"What's My Line? Pt. 2" [2x10] Review by Mikelangelo "MikeJer" Marinaro Posted by MikeJer on October 24, 2005 Writer: Marti NoxonDirector: David Semel Quick Links Spoiler Warning! This is a retrospective review and may contain spoilers from anywhere in the series. Read at your own peril. Review This episode is a bit better than part one although it unfortunately retains many of that episode's poorer qualities including a slow pace, poor music, and mediocre fight sequences. This time around, though, Spike gets to interact with a lot of the main characters which creates a handful of good moments. Spike is the main thing that elevates this episode up a notch from the previous one. Alright, we pick up right where the last one left us, with the discovery that Kendra is another Vampire Slayer and not the third Tarakan assassin. The conversation between Buffy and Kendra here is very entertaining and a good launching point for the episode. The scene moves into the library where Giles attempts to sort out what the heck is going on. It is during this scene that we find out how different Buffy and Kendra are, not only in personality but also in fighting methods and lifestyle. Kendra is the responsible "do it by the book" sort while Buffy is obviously the opposite. These differences are the beginning of all kinds of interesting discussing regarding the role of the Slayer, which method is better, and the possibility of Kendra replacing Buffy as 'the' Slayer. The replacement issue in particular interests me a lot. By the end of this episode we find out that replacemnt won't work, so when Faith shows up in "Faith, Hope, and Trick" (3x03), nobody thinks about Faith replacing Buffy but instead think about Faith assissting her (aside from Joyce who didn't know all the Kendra issues). I also love Buffy's, "I could say, 'Kendra, you slay, I'm going to Disneyland.'" At this point in her life, that's really all Buffy wants. She would love to give up her Slayer powers and duty and just take off to Disneyland for a few months. If she knew what was going to happen soon in "Innocence" (2x14) she might better appreciate how decent things are in Sunnydale right now. Unfortunately, I don't really like Kendra as a person very much. I like what her what her character does to contrast the uniqueness that Buffy possesses, but I find Kendra cold. Also, her accent is very grating and the acting behind her is mediocre. I do like how she mixes things up, though, and introduces an anomaly into the whole Slayer mythology. A big development in this episode is the beginning of the Cordelia and Xander relationship. While I think their first kiss was ridiculously over-corned (and intentially too), the idea of the two of them together is oddly fascinating. Here's two people who have sparred from the very beginning of the series and now they have a 'thing' between then. They still mostly hate each other though. This is currently a completely physical attraction as these two have nothing in common. Only through time will they learn to actually care for each other. A few scenes in "Becoming Pt. 2" (2x22) come to mind as evidence of that. The third Tarakan assassin, Patrice, was a breath of fresh air compared to the other two. Guns are very rarely used on this show, but I've got to admit they make things interesting. Buffy's fight with her in the school was satisfying. I also love Oz's, "I, uh, I'm shot! (takes his hand away briefly and chuckles) Y'know. (laughs) Wow! It's odd! And painful." The final fight scene with the assassins and Spike is handled okay, but it could have been much better in the hands of a better director (maybe he was just off his game that week). There are two things in particular, though, that really anger me. The first is that Patrice stops attacking Kendra so she can say her dumb line about that being her only shirt. The second, which surprised me, is the poor "I'm good!" line from Buffy. It's very rare this show completely gives into cliched dialog. The episode ends on a high note, though, with Kendra explaining to Buffy that being the Slayer is who she is and not a job. I also found the very final shot, where a newly restored Drusilla picks Spike up out of the rubble of the church and slowly carries him out, very haunting. So when looking back at this two-parter as a whole I can't help but be disappointed. It wasn't bad, but it should be been a whole lot more. This second part is a bit better than the first, but it still has similar problems. Once again, though, there's a lot of great stuff mixed in as well. Minor Pros/Cons (+/-)
Foreshadowing
Quotes BUFFY:I was only gone for a minute.GILES:Clearly it doesn't matter how long you were gone. You were physically dead! Thus causing the activation of the, the next Slayer. KENDRA:She died? BUFFY:Just a little! WILLOW:There's a Slayer handbook? BUFFY:Wait. Handbook? What handbook? How come I don't have a handbook? WILLOW:Is there a T-shirt, too? 'Cause that would be cool... XANDER:Angel's our friend! Except I don't like him. OZ:The monkey's the only cookie animal that gets to wear clothes, you know that? You have the sweetest smile I've ever seen. So, I'm wondering, do the other cookie animals feel sorta ripped? Like, is the hippo going, 'Hey, man, where are *my* pants? I have my hippo dignity!' And you know the monkey's just, (with a French accent) 'I mock you with my monkey pants!' And there's a big coup in the zoo. WILLOW:The monkey is French? OZ:All monkeys are French. You didn't know that?

