Storyteller is just as funny as I remembered. I do think it's one of the funniest episodes they ever did. And then the ending with Andrew realising, "this is how Jonathon must have felt" *sniff* Buffy/Wood were a bit more flirtatious than I would prefer mind you *g*
Lies My Parents Told Me was awesome of course. I did feel Spike was really harsh on poor Wood when he said his mother never loved him though. But then I prefer this more ruthless Spike, after getting the subdued version earlier on in the season. I enjoyed crazy Spike in the basement, and wish they had done more with the whole split personality thing from BY. People complained about basement Spike, but I loved that. How we got just little teases of him each episode and it was all the boards were mostly talking about after :p Once the writers had him as more part of the gang, and drifting round the Summers house, I felt his role started to blend in too much. So glad GID gave us back bad ass Spike. I remember on FF I was gasping just at the spoiler that he was going to drink from Wood, so it's nice that the show still makes challenging decisions with the characters, and can surprise us to the end.
And I don't think Buffy would have killed Dawn. She tells Giles she would, when he's pushing her, but I'd say the show immediately disproves that when she can't see Spike be murdered. And the episode ends with Buffy checking on Dawn and stroking her face.
Dirty Girls was just awesome! That episode is so underrated! Season 6 is the season of character driven drama, where a lot of episodes seem to drift along without much happening. And season 7 is the more plot driven season with some people upset at their favourite characters being neglected. Overall I do prefer season 6, but DG is definitely an example of what season 7 does best! It kicked ass! Faith's reunion with Buffy was perfection. Andrew's flashbacks of her *squeals* The whole war theme. I was gripped from beginning to end, even when having seen it all before. Casual viewers must have loved it. Xander's speech about Buffy was just adorable. And I love Caleb as the villain, and how it tied up everything that happened all season.
The only downside was the decision to have Spike lounging around topless like a porn star. It takes you out of the episode because it feels so forced and overdone. Otherwise I enjoyed Spike's scene with Faith. (There was no sexual chemistry there though, let us be clear on that). Oh and Buffy's hair was just er bad. Other than that! I was only planning to watch some of it before pausing, but from beginning to end I just couldn't stop watching.
I miss Buffy...

You hear of it as a good episode, but never spoken of as one of the greats. But I think it's one of the best arc episodes they ever did. DG stomps all over something like Tough Love if you compare episodes near the build-up to the end.

And Sleeper... ick, awful dead-souled ep, that's where the season started to really go to hell. Next step down was Bring on the Night (Bring on the Shite I call it), next after that was after they shoved Dawn aside in Potential, then next down was Dirty Girls and the finale plunge into 1 thousand percent decline was Chosen. The show declined in steps as the season progressed, getting worse step by step and horrifying the bejayzuz out of me.
(I don't like season 7. ;) )
