Mid-season Buffy continues to blur together (Buffy’s line “Usually blows around May” is appropriate in more ways than one), and trying to avoid repeating myself is making these reviews unavoidably shorter. Everyone does pretty much the same thing as last episode, with the exception of Wood, who becomes more integrated into the group. It’s better than the ubervamp arc and there’s some good structure to the episode but it’s still pretty ordinary.

I liked Spike better in this one. He’s acting pretty soft at the moment. He’s trying to be good but he’s uncomfortable in his new role as a good guy and there was some interesting tension when he met Wood that’s been missing from this season. I can see why Angel had to mope about for so long to convince people that he’d changed.

They’re collecting quite a few potentials. Probably should get themselves a hotel like Angel. There’s a lot they could learn from him.

Buffy should stop fighting the system. Everyone needs more power and the price wasn’t that high. Maybe she hasn’t seen how crap her potentials are.
