\\nBuffy the Vampire Slayer season 5, episode 12, "Checkpoint":
\\n-Synopsis
\\n-Giles wants to punch himself a Watcher... or a whole council.
\\n-Retroactive pay = awesome.
\\n-Buffy vs. the Watchers Council
\\n-Buffy\'s inferiority complex rears its ugly head.
\\n-The Watcher\'s Council review is every time a female fangirl has had to prove her loyalty through recitation of basic facts (rolls eyes).
\\n-Anya has no chill and we love her for it.
\\n-Xander is NOT useless and we aren\'t here for the continued jokes about it.
\\n-We\'ve all been Matrix-ed. Dawn feels like a natural part of the show already.
\\n-The Knights of Byzantium are kind of random. Don\'t they know that whole \'the enemy of my enemy is my friend\' thing?
\\n-Glory is a god. What does this mean?!?!
\\n-Are the Knights of Byzantium the key to defeating Glory?
\\n-Spike and Buffy have harsh words, but she trusted him to protect Joyce and Dawn.
\\n-Spike and Joyce watching Passions is everything.

\\nAngel season 2, episode 12, "Blood Money":
\\n-Synopsis
\\n-The Angel-less Investigations team is still at work, even as they all definitely wish Angel was around to help.
\\n-While Cordy, Wesley, and Gunn are doing their own thing, Angel is obsessing over yet another blonde.
\\n-So, Anne is the same girl that we met on Buffy as Lily/Chanterelle.
\\n-She\'s definitely a lot more self-assured now, though, especially sans Ricky tattoo.
\\n-Merle is doing what Angel should be doing. Maybe he should offer his services to the Angel-less Investigations team?
\\n-Why is Angel acting like this?
\\n-Is Wolfram & Hart still the big bad we were afraid of last season? Lilah and Lindsay seem less threatening for sure.
\\n-Boone: how significant is he?
\\n-His integrity regarding not wanting to defeat Angel in the daylight reminded us of the Scooby-gang-not-killing-Spike discussion.
\\n-Does Angel have that same integrity?
