After the opening credits, we lose your audio. The episode audio is there, but not your commentary.

This episode is somehow dark and hopeful at the same time.

[The following is what I wrote for Georgia Corsby's reaction.] So we get an alternative universe that is completely undone at the end... but for some reason it is SO satisfying to watch. It's disturbing to see Xander and Angel die right in front of Buffy and she doesn't even bat an eyelash. Anya (or Anyanka) says, "How do you know the other world is better than this one?" and Giles responds "Because it has to be." I find Giles' hope and desperation to be both sad and inspiring. Perhaps this episode is so interesting because it gives us such a clear feeling about how THESE characters lives could have gone completely differently with different circumstances. Buffy is not antisocial like Faith... but she's capable of it. Giles did not actually make the desperate, hopeful decision to destroy the necklace... but he's still capable of it. Xander and Willow are not vampires who are evil... but they are capable of it. In general, a big theme in this episode is "The path not taken". ANY of us under different circumstances could be very different from who we are today. This episode is a reminder of the fragility of our identities and our realities. Things in our lives have happened THIS way... but maybe they didn't HAVE to. What if you had gained or lost the perfect job when you were 22? What if your dad had died in a car accident when you were 12? What if you had met your perfect partner when you were 18? What if you had been seduced by a malignant narcissist who completely destroyed EVERY element of your life throughout the entirety of your 20s? We are not who we are. We are existing only as ONE PARTICULAR version of ourselves. Under different circumstances, we could be so different to the extent that we were a completely different person. I'm not sure I've ever seen an alternative reality be undone... and yet still be completely relevant by revealing aspects of the characters. On the other hand. Cool fights! Everybody dies! So exciting! [BTW. I misspelled "necklace" as "neckless"... which I thought was hilarious. All typos and mistakes that are funny... should be shared.]

About the master, it would not be strange if he just lied about him not being able to rise if she did not come.

The way I understood it was that there's all these worlds that were 'naturally' possible, if the characters had made slightly different choices. Maybe in all the 'naturally' possible worlds, Buffy's presence allows the Master to escape. This isn't a naturally possible world, it required magic to make it.

It's amazing how fully textured and well-realized this alternate universe is. The world building is incredible. I loved this episode
