2x20: Lock and Key (Airdate: February 23rd, 2009)

[Emcee]

Dawn appears in Palo Alto, finally sick of running from her fate and gives Connor a difficult choice: killing her or letting the world die.

I am so happy to see this newest episode, but shocked just the same. So much going on. Excellent part. Can't wait to see what happens next.

I enjoyed this and cannot wait to see the next one. I don't know why I was surprised to see the Knights of Byzantium, maybe it is because so much was happening that I didn't expect anything else.

For next week's episode I am hoping for at least one scene of a Quortoth person saying how much he fears The Destroyer and Connor overhearing him (or at least something like that).

you know, at first I thought Matty probably did die in transport... but then I thought, hey wait, they haven't mentioned it before, and angel and spike have already died way more than enough times for it to be remotely meaningful, so it must be Gord, Gord IS DEAD.

and now we've found out just how much danger Matty has to be in before Andrew can admit to himself and others that Matty is his boyfriend...

I just kind of always figured that with all the death and destruction that these people are constantly surrounded with that it shouldn't be that difficult to say what they're feeling, or to just sit the fuck down and talk about what misdeeds they've done so it doesn't blow up in everyones faces (here's lookin at you, scooby gang)

Also, Go dawn! who knew the brat could be so smart in a time of crises, no one else has or ever will be. (with the exception of Anya, of course... but then she was alive for over a thousand years, had to've done something right)

Am I the only one who thought it was weird that Connor managed to get out of his own broody bubble to worry about how Andrew was taking his boyfriends disappearance? normally the main hero only seems to really care about his girlfriend, best friend and any female on the team

which I guess is still better than real life where everyone spouts off about "bros before hoes" right before they take their girlfriends side(you know, the one who's been sleeping with both of them) and punch out the guy they've been friends with for decades)

and dawn better watch out, pretty soon she'll have more parents then Connor (then again she already does, doesn't she? Joyce, grace and about 4 monks)

Edit: forgot about dawns absintee father

And Buffy, who became her legal guardian after Joyce's death - they kinda flip flop in their relationship, going between 'sister and sister' and 'mother and daughter'.
