-Synopsis
-Giles wants to punch himself a Watcher... or a whole council.
-Retroactive pay = awesome.
-Buffy vs. the Watchers Council
-Buffy's inferiority complex rears its ugly head.

-Anya has no chill and we love her for it.
-Xander is NOT useless and we aren't here for the continued jokes about it.
-We've all been Matrix-ed. Dawn feels like a natural part of the show already.
-The Knights of Byzantium are kind of random. Don't they know that whole 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' thing?
-Glory is a god. What does this mean?!?!
-Are the Knights of Byzantium the key to defeating Glory?
-Spike and Buffy have harsh words, but she trusted him to protect Joyce and Dawn.

Angel season 2, episode 12, "Blood Money":
-Synopsis
-The Angel-less Investigations team is still at work, even as they all definitely wish Angel was around to help.
-While Cordy, Wesley, and Gunn are doing their own thing, Angel is obsessing over yet another blonde.
-So, Anne is the same girl that we met on Buffy as Lily/Chanterelle.
-She's definitely a lot more self-assured now, though, especially sans Ricky tattoo.
-Merle is doing what Angel should be doing. Maybe he should offer his services to the Angel-less Investigations team?
-Why is Angel acting like this?
-Is Wolfram & Hart still the big bad we were afraid of last season? Lilah and Lindsay seem less threatening for sure.
-Boone: how significant is he?
-His integrity regarding not wanting to defeat Angel in the daylight reminded us of the Scooby-gang-not-killing-Spike discussion.
-Does Angel have that same integrity?
