Curiosità:

Joss Whedon's favorite "Buffy" episode.

Errori:

Revealing mistakes: As the Judge is zapping his first victim on the stairs at the mall, the entire background scene of the mall below is frozen. This is especially noticeable in the case of a stooped-over man visible past the Judge's left elbow.

Citazioni:

[Buffy doesn't know Angel has lost his soul]
Buffy: You just left.
Angelus: Yeah. Like I really wanted to stick around after that.
Buffy: What?
Angelus: You got a lot to learn about men, kiddo. Although I guess you proved that last night.
Buffy: What are you saying?
Angelus: Let's not make an issue out of it, okay? In fact, let's not talk about it at all. It happened.
Buffy: I-I don't understand. Was it m-me? Was I not good?
Angelus: [sarcastically] You were great. Really. I thought you were a pro.

A word better than Brilliant

This is the greatest piece of television I have ever seen. And I've seen a lot of television. I'm not sure I can adequately describe what makes this episode stand out from all the rest, but here goes: The whole episode transpires with the events that happened in the episode before "Surprise." In that episode Buffy and Angel culminated their relationship in the physical sense. Anywho, he loses his soul and is reverted back to Angelus, the reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaallllllly evil vampire. He gives her the brushoff, acting like your typical man after sex. Sarah Michelle Geller gives one of the best performances ever. (She may or may not agree, but out of all the episodes I think this one tops it. Becoming Part 2 comes in reeeaaaaaallll close though).

Back on track, the gang riles together and come up with a plan to defeat the Judge, who had been assembled in the previous episode. Angelus almost kills Willow, but Jenny stops him. Jenny knows more than she's telling, lets just say that.

The whole rocket launcher thing was bloody brilliant (I'm not British BTW). I'm gonna stop rambling on and on and on and I'm just gonna tell you to watch the episode. Even if you don't like Buffy, if you know anything about acting and storytelling at all, then you should really enjoy this episode, if not blown away by it. I was blown away by it. I actually use it for inspiration and stuff when my storytelling isn't as good as it could be.
