BUFFY ep 4.02 and 4.03 reviews
OK I've got 2 for you. No I didn't rush them, I did one last night when
Parkinson was on. I only have 2 channels here, ABC and GWN (= ch 7 clone,
Prime), and that had sport on.
So I did one B ep last night and one this morning
As per the first review I tried to be vague enough in places so as not to
give everything away, however I recommend you web header page containing
some sort of spoiler warning "The following reviews contain some spoilers"
or etc
As usual it is written in my regular style with the use of commas, hyphens
etc as I see fit.
BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER ep 4.02 Living Conditions
Rooming with Cathy is bugging Buff, big time. Not quite the roomy from
hell, but Cathy's obsessive compulsive behaviour is driving Buffy to
distraction.
Struggling to find an excuse to leave on her nightly patrolling, Buffy
claims she's going for a coffee, but Cathy tags along anyway. On a dark
campus path, a demon attacks them from behind. Buffy shoves Cathy out of
the way, into some shrubbery, and smacks the demon 'round a bit. The demon
runs off before Cathy regains her senses and climbs out from amongst the
bushes.
Cathy even crowds in on Buffy's personal space in the cafetaria, when she
squeezes in on the Slayerettes table at lunchtime. Buffy chatted with a
guy at lunch, later Cathy seems to be moving in on him too.
The Slayerettes are concerned that Buffy is losing the plot mentally and
going off the deep end. Cathy's irritating behaviour is in danger of
costing her a right pounding and maybe worse. Oz accompanies Buffy on
patrol that night, in order to keep an eye on her deteriorating mental
state.
The next morning, Buffy having seen Cathy having a girl to girl chat with
Willow, tells Willow she intends to kill Cathy. Willow "drops-a-dime" and
dobs in Buffy's homicidal intentions to Giles. Xander, Oz and Giles
conspire to capture Buffy and tie her up in Giles' apartment. Giles then
leaves to continue his research on the original demon attacker. Buffy
escapes her bonds and overcomes Oz and Xander, leaving them unconscious on
the floor.
Buffy returns to her room to have it out once and for all with Cathy.
Giles returns to his apartment, to find Buffy gone and the 2 guys nursing
sore heads. His research has turned up some disturbing information. Giles
and Willow together try an incantation.
The catfight between Cathy and Buffy rapidly become serious and violent.
Cathy seems to be getting the upper hand, when the dorm-rroom door bursts
open and Cathy's Dad storms in. He is NOT a happy man, and insists that his
runaway offspring return with him to the family home where she belongs.
Buffy gets assigned a new room-mate, but her nerves are still on a knife
edge. Will things be any better after all ??

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER ep 4.03 The Harsh Light Of Day
Buffy's been seeing a lot of a guy called Parker lately. After a night out
at the student bar, Buffy and Parker leave together. As Willow leaves the
bar, she is attacked right outside, by Melody, a girl she knew from
Sunnydale High last year. Oz arrives and helps fight her off.
Just as Buffy and Parker reach her dorm-room door, Oz and Willow run up and
relate what's just happened. Meanwhile Harmony's returned home and begs
her boyfriend to kill Willow for her. But he's not interested in girlie
squabbles. He's got more important work on his mind.
Anya (the vengeance demon whom Willow turned mortal by a spell, in the
earlier episode 3:16 Dopplegangland) re-appears on the scene and starts
bugging Xander. She wants Xander and she wants sex, and there ain't
nothin' gonna stand in her way !
Buffy and Parker run across Spike and Melody in the student bar. Buffy
chases them outside and a brief fight ensues. Spike backs off and Melody
threatens they'll be back stronger and deadlier, when they've found the
magic jewel they're seeking.
Later, Buffy meets up with Parker again. They go back to his room, where
his slick talking seduces her. Meanwhile Anya has waylaid Xander in his
basement aprtment, and seduced him, well and truely.
The next morning when Buffy arrives back at her dorm room, Willow and Giles
are already waiting for her, with worrying news.
Melody's perpetual bimbo-headedness, has driven Spike to the edge. They
discover the cache of jewels they're seeking and grab a handful each.
Melody finally pisses off Spike to the max and he rams a stake through her,
in a moment of fury.
Buffy has wondered why Parker hasn't phoned or got back to her in the last
couple of days. Then she sees him getting friendly with another girl on
the campus grounds. She accosts him and he as good as admits that he was
just using her for sex.
Buffy has barely had a moment for that shattering revelation to sink in,
when as she turns around she is suddenly and unexpectedly attacked by
Spike, right there in the campus grounds. He is very strong now and even
staking him doesn't seem to be slowing him down much. The fight is very
vicious indeed but Buffy finally manages to take the protective jewel away
from Spike, now vulnerable, he runs away.
Later, at a meeting of the Slayerettes, it is agreed that Oz will take the
gem for safekeeping.
As the episode closes, 3 lonely women, all having just lost the men in
their lives, are seen wandering aiimlessly 'round the campus grounds.
