now Anya knows he loves her! Good! Aw, and Giles was all pleased and then Anya made the best gesture ever and HEE. Poor Giles.
Why won't the Gentlemen quit it and go after someone easier? Honestly.
Uh oh. Witch!willow is moving things with her miiiind! But no, she needs to fingerlock with Tara to put their brains together! wow! Good work, girls!
I hate the Bacon Heads. My lands.
Why does no one think to email, say, Cordy or Angel to come and scream some? I mean, honestly.
AND OMG THEY HAVE BUFFY NOW! THEY WANT HER HEART!
WHOA he stabbed her from behind! That's not only lame, that's cheating! In a massive way!
Now! OPEN THE BOX! It's like the little mermaid. YESSSS VOICES BACK!
Buffy's scream is like, nothing. She sounds like, five.
LOL! Their heads! They were like, full of gak! That was silly.
Okay, Tara's growing on me. I mean, a zigzag part.
EW GET OFF GILES NOW. Stop stroking him with your tacky lilac fingernails! And stop telling her about your Watcherness. AND AND AND I am creeped out.
(Also, I feel guilty. I do want Giles to be happy. I just don't think she's good enough for him. Maybe because I think only Miss Calendar is.)
Yes. Talk away, Riley. Saaay it. I belong to some crazy group.
Oh. No one is talking. Nice way to end. Good job, Joss! I am thoroughly impressed!

Date: 2007-03-23 12:02 am (UTC)Honestly? I have never seen that first Olivia scene where she shows up and they kiss or whatever. I always close my eyes and hum. I DO NOT CARE IF THIS IS CHILDISH BECAUSE OLIVIA IS AGAINST MY RELIGION. So, um, THERE.
But you survived Olivia! So congratulations, my friend! Congratulations. The worst is over now.
Isn't the music in this episode awesome? I totally have the score and can send it to you once I'm back in The Mighty Land of High Speed, if you want.
And The Gentlemen are so awesome. Honestly, watching this episode always thrills me just because they are so cool and creepy. OMG! Hee, all them grinning and clapping and the other guy like, no, no, it's nothing. I think that might be one of my favourite Buffy moments ever.
And, okay, thank God that Tara started growing on you, because otherwise my soul was going to SHATTER. Into itty bitty pieces of woe. And she's so pretty! Honest! They definitely pretty her up as she comes out of her shell.
AND OH YOU HAVE SO MANY OTHER GOOD EPISODES COMING UP TOO! This Year's Girl and Who Are You and Restless are like, in my very top favourites ever. They are so gooooooood. Man, I love season four a lot.

And it's me watching it for the first time! Now I'm really sad I didn't do this for the first three seasons because it's fun to look back (I know this from other shows.)
