erilyn | Joss..you...you...magnificent bastard

Sorry to mis-use Papa Luthor's title, but Joss Whedon has reclaimed his god-like status, at least for now. "Once More With Feeling" rocked, and not just in the musical sense.

However, I thought that it was an extra-long ep in the US, and we were going to get a slightly cut version, but I've read the TWoP recap and the lyrics, and as far as I can tell, we saw it all. Cool.

- They should have had ASH sing more.
- The Anya and Xander duet was the most I've enjoyed them in ages.
- I'm glad Alyson Hannigan didn't sing more than she did, as her voice seemed to be the weakest out of all of them.
- Amber Benson did great, both with the singing, and Tara finding out of what Willow has done to her.
- There were some great one-liners, like "Dawn's in trouble. Must be Tuesday."
- The reaction to Buffy revealing that they didn't save her from hell was ok, except that I said "sucked in bitch" when they showed Willow's heartbroken face. I have Willow issues.
- Buffy and Spike. Poor Spike, she's just going to use you to try and find some passion. Still not all the invested in them as a pairing, but am willing to watch and see how badly this will turn out. Plus, lots of James Masters is a good thing.
- The singing Mutant Enemy logo nearly killed me.
