Buffy: 2x19 - Choices

[fajrdrako]

I skipped over two episodes of Buffy and didn't even notice I'd missed them. My excuse: I seem to have a case of flu that is meddling with my brain competence. Or something.

Blush. Okay, skipping back two episodes: "Choices".

3. Northwestern a real university? - Yes. In Illinois.

8. Giles doesn't see a need to control her - He tried, and he tried following the council's orders, but after 3x12 (Helpless) Giles has realized that Buffy is better off doing her own thing with his guidance, not orders.

Northwestern: cool.

I love it that Giles can learn from experience. And that he understands Buffy. I think they're actually very alike.

Great episode and you highligthed some great lines. I forgot how rockn the Mayor was.

[fajrdrako]

The Mayor was amazing. Funny and scary and always in character, always with a new facet coming out. A brilliant character.

Again, all my favorite bits. I got kind of excited - even though I know the series goes on - to find that Willow and Buffy would be going to the same school.

And I tried to hate the Mayor, but I almost accidentally liked him.

I got kind of excited ... to find that Willow and Buffy would be going to the same school.

The show would be so different if they weren't together. Or if they weren't both in it.

The Mayor was too entertaining to hate. He was creepy, so I can't say I liked him, but I always love his scenes.

You are poorly?

*squishes you* - very gently and from a distance because of the 'germs'

Feel better soon.

[fajrdrako]

Thank you for the nice non-germy wishes. I'm feeling better now... not quite 100% but much better. Almost myself.

# Exchange between the Mayor and Angel:

Mayor: So you're the little girl that's been causing me all this trouble. She's pretty, Angel. A little skinny. Still don't understand why it couldn't work out with you and my Faith. Guess you kind of just have strange taste in women.
Angel: Well, what can I say? I like them sane.

I suppose sanity, like many things, is relative.

Bear in mind he drove Drusilla mad - layers...

Willow: good with a pencil. I pity the poor vampire who messes with her.

She will Develop Her Skills...

Yup, these late S3 episodes really rock. The Mayor is just wonderfully twisted.

Bear in mind he drove Drusilla mad - layers...

And rejected her too, didn't he? Layers and layers. My thought was not so much of his relationship with Drusilla (apparently unaffected by her madness) but whether Buffy was actually what I'd call sane.

They do!
