The Viewing Files: Where Giles Is Totally Bad Ass

I'm still watching...

Season 3 Episode 6: Band Candy

Giles unleashes his bad boy Ripper persona when he and all the other 'adult's suddenly start acting like their teenage self.

It's up to Buffy to figure out what's going on and also try and keep her mom and Ripper apart.  Because Joyce like so many of us loves a bad boy.

Personally I would have left them as they were because Ripper Giles is totally hot.

Fav Quote: Buffy: "Something's weird."  Oz: "Something's not?"

Fashion: Buffy's hair is still got the sunkiss blonde highlights thing going on.  Meanwhile Giles manages to make smoking look all kinds of hot.

Season 3 Episode 7: Revelations

Faith gets a new watcher, a very sooty and snarky Miss Post who quickly tries to put everyone in their place.

Meanwhile Buffy is secretly helping Angel heal, Willow and Xander are indulging in their own secret make-out sessions and there's a dangerous glove that imbues the wearer with special powers.

You just know it's all going to crap.

Someone should seriously put warnings on all these supernatural objects that are just laying around.

Fav Quote: Giles: That was bracing.
Buffy: Interesting lady. Can we kill her?
Giles: I think the Council might frown upon that. 


Fashion: The blonde highlights are I think growing on me.  I love Buffy's black camouflage look especially the beanie.  Very stealthy and blending in the dark vibe going on there.

Season 3 Episode 8: Lovers Walk

Spike is back in town, depressed and out for revenge, blaming Buffy and Angel for his breakup with Druscilla.  

Love sucks and Spike's re-appearance is about to make everyone realise this.

Fav Quote: Spike: I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it. 

Fashion: The cardigan look is back.

Body Count: 1
Season 3 Episode 9: The Wish

Angry and hurt by Xander's betrayal Cordelia gains the attention of a vengeance demon who grants her one wish.  Suddenly Cordelia is in a Sunnydale where vampires rule and everyone else just tries to stay alive.  Where on Earth is a Slayer when you need one?

Fav Quote: Buffy: I don't play well with others. Now, I'm gonna ask you this once, and then I'm gonna get testy. 

Fashion: The whole leather look of Vamp Willow and Vamp Xander is seriously on point.

Body Count: Pretty much everyone in the alternate universe but hey Giles was still alive so I'm happy
Season 3 Episode 10: Amends 

It's Christmas time and everyone is preparing for the holiday season.  Meanwhile Angel is being haunted by all the people he has killed.  Is he going insane or is there something else going on?

Can you just tear out my heart and stomp on why don't you.  Because yeah this episode so totally angsty.

Note: This is one of those Christmas that I watch every year (along with the Supernatural Christmas episode and Frasier Christmas episodes). 

Fav Quote: Xander: Angel? Weird? What are the odds? 

Fashion: OMG someone butchered Buffy's hair and made her fringe so short that it looks weird.  Even weirder it changes back to its old look half way through the episode.  Huh???

Blue shirt Giles is back.  And I'm just a swoony puddle on the floor.
