I really dislike this episode. Sure there are some funny bits (although many of the jokes are _very_ questionable), but other than that there's nothing here but cringe. It stings that one of the few Dawn-focused episodes is this. I mean, what's the message here? That all girls like jocks? That "love" makes you crazy? Not only have we seen that before, it has been handled much better.

The one liners are amazing in this episode - "So, plans after this? Or were you just going to go down to the docks and wait for the fleet to come in?" - also the physical humor of Spike and Zander trying to wrestle away the bazooka. I kind of love this episode. It is different from Bewitched, Bothered, and bewildered since RJ, and seemingly his family, are oblivious to what the jacket does. If I had to give this episode a "message" it would be something along the lines of the jacket being a metaphor for male status in the high school hierarchy - without that status, RJ is entirely unremarkable, and our responses to people sometimes have more to do with that hierarchy telling us how to feel. Maybe? I don't care, I think it's fun.
