It's been a while since I've watched Buffy, but this brought back a lot of great memories. I can't remember what episode it was in, but I loved this line that Giles says to Xander in response to drinking coffee before an impending apocalypse: "Tea is soothing... I wish to be tense.
Now imagine waiting the ENTIRE SUMMER for the WB to air the second part, because this was the year of Columbine and they got nervous about some of the stuff in part two. Which, of course, was for no reason - postponing "Earshot" when it was scheduled to air just days after Columbine made sense, but this was just ridiculous.
Not that I am still bitter a decade (!!!) later or anything like that.
What happened to Choices and The Prom? I saw your Earshot post (and completely forgot to comment to it, oops), did I miss the ones in between?
Willow and Harmony sign each other's yearbooks and Willow confesses to Buffy that she hates Harmony. I'm not sure I understand that
I think it is about people getting all caught up in the atmosphere and nostalgia for the whole school thing when they are about to leave - and doing the polite social response thing at the same time. I've had conversations like that with people about staying in touch.
Is it a dream world? Is it just creepy, or is it a good thing in Faith's odd life?
I always thought it was kind of sweet. I liked the Mayor's line about "Nobody knows what you are. Not even you, little miss seen-it-all".
Lovely conversation between Anya and Xander
I am really fond of Anya. She gets some absolutely fabulous lines.
Love it that the Mayor walks into the library.I like his line to Snyder earlier "Sunnydale owes you a debt. And it will be repaid." followed by "Yes, sir
( ... )
Uh-oh. I seemed to have missed them inadvertently. Must retrack. Thanks for pointing this out!
I've had conversations like that with people about staying in touch.
I've never said it unless I meant it... Which doesn't always mean it happens. But I can imagine people saying it, and there's always an awkwardness if someone says it to you and you really don't want to be in touch.
Yup, those are great bits of dialogue!
you can see Faith realise that she's in really deep shit now.
Why does Xander slip into soldier-mode here? Just to remind us that he can?
Because it fits the needs of the story? It's not the last time useful soldier-knowledge will recur.
Willow and Harmony sign each other's yearbooks and Willow confesses to Buffy that she hates Harmony. I'm not sure I understand that. Do people always act so weird at graduation, or is it that Willow's messed up because she's afraid what the Mayor will do?
The former, I think. We're not done with Harmony yet, though.
Faith wears a dress. The Mayor acts fatherly. Awww. Is it a dream world? Is it just creepy, or is it a good thing in Faith's odd life?
Both, in a way. It will have repercussions.
And Wesley: "Was that a yes? I have trouble keeping track." Gad, I do love him. Can't see why the others don't.
He too will develop, though in Another Place.
Nice Buffy line: "I've narrowed down my list of one suspect." She's in fine form.
Yes, she's on a roll, our girl.
Anya wants Xander to leave with her. That's sweet

Good! Even though I'm citing the shows only shortly after watching them, it's fun to remind myself of the good lines.
"Tea is soothing... I wish to be tense."
How wonderful! Have I mentioned lately how much I love Giles?

I remember similar frustration in waiting for Dorothy Dunnett to write Checkmate.

And it's a great way to end an episode.

In terms of the full story, yes. But in this particular scene it seemed a little out of place to me. Except as reminder/foreshadowing.

Yay Harmony! - I say that because I know she's going to have a Spike connection.

I like the way you say that. On Angel, right?
Stick with your instincts; most are good.
Glad to hear it.
Hope to fill in the two I missed a.s.a.p.

One way of putting it! She appears in
Angel too.

Yes. Wes has one of the most complex and tragic character journeys in the Buffyverse. Think Jerrott.

I didn't know that. Glad to hear it.
Think Jerrott.
How... intriguing.