Comments (31) All Comments | Link2 | Plain SimpleNov 12, 2007 This could be a bit far fetched, but here we go: I once read that Whedon's original plan didn't have Oz leave in season 4 (that was done only because Seth Green got into movies), but it had Oz shot, like eventually Tara ended up being. So could Oz being shot in this episode have been meant as foreshadowing of his eventual demise, sort of book ending his life on the show by two shooting incidents? All Comments | Link3 | Woohoo1729Dec 10, 2007 That does sound a little far-fetched, though of course not completely dismissible. I think at the time Oz's getting shot was just a way to have one of the main characters become a casualty of the Order. Although that is interesting...what if Oz had stayed and got shot and drove Willow to the Dark Arts? hmm... I personally LOVED Kendra's character, including her accent. I'm pretty sure that since Prophecy Girl, upon original airing, this was the first episode that provided a real WOAH! moment. I was 12 at the time, and after the cliffhanger moment from the last episode, I went to class the next day and could not stop talking about the possibility of a second slayer with my fellow Buffy-fanatic friend. Ah, the memories... All Comments | Link4 | JadenJul 15, 2008 if patrice had shot oz fatally we could have done the dark willow arc right now! All Comments | Link5 | spateswifeAug 19, 2008 Did ANYBODY notice that at the end when Angel and Drusilla are separated (they were joined by being stabbed through the hands)that Angel had no hole/stab wound in his hand? Big goof there. Also what I find amusing is that in my hometown of Bay City, TX there are also 43+ churches in town!!! I always knew there was a hell mouth there. That town is nothing but EVIL!!! All Comments | Link6 | LeeluFeb 12, 2009 @spateswife: Nah, that's just part of being in the South. haha I know, I'm from the Coast in Mississippi. There is a damned church on every freaking block, pretty much. And the Coast is on the outskirts of the Bible Belt. It's much worse when you get deeper into the Bible Belt a little more north, like around Hattiesburg, etc. All Comments | Link7 | EmilyFeb 16, 2009 It's known that Kendra is the opposite of Buffy in every way, but it's interesting to note that Buffy came to Sunnydale to get away from her destiny, from what happened in LA. And when in Angel tells her he knows she wants to "kill them all," she responds with, basically, a NO. And Kendra, as the opposite of Buffy, says the following: "To do my duty- I am here to kill vampires." It's incredibly ironic that Spike has so much money here, as opposed to the later seasons where he'll do anything for a quick buck. Do the effects of the sun make a vampire weak? Like if they were indirectly exposed to it, like Angel was here. I don't remember that ever happening before or after in Buffy. Or was it because he hadn't had any blood in a while? I think that when Kendra tells Buffy, "It's not a job- it's who you are," Buffy actually does internalize that. I think we see- not right away, of course, it's more gradual- but we see Buffy actually become the slayer, as opposed to just doing the job of a slayer. And I think that also partly has to do with Angel becoming Angelus, and her subsequent growing-upness. If Buffy has equal or greater power than vampires, shouldn't she have been able to pick up Angel by herself, without Kendra's help, like Dru picked up Angel? Or were the writers trying to show Kendra's acceptance of Angel as a good guy? I love the beginning of Oz and Willow's relationship. I love Tara, don't get me wrong, but Oz is the be-all and end-all of sweet, fun-sized boyfriends. Mike, maybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand why Kendra wasn't able to replace Buffy in the end. Obviously, to keep the show going, but I don't think the writers even mentioned it at all when Buffy was seeing Kendra off. Personally, I don't understand how anyone could like Buffy with anyone but Angel after that scene in the church when she kneels down next to him. The Scoobies just stare in awe at the beauty of that scene- how could you ever dismiss something like that? For Scott? Ewwwww. For Riley? Ewwwwww. For Spike? I could see where you're going with that, but not really. No one's ever gonna be Angel. (And there's my episodic Bangel rant lol.) All in all, I love this episode. I understand why you would give it a B-, but I would give it at least an A-. All Comments | Link8 | RosieApr 13, 2009 It's interesting that Kendra was taught that having family and friends detract from the Slayer calling. Those are the very same qualities that keep Buffy alive for so long, which Spike points out to her in "Fool for Love" (5x07). They are also the people that bring her back to life in "Bargaining Pt. 1" (6x01). It's Buffy family and friends that