What's My Line? pt. 1

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----------------------------
It's "Career Week" at Sunnydale High, and Buffy is faced with the reality that she has no future apart from her destiny as the Slayer. Meanwhile, in order to stop Buffy from interfering in his plans, Spike sends four deadly assassins to ensure the Slayer has no future. Also, a mysterious girl is following Buffy and Angel around, and Xander and Cordelia are trapped in Buffy's house after being attacked by one of the assassins.

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

BUFFY: A whole week of 'What's My Line?' only I don't get to play.


Good character development, average dialogue and an average plot.

Even Bianca Lawson, the actress paying Kendra, didn't like her accent. Another nitpick, Kendra and her apparent ability to survive asphyxiation. Aircraft holds are not pressurized, despite what Hollywood will have you believe.


Willow and Oz finally meet - having almost done so in previous episodes "Inca Mummy Girl" and "Halloween"

The term "Scooby Gang" is used for the first time.

Willy’s Place is seen for the first time.

Cordelia and Xander kiss.

Despite dialogue in this episode to the effect that the Order of Taraka never calls off an assassination once hired, the next episode, "Ted," reveals Angel to have persuaded the Order to do so.



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

Overall I consider this an average episode compared to the rest of the season.
