Episode 15 - School Hard
You know that scene in Bad Boys II where Martin Lawrence looks over at Will Smith and says, "This shit just got real." Yeah, this episode is like that.
School Hard - or - Now this is more like the vampires who live in my head
Synopsis: The night of St. Vigeous approaches. But Spike jumps the gun and busts in on a parent teacher confrence night. It becomes obvious that the Ferengi knows more than he's saying. And it becomes obvious that Spike is my new reason to continue watching this show.
Spike. Oh Spike. Where has Joss been hiding you? And why? Let's run away together. Me, you.... and that crazy ass Dru who reminds me of one too many of my own vampire characters. You are so entertaining, so lovely, so vibrant and fun that you are a worthy distraction from my usual game of Spot the Stunt Double.
Crazy. Spike and Dru are just fucking crazy. Finally, vampires that are vampires. They're weirdly intimate, suddenly violent, and all the while spouting off witty banter.
Oh how I love thee Spike and Dru. Let me count the ways.
1. Spike calls the crucifixion the vampiric Woodstock. Everyone claims to have been there, and uses being there as some sort of legitimizing factor.
2. This quote from Spike as he addresses the other vampires: "Any of you want to test who's got the biggest wrinklies 'round here... step on up."
3. Dru has creepy ass dolls. And she has named them. Ms. Edith must face the corner because she was bad. Oh Dru, how edible you are.
4. As Angel tries to convince Spike that he has been lying to Buffy about being a tortured repentant demon. Spike's reply? "People still fall for that Anne Rice routine? What a world!" This makes me want to climb inside Spike's pants and live there.
5. Continuing the above conversation, Spike refers to Angel as his sire and... yes... his Yoda.
6. Spike kills the chosen one. That's really all I have to say there. Finally.
7. The Spikester's take on vampirism? "Less ritual. More fun."
After John dies mysteriously in his sleep, I am so marrying Spike.
Moral of the episode: Dru is a princess. Yes, that's what she is.
