It's not the Infinity Gauntlet... |
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
(season 3 episode 7)
A new Watcher named Gwendolyn Post arrives for Faith, she immediately begins to annoy everyone, including Giles, who she claims she is also monitoring and reporting to the Watcher's Council on. She also informs them that a demon named Lagos is in Sunnydale looking for a powerful artifact known as the Glove of Mynhegon.
The plot of "Revelations" does involve some demon / end-of-the-world type stuff as one might expect for an episode named after a chapter of The Bible. However, like a lot of Buffy titles, it has a double meaning. The big revelation of this episode comes when Xander sees Angel is alive, then follows him back to his lair where he observes Buffy and Angel kissing. This upsets all the Scooby Gang, who try to have an intervention to stop Buffy from seeing Angel - with predictable results.
The Good:
- Willow and Xander's first kiss
- Buffy vs. Faith, again
- awesome effects
- more than once a character just stands around waiting to be attacked
- this episode is pivotal in the development of Faith every scene with her is important
The Verdict:
***1/2 out of *****
