It was a DOGFIGHT! It was awesome. And they used the Star Wars radio lingo, but they were Gray group and not Red because dogs are color blind! It's brilliant!

SPOILER: (Actually, I'm not really sure)

"Now you're back making googly eyes at each other. Makes me want to heave." I'm also pleased that James Marsters has his British accent more under control now. I'm always a little shocked at how far he came when I go back and watch "School Hard."

I totally agree. I will be a later-season-Marti-Noxon-Spike-defender to the end.

Neil Patrick Harris is on my list
"You just Mosby'd me again you minx!"

"I don't cough for my own amusement!"

I'm glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought she was going to stake him with the table leg.

Nitpicky girl corrects fanboy: Tango was prgrammed to be French. Her handler saying "You know I can't understand you when you speak French" was just a little pre-treatment humor.

I'm shocked that no one sees Topher as Andrew from Buffy. That was the first thing I thought of. Not quite out and out evil, but he picks up it's flavor like a mushroom. If Andrew had a little more technical savvy and some drive, he would absolutely be Topher.

Super Nerd Alert
Leonard was reading "Wrinkles in Time" by guess who…George Smoot and Keay Davidson. Also, you have to love any show that follows up with a cameo from a Nobel Laureate.

The shoes thing really bothers me, but I will draw your attention back to Buffy and Angel when all the girl ass-kicking and running was supposed to be taking place in impossible heels. If you look carefully enough, you can even see the stunt doubles in tennis shoes because there is not a studio in existence that pays…

An "Eh" kind of episode
While I agree that the "Diva wants to die" subplot was a pleasant surprise, I have to say I think it would have meant more if WE had not actually wanted her to die so badly. Further, that pathetic half dancing while they were talking about Sierra? Did anyone else find that ridiculous? …
