Amy, you were right about this return of Buffy thing. It's gonna be so great watching them all from the beginning and being reminded of who did what to who, etc. Things I noticed from the first episode were (1) While the looks and dress sense of everyone else in the series will improve over time, I don't think I've ever seen an episode, other than this first one, where Angel and Xander looked hotter. Xander had a really good shirt on, and a lovely sweet young face, and Angel was wearing a black velvet suit. Mmmm. However, he did seem rather too suave and playful for someone consumed by irreconcilable guilt every moment of every day. Whatever, it's all downhill lookswise for those guys from here on in. (2) Buffy really looks her best the blonder she is. These early darker tresses just ain't cutting it, and I don't think her fashion is going to get good until the final two seasons. (3) As if Darla would be afraid of Buffy! Come on! As IF !!! (4) Who knew the gang started out with Willow, Xander and a guy called Jesse? I had completely forgotten about this longtime childhood friend of theirs [who will no doubt be killed off next week]. Hmmmm, it's gonna be fun watching the details emerge out of the fog of early Buffy memory. I am, however, dreading the onslaught of hairclips.
