Ding Dong: A BTVS Restrospective, S5 E15-16 FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE ! Episode 15 Image Credit: 20th Century Fox TV We open up with a furious Buffy hard at training while simultaneously bitching about Spike, who she just keeps leaving alive anyway, so maybe go yell at a mirror, dumbass. We eventually see that she isn’t pounding away at a heavybag, but instead at Xander in a big puffy suit, like what people wear in those sumo wrestling games at fairs. We get some classic Joss Whedon dialogue when Buffy says she could date a normal guy and laugh at his jokes: “Guys like that.
The joke laughing at”. I sigh because Joss the writing on this show is a one-half trick pony. We cut to a pretty young woman getting out of a car and saying she is going to find her true love in SunnyDale.
Then: opening theme! Rock out to some Nerf Herder! At the Buffy abode, Mom is trying on dresses for Buffy and Dawn, with the latter two teasing her gently and making her do repeated spins in the dresses. Mom has a date with a guy named Bryan. Buffy, ever stuck thinking about herself, laments the loss of all her boyfriends.
A rare pairing of Anya and Tara sees Anya bragging about using the stock market to triple her earnings from the magic shop. They run into the girl from the second scene, who asks them if they know where Warren is. They have no idea what she’s on about, so they brush her off and continue talking stocks like the sophisticated businesswomen they are.
I hope–I HOPE�.