make her such a strong Slayer. I DISAGREE. What made Buffy a strong Slayer was that she did things her way. What made Kendra a strong Slayer was that she did things her way - namely going by the book. When Kendra tried to do things the Buffy way at the end of Season 2, she got killed. All Comments | Link9 | RosieApr 13, 2009 Mike, maybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand why Kendra wasn't able to replace Buffy in the end. Obviously, to keep the show going, but I don't think the writers even mentioned it at all when Buffy was seeing Kendra off. Kendra DID replace Buffy. She became the Slayer. The Slayer line passed through her between Season 1's "Prophecy Girl" and "Becoming". Buffy has never been THE SLAYER since "Prophecy Girl". For some reason, fans find this hard to accept. All Comments | Link10 | EmilyMay 11, 2009 Rosie, I don't mean in terms of the prophecy. I'm talking about the inconsistencies of the writers- they didn't give a reason why Buffy had to stay and be the slayer. They brought this whole thing up when talking about how she could be the slayer instead of Buffy and Buffy would have a normal life. But at the end, Kendra leaves. I understand that this is a show about *Buffy* the Vampire Slayer, but they didn't work it into the episode. All Comments | Link11 | AndrewJun 6, 2009 Exactly, Rosie. When Kendra died, Faith was created. Buffy is the freaky offshoot, which of course goes with part of the point of the show - Buffy is different from all the rest, which makes her story worth chronicaling. All Comments | Link12 | SunburnSep 18, 2009 I love Kendra's accent! We were discussing it last night... it's a hilarious combination of Jamaican, American and, for some reason, Irish. LOL. "It's interesting that Kendra was taught that having family and friends detract from the Slayer calling." I agree. I suppose it fits with the idea of the lone assassin, without any vulnerabilities which could be used to hurt or blackmail her. For some reason, it made me think of the prohibition on gays in the military; the argument against, I thought, was that it would affect battlefield performance negatively, but for me, it's always seemed that if it had any effect at all it would more likely provoke acts of heroism. In my head, that connects with the heroism of all the Scoobies at times, and of Buffy's in protecting them, but I understand that my connection might seem like bollocks to everyone else. :-D Emily: "Personally, I don't understand how anyone could like Buffy with anyone but Angel after that scene in the church when she kneels down next to him. [...] Spike? I could see where you're going with that, but not really. No one's ever gonna be Angel." Can't help but bite on this one! OK, for me, that scene was adorable, and when I first watched the series, I was very sad when Angel left at the end of season 3. But Spuffy had the potential for something more, IMO. I wish the AR hadn't happened, because it kind of made a relationship between them impossible. But if we're talking moments between them, the trusting moments in season 7 went far beyond this one with Angel because of everything they'd been through together. And for me, the snarky, funny, down-to-earth Spike would be endlessly better fun than the tediously brooding Angel. So much has been made of Spike being 'love's bitch'; even the terminology is demeaning, hence the horror with which everyone regards it. I personally think that as people, relationships are the most important things in our lives, and since Spike, as a vampire, had a lot less to worry about in terms of careers, children and settling down, prioritising love over everything else was not just what made him happy but actually sensible and logical too. All Comments | Link13 | ZapheNov 14, 2009 @ 10:42pm I totally agree with Sunburn, the thing I admire in Spuffy is that Spike had went through the trouble to obtain a soul for her, he went through the pain and torture to break down the barrier between him and Buffy where Angel just accepted the situation. All through Buffy and Angel episodes, it never showed he actively try to seek a solution to the impossible situation between him and Buffy. If Buffy is his only love for 200 years, doesn't it worth his while to try. Perhaps he can go and try to seek the legend and earn his soul so that he would not be a human and cant help Buffy fight like he claimed in Angel series "I will rememeber you". The fact that Spike fought for his soul to be worthy of Buffy, allows that he can fight by her side and rooms for a relationship. It's been shown all through Season 7 how much they trusted and relied on each other and formed such a strong team. I believe that if he hadn't died in then end, Spuffy will get together again. As to AR, I think Buffy got over it by sleeping with him for 3 nights (though no sex) and I think deep down she knows that Spike is not a rapist and that happened before he had a soul and lack of moral compass. All Comments | Link14 | AJDFeb 12, 2010 @ 4:33pm Just re-watched these episodes. Kendra's accent is DREADFUL and distracting! If the character really, really had to be Jamaican then why not either a) hire