Yes, I know this is really, really late. Oh well.. what're you gonna do. Beware, I did lots of transcribing.
SPOILERS FOR BUFFY 7.02: "BENEATH YOU"
*
*
*
*
The Slayer murder this week... so very Alias. The music, the pink hair, the outfit, some of the moves. Very Sydney-esque. Or,okay, it could be "Run Lola Run." I want that music, by the way. "From beneath you, it devours." Prophetic dreams about Slayers being killed. Funny thing is, they all seem the same age. What happened to "In each generation"? Even if they are a year apart, I figure there are only 3 or 4 more they can kill before it starts to get silly and these cloaked guys are killing little girls.
I am quite in love with Mad!Spike. The hair is my favorite part *hee* His behaviour is so very Dru and while I couldn't stand much of it from her, Mad!Spike every week wouldn't be bad. Damn them for rebleaching the hair and making him wear that.. that.. ewww blue shirt. And very, very lucid. The voices in his head whipped him into shape pretty good.
So.. apparently, Spike actually did want his soul back. I dunno. I just thought he wanted the chip out, because, well, that made sense to me. But like always, I have assumed wrong.
Carpooling with Xander! Wheee! I'm still reeling from the fact that Buffy has a job. As a counselor. Oh and Prinicipal Wood is a vegetarian. That makes him inherently evil, right? *g*
Mmm... more scenes from England. Would it be wrong to say that I was at one point a Willow/Giles 'shipper and this scene gave me a happy? Yes, I am weird. Willow and Giles back to Sunnydale! Nice and refreshed from Old World England. I'm looking forward to see how Will deals with everything back in creepy, scary Sunnydale.
I don't like Nancy. She's annoying. She best not be Xander's new girlfriend because... ugh. She reminds me too much of Anya, so he might as well get back together with Anya. I can't believe they killed her dog, though. Poor puppy... Ugh, make her go away! She is so season 3 Anya!
Dawn with a backbone. Very nice. I like it. Dawn and Xander are united in the "Spike is an ass and needs to be beat" front. Erm.. I guess that's a good thing. How sad the Scoobies are now reduced to three. *sigh* At least Dawn doesn't whine about being left home.
*teehee* Xander trying to hit on a girl. Comical. "Xander, little bit of drool." Actually, they are both really awkward flirters. And of course, it's the new girl's fault that the worm is.. well, the worm is her ex-boyfriend and that's technically Anya's fault, but she wished it!
Poor Anya, just trying to do her job.. without hurting anyone. I feel bad for her. And I am still of the stance that it was Xander's fault because he left her at the altar. I don't care if it's common or not. It's not right. He could have talked to her. And now she's a vengeance demon again. Good job, Xander.
Loved the fact that Anya picked up that Spike has a soul. "I can see you. How did you do it? How did you get it?" Of course, then Spike backhands her and she comes back all pissed-off and veiny (more purple than last time I think). "I am so gonna kick your ass." Then of course Buffy jumps in and takes over to "work out some personal issues," with Spike egging her on. Man, he is truly frelled in the head. Strangely, people in the Bronze were very, very calm.
I feel really bad for Spike when he was trying to be Big Bad again and stabbed Roonie in the shoulder with the pipe. I guess he has that chip still in his head afterall. I love how he reverted back to babbling Spike. "Right. Wrong. Wrong maneuver. Not hardly helpful." And with the yelling at the people in his head. "What the hell are you screaming about? I can hear you. No need to SHOUT!" I hope this goes on for most of the season. Heh.
Anya's ominous "Oh, it will be." Yeah. freaky.
The last scene was just WOW. It's transcribed below, but it definitely needs to be seen. There are no words. I'm really glad it was James because he acted it perfectly. He's really getting to stretch his acting muscles this season with multi-dimensional insane Spike.
Quotage:
Buffy: That's not something you just bounce right back from.
Xander: Sure it is. She bounced back to being a vengeance demon and I bounced back to being a dateless nerd.
"Can I give detention?" - Buffy
Principal Wood: Just remember that while you are here to help, you're not here to be their friend. Trust me, you open that door and these students will eat you alive.
Buffy: You heard about Principal Flutie, right?
Principal Wood: There's only three things these kids understand: the boot, the bat, and the bastinada. It's the... it's a.. It's a bad joke. It's the bastinada. No one ever knows what that thing is.
Buffy: Wooden rod used to slap the souls of the feet in Turkish prisons. But, if made with the right wood, makes an awesome billy club.
Giles: That's your fear talking.
Willow: Yes, and my fear's a big obnoxious blabbermouth.
"Trust yourself and the others might follow." - Giles
Dawn: Should we round up the gang?
Xander: Good thinking! Unfortunately, this is the gang.
