Buffybot ,'Dirty Girls'
This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.
I think it's brilliaint in Revelations when the fake watcher chick plays on this insecurity.
Aww, poor Faith. This was my first Faith episode, and it's where she's at her most sympathetic, so that probably contributed to my instant affection for her.
I think faith had me at the first "wicked cool," though I did somewhat resent her within the story context for driving a wedge between Buffy and Willow. Extremely promising character from the get-go, however.
Yes, and when she told the Mayor he was "wicked gross" she owned me forever (I think in part, this is because it was obvious that not only Faith was a home girl (for me), but that Eliza is, too). I resented the wedge between Buffy & Willow too, except--damn--that's fine writing, acting, and direction that makes a person resent a fictional character in that way.
Faith's stoopid and relly uncool. I h8ed her!!1!
LyEr!
Hee.
Nice review. I agree with everything he says.
Although he did seem a tad sensitve to certain things:
When the Scoobs argue and Xander is the one who sees things clearly, it's a nice moment for Xander because it rarely happens and he quickly hands the Brains of the Outfit hat back to Giles, Willow, and Buffy. But mishandling either of these elements will make it look … girls need guys to solve their problems (see the resolution of season six).
Noxon's "Beauty and the Beasts… ends with Angel saving Buffy rather than Buffy saving herself.
I disagree that showing Xander saving the day or Angel saving Buffy damages the show's feminist credibility too badly.
My memory may be dim, but I don't recall Angel so much "saving" Buffy in "Beauty and the Beasts" as ruthlessly killing the guy she was fighting before Buffy herself could put him down in a non-lethal manner. Actually, "Angel" and "Earshot" are about the only instances I can recall where Angel clearly saved Buffy rather than just helping out.
