True wuv arising from the glimpse across a crowded church in what's my line? doesn't seem likely
That's why it's Romantic, silly!
The linguistic shift on the word "hunting" doesn't bother me in the slightest. It's not the word, but the intonation of the word, that's significant, which denotes more of a shift in Buffy's self-perception than it does on the action itself.
If you had asked Season 1 Buffy the difference between "patrolling for vampires" and "hunting vampires," she'd have dismissed you out of hand with a quip. Season 4 Buffy, on the other hand, had learned that there was indeed a difference, and it was a difference that even Giles had not really considered until that moment she pronounced the word.
Unrelated to the subject of discussion, but here I found an English version of an interview of an Israeli fan with Adam Busch (Warren)

Y'all are responsible for that. I just went to another Buffy-centric board, looking for topic.

Is this a *thwap* sort of thunk?
I'm happy to provide you with content, just give me a topic on which to riff, and a dead horse to take the beating.

Oh, Cindy... I'd think you'd have learned by now... Other boards are scary.

Is thwap the NAFDA pronounciation of billytea's thwump? If so, then yes. I think. I've forgotten in all the concussion.
YIKES! Hold me! I just channeled C*p'n C*rdbo*rd.

Was there anything redeeming in "Where the Wild Things Are"?
Given the havoc Spike wrought in "The Yoko Factor," why do you suppose the Scoobies didn't stake him on sight in "Primeval"? Were they just too busy?
People rave about Hush and The Body (and with good reason), but as much as I love them (and I do), neither of them approach either Becoming or Restless, for me. What do Becoming and Restless tell us about Buffy, the character--and heck--about the rest of the characters?
Oh, and my siggy, ms. erika and let the speculation on whether it's self (as in my- not as in your-) referential fly fast and furious.

Marsters. Power Center. Sad but true.
Hmm. Becoming is basically Life of a Slayer, 101. You have the sacrifices, the responsibility, and all the issues that will remain issues concentrated into two or so hours of pure pain, but in the good way. You also have the beginnings of the end or the end of the beginning with Willow and the magic, Xander and the lie, Buffy and trust in anyone other than herself.
Restless shows the internal fears that will continue to tear at them. Buffy, that she's somehow more and somehow less than others, Giles, that his life will never be his own, Willow, that she's still just a geek girl at heart, and Xander, that he's still just the failure who never gets in on the (wicca wicca) action, doomed to turn into his father.
