F A V O R I T E EPISODE *EVER* !!!!!!!!!!! omg i LOVE this friggin episode. it shows all their personalities without the super-heavy emotional context. It's so perfectly placed too in the middle of such a charged season. "Ready, Randy?" "Ready, Joan." Good grief how i love that episode.
As a French speaker it always gets me by surprise when anya shouts "abri voyant" (showy shelter) at the end of her spell, it makes me wonder: what was written precisely in the script? Was it like a phonetic transcription of what she should say or just a "speak gibberish" note in which case she would just happen to sound French for no reason (which seems to be the most plausible explanation) or did the spell include some random french words that have no meaning (would the whole spell be meant to be in French and i just happen not to understand it like the scene where giles speaks French in restless) or is it in another language completely and i just happen to understand as French because it's my native language. That minute detail has bugged me for so long and rhe ramble is so pointless that i had to let it out
