Some Assembly Required

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 bodies of several recently deceased teen girls are stolen from their graves, and most of the parts are discovered in a dumpster on school grounds. From the missing pieces, the gang deduces that someone has collected almost enough parts to build their own girl. Now, all they need is a head, and it has to be fresh...

--------------------------end recap--------------------------

Willow:  Jealous of what?
Buffy:  Of Xander.
Willow:  Because you did that sexy dance with him?
Buffy:  Am I ever gonna live that down?
Willow:  No.


Frankenstein / Bride of Frankenstein doesn't really work for this episode, or for that matter for the latter half of season 4.

Although there are no angry villagers for the finale, the monster does die by fire.

This marks the beginning of Jenny and Giles dating.

The end scene with Angel and Buffy, where they express the poignant yet doomed love for each other.


Foreshadowing

The morality of bringing a person back from the dead.

Xander:  ... I'll tell you this: people don't fall in love with what's right in front of them. People want the dream. What they can't have. The more unattainable, the more attractive.



My views/status of characters;
Buffy - like
Willow - like
Xander - like
Giles - like
Cordelia - like
Angel - neutral


Overall I consider this a poor episode compared to the rest of the season.
