The Buffy Re-watch: S2E3 (part 3)

School Hard

So, this part publishes on my birthday. I will be 27. Yay? Anyway, back to the episode.

The vampires attack and Willow gets a good hit in with a bust of some guy.

To show how brutal Spike is, he kills a guy just for the fun of it.

Snyder goes straight to P.C.P (not the Manic Street Preachers song because there is actually song called that as I was listening to it while typing this, the drug kind). I ask again, does he know about Sunnydale's demon problem?

Buffy is a boss. This we know. She is 16 and in a room full of scared adults, and while Snyder thinks he is helping, he will only make the situation worse. All the while, Buffy is staying calm and taking charge and coming up with a plan on the fly.

Giles will look after Joyce for Buffy, he cares about Joyce because she is Buffy's family, and Buffy is important to him.

The 'Use your head' bit from Spike as he smashes a guys head into glass to get a axe has the same energy as the scene from Toy Story 2 when they use Rex's head to get in to Al's apartment.

Spike might be rash at times, but he is smart, at least in this season.

Why does Buffy not question Sheila's sudden appearance? She hasn't seen her all night, but she shows up just as vampires are attacking. Come on, that's a little sus. And what happened to Sheila after this?

During the reunion between Angel and Spike, Spike calls Angel his sire, but we later find out this isn't technically true. Drusilla was the one who turned him, Angelus was the one to make him into the vicious monster that he is now. We find this out in 'Fool for Love' (S5 of Buffy) and Destiny (S5 of Angel).

'Do we really need weapons for this?' Yes! Of course you do! You just gave him the advantage by dropping your weapon. This does become a point Spike makes in 'Fool for Love' and it's a good point to make.

The last slayer Spike killed was Nikki Wood. In the flashback in 'Fool for Love' we don't see her beg for her life as he says she did in this episode. Is that because the scene we see in 'Fool for Love' is altered to fit Spike's retelling of it to teach Buffy about what it means to be a slayer? So Nikki could have begged for her life, we just don't get to hear it because Spike's monologue is more important to the plot of the episode?

'No, Spike. It's going to hurt a lot.' Yep, her death hurts Spike a lot.

And we see the back of the head for Spike's stunt double. They couldn't have tried to get their hair a bit more similar so it wasn't so obvious that it's a stunt double?

Joyce coming in with an axe to the back of the head. Badass mum there. Spike will remember this.

Snyder, covering his ass so he doesn't get blamed for a dead parent. Asshole.

Angel did not care if Xander got bit by Spike. Do you think he is still jealous?

'The usual story?' 'What do you have in mind? The truth?' I swear Snyder fucking knows about the demons in Sunnydale, so do the police. It's all a part of one big cover up, probably by the Mayor.

Proud mum moment. Joyce knows her daughter is brave and helps others and that trumps whatever Snyder said to her earlier.

They forget about Cordy and Willow. How long were they in there for?

'So, let's see what's on TV.' He says after killing a vampire child. In such a cute way too. God damn you, James Marsters.

Does anyone else think that the Anointed One was a bit of a pointless character? He didn't do anything and couldn't because he was a child. They built him up in S1E5 but all he really did was lead Buffy to The Master. Like there wasn't much of a point to him, except that one thing, but even then was he really necessary? So his death isn't a big loss.

That's it for this episode. Next up, the second of Xander's attraction to supernatural beings. I only wrote 4 pages of notes for that, so it will only be in 2 parts.
