2.03 : School Hard

Buffy has enough to worry about on parent-teacher night, without the interference of the new vampire in town, two-time slayer killer Spike.

 

[Highlander II]

i like this ep -

Buffy covers for the 'other' bad element in the school - dunno whether this is so she (Buffy) doesn't get into trouble, or b/c she doesn't want the other girl in more trouble, i don't know --

then, of course - there's the intro of Spike and Dru --- and they are just too much fun!

 

[Analise]

egads, spike and dru were just so _perfect_ in this ep.

And the end with the Anointed one was just great.

 

[Highlander II]

yeah - the end of the annoying one was definitely a good move!

 

[markpud]

def a classic

The intro of Spike and Dru, Spike and Angel's relationship revealed, and Spike vs Buffy round 1 - the winner, Joyce

Signalled that this season was going to be quite different from the prev one, in terms of tone, none of the masters mystical power here, just sheer force and a smart tongue

 

[Highlander II]

oh yeah -- still really liking the season 2 bit -- season 1 was good - but a bit too campy for me --


season 2 - just rearing to go --

(and i'm impatiently waiting for my season 2 DVDs - they don't even release until June )

You need multi-region.. we'll have S4 next month... just to rub it in

 

[Highlander II]

you do know i have to hurt you now, right?

and YES - i do need a multi-region DVD player -- would you like to buy me one? <looks around> guess not -- so, i'm stuck w/ my region 1 DVD player and waiting -- which sucks - but anyway --


so - what else about "School Hard"?

oh - yes - the infamous line by Spike: "You were my sire!" (or is is 'you were my sire, man' - something like that)

which - to this day still sparks debates and discussion ---

"you were my sire, man. My yoda"...

(vamps to find some time to go to the movies inbetween their killing sprees then)

I guess it could be interpreted that Spike saw Angel as his teacher as he trained him after Dru turned him, as she wouldn't have been much of a teacher unless he wanted to learn how to be nuts...

 

[Highlander II]

ooh - is that a Joss Whedon thing, or is that your interpretation?

that's probably the best one i've heard to 'explain' -->

spoiler for "Fool For Love"

Spoiler

why in FFL Dru sires Spike, but he had called Angel his sire way back in School Hard

well done, mark!
