----------------------------recap----------------------------
An invisible force is attacking the students and teachers at Sunnydale High. Buffy and the gang must find a way to stop this unseen menace, and determine why it seems to be centering its attacks on Cordelia.
--------------------------end recap--------------------------
BUFFY: (to Cordelia) So you've come to me for help.
A decent episode. We get a closer look at the loneliness/alienation experienced by Buffy as opposed to Cordelia and Marcie. Good example of Buffy's selfless nature after being excluded and yet still supporting Cordelia and giving her encouragement.
A good attempt at adding some depth to Cordelia, by showing her as more than just a bitch queen. She actually starts acting human around Buffy when they are alone, but she still has a ways to go, as she demonstrates with her boyfriend at the end.
Giles finally meets Angel, who then recovers the rare Pergamum Codex for him.
First of three episodes to feature invisibility. Season Six episode "Gone" where Buffy assures her friends that her invisibility is not a result of the same condition as Marcie's. This is again seen in the Season Seven episode "Storyteller" when Buffy witnesses a girl slowly disappearing.
Almost forgot that, "Crush, kill, destroy"; was the famous phrase of IDAK Alpha 12 from Lost in Space.
Just love the Scooby Doo t-shirt Willow is wearing in this episode.
The US government involvement at the end of the episode is a great lead in for season four's Initiative.
My views/status of characters;
Buffy - like
Willow - like
Xander - like
Giles - like
Cordelia - neutral - hint of humanity showing
Angel - neutral
The Master - absent
Overall I consider this a good episode compared to the rest of the season.
