Oh, and, by the way, guys, it’s “In my plan, we are beltless!” A line which, to me, is inherently funnier than “…we aren’t wearing belts.” Of course, it could just be me…
Some other bits I liked:
The introductions to everyone. Especially that Spike came into the screen not wearing a shirt.
The flashbacks from Two to Go. It cracked me up that they didn’t re-shoot Willow’s bits, just Andrew’s, so Willow kept looking in the wrong place and stuff.
The way Andrew said “vampire” all through the show.
The goofy-ass goggles Jonathan and Warren were wearing.
Wood coming this close (but, unfortunately for me, not close enough) to killing Spike.
The creeptastic way that the students turned into Bringers. I didn’t see that coming.
“Scratch his back from his front?”
And, finally, this is what I really liked about this episode, It Was an Episode with a Theme. Wow. Almost like the ones we had in the first four seasons of Buffy. The characters’ issues had metaphoric implications in their external world.
Things I didn’t (like, that is):
The “funny” kid exploding in the hallway. Er, didn’t we establish, in Help, that kids dying in any way was not cool?
The whole “we’ve got a bunch of plotlines that have been laying around for more than a year now, damn, I guess we had better do something about them” vibe I got from the episode. Now, now, a year later, we get Xander and Anya having a conversation?
The meta-reference to First Date. I’m talking about the bit where Andrew is talking to First!Warren and it sounds like Andrew’s conversation with First!Jonathan about Buffy’s underwear. I just found it tiresome.
The stupid gangland in the highschool. Why was this necessary, again?! So that Wood and Spike would be out of the way? Well, er, then, why was it necessary that they were at the school at all? Maybe it was so Andrew could make the joke about the sexual tension?
Did anyone else notice how bad Wood’s stunt “double” was? It’s almost as if ME thought that all bald black men with a white band-aid look the same.
