This week's: Q & A Seth Green, actor Birthday: Feb. 8, 1974 Birthplace: Philadelphia Home: Los Angeles Marital Status: single Working on: I'm on _Buffy the Vampire Slayer_, and I have several movies coming out--_Can't Hardley Wait_ with Jennifer Love Hewitt and _Enemy of the State_ with Will Smith. The last good movie I saw: _Dancer, Texas, Population 81_ I stay home to watch: _ER_ and _The Larry Sanders Show_. The book I've been reading: _A Confederacy of Dunces_ by John Kennedy Toole. Magazines I read: _Entertainment Weekly_, _Details_ and _Maxim_. Favorite pigout food: hamburgers. Favorite performers: Kevin Spacey and Robert De Niro, Susan Sarandon and Meryl Streep. Prized possession: I'm not married to anything material. Heroes: superheroes such as Spider-Man. He was cool because he was young and skinny and quick-witted. His intelligence was more important than his strength. People always think I'm: David Faustino from _Married...With Children_. Nobody knows I'm: close to 8 feet tall. I wish I could stop: saying stupid things. I'm better than anyone else when it comes to: lying. If I could do it over: I'm pretty pleased with the way things have turned out.

I liked how Amy's mom took over her body, because I didn't suspect that would happen. One of the only parts I didn't like was at the end where Amy's mom (in amy's mom's body) was like 'I see my enemy' or whatever and then buffy kicked down that thing so that she was looking at herself.

The title of The Witch easily could have applied to Cordelia in this episode. We see one of the many takes on her character and it's not a pretty one. Cordelia is portrayed as scheming and downright scary here. And what I think is different is that it's not really grounded in humor or her own special brand of blissfull cluelessness. Her appearance in the locker room when she accosts Amy -- or Amy's Mom, to be more precise -- reminded me of her "When it comes to dating, I'm the Slayer" stuff (without the scary lighting) from Halloween. But it was much nastier than that. Maybe I had just forgotten that this is what she was originally like. And call me superficial, but looking at Cordelia here and last week in KBD, it's pretty evident that her personality is not the only thing about her that has grown and become, how shall I say it, more three-dimensional. 2. Willow's fawning over Xander was pretty amusing. I especially enjoyed the quick "What's this?" -- "What's that?" when Xander gave Buffy the bracelet. I think her use of the term "Slayerettes" in this episode was the first and only time it's actually been uttered on the show. 3. Note how quickly Xander was willing to chop off Amy's head and kill her if it would make Buffy better. It's not just Angel: for Xander, if anything stands in the way of Buffy's well-being or happiness (as Xander perceives it), that anything's got to go. 4. This was a really good episode that proved the series could be successful with Buffy fighting something other than vampires. There was discussion a while ago about the show sending messages and this one does quite clearly. The pressures parents put on their children in general, or parents trying to relive their life through their children, and the evils of competitive cheerleading more specifically are obviously the backdrop here. As usual in this category of Buffy episode, it worked without being too preachy; probably because it's dealt with in such a non-standard fashion.

You have been warned... In short: A fairly solid effort. I'm of the opinion that the second or third episode of a new series must be the hardest to produce. One of my reasons is that the team has poured their heart and soul into the pilot in an effort to catch not only the eye of network executives who will put the show in the air, but also the eyes of we the cynical, jaded TV viewers. And so, pilots have to build a strong premise, with lots of promise. But then, you've got the second or third episode where you've got to not only keep that promise, but build on it. And looking back at the first season of Buffy, it's easy to see how much promise the show had in the pilot and how high the expectations for the second episode would be. And as a second episode, the Witch is a respectable entry. It builds on the humor, the relationships, and some of the underlying conflicts and tensions from the premiere episode. But it also expands the Buffy universe from just slaying vamps and the Master's minions every week to dealing with the other forces of darkness. And that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned because let's face it, slaying vamps every week would get old quickly. So, the Witch does well in that regard. But, as I watched last night, my biggest complaint was the overall lack of focus the episode had. Yes, I liked the parallel structure of Buffy and Amy both trying to get their mother's praise, but taking different paths to go there and I really liked the Xander sub-plot about asking Buffy out. But the problem was that there were lots of good ideas here, none of which got enough screen time to hold my interest for very long. You had the cheerleading tryouts and Amy and Buffy's desire to be part of them. But you also had Buffy's trying to bond with mom, the Scooby gang trying to figure out what's going on, and the exploration of the witchcraft. Another thing that bugged me a great deal (so much so that I rewound my tape and watched again) was the fact that it's hard to tell the exact moment at which Amy and her mom switched places. This is a vital plot piece, but I am not sure when it occurs. I have some ideas when it could, but other scenes disrupt my speculations. Surely Amy's mom wouldn't have taken Cordy's crap in the locker room. But an earlier scene in the science lab shows that Amy's mom has all ready taken over her body since the solution turns blue when spilled on her. I am not sure if there was some switching back and forth, but it seems like it would be a pain to keep casting the spell over and over if you could stay in the body you wanted. There's also the very real possibility that Amy would either tell someone what was going on or find a way to escape if she was back inside her own body. However, the idea that Amy's mom would switch places with her was nicely done and came as quite an interesting plottwist in the story. I admit that I've not seen a lot of the first season and I try to keep away from spoilers as much as I can for the episodes, so I honestly didn't see that twist coming a mile away. The brownies helping Buffy realize that Amy was in her mom was a nice touch. Another part I liked was the theme of the mother trying to relive her youth through her daughter and seeing two extremes. One was, of course, Amy's mom, but the other was Joyce, trying to get Buffy interested in being on the yearbook staff. Those were some nice touches that eleveated the plot beyond the standard evil witch does bad things cliche that it could easily have been. Overall, it was nicely done. Howver, as I said, it lacked some focus. I was interestd in Xander's pursuit of Buffy, but little came of it. I am assuming this wil be an on-going first season theme and am willing to wait it out and see. So, overall, it's a good episode that makes what could have been a less than stellar story into a good one. Not Buffy's finest hour, but certainly worth watching... So, that about wraps it up for now, except a few small things... --Giles almost giddy reaction to the other forces of evil coming to the Hellmouth was really good. Very interesting and in character. --Xander having all the books on witchcraft and his attempts to keep our heroes from finding out was funny as well. --The cat...was it supposed to guard the book for Amy's mom? If so, it wasn't doing so hot a job. I will yowl at you and then run away...yeah, great defense there. :-) --On that theme--when Giles reversed the spell and Buffy was healed, does that mean all the other girls were miraculously healed as well? My main thought was the burn victim--did her burns go away or does her body still have to heal naturally? --Why don't we see more of Amy? I think she and Buffy had a good dynamic going at the end last night. Is it the possibility that she would be one cast member too many? So, that's it for now. All in all, a good episode. Just not an instant classic. Maybe time will improve it for me. Final Rating: 7.0 (out of 10.0) Next up: On Tuesday, Xander becomes a lady's man in the funniest episode of season two. Monday, Buffy's got a date...and that whole slaying thing just might stand in the way.... Copyright 1998 by Michael Hickerson.

I suspect that >was at least a couple of years ago, anyone remember? Actually, a mom was so intent on her daughter being a cheerleader, she put a hit on a rival competitor's mom. The logic, (if that's what you could call it), was the rival would be so despondent over the death of her mother, she would not be able to try out for the squad. The whole thing blew up in her face and she's now serving time. It was a made for tv movie with Holly Hunter. Cheerleading and high school football are very, very serious here in Texas.

According to the scene in which Amy -- in her mom's body -- tells Giles and Buffy what's going on, the switch occurred "a few months ago". So my take was that all of the scenes of Amy were actually Amy's mom and there was no switching back and forth. She just tried to act like Amy at times so as not to arouse too much suspicion, for example her "Oh, how I hate this, let me count the ways" statement at the cheerleading tryouts. > Surely Amy's mom wouldn't have taken Cordy's crap in the locker > room. But she really didn't. She went home and cast that spell on Cordy. (Where the heck was the instructor's extra brake pedal in that driver's ed car?) She could have knocked any one of the regulars off the cheerleading team to move up a notch, but decided on Cordy.

Overnight ratings are based on viewing in only 40 of the largest television markets, not the nation as a whole. The 7th Heaven that preceded it got a 4.2/7. On the upside, Buffy managed to retain 90% of the lead-in provided by 7th Heaven. That's better than the 82% retention rate of the premiere of Invasion America that aired in the Monday at 9pm EDT time slot last week. On the downside, the raw numbers aren't as impressive. Invasion America got a 4.2/6, compared to 7th Heaven's 5.1/9 last week. Two weeks ago, a second 7th Heaven repeat received a 4.8/8 in that 9pm slot. The last time that a Buffy repeat aired on a Monday, it was Inca Mummy Girl on January 5th and it scored a 4.1/6 in the overnights.
