Past the halfway mark of the first season. Is it getting into its stride? Do we feel comfortable with these characters? Do we care what happens to them?
This week we will be looking at:
Angel
In which Buffy discovers what might happen if your boyfriend gets turned on, Xander is rude to Cordelia, Giles feels he’s done enough work on the quarterstaff and the Master needs consolation.
I Robot, You Jane
In which Willow gains a boyfriend, Giles tells Jenny knowledge should be smelly and Buffy and her friends face a romance-free future. Flashbacks are a thing that happens.
The Puppet Show
In which Giles directs talent, Cordelia demonstrates it, Snyder is scathing, the end-credits are the BEST EVER and Buffy has to face a dummy.

More in detail on these episodes on Thursday and Friday, as usual. For now, is the 90s internet just too funny, too depressing or too unconvincing? Is this the point where we all became Bangels? And do dummies give you the wig?
Caps, as usual, are from
Pretty as A Picture.
