Currently on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Willow tries to strike a deal, fails and so she goes to the Magic Box, sucks all the bad mojo out of the books, heals Buffy, tracks down Warren, tortures him for a bit and then kills him. Buffy, Anya and Xander run around trying unsuccessfully to stop her. Dawn finds Tara, Xander and Buffy find Dawn, Buffy and Dawn find Spike gone, Xander and Buffy find out Anya is a demon again and, damn it all, Tara is still dead and in a body bag and on her way to an autopsy.
2) Black Magic Willow uses the same voice as Skanky Vampire Willow without the perky yet sadistic fun tone. Willow sounded flat, almost dead, throughout most of the show.
3) Yeah, I'm still angry. And bitter.
4) Spike should learn never to be cryptic or ambivalent when striking deals with demons. Or lawyers. Hasn't he watched Aladin? He is so going to end up with a little-bitty living space.
5) Llach's right. Warren looked like a Canadian speed skater.
6) Interesting to see an emergency department dealing with a gunshot wound without a whole lot of crashing through doors and screaming and splurting blood. Like, when the little machine that goes ping started going ping slower - they all just stood there. They should have been yelling for drugs and chest spreaders and where the hell was the surgery consult. But then, if that had happened it would have been ER and Joss would have killed Weaver and taken his stat up to 60%.
7) Apparently bitter is overtaking angry.
8) What the hades was with that flash of white light when Dawn found Tara? And don't give me "a throw away FX" because we know there's no such thing as a throwaway *anything* in the Buffyverse.
9) Know what I want to hear in the next two shows? I want to hear "I was so lost" / "I found you. I'll always find you." I figure that will do it.
10) Maybe.
Xander: "Can I just ask? What's with the makeover of the damned?"
Buffy: "Willow, if you do this you let Warren destroy you too."
Xander: "You said it yourself, Will. The magic's too strong. There's no coming back from it."
Willow: "I'm not coming back."
Xander: "Its just, I've had blood on my hands all day. Blood from people I love."
Willow: "Axe not going to cut it."
Warren: "It was an accident."
Willow: "Oh. Instead of killing my best friend you killed my girl friend."
Warren: "I mean, it wasn't personal."
Willow: "This is."
Willow: "Bored now."
Willow: "One down."
