Episode 6 - The Pack
Here I am, settling into the characters. I'm comfortable with the fact that I want to take Willow aside and do very, very naughty things to her. I'm enjoying the curvy and actually tasty looking Buffy. I'm even shifting a little in my seat at Giles's yum yum accent.
But everytime Xander opens his mouth, I think only of Bobby. Yes, this is entirely how Bobby would act if Rabbit started killing vampires. This is entirely how Bobby acts now.
And then, this episodes comes along.
The Pack - or - The First Episode Where Xander Seems Kinda Hot
Synopsis: The spirit of scavenger animals possesses a clique of highschool kids causing them to prey on the weak and eat their principle. No one notices the difference.
Possessed by Hyena spirits. Sure. I'm with this. Predatory gazes. Sniffing of hair. Need to eat meat. Yeah, these are all yummy traits in a man. And seeing Xander with a bit of spine. This is kinda cool. Ooh.. and he made Willow cry. Dear god... that's... honestly, kinda hot X. Way to go!
And yeah, this is all a little awkward. Because equating Bobby with Xander isn't so funny.
And then we get to the scene where Xander has Buffy pinned on the floor of the same room where the cute little mascot met his demise.
AWKWARDLY HOT.
Cause if Xander = Bobby, then Buffy = Rabbit... and rawr.. and yet... nooooooooo. No. No no no!
Aroused, and yet ready to punch the object of my arousal in the face. Story of my life.
Moral of the episode: Boys will always ruin a good pinning scene by uttering some line to remind you that this is about -their- ego, not your hotness.
