I just rewatched the episode wherein Cordi wished that Buffy had never come to Sunnydale.

I hadn't noticed that the same "Bored now" comment Willow gave Warren when she flayed him was what Vamp Willow said to Cordelia when Vamp Xander was going to eat the prom queen.

That's what I like - the teensy touches that mean so much. Right before they flay or eat you.

Yep, I liked that myself. Also nice Willow mentioned vamp Willow seemed kind of gay. A couple of seasons later, Willow is gay. As you say, these kinds of references are just awesome.

I hope you like Guinness, sir. I find it a refreshing substitute for . . . food.

I love "bored now" :) teeheehee...

on the gay thing, the joke was continued in season 6's tabula rasa. memory-wiped willow says "and i think i'm kinda gay" just like in the wish. fun stuff:)

I also liked when Willow said "I think I did pretty well" or something to that effect, in the EP where Xander got split in two and one of them is wigged out about it and says something like "Wait til you meet an evil copy of you and see how you handle it".

that's the moments where you just have to smile. he's forgotten about it at the moment but Willow has not and we have neither.

...and "bored now" is so cool a quote. I think I have to put that in a sig somewhere. I can actually hear her say it whenever I read it. Willow is the cutest even when she's evil.

'Bored now' is Willows inner self screaming for love. It signifies her shell like existance in spite of her growth as a woman. When Willow forgets what a special person she is she can be very self-destructive. She regresses into that little schoolgirl who is 'bored' (a passive aggressive responce) with the world around her.

It also shows that Willow has a deep emptyness that can come out in irrational violence. Veins and all.

I also like in season seven when Buffy has to kill Anya and reminds Willow that she told her to "kick his ass" during "Becoming, part 2" in second season, only it was Xander who told her Willow said that when she never did. And when Willow objected to Buffy's comment, Xander cut Willow off so Buffy would never find out what he did. That's a really long memory on that reference.

^^^ Brill! YOU are a good viewer. PAying attention to the continuity. Not just within the show itself, but continuity over 6 seasons. SIX! Frellin' amazing moment there. Glad you mentioned it!

Willow: "I never said that..."
And Xander cuts here off.

And as we all know, the signifigance was that Xander wanted Angel gone (Xander always hated Angel, soul or not) and so lied to Buffy that Willow could get Angels' soul back in time (with a spell).

All the characters acting just as they should despite the consequences. Truely granite hard characterization. Really, really, brill stuff. So good. Makes ER look like an afternoon soap. Wow. *gush*... ok, I'll stop lovin' the Joss writing. Hell no! I just can't! It's too great!!!

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who said "AHAH! Xander is busted ... finally ..." only to see it go by.

There are many examples of it throughout the Buffy 'verse. Canon was always respected, gotta respect that in your basic demons.

^^^ it's continuity. Canon is something Star Trek nerds use to nail down detailed timelines and tech evolution, etc. Which is great fun if you're an aspiring engineer. It's not important to story telling as long as you don't really frell up something obvious ... like Romulans NOT having invisibility.

Continuity in story telling is a sign of a mature drama. Yeah Joss! :)

Ghoulman is a moron... that sentance is backwards. <--(in self) It should read Xander DIDN'T tell Buffy. Instead of telling the Buffster what Willow said Xander lied and told Buffy to "kick his ass".

Please continue with your regular reading.
