Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 2, Episode 12: Bad Eggs
Written by Marti Noxon; Directed by David Greenwalt(a.k.a. In Which Buffy Learns The Joys Of Responsibility)
For such a small town, Sunnydale has a pretty large shopping mall! Sorry, that was my primary observation about this throwaway episode. (Of course, this was before the town was expanded to include its own university and international airport.) To be honest, I had virtually no memory of this episode, which isn't surprising given that it (along with last week's Ted) is sandwiched between the considerably more important two-parters What's My Line? and Surprise/Innocence. This is, for all intents and purposes, very much a Season 1-styled episode, and as such is not deserving of a particularly high rating, even if there's nothing seriously wrong with it (although I can't say the redneck vampires did much for me). By this stage, the show was consistently more or less competent, even when the plots themselves turned out th be underwhelming.
6/10
Next time: the double bill of Surprise and Innocence, the two episodes that changed the direction of the series forever.
