Your first paragraph is pretty much my thoughts, so my commenting duties are over. -grins-
Duties {eye-roll}.

The end was ambiguous/interesting again. I'm noticing a theme here. It's me ending the episodes with a 'huh?' Not necessarily complaining, as long as they eventually elaborate.
Is that anything new. That's just good showmanship, I think. Always leave them wanting more, better than them wanting less.

Next Week: 5.20 "The Girl In Question"
Yep.
w/o Thinking about it, or knowing, I thought this was an episode about Dead-Fred. A safe assumption assuming she's the only girl on the show, Harmony doesn't count, just as Lorne ceased to be long ago, (S3?).

Then I heard 'an item' to jog my logic, also 'this past' episode was Dead-Fred. I think it'd be pretty weak to have two in row when you only have so many left. (Said assumption was made before seeing it though).

I have to stay away from all tv sites, as I once again know slightly too much. Doesn't totally ruin it for me, but I usually love the surprise.
Either-way not to poison opinions before I know how things shake out, but I think they might be trying to tackle things they might not ought to. Is that a S5 theme?

True, I'd rather have this than 'smile time'

That was my first thought as well. You'll see if you're right or not on Wednesday. (unless the wb hits you with a promo first)

I agree. Some things are better left alone.

Granted I agree with you wholeheartedly, but I thought you didn't see 'Smile Time'. Then again, just knowing "Smile Time" exists, is an offense every AtS episode you ever watched.

If you keep watching the S2 reruns (after 'The Trial'), you're about to see why Angel being dark in S2 is as cool as Angelus. Probably cooler than they whatever they're doing, or will do now/next.

It might be about Dead-Fred, but I think the title is probably more pointed at something else. we'll see.

It's not about leaving things alone, as much as leaving them alone, 'til you can deal with them properly. I fear stupidity, as I have much of the season.

Off Topic: I taped the big Tru Calling finale on Thursday, I found it terribly amusing. Especially 90210-boy. He's so didactic it's funny, or perhaps it's more he's so stupid about it. I think it's getting better. Maybe not 'great' but interesting in a good/bad vein. Sadly isn't not in that early BtVS clever way of poking fun at itself of course. Its very much despite itself. Though despite that and sometimes because of it: I was somewhat entertained.

Thought you might be interested, or at least slightly amused.

You're right, I didn't see it. But like you said, that doesn't mean I wasn't offended.

I was just thinking that yesterday... how they made him dark without making him go all "grrr" evil.
Just saw "Reunion" yesterday. The end? Pretty dark.

True. I wish they had more time to deal with certain things then, if they must deal with them.

I meant to watch it, and then I didn't. Sort of caught wind of what was happening though. It is slightly entertaining/interesting. Better than a lot of the stuff out there anyway, but still not near Buffy quality.
