Well, your reaction to seeing Faith was different than mine. Of course you knew she was coming to Sunnydale, so you were definitely excited to see her. I had not yet started watching Angel ( only on dvd), so seeing her show up was a pleasant surprise for me.

You're little overhead captions on your thumbnails always make me smile

Loved your enthusiasm over Faith, Lexi. It's so fun to have her back and all the Faith scenes were amazing. The meeting with Spike and Buffy at the cemetary, Andrew's hilarious recap (including Faith the Vulcan-killer), Buffy and Faith bonding. And that scene with Faith and Spike in the basement had chemistry you could cut with a knife. The early talks about a possible Faith spin-off had Spike in it. Sad we never got to see it. But I understand Eliza, she thought it was impossible to fill Buffy's shoes so she signed on to do Tru Calling instead. The ending of this episode is just horrible. That Firefly-er that just flew in is just as creepy as Gina Torres over at Angels...

This was my introduction to Nathan Fillion. For some reason, even though he's from Canada and this is not his natural accent, I can't not think of him talking this way; and I feel like it's sort of imprinted on my brain, like I anticipate a subtle hint of it in everything else I see him in, even though it's obviously not going to be there. It might be a little bit similar to James Marsters or Alxis Denisof, because it's super surreal hearing either of them without an English accent.

There's always something that amuses me about Spike's line describing the evil vineyard being "like Falcon Crest" - which for the uninitiated was a prime time/evening soap opera, essentially, set in a vineyard back in the 80s. It was the peak of 80s gaudy materialism; and I guess I find it funny to think Spike probably watched is, compounded by it being dated reference even when this episode originally aired, showing that Spike is an old fart who has always like cheesy soap operas.

When you were pleading for Faith not to get killed, I was really hoping you would say something accidentally prescient, like, "I would sacrifice Xander's left eye, if Faith lives." What? Too soon?

I'm curious about your comment that you didn't understand something about the Cain and Abel reference. Was it that you don't know who Cain and Abel are or why Caleb didn't want to speak ill of Cain?

When you're done watching Buffy, PLEASE read the fanfic called simply "VII" which rewrites this season in one specific way. I cried several times throughout and you will too!

The knife that woman in prison used to attack Faith was actually the same as the one used by the bringers to kill the potentials at the start of the season - an early hint that the shows were being connected. Buffy and Faith were great enemies back in season 3, but they're even better as friends - or as close to friends as they can be I suppose. I guess Buffy didn't get her stapler back from Caleb.

Joss does like his foreshadowing Xander (in this episode): Go for the center— brains, heart, eyes. Everything's got eyes. Also Xander in SameTime, Same Place, after Buffy kills Gnarl by poking its eyes out: Ew. Ew. Thumbs? I can't believe you did that.

Interesting observation, which never stood out until watching this reaction; when Buffy is talking to Robin, he tells her, "Then, I guess, maybe you should test them." Buffy was reluctant to lead the Potentials into a truly dangerous situation, and here it's Robin giving her the push to do just that, only for it to end as bad as it could. Question is, would Buffy have been so keen on taking the fight to Caleb if not for that discussion with Robin? Your reaction to the Potential is spot on and one of the issues I kind of take with the direction this season takes when the Potentials arrive. There are too fucking many of them, most don't get proper development; and who gives a shit if or when one of them dies? In contrast to Xander getting his eye gouged out; as much as I don't like Xander, that scene is much more effective and unsettling and it has a lot to do with Xander being an established and semi-fleshed out character.

I'm not opposed to Faith and Spike; I'm not sure it necessarily has a huge following, but I'm here for it. Especially if it means no Buffy and Spike. But really, I still prefer Faith and Buffy, at least as Faith's OTP. Though I remain a die-hard Buffy/Angel shipper...

God, I love that Faith/Spike/Buffy scene. Nothing will ever top Spuffy, but Buffy has two hands for a reason 😌

mary smith

I'll Raise you a Buffy & Faith ship to your faith & Spike. Faith definitely fits buffy's type: dark, supernatural reclamation projects in need of redemption with a pinch of snark. Bonus with her being human. Lol

Ron Fehr

Weighing in with my two cents worth. I prefer these people remain just friends.

Britney

Yay, Caleb has arrived! He's absolutely vile and evil, but I still very much enjoy him as a character for the entertainment factor. Also, yay that Faith is back in Sunnydale!

Ron Fehr

Caleb was not necessarily accurate when it came to the story of the first sin. The humans were forbidden from eating the fruit of a certain tree, but it is not specified which fruit.

Ron Fehr

When Shannon, the Potential that Caleb threw out of the truck, was talking to Buffy and Willow, she removed her bandage on her neck. You were wondering what that was. Well, it was from the ring on Caleb's finger. His truck still had a lighter unit installed in it. He plugged it in, and when it popped out, he heated up his ring with it, just before branding Shannon's neck.

chelsea

it was unfortunately so important for xander to get hurt in a way he couldn’t recover from because all of the casualties this season have been potentials. they needed to pretty viscerally remind us that it’s the last season… and nobody is safe.

Ron Fehr

Caleb's reference to Cain and Abel was merely a comparison of good and evil, Faith being the one who got a taste of being evil. And of course Caleb prefers evil, which is why he said "no offense to Cain."

esme

i think it was less about "finally getting a win" and more about it being her only option to fight them. this is quite literally the only weak spot she could take a stab at and she was pretty prepared imo it makes sense she thought she could at least hold him off long enough to find out what he had of hers. giles tells her over and over to be a general yet when she acts like one he undermines her like she hasn't been the brain of the operations since he left her and also many many times before that. see the million times buffy realized what was happening and giles treated her like a dumb little girl; teacher's pet, the pack, the puppet show, living conditions, doomed, probs more im not remembering... the literal first thing he wants her to know how to do is sense the supernatural but when she does he just blows her off

I’m just now getting a chance to watch this, but that thumbnail… “eye…” No, you didn’t! Too soon! 🤣🤣🤣

That beginning scene with Xander sexy dreaming about the potentials really creeps me out tbh. Xander fetishizes slayers, always has, and these girls are TEENAGERS. Most of them are Dawn's age. That girl in the beginning even says "I'm so young" and the way she pouts it in his bed, you know it's supposed to be a turn-on. I gag every time. Kennedy is the oldest potential and she's still younger than Willow cause she's supposed to be 19. I don't remember that potential's name either, but she was one of the original potentials to show up which sucks pretty hard for Buffy. With everyone having been against the plan initially, now they are all furious cause so many are injured or dead. Buffy leaves the house cause she can't stand the disgusted and betrayed stares from everyone. Faith and Dawn have never technically met, but in her memories, she would have kidnapped Dawn along with Joyce back in season 4 before the body swap. She probably also said things to Dawn as Buffy. (Plus when she was good for those few episodes in season 3 and was over at Buffy's house for dinner and Christmas) Faith's chemistry with everyone is wild. Eliza Dushku is such a good actress.
