Great Quotes:
Uncle Enyos Quote: "To the modern man vengeance is a verb, an idea. Payback. One thing for another. Like commerce. Not with us. Vengeance is a living thing. It passes through generations. It commands. It kills."
Xander Quote: "I'm seventeen. Looking at linoleum makes me wanna have sex."
Editorial:
I had tears in my eyes for Buffy in this episode and that doesn't happen very easily. This season has
slowly been leading up...to this. Joss Whedon builds up our emotions, he sets the perfect characters, the
perfect situation. Then he completely reverses one character's role in an extremely painful traumatic experience
which no one will soon forget.
