shadowscastI just watched "The Harvest" and "Once More, With Feeling" with two friends. They came over to my place, K-the-boy brought leftover Chinese food, K-the-girl petted my cat, and I made salad. It was wonderful.
New things I noticed in "The Harvest" this time:
Hee, Xander was a wannabe skaterboy! Anyway, he was riding a skateboard (badly) in "Welcome to the Hellmouth," and he had the wallet chain. His clothes had a skater look, too - the big pants, the camo shirt. I guess it was just a phase.
It's very possible that Jesse, for the brief time he was a vampire, was actually part of Spike and Angel's extended family. Odds are good he was sired by the Master or Darla, or possibly by one of the Master's other get.
Xander kicks a garbage can when Jesse dies; Xander punches a wall when Joyce dies. He expresses grief by hitting inanimate objects. Not a terribly surprising thing, but interesting to see the long-term character continuity.
Willow was a hacker before she ever started dabbling in the Dark Arts. Okay, okay, I did know this - but watching "The Harvest" really drove it home. She was doing illegal things for fun because she liked feeling smart and powerful. Her character arc starts right there.
