But wasn't that all set-up so that when the troll started talking about how the romance between Xander and Anya would never last, Buffy would find the anger and power to really clean his clock (so to speak)? (By the way, I thought his comments on that were kind of out of character, too. But it occurs to me that this may all be set-up for when Buffy has to protect Dawn from Glory. Just as the troll kept getting the best of Buffy until he spoke those "fighting" words, maybe Buffy will find it in herself to really deal with Glory when Dawn is threatened.) Speaking of Dawn, I'd like to make a prediction: She's going to go to the others and ask them what the big secret is, and, of course, they won't know, so they'll all go to Buffy, Giles, and/or Joyce and confront them. (And it probably won't be at the best possible time....) >Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2001 00:29:22 -0600 (CST) >From: allenw >Subject: Re: b/triangle > While I thought that the breakdowns, and Buffy's devotion to the >Xander/Anya relationship, worked semi-adequately on their own >merits to reflect Buffy's emotional state, the best theory I've read so >far is that they were intended as a parody of some of the more rabid >Buffy/Angel relationship fans. That makes sense. (The more rationalizations we can come up with for it, the better we'll be able to accept it, I guess.) Oh! One little question about next week's ANGEL. Does anyone else infer from the preview that Lindsay is now a vampire? Phaedre/Kathleen workshop@burgoyne.com ------------------------------ End of stillpt-digest V3 #6 ***************************
