This episode has always been a bit middle of the road for me, but I do really like how it simultaneously gives us a bit of a breather whilst also moving the plot and character arcs forward. I also love the end scene where Willow and Buffy talk about both making good first steps, without the whole thing being turned into the stereotypical hollywood-esque deal of, "Oh yay, we had a few good days, and now we're having a deep and meaningful conversation, everything is obviously all better now". One of the things I've always loved most about Season 6 is just how well (compared to other shows at the time) it did handle serious issues like depression, trauma, and addiction.

Oh man. I wonder if I should be embarrassed that I usually know what the trio is saying, haha. When he said he was hoping the gun would be “more ILM and less Ed Wood,” he referred to George Lucas’ Industrial Light and Magic special effects team, which was and in many ways still is the best in sci-fi special effects. Ed Wood wrote campy films with cheesy props. So basically, he was hoping for a cool Star Wars laser gun rather than something so goofy looking lol.

"More ILM less Ed Wood" refers to Industrial Light and Magic, which was the group founded by George Lucas who was responsible for the amazing effects in the original Star Wars Trilogy (among other things), and Ed Wood, who was a notoriously bad Director who mostly worked in the 50s earnestly writing and producing some of the worst films ever made (that then went on to become cult classics, because they're basically 'so bad they're good' films). The little meanies are basically saying they were hoping for something that looked like Star Wars levels of awesome, and inside they got something that looked worse than a B grade 1950s movie. And man did I just overexplain all of that. LOL

Okay, I adore you Lexi. The choice of starting your narrated intro with the floating balls/eyes, like you're invisible Buffy was fucking brilliant. :)

Near the start of the episode Spike comments on how he likes Buffy's hair. So she cuts it off. Their relationship really is toxic, from both sides. That social services person really jumped to conclusions after one very short visit - but I don't think she deserved what Buffy did to her.

In a world where there are demon karaoke bars, you would think there would be a couple of therapists who are aware of the mystical that Buffy could get some counseling from, because this poor girl has been in desperate need of therapy since the end of season one. Maybe even before that.

The scene when Xander walks in on Spike and Buffy and Spike says he's exercising... I just lose it and go into a fit of laughter every time. It's definitely one of my favorite comedic moments of the show.

It's always worth remembering that Buffy says that she doesn't want to die anymore, which is a very important step in her journey. However, not wanting to die is not the same as wanting to live, and Buffy isn't to that point just yet.