"Right, 'cause that seems to be the only time you let us in, Buffy. Whenever you want." - Dawn
Dawn: Spike. You sleep, right? You--vampires--you sleep?
Spike: Yeah, what's your point, niblet?
Dawn: Well, I can't take you in a fight or anything, even with a chip in your head, but you do sleep. If you hurt my sister at all, touch her, you're gonna wake up on fire.
"And when exactly did your sister get unbelievably scary?" - Spike
Spike: Look, I can't blame you for being all skittish.
Buffy: Skittish? That's not a word I would use for it. You tried to rape me. I don't have the words...
Spike: Neither do I. Can't say "sorry". Can't use "forgive me". All I can say is, Buffy, I've changed.
Buffy: I believe you.
Spike: Well, that's something
Buffy: I just don't know what you've changed into.
Nancy: You know the feeling that you get when your ex is constantly ruining every part of your life and it just doesn't stop? And you get so tired of feeling helpless that all you can do is wish it would stop?
Xander: Wish?
"Oh, penis." - Anya, upon seeing Xander
"Wait, that gets the sad noise? People's lives are in danger and you give it up for the yorkie?" - Xander
Nancy: I thought you were Xander's ex-girlfriend?
Anya: I am.
Nancy: But you and Spike--
Anya: Had a thing.
Spike: Didn't last.
Nancy: But you're Buffy's..
Spike: Briefly.
Buffy: Never serious.
Nancy: Is there anyone here who hasn't slept together?
[Spike and Xander exchange that look. Yeah, you know the look.]
Anya: At least we're all bipeds, which is more than I can say for Ronnie the worm boy.
"Bite me, Harris! I have rules to work with. Vengeance demon codes of conduct. But you'll never understand 'cause you're all still so... human." - Anya
Xander: Nice friends you got.
Anya: Nice friends I had. Chums, coworkers, bridesmaids. Oh, I had the whole package, until something fell apart. What could that be, Xander?
Xander: You saying this is my fault?
Anya: All I'm saying is none of this happened until you dumped me at the altar.
Xander: And sooner or later, Anya, that excuse just stops working.
"Just the beginning, love. A warm up act. The real headliner's coming and when that band hits the stage, all of this... all this... will come tumbling in death and screaming, horror and bloodshed. From beneath you it devours. From beneath..." - Spike
Spike: Didn't work.
Buffy: What the hell are you--
Spike: It didn't work. The costume. It didn't help. Couldn't hide.
Buffy: No more mind games, Spike.
Spike: No more mind games. No more mind.
Buffy: Tell me what happened to you. [reaches for him]
Spike: Hey! Hey, hey! No touching! Am I flesh? Am I flesh to you? Feed on flesh. My flesh. Nothing else, not a spark. Fine, flesh then. Solid through. Get it hard, service the girl. [unfastens his pants]
Buffy: Stop it! You-- [stops him, he grabs her throat, and she throws him]
Spike: Right. Girl doesn't want to be serviced. Because there's no spark. Ain't we in a soddin' engine?
Buffy: Spike, have you completely lost your mind?
Spike: [lucid] Well, yes. Where have you been all night?
Buffy: You thought you could just come back here and... be with me?
Spike: There's time enough for everything.
Buffy: This is all you get. I'm listening. Tell me what happened.
Spike: I tried to find it.
Buffy: Find what?
Spike: The spark. The missing... the piece.. that fit. That would make me fit. Because you didn't want... God, I can't... not with you looking. I dreamed of killing you. I think they were dreams. So weak. Did you make me weak? Thinking of you, holding myself, and spilling useless buckets of salt over your... ending. Angel-- he should have warned me. He makes a good show of forgetting, but it's here... in me. All the time. The spark. I wanted to give you what you deserve. And I got it. They put the spark in me and now all it does is burn.
Buffy: Your soul.
Spike: A bit worse for lack of use.
Buffy: You got your soul back. How?
Spike: It's what you wanted, right? It's what you wanted, right? And--and now everybody's in here, talking. Everything I did. Everyone I... and him... and it... the other... the thing... beneath--beneath you... it's here, too. Everybody, they all just tell me go. Go... to hell.
Buffy: Why? Why would you do that?
Spike: You were ashamed, weren't you... Why does a man do what he musn't? For her. To be hers. To be the kind of man who would nev-- To be a kind of man. And she shall look on him with forgiveness and everybody will forgive and love. He will be loved. So everything's okay, right? [drapes himself over a large cross] Can--can we rest now? Buffy... can we rest?

Date: 2002-10-07 11:46 am (UTC)And I agree; we thought that the episode beginning was Lola Rennt-ish (Manycolored's thought), and it did bear a very striking resemblance to what little I've seen of Alias.
