ah! I've had my dose of new buffy! I really liked that episode! It feels more like they are getting back to creepy horror buffy and less depressing emotional buffy (I still liked the show, even through it's mood swings <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> )

As for the slayer.. their pretty specific about slayers being "born" with their powers.... or at least being born with the chance of getting their powers. Their also REALLY specific about there being only one in each generation..... so umm... when buffy died the first time, that other slayer chick (the one who got killed by dru) had her powers "activated". Then, when that chick got killed, faith got "activated"... so I'm left with the whole, did someone else's powers get activated each time buffy died? (didn't she die like three times? ) Anyway, my dad and I were up till 3 am the night buffy came on talking about that lol... gee is buffy fanaticism genetic? <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Hmmmmm, I thought Giles spoke to Buffy when Faith arrived on the scene and told her that Faith had an "unstable" reputation previously as a slayer. I know she (Faith) relocated to Sunnydale when Buffy "died", but I understood that she had been training/patrolling somewhere else and her watcher was killed as well. I will have to go back to the season with Faith and check my episodic guides (talk about fanatic, eh?)

And with Dawn having been "the key", I am sure the writers can come up with some sort of "transformation" to a slayer-type (even using Buffy's last "death" that she was retrieved from). Oh well, I was disappointed that the Spike character came back so deranged, disoriented and well, rather wimpy, but we will see. VERY interesting "EVIL" though (a mix of them all) and prophetic wording that we shall be returning to the beginning....hmmmmmm (again).

Yep, Faith's watcher was killed, but this was a while after that other slayer chick got killed off. Faith struck me as another Buffy (rebeling against the rules) just not so successful about avoiding the influences of evil. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I think the wimpy spike was to introduce him, and show that he is still traumatised by the regain of his soul.... it looks like he's going to straighten back up to the tough guy we all know and drool over <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Don't spoil it for me will ya, Here we're just in the season where Buffy got back from 'heaven'

awww......i wish i knew what was happening in Buffy. I kinda stopped watching it, i've been too busy with school and homework.

I also, miss Angel. I used to watch the series, but just like what happened with me with Buffy, i stopped watching.

I've found I'm not as interested without Angel either. A good story line makes an amazing difference. It's still a good show, but I don't try to make time to watch it anymore.

Buffy is kind of back to its first season tone....so far, there are laughs and my nine year old can watch. Nothing deep but the underlying message is that something BIG is coming!! (A big evil awfulness from the basement of the school?)

Angel I watched after Charmed on Sunday. This particular episode was a bit silly, but it was the vehicle for Cordelia to regain her memory and now, her past and her feelings for Angel are being mulled over. Angel has great potential, but I keep waiting for that GREAT breakout episode....

I've found that I just much prefer Charmed and Third Watch. LOL What a combo huh? I actually watch very very little TV. I'm always cleaning, chasing my kids or on the computer but I make time for those two shows. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I have watched Angel a couple of times but I just never got into it. He's awesome to look at it, but a show needs more than an awesomely sexy vampire.
