The one where the robot girl looks for Warren.

:yawn:


















ok there is one or two scenes worth a developped review, i will come back with more :rolleyes:

i suppose the writers (or joss) wanted a funny/light plot before the emotional episode that follow but that doesn't excuse how (too)silly/boring the episode is

he does introduce warren (that buffy should have punched so much he is unable to understand what he did wrong and how little respect he show to katrina) and his capacity to create robot human look alike (something spike is happily taking advantage of)

once again, buffy show her attraction to the wrong guys: ben but finally turn their date off (to the shock of glory :lol: ). still like xander/buffy talk at the end

the two fantastics scene between the summers girls, first the daughters having fun at their mother date and then joyce teasing buffy about it. the writers probably wanted to give a bigger shock to the audience with that painful and devastating ending (cliffanger?)

I have not managed to watch this yet due to the new job but I noticed this review and I felt I had to say something as I feel prophecy girl is missing the point.

Allegedly Britney Spears was supposed to be the guest star here and that is a massive clue. If you bought her album Baby One More Time, like I did, you will know one of the tracks on that album is Born To Make You Happy so geddit I Was Made To Love You=Born To Make You Happy. That track and the whole album is utterly sweet but it is as conservative as something like Dolly Parton and country music ie the woman is utterly subservient to the man and dependent on him for feelings of self-esteem. Britney rectified that attitude to some extent in her follow up album with tracks like Stronger which have more of a 'girl power' feel to them.

Jane Espenson is clearly repelled by the 'fawning' even 'servile' song titles and lyrics of Britney Spears and so delivers a Buffy Stepford Wives as a kind of feminist counterblast. Jane is saying to girls that "you do not want to be like this do you?". Also there is a more subtle message for the boys, which I think is highly effective, namely that a real relationship with all its attendant trials and tribulations is what is ultimately satisfying. Jane is rather cleverly saying boys want feminism too where a girl is a fully realised individual rather some kind of sex toy close to the film Weird Science. This is born out in the story where Warren has deep feelings and is hurt by the rejection through being so shallow though I cannot recall the exact plot points from memory. sk

i heard of the rumor about the possibility of britney playing the role of the robot :o :fear: but i didn't know it was in connection to her songs :rolleyes:
