I'm glad I watched it and taped The Shinning (which rules so far!!). I thought at first that there wasn't going to be much to do with a demon in the computer but Buffy pulled it off greatly and instead of making it look like a B-flick, it was a entertaining hour of fun. I LOVED XANDER in this episode!! He was his witty self yet he was very helpful. Anyone remember the part when Buffy jumped over the fence and poor Xander landed on his stomach! (Ouch!) That was great. The only one that really suffered though was poor Willow. This is the second guy (sorta) that's broken her heart. She's such a sweet person and she doesn't deserve that even if it's a robot or not. Giles's got a girlfriend!! Giles 's got a girlfriend!! Oh boy!! Ms.Calendar sure has Giles in a frensy. The chemistry between them as great!! "Techo-pagan" Geesh. Did anyone besides me notice that at the end when Willow, Buffy and Xander were talking by the water fountain and when Willow said that no guys like her or something, that Xander looked down and started rubbing his hands together. Maybe he does love her but he just doen't want to say it!! Agg!! So confusing!

I still love Angel (the episode) best (and I miss him, I hope there are more Angel episodes before the new season..I was glad that they mentioned him in that morose, touching ending), but I thought this was a really good episode. I agree that it's nice to see Giles hanging out with some adults..people will start to think he's a child molester or something..(I still think it would be fun if he went out with Buffy's mom, although I do find Buffy's mom annoying so giving her more airtime might be a mistake). There were some great lines..the *it helps us talk good* one (and his defensive I paniced when Buffy questions him).. and Xander got to hit someone, that was really cute...actually I think both Willow and Xander became a little more self sufficient in this episode. Willow attacked the robot and Xander attacked that guy. They are still Slayerettes but at least they are getting a little more action. Of course I thought Buffy was great...I love it how she's always getting tossed against the wall or falling flat on her face but because she's a slayer she isn't hurt :) She just bounces off those walls like a little rubber Buffy ball. High mortality rate At my school, when someone dies they put a page memorial in the yearbook..at Sunnydale the whole yearbook would be memorials with a couple pictures of the still living stuffed in the back.

And I like books, but it's not too hard to see >that in another 10 years, CD-ROMs are going to replace most printed books. Eh, possibly, but I kind of doubt it. Reference works, probably -- CD-ROMs are *so* much better than a twenty-volume encyclopedia (although we need DVD to really get a *complete* encyclopedia -- the ones that exist today are good but kind of abridged in content.) But for fun reading, I can't see CDs taking over books. Most people I know *hate* reading fiction from a computer screen. Curling up with a good book implies spending at least an hour with it -- if I spend that long in front of the computer reading constantly my back hurts and my eyes get dry and it's just very unpleasant. If I find fiction I want to read while surfing, I make a printout and then read *that.* I like to read a book lying on the couch with a blanket around me, or, in the summer, lying out in the park on the grass. Somehow I just can't see it being the same with a computer. Even a laptop.

But in all I did not like the way she was acting. It seems to me that she was being mean to everyone, for no reason. Sure you can say that Moluch was responsible for it. But she seemed to be mean to Buffy after the first night, of talking to "Malcom". Now it seems that Buffy has been nothing but a good friend, to her. Okay so Buffy has unknowingly stolen Xanders heart, but that is really not her fault. Willow's first romance as it were just seemed to alienate her from her friends. Maybe Willow is not really as good a friend as Buffy is to her? That is the impression, I got from the episode. -Mike- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Apr 97 18:02:15 PDT From: James Walsh Subject: Re: BUFFY: I Robot... star trek reference circle of kayless? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Apr 1997 18:18:34 -0500 From: "Sharon A.

Actually, I was thinking of when we get like 2-inch-diameter CDs and hand-held CD readers with really good screens and speakers. When that happens, the practical advantages will be so overwhelming that even book-lovers (I'm one of them) will really have to think about using CDs instead. I mean, look at what happened to vinyl records only 10 years ago. The advantages of CDs were so big that now, vinyl records are strictly a nostalgia item.

I don't think this is really a spoiler but just to be on the safe side, I'll take the usual precautionary measures... Okay, more obscure and violent trivia about Moloch: His name, also spelt Molech, is related to melech, the Hebrew word for king. According to ancient tradition, Moloch was portrayed by a hollow bronze image in the form of a human with the head of an ox. The hollow figure was heated up by a fire inside it, and children were thrown in as sacrifices, while drums and cymbals were played to drown out the screams of the victims. The Bible (Leviticus 20:2) specifies that any Israelites who sacrifice their children to Moloch shall be stoned to death.

She was speaking vocally to the computer, it was talking back, and your only problem with it was the speed of the response??????? *grin* A more serious response: If the MUD/MUSE/whatever you are talking on runs on a reasonable system, then the greatest lag time appears to be due to your connection. She was at school, probably ethernetted, much faster than your standard home modem connection. The response times they showed seemed fairly typical for a talk connection on a good day, for example. I would also allow them significant artistic license - it would be rather boring for us as the audience if we had to wait through lag, or if the scenes were silent.

Just to balance things out, I suppose I should be offended at the way they kept showing off Buffy's body with more incredibly tight shirts and short skirts. And furthermore, that grautuitous crotch shot under-the-skirt of Willow towards the end there is patently offensive. (Please read all of the above with a sort of sarcasm.) >> Since everyone else is talking about it, I too have noticed Buffy's wardrobe, or lack thereof....

I agree that it is was somewhat wierd, but do not have any actual chatroom experience to compare it to. However, the time was probably compressed to save time for the rest fo the show.
