In some areas it will apear later. So if you don't see it at your normal time check the schedule to see if it's on later. Like in my case it was nocked back 4 hours for a basketball game.

D'oh, sucks when shows are pre-empted by sporting events. Hopefully nobody will be forced to catch it on the weekend or anything. :-|
Sneaky McSneakerson's white text below, highlight it to read it (spoilers of course) Wow wow wow. This episode primarily serves to further the ongoing plot of the season (linking episode) but has a lot of great stuff within. Some more SITs show up but they don't seem to have a whole lot of character yet outside of Kennedy. If they do try to spin-off the series with a new character it looks like Kennedy is the likely choice (although Dawn still gets my vote). Hmmm, so the Ubervamp can be toasted by decapitation. I guess that even if he didn't get dusted there's not a lot a vampire head could do without some assistance. The idea of the core gang planning this out was really nice. I'm not big on the use of telepathy, but the way they played the scene the first time and then replayed it to show what really happened was nicely done. It's good to see Willow and Xander taking something of leadership roles now. This fight sequence was much cooler than the previous showdown with the Ubervamp, thanks in large part to the setting. If it was Thunderdome where were all the weapons hanging from the cage?  The part that I really loved about this episode was the consequences still being felt from S6. Now we learn that resurrecting Buffy had consequences far more severe than we could have expected. Will Giles and Anya relay this matter to the rest of the group or leave it a secret? Other randomy thoughts: -I liked the bit with the demon eye. Reminded me of old British sci-fi shows. -Dawn seems resentful of the SITs. It'll be interesting to see where this ends up. -Glad to see the SIT leaving last episode wasn't forgotten about and we got a bit of an explanation. -TIMOTHY DALTON! -It's fun having Andrew around to translate all this other dialogue for me in a comprehenisble manner. -Spike is rescued but what state is his mind in? How will the SITs take to him? Will they spare us more Buffy/Spike "I love you but I don't" stuff? -Still no physical contact from Giles, but I don't think he is bad guy Giles. If he was than why would he help Anya find this major clue about the slayer lineage? -Speaking of the lineage, can it be restored? Would Buffy's death satisfy the powers that be into making things right again? Is the line forever disrupted? Maybe they can just let Faith get shanked by her cellmate and everything will be ok. (Sorry Faith fans  )end spoilage Do you know that in tennis when you have no points it's called love? I've been thinking about this. Nothing is nothing."

oh wow....that was a good ep, definately worth the wait.
im startin tol ike the slayee trainin idea more and more. its like the x-men and new mutants. yeah i say! and im fallin in love with andrew. "episode 1 bored" hehe. good geek! anya is hilarious as always. loved her scenes with giles. kennedy is cool. shed be a good slayer, and the character is really sympathetic. very mature and forward. she reminds me of what was her name...michelle moonstar. ehem..geek speech. she was from the new mutants and somewhat more mature than the rest, apart from the whole demon bear issue...geek speech aside again. but yeah....the slayees are well potrayed. unprepared, terrified, teens who have to face somethin way over there heads. the first is really skanky evil. sneakin in and spreadin fear and mistrust. well done first. and finally the uebervamp was killed...what a beasty beast. reminded me much of the rocky 2 fight, i just waited for buffy to yell "adriennnnnneeeee!!!!". i wonder who did the telepathic thingie ?did buffy iniciate it ? was it willow ? hm.... and whoaa....yeah yeah messin with dead people never good. wonder where this will head...i dont wanna know. oh and buffy freein spoik was teary. no i dont cry, but it was really emotional. well done scene. im glad hell be back in action, and hopefully theyll hand him a shirt (hears the outcry of the female spoik slaves all over the planet, over him being freed and soon to be dressed)anyway. i highly enjoyed it, and i bet my neighbours, too. *cuddles the dolby system* gotta rewatch soon with sissi. 2 thumps up for the ep!

