| A new man An episode about Giles dealing (or not dealing) with being a retired librarian and having to deal with the fact that maybe Buffy doesn’t really need him (as he is the last one to know about riley being part of the initiative). We also see an other part of himself (the drunk side was kind of shown in the dark age): maybe the demon curse was a way to show Giles inner demon on the screen (someone that no one would recognise, acting completely differently than the person everyone know, someone even his friend would be a scared of. And it’s great to have giles on the front line after spending so much time in the background (without much to do) and it gave us an amusing, entertaining episode and a new side of giles character. The best bit being demon giles running after walsh (just after telling spike that he can’t/won’t let his dark feeling overtaking him). I also like ethan ranting about going after giles and being caught because giles thought he heard something. And then the two best enemies go to the pub to have a drink. Ethan is once again fantastic but his arrest don’t really gave a great conclusion to his character. Not the best of riley: comparing buffy to spider man, being out of the loop about buffy surprise party (you have to love his face when he walks in the room with his crossbow and trying to hide it), we finally learn how many demons/vampires the big bad marines had dealt with (just wonder how long he has been doing that job?), funny for a guy who have the key of all the shops in sunnydale, access the 911 call, can hack the hotels’s register and can sent ethan raynes to aera 51 with a phone call. A short but interesting rose scene between willow and tara: there is more between these two that we actually see (mostly due to willow actions: lying to buffy about her whereabout for one thing) And well there is more about the initiative that we know about: due to the last image of the episode: walsh entering the room 314, something raynes was saying the demons were afraid of. |
