Hmm, well...I just can't make up my mind these days about the new people on
Buffy. I really have nothing against Anya, except that she ruins all my
fantasies about Xander and Giles together, but...can't expect Joss to
understand that kind of stuff. <g> I agree with Barb that Anya does have
some pretty damn good lines.
And as for Riley...I guess if Buffy and Willow can't be together, Riley's
an OK guy. He's 1000x better than Parker, that's for sure! I have to admit
that I thought his little pleas for Buffy's affection on last night's
episode were cute. Buffy just can't seem to get away from guys that are
just a little *strange*, tho...first a vamp, now a commando...
I do think that it was quite courageous of Buffy to decide she should be
with Riley after all she's been though. IMHO, they make a cute couple. And
maybe Buffy can teach Riley about fighting the forces of evil in a better
way than how the Initiative does it.

I wonder what happened to Willow's Wicca-group friend, Tara?

Just my two cents,
Amatia
