[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Well, with that ringing endorsement: "Never Kill A Boy On The First Date" Puns! Or is that technically a pun? More a play on words, I guess. Anyway, uh, Buffy goes out on a date. But it is interrupted by, surprise, vampires. But this time they have a big plan! "Oh, that's great! I kill them, you fence their stuff!" A fine plan, really, only most vampires don't leave any stuff behind. I'm pretty sure that if you leave a stake in one while it goes up the stake goes too, but on the other hand people touch them sometimes while they're vaporizing, and don't seem to suffer from any ill effects. I don't know why I'm even saying this. Whatever vampire religion it is the Master represents, it sure has a lot of sects and orders. Oh wow, Owen Thurman! That weird kid who doesn't go out much and moons over Emily Dickenson. I guess in Sunnydale all you need to seem mysterious is a Livejournal where you post Smith lyrics all the time. Except Owen can't be too weird, because he is also supposed to be dreamy. It is sort of a weird confluence, is what I'm getting at. I always get the impression, here in this shuttlebus attack sequence, that the bus is just randomly circling around in the middle of nowhere. Like, it just seems to be out there, and you don't usually see shuttlebuses plying darkened suburban streets. Or I don't think. I mean, are they on their way to the airport? Here is my ornate pocket watch. I wrote that down, but I can't remember who was giving it to whom, but apparently it was worth commenting on. Who even has a pocket watch? Probably Giles. Also, here is what I wonder about the Master's plan: Five people die and one becomes the chosen one. But, spoiler: it isn't who it appears to be. So did they turn all five into vampires, and choose the chosen one from that pool, or what? Poor, poor Xander. Hey, want to come over to Buffy's house and help her pick out a dress to wear on her hot date? The only proper response is no. Yet there he is. Even Cordelia is all over Owen. That lampshade really adds to the integrity of the baracade, guys. Good work. (Because they are trying to block a door, see.) Some unnecessary gymnastics and an (from his perspective) unfortunately slippery gurney finish of this vampire quickly enough. Cut to Xander and Willow enjoying juice the next day. And the moral Owen learned from an evening being chased around a mortuary by a reanimated corpse: fighting is totally rad! I wonder if he survived high school. Inbetween wanting to be a fighter pilot or a grocer, and accepting the inevitability of his career as a Watcher, Giles leaves out the part where he ran away to London and joined a band and worshipped Satan for a few years. Twist ending! The evil chosen one is actually innoccous small boy Colin. Only I don't think they mention his name in this episode. [/QB][/QUOTE]
