Spike's monologous interruptus makes me laugh out loud every single time.<br /><br />A lot of the posters on Oz's wall are of bands that have had songs featured on the show in the past, including Cibo Matto and Velvet Chain.sunbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553429350476841139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-36540766739633382052013-10-05T12:46:57.220-04:002013-10-05T12:46:57.220-04:00So sorry I haven't been able to keep up with t...So sorry I haven't been able to keep up with the rewatch. I didn't get to watch this again, but I remember that seeing Willow's heartbreak breaks my heart every time. I love her and Oz together, and as glad I am for Seth Green that his career took off, it is sad that he had to go.<br /><br />Not a fan of Veruca either! I like the name reference, though. :)Suzannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-48411004161324973012013-10-05T11:30:49.628-04:002013-10-05T11:30:49.628-04:00Benjamin Disraeli said it best, "The magic of...Benjamin Disraeli said it best, "The magic of first love is our ignorance that it can ever end." This episode perfectly captures that moment, the first time you realize that the person you love(d) so much is not your happily ever after. Heartbreak always sucks, but the first one is the worst.<br /><br />I thought everyone brought their A-game to this episode. It's a great hour of television when you both laugh out loud (Giles at the Bronze) and cry (pretty much the entire time with Willow).ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-15697811908257636382013-10-05T04:48:54.760-04:002013-10-05T04:48:54.760-04:00Its hard watching Willow getting her heart broken,...Its hard watching Willow getting her heart broken, so not very enjoyable but its an important episode in the overall story. It was good to get a glimpse of Spike, and amusing to see his big bad speech zapped. Its about time we got some answers about the soldiers that seem to be patrolling the campus at night.<br /><br />I think it is Veruca that brings it down for me, we now understand why Oz is drawn to her but she's just annoying and obvious and the scenes where she's supposed to be singing are pretty dire.<br />Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08348075897600518734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-48849324066840061042013-10-04T18:46:28.974-04:002013-10-04T18:46:28.974-04:00This one is kind of meh for me.

Oz' dilemma didn't really interest me much. Despite my Willow love, their relationship just never really felt deep or lasting to me. (Maybe the danger with having an extremely laconic character is that it's hard to connect to him.) Anyway my thoughts as I watched:<br /><br />I’m actually not a big fan of the fight scenes, but finally, it seems like forever since we saw a staking. Spike! Vampire tasers?<br /><br />I’m not feeling Veruca(?) She gives me kind of a Faith vibe and I never liked her. Ok, so I was clearly right about her. Although it may be the actress isn’t working for me in the role. And now it’s all a moot point.<br /><br />Willow – best friend ever. Happy for Buffy making her academically jealous. <br /><br />Poor Giles needs a direction, he’s starting to look a bit seedy.<br /><br />Xander – still acting mature “If you’re doing it, I think you’ve gotta be ready to say it.”<br /><br />Where is Oz’s cage? How do they all come up with the resources to deal with these secret life issues? Ok, I see it’s at the cemetery. <br /><br />I may not care about Oz and Willow's relationship, but I'm a little worried about her now. Will she loose that sweet joy? I hope not.<br />Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11966759921022568638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-22561574810281375992013-10-04T18:18:17.832-04:002013-10-04T18:18:17.832-04:00Sad.Sad.Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-15648389422016251172011-10-04T21:42:41.528-04:002011-10-04T21:42:41.528-04:00Sooze, Seth Green had so many movie roles at this ...Sooze, Seth Green had so many movie roles at this point that he really couldn't do <i>Buffy</i> any more.
