Buffy Season One Episode Six

[koganbot]

This was the hyena episode. Thought the first half worked very well, with the cool guys walking the line between being normal bullies and being ferocious beasts. Something of a star turn for Nicholas Brandon; he gets to use his dark good looks for actual darkness. Ramps up the latent confidence that you know is in Xander if he's only able to access it. Also gives a sense of why Xander might not want to access it, why he might not want to be a handsome swaggering teen. Episode gets less interesting as the smirking teens become merely hungry animals, but that is what has to happen, I suppose.