Haven't been around in a bit, but have a couple random moments.
prolly should be considered spoilery (highlight to read): ~ wow ~ Doby:maybe telepathy initiation was Willow? -> dialogue flashback "just thing really loud, I'll hear you" -> that and Buffy had to ask if Willow could hear her so she had to be thinking really loud! ~ geez Kennedy is hot! If Willow doesn't want her, I've got dibs!! ~ loved this part!!!!!!! "What does evil taste like?" "A little chalky" ~ ubervamp heart maybe not in chest? (I'm thinking somewhere lower.) ~ just checking but did anyone think the appendage with the eyeballs looked like a monster from the sixth season??

Kennedy is hot, i agree. But i really miss Tara...I dont think she should be rushing into a relationship so fast. I mean, willow still hasnt offically grieved. I dont know...but i am looking for to seeing Buffy kill the ubervamp. Hes so annoying!

Mild Willow/Kennedy
s p o i l e r s Well, at this point Willow certainly isn't rushing into anything. It could even be possible that Kennedy is just a red herring. It is certain that Kennedy is very into Willow, but so far Willow seems disconcerted by Kennedy's flirting. e n d spoilers Do you know that in tennis when you have no points it's called love?

Dont worry about it, lately we've started posting spoiler space in this section before eps are officially aired just to make sure nobody inadvertantly finds out anything before airdate. I was thinking it was spoilers for "Showtime" rather than an advance spoiler, but that was my own fallacy. No big sweat, no harm, no foul.

I liked that ep
it was thrilling, scary, interesting and very cool  and Buffy killing the lilVamp was soooo ....funny *lol* "here, lessons over...." nice ep.....cant hardly wait for the next..... Franca P.S. as much as I miss Tara (*sniff*) I like the idea of Kennedy and Willow  EVE: She wants to kill Gurkhan. For you or me that might have been an interesting challenge at one time, but for her..."
XENA: "Its a suicide mission." EVE: "She doesnt have what it takes to kill in cold blood ... Do you think I inherited that talent from you mother?" .... |

Marry me, Kennedy! I'm SO starting to fall in love with this character... She's a rocking mix between Buffy, Faith and Tara. I didn't think this was possible until I saw these last eps.
I bet she's gonna make our Will very happy, if they do end up together.  Drop - please call Joss and tell him to go for KtVS. Also - Aaaaaaaaandreeeeeeeeeew!!!!!!!!

I dont have a problem with Kennedy, i just dont know if shes right for Willow. I think Buffy is more for Willow, than Kennedy.

Spoilers below for those who haven't seen this episode yet...
Hmmm...first time I watched this, I liked it, but I just finished re-watching it, and didn't care for it much. I didn't like Dawn much in this episode. I don't know why, exactly. I love Kennedy! She's exactly the kind of character the show needs. Here's hoping her and Willow get together! I've noticed that there seems to be something going on with new actors on the show and the Disney channel...Iyari Limon was in a disney TV movie, so was Clara Bryant, only in a different one, and the girl who played Chloe was Miranda in Lizzie Mcguire(sp?).

i hope willow will dew whatll make her happy. on the other hand...happy people in buffyland have a hard time...they tend to die and stuff. ok...go away kennedy!
i think its relative to say wether nuff time has passed for willow, since taras death, to consider a new relationship or not. i personally dont really care that much what shell dew concernin this. to me its more important that willow achieves to manage her issues. and if she gets into a relationship with kennedy, and wont f*** it up, like she did with tara, yeah i would say. if tara was still alive though, who knows. maybe that relationship would have worked out again, but maybe not.

Doby: close, but not quite a cigar there... the character's name was Danielle, not Michelle... yer not the only geek who read the New Mutants ;)
I'm thinkin... when the big ol' eye thingie (geek alert again... was anyone one else thinking "Beholder on Crack?" or was it just me?)... referred to the Slayer, I just have this feeling it wasn't referring to a certain blonde... I'm fairly certain that another Faith reference wasn't coincidence... I mean, as far as we know, when Buffy dies/get's killed, another Slayer won't be called to take her place... she's not the "active" Slayer any more... Anyone else wondering what Faith's been up to the past year and a half or so? ---Phrogie |
