i am in my room and i am really mad because claire and charlie won't stop playing with the eight-ball, and i just had a retarded evening in general, old-skool style. um, also i can't stop thinking about this whole buffy/dubya parallel. okay, so the first evil blows up the CoW headquarters at the end of "Never Leave Me." i talked about the significance of that in one of responses below--but basically it's unusual for buffyverse to have shit blown up, and before it had only been done by buffy herself in "innocence" and by the scoobies at the end of season 3. now we have an evil that is blowing up buildings, shot from OUTSIDE, a discourse of an evil that can be anywhere/anytime, even PEOPLE WE THINK WE KNOW, buffy keeps talking how "the only thing more powerful than evil is us." us. get it? US. then there is talk of hunting/cutting hearts out, reminiscent of the "dead of alive" rhetoric in ethos, comments about war room, becoming an army, and buffy talking about the fight to come with vaguely dramatic/patriotic music playing in the background.
huh.
