butterflyThis is much longer than last night's reactions.
I automatically typed 'dirrty' at first. Oh, Christina, how thou hast ruined mine spelling. Or something. I'm probably not using the tenses correctly. It's been awhile since I wrote in Shakespeare's English.
Starting from the top: I was completely freaked out, in the best way, by Nathan Fillon as Caleb. The second he appeared on screen, I squeaked. Because, unlike Zoe (real name?) as Jasmine, I had been unspoiled for Caleb. And his first scene was brilliant. I totally thought he was a good guy until he showed his true crazy colors. It's utterly amusing that they have two characters from Firefly playing two different odd religious types. I wonder if Caleb would fall under Jasmine's spell. Hmm. That would be an interesting concept to explore in fanfic. I was totally spell-bound by Caleb, like all those girls he mentioned (like the one we saw), and then he put out my sweetie's eye. And now I really want him to painfully die, but he'd still way interesting. Villains never really hurt the core Scoobs. Giles escaped head-wacking. Buffy's died but she's still pretty. And Willow's worst look was giving herself that bad dye job with the books. Black veins not optional!
So, Xander would come in next. First off, I would like to say that I was so very amused by his dream. He's my age (a year over) and I get him. If I had hot teen girls sleeping in the next room, I'd be dreaming about them coming onto me too. And he was so amazing in this episode. He gave a motivating speech that was actually motivating. And Buffy heard! Buffy never sees the cool stuff he does when it's not toward her. And she did! And she got a little mushy (luckily, Faith was there to put the snark back into the evening, right). And now. Poor Xander's eye. I've mentioned this already, many times, but I could mention it for all eternity. His eye. One of his pretty, pretty eyes. I love Xander's eyes. I put Xander's eyes on one of my fic buttons. And now one of them is gone. *sniffle*
Now we can move onto Faith and Spike, who are practically the same person. In fact, they are the same person, with the externals reversed. Repentant. Screwed over Buffy. The only difference is in where they stand with Her Ladyship. Faith slept with one of Buffy's boyfriends and stole Angel's sympathy (B's pov). I'm guessing that our girl blames Faith for Angel hitting Buff. I'm guessing, considering her reaction to Faith telling her that 'Angel said hi', that she is not over the whole paranoid over Faith and Angel thing. And then to find her co-opting Spike... well, I can understand Buffy's reaction. Especially since Faith and Spike were flirting.
Buffy was still harsh to Giles (probably because she thinks that he should know better). At this point, she doesn't know that he killed Ben (shooting script doesn't count), so she doesn't know that he's gone behind her back more recently than Helpless. She doesn't blame Wood as much because she didn't trust him as much. I love her reaction to Xander's speech. She seriously softened there for a minute. It was nice to see her do that in reaction to someone not Spike.
Overall, the episode was filled with things that shocked, amused, or horrified me. A serious success in my book.
