Two random, Buffy related thoughts

[angelchicken]

1) Watched Entropy this morning on FX. It's been a while since I have watched any Buffy eps (What with the submerging myself in fic to stave off the denial) and I really loved the ep. And I never see it on FX because I leave my apartment at 6:25 in the morning and Buffy doesn't come on until seven.

Anyway, while watching Entropy I realized that the ep really was the apex (apex?) *consults dictionary* Apex of my Xander loathing. Now I like Xander; he was, in fact, my favorite part of the show for some time. But his self-righteousness and reprehensible behavior pissed me off more than is probably healthy for a television character. God, he just made me furious. He didn't get it! And he had no right to speak to Anya like he did at the end of the ep. The going after Spike I understood (whether or not I liked it is a different matter, but not the point) but he had no right to be pissed at her for finding solace with someone else, even if it was someone he hated. Fucking bastard.

Of course, then he had to go and kind of apologize to Buffy and eventually (I suppose) make amends with Anya (and she did slap him in Never Leave Me. Hee!).

But he was so far in the wrong, there are just no words. *grumble*

Second- Anya thought: They almost halved her. Literally. In Chosen the Bringer almost cut her in half. Poor Anya. So very gruesome and horrible and I know she went down fighting, but wow I miss her. *sniffle*

That is all. Happy Memorial Day, all.

Aw, I think he was just hurting. After all he didn't just hear about it...he SAW it no more than a few minute before lashing out at her. Seemed like a normal reaction to me.

Totally agree with the Xander loathing. I really disliked him in the later seasons; he's never been a fave character of mine though.
