DUUUUUDE YOUR HAIR IS SO FUCKING CUTE!!! IT SUITS YOU SO WELL!!!

Everyone talking about your hair, and I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon. Love the light & dark thing you've got going on! But now on to the episode. So excited to get to the final few episodes of this season with you.

Raven Dark

Whoo hoo! What a great reaction, Darcie. So excited for the rest of the season!

The writers really had fun with this one. There’s a moment around 18:00 where Anya says “who’s up for some tasty fried meat products?” A few seconds later, Tara opens the window and burns Spike’s hand. If I’d written that, I’d have been giggling like a fool as I typed it (only took me ~20 years to notice).

First of all. Hair? Thumbs up! Second, a question. Does anyone feel like the ultimate stakes of this season and the "Key" thing were explained a bit late in the game? I feel like it might have been better if the Scoobies knew a few episodes earlier that the stakes were more than just Dawn's life, but the existence of all universes too. I've always felt that the debate between strategies -- protect The Key or destroy The Key -- was short changed. And the Knights of Byzantium's motivations never really got the thorough thinking-through I think they deserved, because there wasn't time. I mean, why didn't the Knights explain things to Buffy that specifically much earlier on? Then again, it was pretty late in Season 3 before everyone actually understood that The Mayor was far more than just a sinister small town mayor dabbling in magic.

First, I love your hair! 🔥❤️ She truly is the moment. I also love the fight scene on top of the RV, I think it's one of my favorites in the series. I remember when I first watched it, 8-year-old me was motivated to also try a back handspring on top of our car (this was quickly vetoed by my sister and I never got to try it 🤷‍♀️😂). But Buffy's outfit, the sword fight, all the badassery on the top of a moving vehicle is just wonderful

Don't know why I never noticed it before, but on this rewatch with Darcie I realized something happens in this episode that kind of foreshadows a really big moment in another Whedon creation. The irritating thing is I kind of hope Darcie watches the other Whedon shows, so I don't want to say anything more specific. It's just that there are a lot of parallels between a scene here and another scene elsewhere that became a signature moment. Now I feel the need to figure out if anyone else has pointed out this connection before...

Fun personal factoid: this was the first episode of Buffy I ever remember seeing. I was just flipping channels, and I was MESMERIZED by the RV fighting and the lead being a girl and everything. But I had no idea what I was watching. It wasn't until a year later that I was at a new baby sitter's house (I was like 11yo) and Buffy was on before school one morning that I finally found out what show I'd seen that day. There was a commercial for Season Four on DVD and I told my mom I wanted it. For Christmas she surprised me: Season Five was out, and BestBuy had a deal that you got the Buffy movie free when you bought Season Five. I didn't even know there was a movie. I watched all of Season Five in a week, subscribed to Buffy magazine, and within a year had all the other seasons on DVD, had friends online around the world through the Buffy fandom, and became a part of an offline community of Midwest Buffy fans that meets once a year to support Make-A-Wish. And if I'd never seen Spiral by accident, I don't know if any of that would have happened.
