What I like about it: It was a really fun idea to wipe the slate clean and see how the characters then got on with one another. I particularly enjoyed the Giles/Anya pairing, the Giles and 'Randy' scenes, and the Joan and Randy scenes of course. Plus Spuffy kiss at the end <3

What I don't like about it: They could have used blankslate Xander and Dawn in a more imaginative way, personally I found the moment when Buffy and Dawn realise that they're sisters a bit on the cheesy side. The show was having so much fun with the other characters and their connections, so it was a shame they didn't come up with much for Dawn and Xander

Favorite line: 'Stay away from Randy!'

Best performance: They were pretty much all great, but Giles and Anya were probably the ones that stuck out to me the most in this one, they were really fun together

A scene/idea from it that's particularly interesting to me: I thought it was interesting that Xander and Anya were the only ones of the main couples to show absolutely zero interest in one another after their minds were wiped

Something I would have changed to make the episode better: I don't know that it would have made the episode better, but I wouldn't have portrayed Dawn as running off and rejecting Tara, even though she knew that Tara was only moving out to guard her mind from Willow. I know that Dawn was only 15, but that scene made her look pretty self-centered

Really though! It was meant as "they really aren't good for each other" or it was just casual? Interesting point!

I agree on Anya and Giles, their bits were hilarious!

It seemed mostly casual to me, probably an indication of how little the writers cared about that relationship in fact! It was certainly noticeable when you contrast it with Willow/Tara's attraction being pushed so strongly though, and Buffy and Spike really connecting as well, yet Xander and Anya barely made eye contact with one another. TR made a Giles/Anya shipper of me lol
