Stu and I return to finish up the first season of
Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In the season finale, Buffy must finally
face The Master and ultimately die, as is written in the Slaying
For Dummies textbook. Meanwhile, Xander takes a page from Dating
For Dummies and asks Buffy to the dance. Three guesses on how that
one turns out. This episode has everything. Drama, adventure,
suspense, romance and fruit punch mouth.Hehe, it\'s clearly magical sacrificial fabric - the dirt and blood just slides right off!
Yeah, anytime you notice something like that? A wizard did it. :)
On previously segments: Peopel didn\'t like htese removed because they\'re scored as part of the episode. THe music just starts abruptly without them. There\'s also the issue of The Gift, where the segment served a rather different purpose and an episode of Angel where it existed to set up a joke. It gives a whole bunch of previously stuff about Darla, then opens with Angel talkign to an unseen person, who turns out to be Cordelia.
I\'m used to work in fashion sales. In the late 1990s, simple elegance was the fashion. This trend was led by people like Gwyneth Paltrow, IIRC. There were a lot of solid cremes and whites and such that were cut in a classic, not particularly elaborate style with only minor ornamentation.
That scene where they discover the dead bodies is also a big turning point for Cordelia. It destroys her ability to ignore things and she\'s basically a part of the group after this.
Speaking of Buffy\'s hair: While her hair gets all mussed, her white dress holds up pretty well after that stint in a mud puddle.
