Season 3, Episode 7: Revelations
This was a pretty good episode, up until the resolution. Cutting off the arm is a brilliant idea, but doing it by throwing a piece of glass with enough accuracy and force to slice it clean off? M'kay...right. Aside from that, they did a really good job of making me uncertain of whether Gwendolyn Post was going good or bad, and I was going back and forth until the reveal. I enjoyed Lagos being used as a decoy.
The encounters between the gang and Buffy and Angel were pretty well done. Both sides have valid arguments. I was hoping Angel would do more to redeem himself of sorts, but I guess saving Willow was enough for now.
Faith is just okay right now. I haven't really grown attached to her at all yet. There's just something about troubled past that leads to trust issues that just doesn't hook me. Hopefully it gets expanded upon more. The fight between her and Buffy was pretty interesting. A part of me thinks that won't be the last time they square off, and I hope I'm not wrong.
Some comments on the season, I've really enjoyed how these first seven episodes have all been important to the overarching plot. I love continuity in shows, and this season is really providing upon that, allowing every episode to build upon each other. I don't expect this to keep up, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts. Sadly, Netflix has a new layout that previews the next episode while the credits of the one you just watched are rolling. The preview of the next episodes had a picture of Spike, so I don't get to be pleasantly surprised going into the next one. Lame.
