Buffy Rewatch: Bad Eggs
I think I might be in the minority, but I really like S2's 'Bad Eggs.' The Redneck Vamp brothers amuse me to no end (and I am very very glad Lyle escapes, I can't help it). The egg thing is suitably creepy and fun, the zingers are great (especially Cordy and Xander back-and-forth in sex ed) and I love seeing Buffy and Angel so happy together and having a lot of fun making out like totally hormonally driven dorks instead of hunting. And it's one of my favorite shippy moments, when he tells her he can't have children (which would be part of her normal life of course) and she doesn't care and she tells him 'When I look into the future, all I see is you. All I want is you.' If only it were that simple. And the camera pans over, rather chillingly in retrospect, to the headstone with 'in loving memory of.'
I just love that sweetness especially since I know what happens next ep. I think the fact that Surprise is next is actually part of the reason I like BE so. It's the last breathing space before the rest of the season tears my heart out and dances a tap dance on the remains. I love the second half of S2 (IMO the best Buffy arc ever), but I am dreading it, too.
Xander/Cordy doing their patented 'insult each other between makeout sessions' thing. They make me LOL so much:
Buffy, terrified of being a single mother to an egg. Good! According to SMeyer of Twilight infamy, liking eggs is a first sign of pregnancy, anyway :P
Angel and Buffy have their own definition of 'patrolling to look for evildoers.' All of a sudden, I want to go to Slayer school.
Trying to be good:
And failing:
When your egg child becomes a problem child:
I can't help it, I like Lyle Gorch:
Poor Buffy, so full of ennui:
But it's OK, Angel's tongue gives her energy:
I love this scene so much! The whole mention that he can't have vamp kids (duh) and he totally feels guilty/unworthy again. And then he asks her if she ever thinks of the future and she tells him all she sees and wants is him (which is something he so needs to hear, he isn't big on self-esteem) and he breathes back 'I know the feeling' and they are making out again. *melt die revive melt again* And then the camera pans over a gravestone. Yeah, twist the knife on this rewatch, why don't ya, Joss?
Love all three of them:
The sexiness that is the possessed Giles:
I love this shot of super-tough Buffy:
Poor Joyce. She is so out of her depth with her daughter:
That's one way to obey your Mom's instruction to stay in your room. How come that never happened to me in school? Maybe I should have been more rebellious.
Got the caps at the usual place.
