Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Not Andrew! Kill it! Kill it!

Andrew is Giles' top man???????????????????????????????? Andrew could be the last man on Earth and wouldn't be top man.

Personally I think the confrontation scene between Angel & company & the Slayers would have played better if they could have had Giles or Buffy there instead, but that would, no doubt, have been an expensive guest shot.

Andrew's changed. I didn't believe it at first, but he is a tougher and smarter Andrew than before.

I think I liked the final conversation between Spike and Angel. It was interesting to say the least.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! Willow and Kennedy are still together. Ah.

Kennedy, they actually bothered to mention Kennedy? She's like the Lola Bunny of the Buffyverse.

Andrew would not be the first man to leave the Hellmouth and stop being a total wuss. Angel, Wes and Spike are all good examples.

Lola Bunny is the peach colored female rabbit Looney Toon who was introduced in Space Jam, and has been included into the Looney Toons Pantheon. The Term would refer to characthers seemlessly intergrated into a pre-existing continuity without any buildup, creative effort or fan support.

It's a shame Buffy never left.

Buffy would end up dating half the cast, and die when used by a Old One as a vessel to re-enter this world. :)

It's mostly because Buffy is a feminist coming of age hero's tale, everyone has to be grossly insecure, all the men or boys as it mey be have to be weak. Angel, on the other hand is the A-Team with monsters, and is about adults seeking redemption. And Fred has nice parents, so these really are two different shows.

I really wish the writer could have found something for Wes to do. He's such a good character, but he's completely underused in this episode - he was always there shuffling papers and listening, but the only good moment was the look he gave Andrew off the comment about Giles.

Shame that we can't see Giles re-meet this new version of Wes who sleeps with the enemy, steals babies, and took only a split-second to decide whether or not to kill his father ...

Still, that was a very good Spike episode, with just the right mixture of true Spike perceptiveness and true Spike "brawl now, ask questions later or never" attitude.

He's grown a lot as a character since crossing over to Angel, but then, everyone has.

NIT: Andrew addresses Wesley as "Pryce". Where would he get that name from? He mentions his information as coming from Giles, who is very proper about such stuff and surely would have referred to Wes as "Wyndham-Pryce". The only person who ever called Wes "Pryce" was one of his employees back when he ran his own shop.
