Memorable Moments:

Buffy's "I was feeling like a tool" as she appears in her ridiculous DoubleMeat outfit.
Buffy's "holy crap" as she watches the training video (which brings to mind "The Meat Council Presents: `Meat and You: Partners in Freedom' from the Simpsons. "Don't kid yourself Jimmy. If a cow ever got the chance, he'd eat you and everyone you care about!" -- the transcript of the whole scene is at the end of the page linked above)
Spike's sincere concern that working in fast food is beneath her (sound familiar?)
Dawn with a moment of maturity and sisterly sympathy, realizing how bleak Buffy's future is in comparison to her own.
Willow's steely rejection of Amy.

NOTES ON EPISODE ART: CREATED 02/2002 ~The amount of time I can stand having learned a new trick and not having used it on a collage yet is about 2 seconds. And so, I pronounce the official beginning of the era of the custom brush with this collage. Many, many thanks to Val of Touchstone's Art for sharing her wisdom with me, and to Nocturna of Dirty and Grungy Brushes Bureau for creating the wonderful brushes I used in this collage. Between the two of them, they may well have created a monster. (and btw, X-files devoté or not, you must see Val's art!) This collage started getting interesting around the time I started playing with curves & exclusion blending to flatten out the images and selective colors to give it that kinda brownish-greyish-pink feel. Then I used the Angled strokes filter in conjunction with a texture overlay to swirl everything together. And only then did I let myself play with the custom brushes to dirty up the edges. Need a little more practice, but lots of potential there, can't wait to experiment more!
