SHOWTIME
Halfway through season 7, nearly at the end now!
The Good;
The seige of Revello Drive and Buffy taking the Turok-Han down.
The Bad;
So why doesn't the Turok-Han attack night after night? The only thing I can think off is that it wanted to get some of the Potentials to Sunnydale? Or maybe the Turok-Han has some limits to it's strength and needs to 'recharge'? (this ep is set several days after the last)
Best line;
Buffy; "Welcome to thunderdome!" followed by "Dust, like all the rest"
Although I also like;
Rhona; (on being handed a sword) "What's the point?"
Kennedy; "It's the sharp end"
Women good/men bad;
Dawn says the Slayer is always female because girls are just cooler.
Jeez!;
Kinky dinky;
Anya once had a one night stand with the six spleened demon whilst wearing entrails! Anya offers to have sex with her ex in return for info. He turns her down...(perhaps why she's so insecure in Get It Done?)
Captain Subtext;
Will still shy about sharing Kennedy's bed but the rich minx isn't so hesitant. Andrew refers to his 'joystick hand' which even Xander won't 'touch' (interesting phrasing?).

What the fanficcers thought;
www.fanfiction.net/s/3065698/1/Who_shall_hear_my_children_when_they_cry (don't worry, non-adult)
Questions and observations;
Vi refers to Faith. The game 'Six degrees of Kevin Bacon' is mentioned (simple, Kevin was in Will and Grace as was Seth Green). Bojoxers eye is very reminiscent of Big Trouble in Little China. If the bringers are human why doesn't Xander just get Anya's gun and shoot them? Kennedy says she's been training since she was 8? Buffy tells Rhona 'Welcome to the Hellmouth'! The Coven is still there so Giles and co still have allies around the world. Holy Water works on Turok-Han even though they must surely predate Christianity? Mad Max 3 quoted although I never thought it was that successful in the US (and again, a reference for scriptwriters in their 30s rather than a 23 year old?). Buffy wins because she has the human traits of strategy and weapons and is fighting for the people she loves. If the First needs to release more Turok-Han why doesn't it just bleed the Bringers?
