- Quotes
[first lines]
[watching Indian Bollywood-type television program]
Xander Harris: Is she dying?
Buffy Summers: I think she's singing.
Xander Harris: To a telephone, in Hindi. Now, that's entertainment. Why is she singing?
Willow Rosenberg: She's sad because her lover gave her twelve gold coins. But then the wizard cut open the bag of salt, and now the dancing minions have nowhere to put their big Maypole... fish thing.
Xander Harris: Uh-huh. Why is she singing?
Buffy Summers: Her lover? I thought that was her chiropractor?
Willow Rosenberg: Because of that thing he did with her feet? No, that was personal.
Xander Harris: Hmm, and we thought just because we didn't have any money or any place to go, this would be a lackluster evening.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Gift (2001)
The story in this episode is great and the execution is splendid. The fraternity is very cult-like with robes and a well placed base of operations. At the center of this episode is the unknown workings of the very secretive fraternities, you just don't known what might lie at their center (The Skulls is an other movie that deals with this issue). The acting is good while not breathtaking and the effects is just great, the snakelike patron is perhaps the best made effect in this episode (yes, yes I known that given the possibilities in our day and time it could be better, but this is/was not a million dollar budget) but the cave or cellar is also good. An 8 out of 10.
