Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 3, Episode 5: Homecoming

Written and Directed by David Greenwalt

Well, it's better than Beauty and the Beasts, that's for sure, but it's still not great. It has moments that I like, the introduction of the Mayor and Faith's ownage of Scott Hope being the high points, but the whole Homecoming plot bores me to tears with its silliness, and the affair between Willow and Xander has got to be one of the worst ideas in the history of the series. It makes no sense, and seems to have been forced in for the soul purpose of driving Xander and Cordelia apart in Lover's Walk - which could have been achieved in countless other ways.

Overall rating: 6/10.

Next time: Band Candy.
