snick_backup1. Okay, the guy Ted? Still creeps me the heck out. Yikes. Props to John Ritter (RIP), because he had my skin crawling from the very first scene, again. It occurs to me that with the faux-wholesomeness and corny moralizing, he was kind of a Mayor-prototype, although much skeezier.
I still think the robot thing was a ripoff, but even given that he was a robot, thinking she'd killed a human should have had some long-term effects on Buffy. *sigh* Okay, old complaint, moving on.
And also, the Stepford-powder seemed irrelevent and unnecessary. It'd have been more interesting without it.
2. Y'know, I have issues with how Kendra was written - that line "That's me favorite shirt. That's me only shirt!" makes me cringe every time - but there were some really cool moments between her and Buffy, and I'm sorry she got killed off. Even though we got Faith out of the deal. Kendra's is another one of those wasteful deaths in the Buffyverse that seemed to serve no useful purpose except as plot devices.
Is there any Kendra fic out there longer than a drabble?
3. Lyle Gorch has got to be one of the stupidest recurring characters to ever appear on the show. Even if he did only show up twice.
4. Xander/Cordy makes me giggle. It's still my favorite ship for either character.
5. And Oz/Willow. Oh, Oz/Willow! "I mock you wiz my monkey pants." *swoon* (Okay, yes, I have weird swooning triggers. Be quiet.)
6. I love how, in "What's My Line," there's the Angelus/Dru foreshadowing, and Spike not liking it but putting up with it because, after all, it's supposed to be temporary.
7. Also, random note: as of "Bad Eggs," we're still pronouncing it AN-gel-us. But we switch the emphasis to the second syllable sometime this season, right? I haven't been just hallucinating an-GEL-us all this time, have I? *suffers sudden paralyzing self-doubt*
