William! If some of these look familiar, it's because I've kinda done polls for this episode in the past. I'm a fan of recycling...but there's new people and maybe your opinion's changed! Also, new questions! Have at it! Seriously, I had to stop myself. I was coming up with far too many questions. It's not fair to the other episodes.
Let's do this!

1. After Buffy is stabbed by a vampire, Riley offers to patrol. Buffy insists that he take the Scoobies along with him. Reasonable?
| Yes. Buffy just got almost-killed by a regular vamp. Strength in numbers is smart. |

| Yep. Hence the whole talking about his greatness and effulgence and such |
| 89 (59.7%) |

My one problem with this episode is that I don't think the directing of the two Slayer fights matched the dialogue. We're told that the Chinese Slayer was "all business" in contrast to Nikki - but as I saw it, Xin Rong was doing all sorts of unnecessarily flashy poses and acrobatics and waving her sword about trying to look impressive, while Nikki was just getting down and dirty and brawling. She was the one who was all business.
