elisi: Edwin holding a tiny snowman (Buffy's real father by tis_nat)
People don’t like this episode, I think. I’m not sure why - is it too slow? Personally I quite like the slowness - the quiet before the storm. Or is it all just because of the end? See I have this thing where I always focus on the good stuff - a bad episode might have just a couple of good things to it, but they will make me like it more - even elevate the badness. By the same token, if an episode is generally good, I'm not going to let a couple of less-good things put me off the rest. Anyway - I’m saving The Kiss part for another post and concentrating on the other 39 1/2 minutes for now, OK?
