Once again, Joss comes through with the frightening and perverse. I'm referring to, of course, Xander and Cordelia. Could that be a cooler pairing?
On a different note, should I be terrified that Drusilla has her strength back? And why do I get the feeling that she's going to do something to hurt Spike?

She poses no threat to the Spikester.
But keep watching, Spike's journey is (IMHO) the most interesting aspect of Buffy.

Going to hurt him physically? No, have no worries about that...

Don't mind me. I'm hiding from the scary evilness that is Drusilla.
Though I haven't finished the series yet (nor watched Angel), I have to say that Drusilla is one of the most frightening characters I've encountered in the Jossverse. That scene in "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered" with Xander? I'm sure my squeals of terror could be heard a block away.
And I never thought I'd actually say this, but poor Spike. The minute Angel shows up, Drusilla just forgets about him. Never mind the fact that Angel's the one who drove her crazy.
By the way, is it just me, or is Angel waaay shinier now that he's evil? Not that I don't want him back together with Buffy, but you gotta admit, he is pretty cool. You can really tell David's having fun with the part.
The second season has been really great so far. You can see that everyone feels comfortable with their parts, as well as the storylines. Can't wait for my next disc to arrive.
P.S. - Did they ever explain why Drusilla was so weak at first? I know that she was insane because of Angel, but why was she physically weak? Just curious.

Quote:They explain it in “School Hard,” the first ep with Spike & Dru, and then again in “Lie to Me,” but always in an off-hand way. In “School Hard,” the explanation goes something like this:
Did they ever explain why Drusilla was so weak at first? I know that she was insane because of Angel, but why was she physically weak?
DRU: “I miss Prague.”
SPIKE: “You nearly died in Prague. Idiot mob.”
And in “Lie to Me,” Giles identifies Dru in one of his books, but believes she was killed by a mob in Prague. Buffy’s response: “Well, they don’t make mobs like they used to.”
So that’s what left Dru so weak and why Spike brought her to the Hellmouth to recover.
And yes, Angelus is definitely one of the high points of season two--but then there are a lot of high points.

There was a comic book called "Tales of the Vampires", which was made up of several vampire-related stories. I would call it semi-canon, since Joss wrote a few of them, and other Buffy staff writers wrote some as well. There was one written by Drew Goddard (writer for Buffy season 7 and Angel season 5) that was about Spike and Dru in Prague. What happened was that a mob ganged up on Spike and Dru, Spike got staked (they missed the heart) and thrown off a bridge. Dru ended up being taken somewhere and put in a torture chair and then she got slammed with a magical pain whammy.
That might not be the "official" story (there's another one about a post-Chosen Dracula and Xander that probably would never actually happen) but it's a pretty accurate guess I would say.

Quote:Also remember that most (all?) of the TotV stories were narrated by that mean old vampire the Watchers had chained up, talking to a bunch of snot-nosed proto-Watchers. No way of telling what was accurate, what was hearsay and rumour, and what was made up whole cloth to scare the children.

Absolutely. I caught on with the show at first in re-runs (late-'02), and at first, I had no interest in watching Angel (the spinoff, not the character), 'cause David just seemed so boring and one-note as handsome-brooding-vampire guy. Then I saw the S2 eps where he became Angelus, and it was like, 'Yeah, okay, maybe this guy can act, after all.' I started watching Angel the next week...
