1) Wow, it has been a long time since I've watched American TV. All the rolled Rs and round, high-in-the-palate vowels are really discombobulating. Still, my ear acclimatises very quickly.
2) I have seen Sleeper far more times than any person should see a single episode of TV. I'm so un-swept-up in it that my eyes pick up the join between every single shot and every single continuity blip - and yet it is still my most favourite episode of the series.
3) Every time I watch this run of episodes I think I'm going to have to watch hard for the Spuffy, because everybody knows it only comes in minor flashes... And then I remember that the pair of them flirt or chat like buddies or reference their relationship in every single scene they have together, and it's all good again.
4) Anya is very, very excellent, especially in Potential.
5) Xander is great (especially when you skip back to the menu before the closing scene of Potential, because I don't care how much better it was than I remember, that speech is on my cringe list), especially when shaking his head with a fond exasperation at Anya.
6) I actually like the potentials when there are only five or six of them. They should have kept it like that. Rona amuses me at this stage in the game - and, yeah, I thought this last time and I'm thinking it again: I like Kennedy; the world has ended.
7) Andrew... Why do we always have to fight?? Seriously, he cracks me up, no repentance.