a Jamaican actress to play the part, or b) hire an actress who can do a Jamaican accent properly! Or simply make Kendra American and let the poor girl speak normally! I kept expecting her to tuck into a pint of Guinness... That's my only gripe. I bet Bianca cringes when she looks back! All Comments | Link15 | NixApr 9, 2010 @ 3:31pm It's interesting that Kendra was taught that emotions detract from the Slayer calling. Now it's probable that Joss simply hadn't thought through the mythology yet, but if we view the world from within itself, it's notable that the First Slayer says the exact opposite three years later, in _Intervention_: 'Love is pain, and the Slayer forges strength from pain'. I interpret this as saying that emotion (well, at least painful emotion, and nobody can say love isn't painful a lot of the time) makes Slayers *stronger*, and this is not a property of Buffy alone, but a property of *all* Slayers. So either the Watcher's Council simply didn't know this (quite unlikely, given how much experience they've got), or they wanted to keep the Slayer down; keep her a good bit weaker so she could be controlled (and an emotionless Slayer is a lot easier to control than a pissed-off one). We have extensive evidence that the Watcher's Council is very interested in keeping the Slayer down; this, perhaps, is a little more. All Comments | Link16 | fray-adjacentMay 13, 2010 @ 8:24am Nix, I totally agree with your analysis of Kendra & the Watcher's Council. I think her character foreshadows how patriarchal the council is. After all, Kendra is all about following the orders of her "superiors" and being "of service." Also, don't folks think Buffy succeeds as a slayer BOTH because of her friends and because she doesn't play by the rules? The former in fact is an example of the latter. Marti Noxon says on the commentary that Kendra's accent was a last-minute decision, and the accent coach gave her an (authentic) accent from a remote part of Jamaica, rather than a more recognizable Kingston accent. Obviously this was a mistake and they should've just scrapped the accent as soon as they heard it, since it just sounds like a bad accent to the majority of viewers! BTW, does anybody else find the way that Buffy treats Kendra (at times) be be incredibly offensive and racist? She repeatedly acts as though Kendra's native language is Spanish (e.g., "no kicko, no fighto"). Evidently all brown people with an accent are Spanish speakers in 16 year-old Buffy's eyes. Perhaps this was meant to show a character flaw on Buffy's part but to me it mostly comes off as racist humor on the part of the show. (And they way Buffy talks to Kendra at those moments would be messed up even if Kendra WAS from a Spanish-speaking country.) All Comments | Link17 | NixMay 31, 2010 @ 3:26pm To me, sitting in the UK far from Hispanic shores, Buffy's attitude to Kendra didn't come across as racist: it came across as *condescending*. Possibly rightly so: from Buffy's viewpoint, this is someone who just attacked a Slayer in the belief she was a vampire. Obviously not someone best treated as a competent person... she was wrong, but her mistake was understandable. All Comments | Link18 | John RobertsSep 21, 2010 @ 11:48am An ultimately silly episode. Which I don't mean in a bad way, I quite enjoyed it. Kendra is ridiculous but useful for illustrating -- both to us and to Buffy -- how fortunate Buffy is to lead such a mainstream life, and to have such a tolerant Watcher. By-the-book cop partnered with the one who makes stuff up, black and white, oh yeah we've been there before. But as often with BtVS, the cliches are toyed with and subverted enough to be entertaining. Spike, Dru, and Angel make a cozy trio. Too bad I'm not gay, I would have been totally into the Angel topless scene. Over the top but way fun. Once again, Buffy is stupid for blindly charging in solo, but first Kendra and then Scoobies bail her hasty tail out. She's gotta get a bit smarter, I'm tired of her being saved. And oh guys, you couldn't hang around and make sure that Spike/Dru were actually killed off? No, I guess you couldn't. Dumbos. Oz is megacool, once again I'm thinking about being gay. I interpreted Kendra's accent as some type of African thing. It was so bad it was good. A fitting statement for the episode. All Comments | Link19 | Michael CarruthersSep 21, 2010 @ 4:32pm WHY do the Tarakan assassins stop coming is my question? Remember Giles' overly dramatic speech in part 1 about how they'll never stop until they've killed their target, one will come in place of another, etc.? Buffy and the gang just kill these guys and its forgotten. I really don't like this episode all that much. Kendra is annoying, and the majority of the episode's comedy failed and was totally unfunny (Kendra's "only shirt", Willy's scene) with only the Xander/Cordelia interaction being mildly amusing. The action finale was crappy, and they could've done a lot more with the Dru/Angel scenes. All she did was rant on about how Angel killed her family. We know this already. Could've been an interesting opportunity to foreshadow the events later in the season. I actually think part 1 was better than part 2. By quite a bit. All Comments | Link20 | CoyoteBuffyFanFeb 18, 2011 @ 10:40pm There are some inconsistencies with Kendra and she isn't the best character on the show but she did serve some important purposes: 1. She gave Buffy a ray of hope that perhaps she could have a normal life with a job and a future. Of course, this is not to be (at least not until Chosen) and it kind of makes your heart break for Buffy. On the other hand, it is pretty obvious that even if there were another slayer (Faith later on), Buffy wouldn't be able to not save the world. 