Lyrics: Great, thanks. I didn�t want to be harsh and say, �Don�t write them,� but they really were distracting. Reading dialogue and reading lyrics use different parts of my brain, and it was difficult to switch back and forth. It was like having a conversation with someone and being repeatedly interrupted by a person spouting poetry. I can process one or the other, but not both at the same time.

Grammar: Hope I didn�t sound too �school-marm�. I don�t flip out whenever someone uses a preposition at the end of a sentence or whatever, but following basic rules makes the writing so much clearer.

I liked the humor of �Dissonant,� and quite a shocker at the end!

�Unreality� had a great premise, although I didn�t follow why some things were changed. Why didn�t Tara die? I don�t recall Anya having much effect on the trio�s activities. A little flashback or explanation on that would have been nice. Still, the loss of Tara again was a heartbreaking scene.

I�m also intrigued by the implication that helping Buffy is endangering Xander�s career. It�s something that was touched upon in �Life Serial� and �Hell�s Bells,� and I�m glad it�s been picked up as a theme here. It�s a fresh slant on �Buffy inadvertently puts her friends in danger.� And it goes along with the adult themes BtVS has been addressing. Losing your job is no big deal when you�re a teen, but it�s an issue when you�re twenty-something and supporting yourself.

As for the X/B thing�I enjoyed it at first; it was sweet and cute. It�s less entertaining now. How many times can these two save each other�s lives? Even Angel didn�t save Buffy this much. The Freudian slips and accidental embraces are getting to be a little tiring. We�ve been down this road before. But I�ll reserve judgment until I see where the story is going.
