It is very, very mean of Once More, With Feeling to put Buffy and Xander in all those bloody two-shots. They're promoting a sense of intimacy there.

I'm not objecting, except on the lack of follow-through.

In the earlier group scenes, Xander is blocked much closer to Buffy than he is Anya. Willow and Tara are sitting together on one side of the table, Buffy and Xander are on the other, and then Giles and Anya are at the other sides. And then, glory of glories, Buffy and Xander act as a parental unit towards Dawn, smacking down the idea of romance in singing and dancing in perfect unison. It's very Jack and Daniel of them.

I adore the look of Season Six -- it dances on the edge of darkness and light.

I love Xander's apartment, all windows and light. In some ways, Cordelia was right in Rm W/A VU when she sorta coupled living place with attitude. On these shows, where you live does say a lot about where your mental state is.

Walk Through the Fire kicks such total ass.

Willow and Tara are constantly blocked as a couple in a way that Xander and Anya aren't. Willow and Tara tend towards each other, as though something greater pulled them together. Sadly, for Xander and Anya, their 'something greater' was always 'sex'. Foundation of their relationship.