2. Through Kendra we realize just how unique Buffy is as a slayer. Her relationship with her watcher is unusual, she doesn't study the books, her training is weird, her fight plans are creative and odd, she dates a vampire, and she actually goes to school and has friends, who know who she is and help her fight demons, no less! We knew that Buffy wasn't typical but we really see how weird her slayerness is through the eyes of Kendra. 3. When Kendra dies, we get Faith! Oh how I love Faith so thanks for dying Kendra! :P And, of course, this episode brings the first kiss in the Cordelina/Xander romance. I loved them together. Not as much as I love him and Anya but it is a great first non-demon relationship for Xander. And I love the recurring character of Jonathan even though he only really says one line an episode until Earshot and, of course, S6. What other show has characters that have a major impact on the show later on have such bit parts for many episodes early in the series. Just great. Michael Carruthers -- I agree with you that the fact that the Order just stopped coming made no sense. I said in the last episode that I liked the concept of assassins that just kept coming until the deed was done...if this was true, these would be good villains, indeed, even if some of them were lame. Knowing another one would just keep coming would be tiring and frustrating and it would have been interesting to see this explored. If they had managed to work in a plausible way of stopping it, this two parter could have had more bite. All Comments | Link21 | huhahuhaMay 19, 2011 @ 10:09am Emily: "Personally, I don't understand how anyone could like Buffy with anyone but Angel after that scene in the church when she kneels down next to him. The Scoobies just stare in awe at the beauty of that scene- how could you ever dismiss something like that? [...] Spike? I could see where you're going with that, but not really. No one's ever gonna be Angel." Thank you very much. I felt exactly the same way after seeing this scene. It was short, only a few seconds. But I was totally blown away by the sheer beauty of it. I actually rewound my DVD player 3-4 times to watch it again to fully absorb the visual impact and awe of this scene. It was almost like a classic oil painting from the Renaissance. The kiss on ice scene in the previous episode also felt quite beautiful. I am a Bangel fan. But I guess I understand the Spuffy fans. There are beautiful and intriguing moments from both relationships. But they will resonate differently with different people because of different backgrounds and experiences. For me, the pure, innocent, classic style, almost fairy tale like Buffy/Angel romance resonates very strongly with me. Whenever Buffy and Angel are on screen together, the chemistry and passion between them always touches me. In contrast, I found Spike's obsession and stalking in S5 and Buffy's abusive relationship with him in S6 deeply disturbing. But again, that is just me. I know a lot of people view the show differently and I totally respect that. I am a sucker for classic stories and this review kinda makes me want to revisit some of the classic romances, like Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. All Comments | Link22 | DaveAug 17, 2011 @ 4:57am Angel was too broody, their love was a teenage fantasy and not at all mature, despite the circumstances. This is why Spike and Buffy's growing relationship was so interesting, as it was dark, heavy and very, very mature. All Comments | Link23 | ErinAug 31, 2011 @ 1:02am I loved Oz in this episode. I really like the way Oz was introduced this season - kind of slowly; bit by bit. The Willow/Oz scene near the end was cute, especially Oz telling Willow she has the sweetest smile he has ever seen :) All Comments | Link24 | Gemma Dec 14, 2011 @ 1:17pm What is apparent from early on is that Buffy may not be able to overcome some demons. In fact Prophecy Girl could have been her final stand, fortunately for Buffy she has friends, things that tie her to the world as Spike points out in Fool for Love. Kendra; is a great introduction to solidify the slayer myth and as a reflection of the way Buffy handles her calling. Kendra is Buffy's polar opposite. Book worm and afraid of Boys. Or the she-giles as Buffy points out. This is made palpable from the start but made more so when Kendra and Buffy share a somewhat touching moment. Buffy points out that her emotions give her power, give her strength and imagination. She tricks Kendra into feeling anger to demonstrate her point, something which Kendra doesn't deny. The