Re-watching Passion

[chani]

There was nothing on telly so...A few thoughts about what is probably the best episode of Buffy season 2:

 

Dru was much more of a bitch with Spike than Buffy has ever been in season 6.

I loved that Jenny paid the orb of Thesulah with her credit card! Devil is in the details but sometimes so is humour...

Xander calling Buffy watcher's  pet made me giggle.

Buffy was very mature for Giles' sake when she forgave Jenny. And in the end saving Giles was her priority. She so loved him and I loved Buffy for loving Giles that way.

I suddenly realized that Buffy couldn't have dressed the same in a French highschool, because that big cross around her neck is WAY outlawed here!

I like how Buffy and Joyce ended "the talk".

Without Dru's vision and her visiting at the Magic Shop, Jenny wouldn't have been killed by Angelus. It's funny to think that she's going to use her thrall and to "impersonate" Jenny in Becoming.

We can also draw a parallel between Spike preventing Dru from helping Angelus against Giles, using a wrestling metaphor, and his actions later in Becoming.

And of course there's Puccini. La Bohème for a bohemian girl...and a tragic ending. For me Giles finding Jenny's body is one of the greatest moments of that show. And the music plus the close-up on his blank face when they are taking the body away...just poignant!
