Same here, that character never worked for me, in any of her incarnations... That episode also has a shot I think is very basic, and lets the whole episode down.

What I DO like about Anne/Lilly is that she adds so much to the continuity of the show THAT ONLY WE VIEWERS KNOW ABOUT. At the end of the episode "Anne", Lilly adopts Buffy's middle name and becomes Anne. By the time Angel meets her in L.A. she is such a different person (as a direct result of her interaction with Buffy) that Angel doesn't even recognize her from when he first met her in Sunnydale (in "Lie to Me"). Also, Angel doesn't know that she ever even met Buffy or that the source of her name is the love of his life - but we the viewers know. I was sitting there telling Angel (through the tv screen) "Hey, did you know she got her name from Buffy?". Plus, there's the whole connection between Anne and Gunn that pre-dated the Angel-Gunn meeting.

I think that Anne is great, maybe not solely as a character, but as one of Joss' famous devices for linking other characters and episodes together.

All those things are great as you mention. And does give the regular viewer something a little bit extra to sink our teeth into, but it just didn't work for me in this case.

Doppleganger!!! Another 10 out of 10! Perfect follow up to the Wish. Willow says she can't kill her, then sends her back to just the right moment! I almost peed my kilt! And again in Enemies!!! When Angel said, "Second best", I almost yelled 'Yeah, baby!' at the screen! That one I didn't expect.
5 more eps to go before I have to make myself a little poorer (but a LOT more entertained) again.
I only wish my wife would watch with me, but demons and vampires give her serious nightmares. Oh well, say la vee.

So far, season 1 was good.
Season 2 had Passion, and it was better by far than 1, but I was still just liking it.
Season 3 kicks demon ass! The only ep I thought was a little weak was Dead Man's Party- all the rest are SHINY!
I got S3 for $40 used, now if I can luck-out some more like that....
Later, batmarlowe

Oh yes...season 4 upcoming! That means you get to experience "Hush" soon! Plus, if you like Xander, one of his funniest scenes in the entire show is in season 4...Whoa...Almost let something slip there...

What did you think of Wesley, by the way?

Kaylee: "What's so damn important about being proper? It don't mean nothing out here in the black."
Simon: "It means more out here. It's all I have..."

That made me LOL. My wife walks by, I have the headphones on, and I'm laughing in a silent living room. It must've looked strange. She must think I'm nuts, sometimes. It's the same when I watch Army Of Darkness.
Hey, does Xander remind you of a more timid version of Ash? I just thought of that.

Listen up you primitive screwheads Chrisisall

Ash wasn't always the go getter he ends up being! But, Nicholas Brendan and Bruce Campbell do share a resemblance. Nick could be Bruce's younger brother...I always said that if they remade those movies...that would be the way to go. Then again, leave well enough alone, I say!

I like him, sorta. I think once he gets a little more experience in the field, he'll be okay. Of course, he's a stiffer, younger Giles.
Why *he asks in a psuedo-unknowing manner*, does he continue into season 4?

Oh! You mean "Gimme some sugar, baby."

Do you think Joss was at all influenced by the Evil Dead flicks?

We can take 'em, with science Chrisisall

I think I can tell you that Wesley does not continue on Buffy without spoiling anything...He shifted over to Angel...but the circumstances surrounding his joining the team over there are bound to make your jaw drop, if ever you see it.

I don't think Joss was influenced by the Evil Dead movies, stylistically, but there's a sharpness of dialogue there that can't be denied. Plus, the idea of mixing humor while fighting grotesque monsters is there in spades. However, Evil Dead is decidedly non feminist, as all the women in the trilogy (save one) are evil at one point or another. I think this is why I prefer the first one to the other two...Ash is a very, very reluctant hero in that one. He's just as scared as the rest of them. This heroic streak doesn't really emerge until part 2. Ash is never really full blown heroic until the end of AOD. In Army of Darkness, women love Ash, and the men all want to be him. He's the hero, bound to save the day, even if he's gets horribly beaten up in the process. I think he eventually becomes what Xander always wanted to be.
