book vers. nicki/lestat to add to the collection <3

newbie Buffy watching: S3x17-21

wrapping up S3! episode titles: Enemies, Earshot, Choices, The Prom, Graduation Day Pt 1 and 2

3x17

unusual voice for a demon

demon has a goldfish?

I'm scared for Angel as Faith gets closer

Willow: "of course Faith would do that" and "I too know the love of a taciturn man" <3

everything is v. gross, until Buffy stops playing nice with Faith

oh thank god, Angel was faking

ahahaha, the demon was in Giles' debt

so glad they know Faith is evil now (and man, is she ever evil)

3x18

nice inversion of the run-and-stumble gag

yay for Willow, advising direct communication

cheerleading sweatshirts, really

"I'll love you even covered if you're covered in slime" is one of Angel's best lines

how does Giles not see the problem here

ha, Angel being smart and "you don't have to play games with me, Buffy"

I love Oz's thoughts

these seem like realistic high school thoughts

Giles walking Buffy away is <3

Joyce/Giles confirmed!

lol, smoking Angel as he travels under a cloak in daylight

oh no, they're creating the UT shooting from the '60s

Jonathan came up there to kill himself! OH MY HEART (terrible gun for suicide, though)

lol, that rat poison box

I love Xander's flipping of tables

LOL, Giles running into that tree --- priceless comedy

3x19

I like how Oz doesn't even speak after throwing the bowl

Buffy's matured a bit, judging by how she realized

I thought Cordelia might be working at that store the first time we saw her in it -- she was so conservatively dressed. So she got into college, but maybe something happened to her family's money?

3x20

"I'm old enough to be her ancestor" LOL, it's creepy when he puts it that way

ugh, Joyce telling Angel to break up with Buffy

Angel's breakup lines are terrible

"I feel like I can't breathe" now that's really sad

aw, poor snobbish Cordy. ...is she homeless now?

yay, Buffy threatening to kill everyone on the face of the earth to give her friends a nice time

aw, Giles offering ice cream

haha, crossdressing and queer exploration at British prep schools

Wesley is so inappropriate, actually taking Cordy as a date

"Well, duh" love Cordy

"The prom's a go and you're pathetic" A+ line

LOL, the commentary of that that loser's rejection scene as his motivation. just one single “No” was all it took, masculinity so fragile

awww, Giles smiling at Buffy (her dress is amazing)

Willow's hair is so '90s

Xander wanted to be class clown

aww, Jonathan

lol, lowest mortality rate of any graduating class

ha, Giles' endorsement for Wesley to dance with Cordy was pretty good: "For God's sake, man, she's eighteen, and you have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone. Just have at it, would you, and stop fluttering about."

awww, Angel turning up in a tux is actually really sweet

3x21-22

all professors wear bow ties at home, of course

it's been my prediction for a bit that the Mayor plans on sacrificing Faith for the ascension

ooh, Giles and Wesley fencing

AHHHH, Mayor walking into the library is very effective

did Giles break at "I'm going to eat her" or was he testing him?

"You stay, you'll get me killed" Buffy's taking a blunt tact

hello Amy

"I think Amy's in a good place emotionally" love Oz

Willow calling him out on Ironic Detachment, nice

awww, Oz panicking!!! best panic

"That's my last office romance, I'll tell you that"

Argument interrupted by ARROW

the professor found a fossilized demon?

mmm, sweaty vampire

Oz and Willow are so sweet

"I have nothing to say right now" love Giles

"This is mutiny" "I like to think of it as graduation"

nice

"Get a job" also nice

Buffy's in a Faith outfit

"It's a good thing no one ever wanted to check these books out, huh?" lol, Xander

holy shit, Buffy stabbed her

but she's not going to chase the truck?

I thought the Mayor used that poison to get rid of Faith

"Tea is soothing, I wish to be tense" A+ line

the most blood they've ever shown in a biting

oh, how orgasmic

this is going to be awkward to explain to all her friends

I like Angel's door damage. Smart doctor, too, asking about drugs

the casual smothering was pretty terrible. Yay Angel (this is why I like him, he almost always shows up in the nick of time. What can I say, I have a thing for monsters acting as bodyguards to badass young women)

not a bad dream sequence, actually

wow, they made Faith look pretty awful in that bed

"We attack the Mayor with hummus" LOVE OZ

Ebola shout out! with Cordelia's suggestion to chase him with a box marked Ebola, lolololol

aw, Wesley, creeping back all broken to help

lol, Wesley and Cordelia

"I'm not going to say goodbye" ...well, THAT was misleading (thought briefly he didn’t mean to leave her after all)

I love Snyder's speech: "Congrats to the class of '99, you all proved or more or less adequate. This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet."

it's a good thing the kids were so easy to train in combat

oh good, they rescued the books first (also, literally blowing up the library as Buffy leaves high school seems a bit heavy-handed)

haha, Wesley

"Fire bad, tree pretty" repetition, aw

predictable ending, unfortunately
