1.8 I Will Remember You Buffy: "Oh, boy. I was really jonesing for another heartbreaking sewer talk." My fears that Joss Whedon and Company will fall prey to Chris Carter Syndrome are unfounded -- at least so far. Buffy continues to be the best show on the air, and Angel gets better every week. It's sort of like my favorite show just got twice as long and managed to retain its quality while exploring many new directions. I have to add -- breaking Buffy and Angel up was the only thing to do, but I sure do like them together. It was obvious that Angel would have to go back to being a vamp again, but I still wasn't prepared for the end of this episode. Dan said to me at the end, "Geez, how noble can he get?" Poor Angel. Maybe he's deeply into penance right now. Perhaps he has only just started to make amends and wasn't ready for an "out." At least we had the fun of seeing that whole sexy chocolate/peanut butter/ice cream scene. At least Angel gets to remember making love to Buffy until they were numb. It isn't fair, though, that Buffy can't remember it, too -- although I admit it makes sense, because it would be harder for her than for him to remember it and let it go. Bits and pieces: --We saw more of David's bare skin in this episode than ever before. Can't be bad. --The tea and crackers thing was delightful. So was the scene where Angel was raiding the fridge and got yogurt on his nose. --The Oracles under the post office were a new and interesting plot device that we could see again. I'm not all that wild about their blue & gold wallpaper look, though. --Apocalypse. Millennium. End of Days. *yawn* Quotes: Buffy: "I don't need you skulking around, trying to protect me. Unless, of course, I'm in some gigantic fight to the death, which I was last night. That was you, helping me, wasn't it?" Angel: "I was in the neighborhood, skulking." Cordelia: "Oh, they'll be into this for a while. We still have time for a cappuccino and probably the director's cut of Titanic." Angel: "You know, I forgot how good it all tastes when you're alive." Cordelia: "Yeah, and they didn't even have cookie-dough-fudge-mint-chip when you were alive." Angel: "Mmm, I want some. Can you get that?" Cordelia: "It'll go straight to your thighs." Cordelia: "Oh, please! They've got the forbidden love of all time. They have been apart for months. Now he's suddenly human? I'm sure they are down there just having tea and crackers." Cut to Angel and Buffy sitting at opposite sides of his kitchen table. Angel: (pours tea) "Would you like some more?" Buffy: "The perfect yum. This is a dream. You're human for like a minute and already there is cookie-dough-fudge-mint-chip in the fridge." Cordelia: "Oh god, what am I going to do? I'm good for exactly two things: international superstardom, or helping a vampire with a soul to rid the world of evil. That makes for a short but colorful resume." Mohra: "A great darkness is coming." Buffy: "You got that right." Four out of four stakes. What a great episode, Billie |
