Buffy really should have joined the cops like her career test thingy said. Regular income, perfect cover & she would have been such a good cop that awards for bravery & promotions would surely have been a regular thing. It is however completely ridiculous that the Slayer doesn't receive a salary from the council. I guess they want to enforce a dependency on the watcher by paying them instead. Worth noting there are female watchers, before anyone starts throwing around the "M" word... oh wait, too late... It's not the council's fault that Slayer's are girls. As many you know, we'll get to that in time.

You made a really good point about Buffy doing a watcher's job tbh. Like. She's still slaying. She got Giles back on the Water's council as her official watcher. Slayers don't age out of needing a Watcher to do the research work and point her in the right direction, demon-wise. They should have at least sent her a new watcher because it's an official role. Giles wasn't just there was a pseudo-dad and ex-watcher anymore. He actually had a job he was being paid for. Of course the actor went away so they had to write him off, but it's still a good point LOL

Amy makes zero sense this season. Are we actually to believe that when we last saw her in season 3 - in high school - and she accidentally turned herself into a rat she had already had extensive contact with Rack? It's nonsense and the writers don't even care anymore. I think Willow's arc this season is interesting on paper and does actually make sense for her character, but it's dragged down a lot by inconsistencies like this and also by being the most hamfisted, on-the-nose and shallow metaphor I've ever seen. I really wish they had stuck with the "power hungry" angle that was implied earlier in the season and left out the drug angle, because they are doing an absolutely awful job portraying it. If you can't get it right, don't go for it. Also, this episode just sucks. Period.

The scene with Buffy storming into the restaurant yelling it's people is a direct ~rip-off of~ hommage to a very similar scene in Soylent Green. I love how Willow says "You'd better stay away from me." in two completely different ways - and I believed both.

I feel like Xander had a particular relationship dynamic that worked really well with Cordy; he would snipe at her, she would snipe at him, sometimes one would get the upper hand in the snipe-fest, sometimes the other, and it was basically foreplay for both. He seems to have fallen into the same pattern with Anya, but Anya isn't Cordy. Yes, they're both blunt and say what's on their mind, but Cordy is a more calculated sort of "mean girl", while Anya is just very genuinely herself. And she never snipes back at Xander, it's completely one-sided. On top of that, someone on the autism spectrum pointed out in The Body that they relate a lot to Anya and her worldview. If we take that perspective (Anya as someone with some degree of autism), the way Xander and the other Scoobies, especially Willow, treat her is completely unacceptable. Even if she isn't, constantly correcting her in public and in a sarcastic tone, it's just not ok. I'm on Halfrek's side on this one.

I was wondering what was going on with the audio at first. I thought my speakers were going haywire on me. LOL I was relieved when you said "Sorry, I forgot to turn my mic on." haha I am so glad you're enjoying this season so far. I think it has its hits and misses (basically the case with any of the seasons), but I do think it's an underrated season, honestly. I prefer it over season 5. One thing that always cracks me up about this episode is that the Doublemeat Palace logo has its acronym of DMP. The place where I work has the same acronym and all of us employees literally call it DMP. lol

Amy literally drugged Willow. As a recovering addict myself, this really hit me hard. How DARE she?! The council definitely seem very misogynistic.

Manny asking Buffy why she wanted to work there reminds me of my own experience. When I was like 18 I applied for a position at a local grocery store. The manager doing my interview didn't like my answer that I, you know, wanted a job and have an income; and even told me she wasn't going to hire me because of something along the lines of, I didn't have a vision for my future or some such bullshit. About 5, maybe 10 years later, I applied for a different job there; completely different department. The manager for that department was sick, so who does my interview, but the same fucking woman as last time. I think I screwed up some sort of aptitude test, but she also felt the need to bring up the last interview, even though it had been years; and comment that I still didn't have career plans or whatever. 🙄
