[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Season two. Apparently I started five episodes in, so I'll do the first four I missed, and then? Well, then I will probably just watch the rest, until I get to some point where I haven't clogged things up with comments. (Season four.) "When She Was Bad" Buffy comes back from summer vacation with a chip on her shoulder, and is mean to everyone until she works out her unresolved issues related to dying. They say "issues" a lot. I think this is the only episode on DVD that comes with a "previously on Buffy the Vampire Slayer" opening. (Not counting bonus easter egg ones.) I guess Willow and Xander walking alongside a cemetery in the dead of night with no concern is supposed to impress on us how the vampires all gave up after the Master was killed, but it still doesn't seem very wise, especially since no one ever gets to go out at night and not run into vampires. But first, some near-kissing. And then a vampire. Now they have to wait another year. Buffy's father bought her so many clothes because this is his last appearance, I bet. Cordelia complains about Tuscany, and Miss Calendar went to Burning Man. To the extreme! I guess. She should be carrying around a copy of Wired magazine. (Because they write a lot about Burning Man, see. And were hipper than hip at the time, sort of. 1998ish. I don't know.) Angel will just let himself out the window, then. Hey, let's say "Cibo Matto" a whole bunch! I like how interested Cordelia is in demons now. Did you guys fight any demons over the summer? What's the demon situation like? It makes sense. But don't mention it in a crowded hallway. . . So is that Sean Lennon onstage with Cibo Matto, then? This whole consecrated ground thing doesn't seem to be much of a deterrent. The vampires digging with their hands are really just getting in the way of the ones with shovels. They should have brought more shovels. It is Sean Lennon. I was never clear if Cibo Matto proper was just the two ladies, or what. Their first album is pretty good. Buffy is mean. This whole scenerio is mean. Everyone knows something is crazy off-kilter when Buffy is willing to dance with Xander? I mean, what is she even trying to accomplish here? Cordelia gets to be the perceptive one, though I think she has a cold. . . . now mentioning vampires at a table in a crowded student lounge area, that's A-OK, apparently. I think the moral here is Angel shouldn't get involved with high school girls. You know what would have been shocking? If this vampire they think is Cordelia but then realize is a vampire turned out to actually be Cordelia, turned into a vampire. I guess that would mess up the big ceremony later. And Angel's TV show. This part, Xander saying to Buffy "If they hurt Willow I'll kill you"? I don't buy it at all. First of all, he's having some trouble standing up on his own, without trying to kill the girl with superstrength. It's just too much. Burning out the inside of this vampire's mouth might make it hard for her to answer Buffy's questions. Still, neat. Then there is a big fight scene, and a reconciliation, and so on, but my last note is about a possible continuity error regarding miniature golf courses in Sunnydale. This is why the creepy fan community can't have nice things. [/QB][/QUOTE]
