The Viewing Files: You Really Can't Trust Anyone

For a show with vampire in the title there's an awful lot of other supernatural beings in Sunnydale.  I guess that's what you get when you live on the Hellmouth.

Episode 7: Angel

The man in black finally gets an episode of his own and his 'secret' is revealed.  How Buffy did not see this coming I don't know, I mean the clues were kind of there.

Still with that out of the way she now has to decide whether to give him that stabbing feeling or not.  In the end common sense goes out the window and Buffy and the rest of the Scoobies decide that Angel is a good guy.  Mmm... I'm pretty sure that is going to come back and bite them on the ass.

Fav Quote: Buffy: Cool, crossbow! Check out these babies. Goodbye, stakes, hello, flying fatality!

Fashion: Buffy wears a headband for the first time.  Not a look that I could pull off but as it's pink it would still be totally me.  Giles awful sweater vest and lime green check shirt are also back again.  Someone should raid his wardrobe and burn these.

Body Count: No humans were harmed in the making of this video... vampires on the other hand...

Episode 8: I Robot, You Jane

And let the flirting commence.  Giles and Miss Calendar the sexy computer science teacher finally meet and their flirting bickering is just so cute.  Meanwhile Willow finally decides to stop crushing on Xander and begins an online relationship with a boy named Malcolm.

Love it seems is in the air.

Of course the path of true love never goes smoothly and Willow finds out that the cute, nice boy is actually a demon now living inside a robot body courtesy of two geek boys.  Miss Calendar must be one hell of computer science teacher.

In the end Robot Demon is exorcised courtesy of Giles and Miss Calendar (that's team work for you) and fried courtesy of Buffy's duck and dive and the Slayer and the Slayerette's are left to commiserate the disaster that is their love lives.

Fav Quote: Buffy: Okay, so a powerful demon with horns is walking around Sunnydale, and nobody's noticed?

Fashion: This time Willow is wearing the pink headband.  Her and Buffy are now swapping clothes which is cool.  Either way she totally works this look even better than Buffy did.  It's also the first appearance of one of her signature fluffy jumpers.  This one in mauve.  Obviously having an online boyfriend has made Willow get in touch with her inner girly girl which she should definitely do more so in the future.

Body Count: 2 students.

Episode 9: The Puppet Show 

Buffy and the team are roped into taking part in the school's talent show by the new principal, something that fills all three with dread.   Really though they should be more concerned by the creep as ventriloquist dummy (they certainly give me the wiggins).

A talent show and a headless corpse is soon the least of their problems, though Giles may have more serious problems what with the demon that wants to slice the top of his scalp off and take his brain.

Yep it's just another sunny day in Sunnydale.

Fav Quote: Principal Snyder: There are things I will not tolerate: students loitering on campus after school, horrible murders with hearts being removed... and also smoking.

Fashion:  Buffy in a very short, short leopard print dress, need I say anything more. 

Body Count: 3 students - at this rate there's not going to be many students left at this high school.
