1/10 - 1/17 Episode Discussion: Phases

[SpikedBuffy]

Time to discuss season two's episode "Phases"

I really like this episode. I like how Willow becomes a little more assertive. It's great to see her character grow.

[Lyri]

not one of my favorite eps, but it does have some redeemeing factors. i like the fact that it's Willow who kisses Oz rather than the other way around.

Larry and Xander is just the funniest thing to watch. i love how Xander gets so flustered, lol.

i'm sure more will come to me later, but it's, like, midnight here, so i'm a little zoned out! lol

[GATEGOD]

I really liked this episode, Oz was great, the way we see everything from him, his call to his aunt, him/xander and "i know who it is" when oz is trying to put on the shackles!! I loved it

[Kemy]

LOL Xander giving away how he remembered his Hyena days :P, well hours.

"Why do you have chains and stuff?" lol I love the look on Willow's face.

"Is Jordy a Werewolf?...yaha and how longs that been going on?" rofl.

One of the better Oz episodes of the season and series really, seeing Willow become more assertive as everyones said, a good performance from Xander despite the episode being more about Willow/Oz.

The hunter guy was creepy but seemed too much of a badguy of the week. Angelus facing down the Werewolf was cool. Giles giving an astronomy lesson rather than Demonology for once.

This, despite the werewolf thing, turned out, for me, to be the sweetest episode involving Willow and Oz.

Am I insane or isn't this just such a romantic conversation?

Willow: " I'm sorry about how all this ended up with me shooting you and all."
Oz: "It's OK. I'm sorry I almost ate you."
Willow: "It's OK."

And I find this a most meaningful exchange. It's so Willow and Oz!

Oz: " You are quite a human."
Willow: " So...I'd still if you"d still."
Oz: "I'd still. I'd very still."

Willow also positively glows here in this last scene. She really looked like a woman in love. Oz looked pale though. Probably because he didn't get to eat anyone.

Yeah, I agree this is one of the most romantic Willow/Oz episodes in the verse. You know despite the whole you know 'O is the werewolf!' thing.
And thee was a lot of funny moments in this well; one liners mostly with a lot of flirtation between Will and Oz.
I love when Willow comes running into the library telling Giles and Buffy that Oz is the Werewolf and when Giles asks of she's sure she says 'can't you just trust me on this?!' haha.

And the Xander/Larry interaction is fantastic. The look on Xander's face the moment Larry says he's gay is brilliant. And I liked how they kept up this theme till the end of season three; you know the whole Larry fully believes Xander's gay and he's oing him a favo by not telling anyone. and Xander being as Lyri said,all flustered when Buffy mentions Larry. 'can't we just accept he's not the werewolf must you continue to push and push?' Haha.

I love the Oz/Willow interaction in this ep. They are just the cutest thing ever. Apart from that I would say it is one of my least watched season 2 eps, I don't know why. Maybe because I was still in shock from bangel been torn assunder in the previous two eps.
