I love all of those moments, especially when she says "you can never hope to grasp the source of our power" before ripping out Adam's heart :loves:
I know, right? (And then Riley walks in, whatever.)
There actually is one moment in that ep that bothers me that probably shouldn't, I guess - the zombified versions of Walsh and Forrest are genuinely scary to me because they are superstrong but they are still partly themselves - and Forrest's dislike for Buffy from before is magnified by this IMO. But there's something about the callback to Becoming ("What's left?" / "Me") which was SUCH an awesome moment that to hear it repeated "What else you got?" but then have Riley answer "Me"...Ok, I know it's supposed to be awesome and ties in I guess with the whole "Buffy's isolation theme" (maybe)? It just struck an off note for me, esp watching the show last year all at a go (within three weeks); I might have felt differently watching it on tv back in the day. (Then again the writers had a very different opinion of Riley than I do apparently.)
