i thought the opening scene between Xander and Willow was really sweet...especially when he wanted to lick the ice cream off her nose! (stupid vamp)
Cordy's slight turn towards the other Scoobs, was good, she even took it upon herself to try and bring Buffy around, which was something she wouldn't have thought of doing the previous year.
Buffy's dance with Xander was HOTT! ('danced with' is kind of a loose term. 'mated with...') and i love that song, by Cibo Matto.
and i also love the song that plays over the end scene, when Buffy, Willow and Xander are in the classroom...i just don't know who sings it!!

This is one of my favorite episodes for some reason. I watch it a lot. I like how they had Buffy acting all bitchy because of what happened to her when she fought The Master. If it would have been any other show, they probably wouldn't have her be affected by that in any way but here they did it perfectly. I also kinda liked bitchy Buffy LOL

This episode was also the one where Anhel and Cordelia became more important to the series. If you look at it, Cordelia appeared in this episode a lot more than she usually did in the first season. I also love her little crush on Angel, "I'll go see if Angel feels like dancing." It's weird seeing that knowing that in the future they will fall in love with each other. Angel was also good in this ep. I felt bad for him when Buffy was acting all mean towards him. Like Cordelia, he had a more important part here than he usually did because he finally became a regular.

I love Buffy's sexy dance with Xander. The song they used for that was perfect.

The plot with The Master being brought back was okay. I felt like they could have done it better. But I still think it was a good episode.

9/10

i agree with the Angel and Cordelia bit, they definitely became a bigger part of the show than they were in the previous season. i liked how Cordy stepped up and promised Buffy that shw ould keep her secret...and Buffy's reply was hilarious!! 'You won't tell anyone I'm the Slayer, and I won't tell anyone you're a moron.'

Yeah I loved this episode, I loved that Buffy was so freaked by her own death that was such a cool idea. And watching Bitchy Buffy was so funny. That scene with Willow and Xander and the Ice creme is so nice, It really makes you wish they had, Then that scene where she purposely puts in on her nose, was so sweet, Alyson played it perfect. And that dance scene between Xander and Buffy was AMAZING! So funny to watch, the look on Xanders face as she walks away is priceless.

Yeah I wasn't to mad on the whole resurrect the Master storyline, That wasn't that exciting!

i didnt really like this episode, but it had its moments. i liked the xander/buffy dance, which i think EVERYONE does. i liked the song too. and i felt bad for willow with the whole xander thing, both at the bronze and in the beginning how the vamp interrupts them. i remember that after my friend and i watched that, we were playing that game that willow and xander play in the beginning. that was fun! :) i also liked how jenny was in it cause i liked her. finally, i found it interesting how buffy reacted to her death and the ordeal with the master and stuff. it is like forshadowing to the future. she is always having these reactions, like after she kills angel, she runs away and stays in L.A. for a while. or after she comes back from heaven and she feels like life has no meaning, and also sleeps with spike and stuff. its classic buffy and its interesting how these things are set up so early.

I just really love the attitude from SMG in this ep. It's just like her acting in Cruel Intentions.

Was anybody hoping for a little Buffy/Xander lovin? I love their dance in the Bronze.
