Great read on the Nice Guys of Season 5. It's like all Nice Guys want that Manic Pixie Dream Girl (to steal a phrase from the AV Club), but once they have her, they want her to be normal and will do everything in their power to change her. I like Anya's peculiarities. I love Buffy's strength and fortitude. This is one of the episodes that point out why it's so hard for me to get behind Xander - that and the fact that I will always project my issues with my brother onto him (stop putting me down, dumbass - my peculiarity IS CALLED CLINICAL DEPRESSION . . . er, sorry you had to see that!), but yeah. Word.
