Retro Recap: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 5.7, “Fool for Love”

Retro Recap: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 5×05, “No Place Like Home”

Retro Recap: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, S5.E4, “Out of My Mind”

It’s not about him. It’s about us. You’re getting stronger every day, more powerful. I can’t touch you. Every day, you’re just… a little further out of my reach.

Retro Recap: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, S5.E3 — “The Replacement”

On my seventh birthday… I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn’t get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real fire trucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me. […]
