Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 3, Episode 4: Beauty and the Beasts
Written by Marti Noxon; Directed by James Whitmore Jr."All men are beasts."
Years before Marti Noxon got to swing the Baseball Bat of Anti-Metaphor full-time in her capacity as showrunner, she took a few practice swings with this bludgeoningly clumsy parable for domestic abuse. I don't have much to say about this episode, other than that it annoyed me with its heavy-handedness and overly simplistic outlook.
On a side note, it's no wonder people consider Angel's return to be completely botched, given that it occurs during this decidedly below average outing. He somehow managed to find himself a rather fetching pair of trousers, though, despite his feral state.
Overall rating: 4/10.
Next time: Homecoming.
