Episode 4

Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2
Episode: Inca Mummy Girl
Synopsis: Student exchange time at Sunnydale High. That and an Inca exhibit featuring sacrificial murder. What could possibly go wrong?

It is good to have episodes that aren't all about Buffy. It is the ensemble nature of this series that makes it shine. Today the focus is on Xander and Willow and their hopeless "friends" situation with a nice bit of fore-shaddowing(Oz). As far as the story goes none of the characters do anything really all that special(unless you call Xander's witty semi-awkward banter as being special).

Episode 3

Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2
Episode: School Hard
Synopsis: What could be more scary then a two time slayer of Slayers hunting you down?

Parent Teacher night.

Sometimes when an episode is more about the team and less about the monsters the fighting can seem tacked on. Sometimes when an episode is just about the monsters it loses steam.  This was a perfect blend.  Not too heavy-not too light with the added bonus of Spike and Drusilla coming to town.

Eposide 2

Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2
Episode: Some Assembly Required
Synopsis: When Buffy finds an empty grave which didn't previously house a vampire Giles speculates that the body may have been taken by flesh eating demons or voodoo practitioners. But what if the thieves were high school students? It is Science Fair time at Sunnydale.

My two favourite lines of this ep were:
Xander "I will tell you this, people don't fall in love with what is right in front of them.  They want the dream. What they can't have. The more unattainable, the more attractive." - So D&M, so clueless.
Giles "I think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on 40 lbs of protective gear just in order to play rugby" - Oh, SNAP!

Season 2 Episode 1

Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2
Episode: When She Was Bad
Synopsis: A new school year come with new problems, and some old ones still unresolved

SMG does a great job portraying a girl with (as Giles puts it) "Issues". The inner fear that she isn't good enough leads her to alienate herself from her friends and family. The final obligatory action scene didn't really do much for me, but that wasn't what this episode was about.  It was about Buffy dealing with her emotional demons and finding reconciliation, not just from within, but from the people around her too.

A bit of a Change 1

Series: Dr Who 2006 ep 4
Episode: The Girl in the Fireplace
Synopsis: The Dr, Rose and Micky find a spaceship with time portals to 18th C France.

Russell T Davies(writer) continues his love affair with historical figures* as the Dr steps through time portals in a moribund spaceships into various points in the life of the (in)famous Madame De Pompadour.  Probably Russell's best episode to date, but I can't help but think it wouldn't have been as good as it was without the music, so hats off to Murray Gold for giving a good episode the polish to become a great one.

*Checked the episode listing and this was a Steven Moffat ep. To tell the truth I am not wholly surprised as I seem to like "The Moff's" writing more than the other writers(Including Davies)

Episode 12

Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1
Episode: Prophecy Girl
Synopsis: Buffy learns that the prophesies don't look good for her confrontation with the Master.

The last season from Season 1 and the Master finally opens the Hell Mouth. Buffy suffers from the vagaries of prophesy and both she and Xander face decisions and learn truths that will dramatically change them.
