Are there dailies for 'As You Were'? I've been reading through the (shooting) script, which has a few points that I really, really wish had been incorporated.
One is from the Bronze scene with Willow and Dawn:
Willow notices something.
WILLOW (cont'd)
Don't move. Don't look. Just
letting you know -- cute guy,
checking you out.
DAWN
Headed this way?
A CUTE GUY, maybe sixteen, walks up to Dawn.
CUTE GUY
Hi. You're Dawn, right? Taylor.
We have bio together ...
DAWN
You sit in the back and don't talk
much but draw cartoons and
sometimes wear these really cool
cowboy boots.
(beat)
Not that I noticed.
CUTE GUY
Do you ... want to dance?
DAWN
(casual)
Sure. I could do that.
The Cute Guy smiles and leads Dawn to the dance floor. Dawn plays it cool, but turns when the guy's not looking to give Willow a big "Oh My God!" face. Willow sneaks her a thumbs up. Dawn starts to dance with the guy, music building ...
Any fanfic writers: There's Dawn's boyfriend if you want one :)
One omission from the script that I was happy about was that Sam was supposed to have been a doctor. Maybe they realised that that would have been overkill? Anyway, there's a great description in the script of the 'What are you doing with my husband' scene:
Sam puts her hands on her hips and raises one eyebrow, awaiting her answer.
Buffy looks shocked.
Riley looks married.
Heh.
The other scene (and the one I was hoping there might be a daily for) is the very end:
BUFFY
-- and it's killing me. I have to
be strong about this.
he looks on the verge of another sly comeback, but she puts her hand to his face.
BUFFY (cont'd)
I'm sorry, William.
Buffy turns -- and walks out. We can see her strength in her face. It's painful -- and fragile -- but strength all the same.
Spike stands in the crypt, alone.
And we hold on his face as he takes in the truth of this. It's over. It's final. And Spike, without moving, gets hit fully and hard by the Thunderbolt...
BLACK OUT
Because Damn JM would have played that so heart breakingly perfect! And the hand to his face.... ::wails::

Very un-Jossian, I thought.
The episode works okay as meta but that doesn't stop it being a very poorly constructed mess in lots of ways.

Anyway, I've read two excellent posts on the ep. This is one of them. I can go looking for the other one if you like?

I think he just head-over-heels in love with Marc Blucas (however you want to interpret love) and really, really wanted to make him look James Bond-y and cool.
Don't worry about searching for the posts. I know I've read a terrific write-up of that episode. Maybe it was
