[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Buffy decides to be more like Faith for reasons I'm not very clear on, a new Watcher arrives, and Faith kills the Deputy Mayor, though it is an accident, and she doesn't know who he is at the time. "Bad Girls" These are some oddly dressed vampires. And they have swords! I guess that explains the vaguely knightlike get-up. And good for them. Vampires should carry weapons more often. It's another peak inside the Mayor's closet of evil...and sanitary napkins. Huh. I don't really see why Buffy should feel obligated to do anything the Watchers say. They haven't been very trustworthy, and it isn't like she volunteered. I see they must teach that eyeglass-removal move at Watcher school. Faith wanders into the library and then wanders back out. This is during school hours. So she's officially attending now? I wonder what the other students make of her. Buffy, for instance, apparently has a bit of respect from the rest of the student body, for her various acts of heroism. What about Faith? Is she just the weird girl who seems to be from Boston despite clearly enunciating her R's? Buffy should have searched the crypt for this magic amulet in the daytime. That might lower the chances of being surprised by a group of vampires. And are they calling these guys the Illuminati? That's kind of odd. Buffy, on the fight against large numbers of sword-wielding vampires: "I don't think I'm explaining it well." Xander: "You're explaining it a lot though." I approve of this joke. I do not, however, approve of Xander's very TV eye twitch whenever Faith's name is mentioned. Now Buffy is just sneaking right out of class to go on slaying adventures with Faith? That doesn't seem very wise. Now they're at a rave! Is it an evil rave? No, apparently not. Still, that is a kind of weird choice of imagery. Look, they are cutting class! Now they are dancing closely with boys! They are bad girls! Right. Balthazar is one fat demon. I presume what's going on here is that the Mayor beat him up, or whatever, and kicked his vampire society out of town. Was he always this fat? He seems to have magic, uh, grabbing powers. I thought maybe he was a vampire himself, like in the movie Blade. But apparently not. Anyway, what I'm getting at is, was he crippled as a result, spending the next century eating and not getting any exercise? Or is he a slob demon or something? He doesn't seem very happy. Now Faith and Buffy are breaking into a well-armed sports store located right across the street from the current abandoned warehouse/demon headquarters. To get weapons? But the library is full of weapons! Buffy has a whole crate herself, at home. Then the cops show up. Good for them, I suppose. But, hey cops, right next door there's a crazy murderous gang. And your boss even wants them wiped out. Incidently, if I was the Mayor, I'd think about having a special team of police officers that was made up of vampires or something. They could go around and take care of things without having to be all sneaky and covert about it. I mean, other than having to operate at night. But I'm sure, in Sunnydale, an explanation for that could be made up. So, Buffy is now known to police not only as that girl once wanted for murder, but as that girl who was in a squad car just before it mysteriously crashed. Aren't the cops going to follow up on this? I guess not. The lesson here is, it is really unhealthy to be lurking in the shadows in an alley in Sunnydale at night, no matter who you are. The Deputy Mayor was sort of evil, though, I think. So at least there's that. Then there's a denouement, which features a fight and Balthazar getting electrocuted and some nice sword work from Giles, but I didn't write anything down about it. Faith is on a bad track. [/QB][/QUOTE]
