Bring On The Night

Andrew (I forgot about him) wants to be untied, because he has a bad feeling about things. Buffy wants to know why they should let him loose, and Andrew unconvincingly argues, "I admit, I went over to the dark side. But just to pick up a few things, and now I'm back." He concludes by saying, "I'm good again!" Buffy cracks me up a little by countering, "And when were you good before?" She stalks out of the room. Then any goodwill I had from that chuckle is lost as Andrew dribbles out another Star Wars reference. Could Andrew be any more one-dimensional? And there's no way he can make any fandom references that are going to amuse me, because at this point it is just so PREDICTABLE. I think the writers have a twenty-sided die that they roll to write Andrew's lines. Some sides say "whine," some sides say "snivel," some say "fantasy/reality problem," and the rest have the names of various fandoms associated with nerds. Roll the die a few times and you have all your Andrew dialogue for the episode. Andrew then yammers about redemption in what I think I could be some sort of meta-commentary on all the tortuous, angsty, self-important redemption happening on the show. However, it lacks any sort of satirical bite and could just be bad writing.
