Buffy: 2x19 - Choices

Mar 24, 2009 17:25

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".

( More Adventures of Faith... )

Yay, Choices - possibly my favourite Willow episode. And I really like her dress too.

Oz, as always, is wonderful

I really liked the exchange:
XANDER: We Bohemian, anti-establishment types are used to being persecuted.
OZ: Well, sure. You're all so weird.

Wesley: You cannot leave Sunnydale. By the power invested in me by the Council, I forbid it. (
Giles: Ah yes, that should settle it.

I love Wesley's little hand gesture of forbidding. He's so cute when he's stuffy. And I liked how Giles was as proud of Buffy getting in Northwestern as Joyce was.

Ooh, and I love Wesley wanting to synchronise watches and everybody else not wearing any. (Though I don't understand how anyone can not wear a watch.)

Willow: good with a pencil. I pity the poor vampire who messes with herWillow being pretty darn good with everything here. I really like her confrontation with Faith, especially her line after Faith punches her ( ... )

Yes, she's at her best here, isn't she? She's the one who saves the day, and bravely.

Yes, that's a great Xander/Oz exchange. Oz is so wonderful. Not him so much as his dialogue. Every word he says, just about.

He's so cute when he's stuffy.

Oh, he is! Most people would just be annoying if they talked like that but his stuffiness is adorable. And usually bewildered. He can't understand why they don't all do it his way. So he keeps trying.

I liked how Giles was as proud of Buffy getting in Northwestern as Joyce was.

Yes. I'm a sucker for affection and pride between Giles and Buffy.

I love Wesley wanting to synchronise watches and everybody else not wearing any

So very cute.

I don't understand how anyone can not wear a watch

Especially in school, where schedules are so important. Constantly.

And here I thought you just didn't have a comeback.Brilliant. A wonderful moment. And illustrates so well the contrast between Willow and Faith. The one all brains and understanding, the other ( ... )

I truely didn't grow to enjoy Cordy till about this point in the series. Seeing her be 'normal' instead of the snob she was raised to be totally made me gain affection.

Mayor is a creepy bastard, but I loved him as a villian, not as much as Spike though. And I rather prefer Spike in a non-villanic capacity anyway. I think I just made that word up...buffy makes me do that lol.

I came to enjoy Cordelia in season 2 - she has such wonderful lines. Sadly, I watched the first first episodes of Angel and hated her there with a passion, which is one of the reasons I stopped watching Angel cold. I'll go back.

The Mayor is entertaining but nothing compares to my love for Spike. Unless, maybe, I don't know, my love for Lymond or Aral Vorkosigan or Captain Jack Harkness or Sam Vimes.

Onward!

Making words up, especially when they have wonderful and coherent meanings, is a fine tradition. Buffy did it. Shakespeare did it. People should do it more.
