It's been a while since I watched this scene. What are they talking about while they are in front of the map?

I think it pisses me off more that the woman writing this IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND ON IMDB.

I haven't read any posts after the first post here but in Spike's case it was always said that he was different. This explains why he loved Buffy and had feelings for her before he had a soul. Drusilla even references the reasoning for turning him was that he had "golding fishes" around his head. Drusilla was attracted to the fact that Spike would be made into a different type of vampire. From my interpretation, this means that he is able to love and all that other fun stuff.

That cowgirl hat that Buffy wore at the beginning of Pangs was completely random. No it wasn't. It represented that Buffy may in fact by a "black hat" instead of a "white hat" by being insensitive to the Native Americans in the episode. That was there for a symbolism thing.

It seems like a mixed reaction is coming from the crowd.
I'm surprised that a lot of people felt that this was more of an "outline". It's funny, if I was Zack and I had such a compelling, interesting, unanswered storyline and I was able to write it...I would put in as much ass-wooping awesomeness that I could before I let this get out to the public. Now they can never fix it...unless they plan to expand. But they still have a basic storyline they must stick within. Shame. I'll still pick it up, eventually.

I'm pretty certain it's in the episode "All the Way" but at the big fight ending scene of the episode there is a HUGE editing mess up. Buffy and the vamps are fighting and Buffy dodges a punch, leading the vampire to punch and break the glass of a car door.
But before he even hits the damn door, the glass is already cracked ALL OVER so the actor has an easier chance to stick his hand through. The change is so obvious before he even TOUCHES the door that my friends laughed (on their first time seeing the episode and things like this are normally noticeable after repetitive viewing).

I have to say that Eliza's first run in Angel Season One basically proved to me that she could act. On Buffy, she never really did anything other than "I'm a badass" (besides when she played "Buffy" but Sarah's acting completely over-shadowed Eliza's in that episode) I have to respectfully disagree here. Eliza has ALWAYS blown me away, she brings a real vulnerability to a character that in the hands of a less-talented actress would have been very one-dimensional (is that the right expression I'm looking for? I'm tired right now). Plus, in Who Are You, I think that she completely outshone Sarah. I think Sarah is an incredible actress, but I found her perfomance as Faith weak, unbelievable and very shallow. There was no real depth to her performance, none of the vulnerability and I really did not feel like I was watching Faith at all. Eliza, on the other hand, nailed every single one of Buffy's nuances. Back to Eliza in general, though, I think she definitely got to flex her acting muscles to a greated extent on Angel and showed us just how raw and emotional she could be. Loved her performance when she's torturing Wes. She manages to portray just how much Faith hates what she's doing in such a subtle way. And that scene in the rain where she's begging Angel to kill her? OSCAR worthy! I would respectfully disagree that although her performance on Angel is spectacular, it is by no means Oscar-worthy. But I always feel oddly uncomfortable whenever I watch anything with Eliza Dushku. I felt most of her performances were flat on Dollhouse, and even more so on Buffy. I think it has to do with her face and how she handles her body on Buffy (not so much on Angel). She seems to be playing the "normal/stereotypical" bad girl act by swinging her arms, and cracking her knuckles and holding the ends of her sleeves. I felt Buffy got Eliza's mannerisms down MUCH better than Eliza got Sarah's. Eliza, to me, does not play a good "person in distress" to me. Buffy got Eliza's walk, her sit, and her look. She even shows more Eliza-esque acting when she subtly changed her emotion as she was beating "herself" up. This may seem like I am completely ripping on Eliza, which I am not. I think she did a great job in everything she has done...she had just transcended to another level in Angel rather than in Buffy.

Thanks for the feedback, guys! I'm definitely leaning toward "Hush" or Season 4's Halloween Episode, "Fear, Itself." I think I may go with "Hush" simply because it's more serious and easier to analyze. I feel like "Fear, Itself," while great for us Buffy fans, is a little harder to approach as a standalone. Sadly, only two of my twenty-two students have ever watched or heard of Buffy. What's wrong with kids these days?! Before you show the episode I would still shortly recap what has happened up until this point in the show. It might make it easier for the students to relate and follow.

On Buffy, she never really did anything other than "I'm a badass" (besides when she played "Buffy" but Sarah's acting completely over-shadowed Eliza's in that episode) so when she broke down in the alleyway it was truly emotional and a great character moment. I remember my initial reaction was that I was floored and couldn't believe she pulled off that and made it believable.

I just considered it that they all died. I thought it was a wonderful ending that Angel was still fighting (even though there was nothing in it for him...since the whole soul signing thing) and there was absolutely no way he could have won against the army...so I just considered it the epitome of what ANGEL was about and it was his true ending...which was both greatly respectful and expected.

I would really like to see Anne. She is one of the main supporting characters (almost an extra) that have made it through the entire Buffyverse...she actually might be the only one. I believe Harmony did the same thing. She was only an extra, one of Cordy's followers, but the writers kept adding to her, and before you knew it... BAM. She's a leading role on Angel! And as an above post said, Anne did appear recently. What I meant by "made it through" was that she survived. Harmony didn't...she was made into a vampire

This actually pretty funny if you think about. I just re-watched the finale of Buffy and in the final scene (when the camera is slowly panning in on Buffy's famous last smile) the characters all have little discussions. One of the main lines is Faith's line "So how does it feel not being the one and only chosen anymore? You just gotta live like a person, how's that feel?" (or something along those lines). It's kind of ironic if you think about it because Buffy HASN'T been "the ONE AND ONLY chosen" since Fiath arrived...yet Faith is the one to say that line. I thought this was pretty funny when I re-watched it back. Just wanted to share. Maybe there is an underlying thing that Joss was trying to do that I didn't catch on?

It relates because Rocky Horror is about sexuality. That's what makes it so great. They had to change the words "transvestite" and "black kiss". If you ask me, Rocky Horror seems MORE believable to flip out over than Britney Spears. Maybe they should have done the Sue flip out in this episode instead? Actually, the still said "transvestite". It was "transsexual" they got rid of. (/nitpick) And again, the episode hasn't aired yet. It's very possible that Sue will flip out over this too. We'll see. I guess we can agree to disagree. Most Rocky Horror fans I have spoke to are very displeased with the released songs so far and especially seeing who sings what part. I still watch the show, I just am very upset with what I've heard so far.

They changed the words and characters of each song. Not to mention: wasn't the school in a rut about them performing Britney Spears?! So they're fine with them doing Rocky Horror? Silly. It's a school play/tribute, things have to be changed. Especially when making the movie work in the confines of a 42 minute TV show with a 12 person Glee club. They can rework as much as they want (and in this show's case, it wasn't much). The bottom line is that they're paying tribute to a cult classic. I don't see any others shows lining up to do one. Just the fact that one is happening is cool enough. Also, the issues with the Britney Spears episode came from one person (Sue Sylvester), but I don't really see how that pertains to the Rocky Horror PS. It relates because Rocky Horror is about sexuality. That's what makes it so great. They had to change the words "transvestite" and "black kiss". If you ask me, Rocky Horror seems MORE believable to flip out over than Britney Spears. Maybe they should have done the Sue flip out in this episode instead?

I'm confused They're not really changing the show. The episode is about the Glee club actually putting on the show for the school music. This They changed the words and characters of each song. Not to mention: wasn't the school in a rut about them performing Britney Spears?! So they're fine with them doing Rocky Horror? Silly.
