Bored now! This ep is important in buffydom because it's the first time that anybody cared about somebody dying in 5 years of carnage. There was a lot about this one that was great (Buffy seeing/hearing things, Santa isn't a myth, Anya doesn't get it). I really do like this episode, but I also understand why some people won't. For the most part I prefer the first two or three seasons. They were much sillier, and the skirts were shorter. But of course season 2/3 is more soap opera-ey than anything since. All that crap about Buffy falling for a vampire that acts more like a art student. Bleh. -- mike
