My glorious Buffy rewatch...
So, I spent last evening eating ice-cream and sandwiches and watching s2 of Buffy.
Specifically 'School Hard'(2.3) and 'Inca Mummy Girl' (2.4)
SCHOOL HARD:
This is one of my fave eps from S2.
EEEE! First appearance of Spike. Who also doesn't sparkle, SMeyer. I hope you take note.
And Dru. Oh, how I used to love Spike/Dru. Srt of like a twisted/insane mirror to Buffy/Angel. Spike might be soulless and evil and delight in torture and murder but he worships the ground Dru walks on.
They are so funny, so off-kilter, so mocking. Much more fun than the Annoying One (heeee).
Though with all my Spike love, I have to say James Marsters' English accent is not really spot on yet. Not as bad as Angel's Irish accent but that's in a class of its own.
Other things: I love Joyce in this one. She wasn't a bad parent, generally.
Also love Angel snarking at Xander. While Angel was never the life of the party, before he had his little Angelus-again stint and reverted to 'I am going to dig my self-loathing pit and engage in my favorite passtime of blaming self for things not in my control' he could be sarcastic or cranky at Buffy or whatever. But I suppose since all these are signs of self-esteem...
Buffy so rocks in this ep. LOVE.
INCA MUMMY GIRL
Not an ep to remember and with plot logic holes a mile wide (yes, I am commenting on plot logic in a story about the undead) but OMG first appearance of OZZZZZZZZZ!
*squeals like a fangirl*
Much as I adore the vamps and all, Oz is the only male in the whole run of the show I'd want to date myself.
The eps coming after these are some of my faves. Oh, and just realized. BtVS S2 dvds were the first ones I ever bought...

Angel and Xander interaction was always a plus during the first three seasons of the show. I loved whenever Angel got snarky with someone, because. . . it made him seem human.
And Oz! I loved Oz! He was just this little quirky man who was beyond cool. I remember being so upset when the writers had Willow cheat with Xander. Because while Xander was sweet and dorky. . . Oz was Oz.
I loved the high school years of Buffy; before Buffy (the character) started pissing me off and before the plots started pissing me off. I have to ask: did you watch Angel? I find that I enjoyed the first two seasons, but felt it started going down hill after that; especially when the gang with to Wolfram and Hart.

did you watch Angel?
Not really. I saw the crossovers with BtVS, of course, but I think I was scared away from the show in general because the first time I really attempted to watch it was during the Connor-Cordelia thing, and that was enough to scare anyone off for life.
