koganbotPretty good end of the season, even if they had to rumble across never-ending plotholes to get there.
Xander/Brendon and Buffy/Gellar come through on their difficult scene together. Xander rises to the occasion by not being bullshit, Buffy is equally not bullshit, Xander then convincingly and understandably reverts to childishness and is unconsciously hard on Willow, who's got her own issues...
Over twelve episodes, the show is consistently moving and witty, surprisingly so given its inadequate conception and un-thought-through world. Acting and dialogue get it across, and probably a whole lot about the staging and costuming as well, stuff that I don't notice when I'm just watching, just as I don't tend to notice sentence structure when I'm reading or chord intervals when I'm listening. Unfortunately, I won't get in many second viewings before the set is due at the library and I go to Connecticut for a week.
