- Quotes
Rupert Giles: She's right. You mustn't blame yourself.
Buffy Summers: I'm not going to...
[gets out of bed]
Buffy Summers: I'm going to the crime scene to see what I can find out. You guys research the Polgara demon. I wanna know where it is. When I find it, I'm going to make him pay for taking that kid's life. I'll make him die in ways he can't even imagine.
[long pause as Willow and Anya look at Buffy then she looks down at herself]
Buffy Summers: That probably would have sounded more commanding if I wasn't wearing my Yummy Sushi pajamas.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Gift (2001)
While we have seen Project 314 before this episode gives it a proper introduction. It becomes clear that this creature, dubbed Adam by its creator, is an amalgam of human, demon and robotic components... a modern day Frankenstein's monster. While it is too soon to say whether Adam will prove to be a good 'big-bad' we get a good introduction and so far he seems interesting... even if the fact he has a floppy disc slot makes him amusingly old fashioned when viewed now. Away from the action Willow and Tara's friendship is developing and Anya is amusingly possessive of Xander. We also see that the demon community isn't impressed with Spike's activities with Buffy. Overall a solid episode which raised as many questions as it answered while setting things up for future episodes.
