Lots of good stuff. Teen Ripper is a hoot as is Joyce (Juice Newton, is she serious?

I loved "Band Candy"! All joy! First, the band candy thing connected with me as well - I went to a private school, and we were ALWAYS raising money for something or other. Often for the band (and I wasn't in the band either). And often it was candy. Once again the Joss gang takes a familiar high school concept and makes it eeeeeevil...but in a hilarious way this time. This was easily one of the funniest Buffy eps ever...as great comedy comes from the unexpected. And we never saw ANY of that coming! Teen Ripper! Could Anthony have had MORE fun making this ep? He was perfect! The perfect teen bad boy no teen girl can resist...especially Juice Newton-loving Joyce (LOVED Giles' look at her when she brought that name up). All that great "Yeah, whatever" attitude. Teenage Snyder!!! Yes!!! Exactly as I'd imagine him to be at that age. Loved his "I took karate at the Y" moment. Loved Buffy having to parent them all (particularly the potentially dangerous Giles). And more Ethan Rayne! Score!! Love that evil bastige! Loved the scene where Giles is trying to get Buffy to smack him around. Oh, and loved Tony's performance during the Ethan chase, too...man, I really believed he was into it and totally badass...which made it so great when, at the end of the chase, he's winded and pissed about it....doesn't have that teen body anymore to back up his attitude.<br /><br />The tribute was MEGA DISTURBING!! Watching guys in vampire makeup picking up actual babies. Damn! That was great how the reality of that focused Joyce and Giles and got them on track. Buffy/Trick fight! All-too brief. Yes...did Giles and Mom, or didn't they? We shall likely see...<br /><br />Final thought - all the grown-ups at the Bronze? Priceless comedy.Michael O'Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08025339925056909540noreply@blogger.com