differences and moments between them make for great viewing. Kendra for me though is a little deficient in the i need to route for her notion. I love when Buffy derides her by mimicking her accent, something totally missed by the 'super slayer'. I continue to ponder whether Kendra's death could have been prevented had she been like Buffy and let her feelings affect her slaying. Its odd to think this could have been Buffy, as i noted above without her influx of friends and worldly ties Spike may have succeeded in over powering her. The beginning of Xander's and Cordelia's relationship start here, which allows for both characters to receive some development. Xander will be forever endeavouring to live up to Cordelia's escalating standards until she grows and manages to ditch the sheep she hangs with. The final scenes, for me, fell a little flat, the fact that Dru was restored without Angel actually being killed subverted the threat that was hanging over him. The fact that Dru and Spike have switched places is intriguing but doesn't escalate the plot so much. It would have been more interesting had both Dru and Spike been at full strength. The fighting between Kendra and Buffy; the tag team display was fun and showed great development in this side of the show, i have to confess that the shared attacking of Spike and the other vamps foreshadowed the shared battles fought with Buffy and Faith - as well as the ending of WML pt 1 it foreshadowed the fights between Buffy and Faith, which there many. I think that Buffy could have subverted Kendra like she does Faith. - Always pro Buffy! All Comments | Link25 | Ryan ONeilJun 27, 2012 @ 5:26pm If I may copy/paste directly from a discussion board: "I also thought she[Kendra] was too flat at first, but it occurred to me that she really was that flat on purpose. She wasn't raised as a human being, she was raised as a thing to be pointed at something to kill it, and it didn't matter whether she was killed because there would be someone else allegedly exactly like her. Her mechanical way of speaking was because nobody talked to her, they talked at her, so she couldn't practice talking to them. Her (lack of) character development was based on how thoroughly the Council had broken her. Even the tiny moment of her naming her stake Mr Pointy just accentuated that by showing that however hard you try to cut somebody off from the world, to treat them as a nothing, make them think they are nothing, they will still want to be human and will still be human (even if they don't consciously realize it), and however close you come to breaking them it will never be complete (although, on the flip side, it can also be irreparably close)." All Comments | Link26 | CraigNov 2, 2012 @ 11:41am Kendra is right up there with Forest and the most annoying of the Potentials as one of my least favorite recurring characters on Buffy. She's the worst. I cringe every time she's on screen and I would like this episode a lot better if there were a better actress, with a better accent, playing her. I agree with the review, that her character is interesting in concept due to the contrast it draws to Buffy, but the execution is just horrendous. All Comments | Link27 | SummerDec 16, 2012 @ 5:17pm I enjoyed Kendra. That's one of my fave names now thanks to the show. Her accent is a little harsh. I really like how she highlights the difference between Buffy and other more traditional slayers. We always knew she was different but in this episode we really understand HOW different. Love the Bangel vs Spuffy debate in the comments but for me is all about Xander/Cordelia and Willow/Oz. When Oz says that Willow has the sweetest smile is sooooooooo sweet I wanna die. And Xander and Cordelia's sexual tension has been building for episodes. It's stupid but fun. I love Xander staring at her as he's hosing her down. Don't know why Cordelia didn't just ditch that jacket and keep running. Maybe it was Prada or something. Also another one of my favorite lines: Buffy: It's your lucky day Kendra: Two Slayers Buffy: No waiting All Comments | Link28 | SummerDec 16, 2012 @ 5:39pm Also I read somewhere that Biana Lawson was supposed to be Cordelia but turned it down? How cool would that be? Although I love Charisma, of course All Comments | Link29 | Ryan ONeilDec 16, 2012 @ 6:16pm *in reply to Summer (#28) No, that was Sarah. And Charisma was supposed to be Buffy :)Although if you've read something that I haven't and BOTH Slayers were originally supposed to be Cordy, than that just became even more supremely awesome! All Comments | Link30 | SeeleJan 30, 2013 @ 8:16am *in reply to CoyoteBuffyFan (#20) Is it also possible that Spike just wanted to "dance" again? Hewas famously disappointed that he and Buffy didn't finish in School Hard. Maybe he just hired the assassins so that she wouldn't be able to stop him from curing Dru now that the deadline was finally coming up, and when Dru was taken care of they called off the assassins so that Spike could try again when he wasn't hurt either? All Comments | Link31 | SeeleJan 30, 2013 @ 8:17am I also just realized how much "Tarakan" sounds like "Turok-Han" Post a Comment
