Annais - I thought maybe she was another slayer too, but why would she be running away, not fighting? and I love Buffy and all, but I would LOVE to have anything here be pre-empted by a hockey game. We get zip!
jempd - I think that Spike is being tortured by his past since he got his soul back, now he has a conscience and remembers all the horrible things he has done. I think Angel went through the same thing. Dh wanted to know how we can call him Spike with his hair all curly...

Diaper Diva - in my area our Fox and UPN stations did this very weird thing - they merged into the same building, and switched channels. So now in my area Buffy is on the old Fox channel.
I thought it was a pretty good episode, I liked how they handled Willow, and it was sweet to see her and Giles bonding and healing and stuff. Dawn was way less whiny, Buffy less harsh to her. Looks like Dawn got her own Scooby gang now, I had heard rumors that if SMG leaves Dawn may pick up the peices and go, which seems silly because she has no special strength or skills.
