Never Leave Me.
20 September 2006 02:05 pmLook! New layout! :) I watched the episode in question yesterday and got all S7 Spuffy nostalgic... *sigh*
Also I'd forgotten that this was the episode when The Council got blown up. It's very well done (not the explosion, the CGI effects are awful) but the shock of it. The whole thing just swept away like that. And Quentin Travers' last words are:
"My friends, these are the times that define us. Proverbs, 24:6. "For by wise counsel, you shall make your war."
Now the fact that this was a pun never occurred to me before. And it is rather funny, because The Watchers Council has never been portrayed as very wise. But. This was Buffy's backup - the people with the knowledge and experience. They are worried, but calm - all stiff upper lip and Blitz spirit. Whatever their advice/strategy might have been, it would have been better than nothing.
And so poor Buffy is left with pretty much nothing - her only councillor being Giles, whom she has issues with already, and (although he might be a good watcher) doesn't exactly have any experience in how to lead a war...
So it's all Buffy, all by herself. (Except for Spike of course!)
Specific NLM posts:
A comparison of speeches: NLM/Touched.
NLM as the Spuffy version of Amends.
And finally, I've uploaded the perfect song for 'Never Leave Me'. Enjoy. :)
Honesty.
