These snapshots may contain SPOILERS for the entire series, so if for some reason you haven't yet seen some of the episodes and do not want to know what is going on, read no further.
----------------------------recap----------------------------
The new principal forces Giles to run Sunnydale High's annual talent show, and Buffy, Willow and Xander have to perform against their will. As if this isn't bad enough, things go further awry when one of the talent show participants is found with her heart removed. Buffy and the gang race against the clock to find the killer, and all the clues point to Morgan and his ventriloquist dummy.
--------------------------end recap--------------------------
SNYDER: Kids today need discipline. That's an unpopular word these days, 'discipline.' I know Principal Flutie would have said, 'Kids need understanding. Kids are human beings.' That's the kind of woolly-headed liberal thinking that leads to being eaten.
Introduction of Principal Snyder. I quite enjoyed this the first time watching, but loses its novelty after repeated viewings. Its a murder mystery, and when you know the ending it loses its appeal. For first time watching it would pass as good, but I've come to expect more from Buffy.
Cordelia 'sings' the Whitney Houston hit 'The Greatest Love Of All' during the talent show rehearsals. She's so bad, you'd think she's beating a cat with a hot iron.
Yet another of the only eight episodes of the series not to feature at least one vampire. Its interesting to note that four of these eight episodes appear in the first season. That's 1/3 of the episodes for the first season, quite a lot, considering the title of the show.
The end credit sequence, with Buffy, Xander, and Willow has me in stitches every time.
My views/status of characters;
Buffy - like
Willow - like
Xander - like
Giles - like
Cordelia - neutral
Angel - absent
The Master - absent
Overall I consider this a poor episode compared to the rest of the season.
