There was a whole other (and VERY BIG) story happening for Buffy and co. but it took a backseat to Xander's tale. It was about time he had his own show! I can't believe I didn't watch this when it was on TV!!! And the look on Cordellia's face at the end was perfect.
Aside from Firefly, and a few Dark Angel episodes, TV doesn't get any better than this (or does it? I'm only 2/3 thru S3 now ).

Consistantly amazed Chrisisall

I've posted on this episode before and how it bucks the A,B,C storyline convention that's in most one hour shows. This is one of my favorite episodes of Buffy not just for that reason, but for just how well Nicholas Brendan portrays this character. Everyone's felt left out of a group from time to time. And this was shown to great effect in this show. I especially like the overblown romantic scene between Buffy and Angel that Xander interrupts. The B storylive taking the front seat was great...Frankly, if the episode had been about what was going on with the Hellmouth, I would have been wondering, Where's Xander?

I love Xandercentric episodes...more so before Anya shows up.

I guess I'd have to say Xander's my favourite character, but I like 'em all.
In Zeppo, he gets all the great lines, and he gets Faith!! While it was happening, I thought they were gonna make it a dream or something, but COOL, it really happened!
Too bad Xander didn't get a spin off.
'The Xander Files' woulda rocked.

Faith is hot Chrisisall

Great Ep. Plus it has my favorite Xander line. I just love the way he delivers it.

Of the most memorable lines in the show, the ones I think are the funniest always come from Xander...and Giles, oddly enough.

In the second season...Giles, Buffy, Cordelia, and Jenny are walking and talking. Xander's whole side of the conversation was so funny...and the way that boring exposition scene is editted.."How come she didn't get a snotty...""Watcher's Pet!" And then the scene ends! An exposition scene that ends with a really funny joke! Sweet!

Giles to Spike: "When I want your opinion Spike...Well, I'll never want your opinion."

Xander in season three. The "Oh yes, its time will come" diatribe about retorting to Cordelia. The way he just goes back to speaking conversationally after that dramatic speech cracks me up.

Xander in season 4: "Nothing can defeat the penis!"

And many others! The only Xandercentric episodes I don't care for are Teacher's Pet and Incan Mummy Girl...and even they have their moments.

It's pretty much all downhill from here in terms of screen time for Xander, poor character :(

Hey Chrisisall.

This was the episode I really wanted you to see. It is a classic episode. I remember when I saw this I felt a Xander spin-off would be so much fun.

The scene when he's questioning one of the dead guys by clasping him to the side of his car, and he accidentally knocks the guys head off with the mail box!!!!! Man did I find that funny! Absolutely hilarious! Great TV!

So glad you liked it. It's up there as one of my favourite episodes of Buffy.

Cool

SO glad you're enjoying Buffy. We warned you you'd get hooked! If any show was ever deserving of a viewer's time and fandom, it's this one. Don't stop, the ride just keeps getting better!

Season 3 is my favorite, by the way.

More to come, I'm sure. Bad Girls was good too.
Wish totally freaked me out- it was told from Cordelia's POV, then SHE gets killed!! That reality would've remained permanent if not for Giles. Head trip.

All good choices bud, except I never liked 'Anne'. But the 'Wish' is great. In fact that whole notion could've been a wider arc that maybe spanned over four or five episodes.... But still there's more than enough great stuff in Season 3.
