NOTES ON EPISODE ART: CREATED 02/2003 ~Funny, once you allow for the delicious vampWillow/vampXander images, which I didn't want to allow to run away and dominate this collage, there are really surprisingly few static images that call out to be included. I guess because other than that mesmerizing duo, what I always remember about this episode is the final "every one dies ironic deaths" scene, and that's all about motion and very difficult to capture. So instead of trying, I found me a nice angsty Cordelia, and a nice tense altBuffy and an interesting Master image and used those to anchor. Couldn't resist the despairing Giles profile and then finally gave in to those vampWillow/vampXander urges and included 2 over on the right. Caps used in this collage are courtesy of sounds of silence, buffyverse.info & Jessica's Captures. Many thanks!
