dangermousieSo, 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...

Also love Angel snarking at Xander.
What amuses me about that is that I think beneath Buffy issues between them, they really did just simply rub each other the wrong way.
