It really is the greatest show ever.<br /><br />And agreed about Amy's evolution. I think she's one of the more underrated Whedon characters in that regard, considering how far she went and how she ended up. It's similar to Anne/Lily/Chantarelle, actually, another character that came out of nowhere and became a much bigger deal.<br /><br />About the witch test scene, I always assumed that she was playing along, and that Amy in her own body was never actually on-screen until right at the end. But, yeah, I get the confusion.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting, Chantarelle.maxpower03https://www.blogger.com/profile/11951553958753040457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730608556280912177.post-48672100108402624492012-08-08T00:15:33.825-07:002012-08-08T00:15:33.825-07:00Thanks for the reply on 1.1. Yep, Chantarelle has...Thanks for the reply on 1.1. Yep, Chantarelle has been my username almost as long as I've been using computers. Most people just assume it's my name. Feels a bit silly using it on Buffy sites where people know where I pinched it from, but I use it on everything and I don't deal well with change.<br /><br />I'm glad I stumbled on this. Other people might think it's unwelcome or unnecessary, but I just adore Joss and love any excuse to chat about his greatness. It keeps taking me by surprise how long it's been since this show was finished. Feels like just yesterday sometimes. Maybe that's because I was watching it just yesterday....<br /><br />While I can't say I dislike this ep, it's not up there with my favourites, though I am certainly a fan of Amy. And when you look at the other 6 seasons (or 7 if you've followed Buffy into the comic book world) her character is just incredible.<br /><br />However, one scene in this ep has bugged me for years. When the Scoobies do their spell, and the Witch turns blue, Buffy says Amy was as freaked as everyone, implying that Amy was in that body at the time, but it was Mum doing all the nasty stuff. I just don't get the spell working on Amy's body when she was in it, and even if it did, Catherine takes that body home at the end of the day and makes Amy do her homework. I know I'm being petty, but clearly we were supposed to think Amy was and wasn't the Witch at the same time, and I just think it could have been done a little smootherChantarellenoreply@blogger.com
