|
| | |
|
People's nightmares begin to come to life as a boy lies in hospital in a coma. |

Great quotes: |
|
| | |
|
 | Willow the Soprano? |
- Buffy: "What am I, knowledge girl?"
- After Willow asks too many questions Giles responds: "Willow, do shut up."
- Giles: "No, that (dreams coming true) would be a musical comedy version of this; no, our nightmares are coming true."
- Xander: "You were a lousy clown, your balloon animals were pathetic! Anyone can make a giraffe."

Fantastic moments: |
|
| | |
|
 | Xander has some freaky nightmares. |
- Several of the nightmares are funny, a bunch of nerds drag Cordelia into the chess club while a 'cool' biker dude has an unexpected visit from his Mum while in the middle of bragging to his mates.
- What sorts of things does Xander dream about? Everyone has had the 'naked' nightmare but being chased around a Nazi school by a psychotic clown after being lured there by chocolate bars is just weird.

Duff Bits: |
|
| | |
|
- Does anyone else think that Billy looks a little too much like the Anointed One? A poor jobs from the casting crew there.
- So why exactly is Billy allowing nightmares to come to life? Is this another 'we're on a Hellmouth therefore no more explanation required' episode then?

Dean's comments: |
|
| | |
|  | Hank Summers. | Some good comedy and dream-state moments for Willow, Giles and Xander that help to cement their characters, each of their nightmares to well-tailored to suit them and so provide come insight into their heads. The idea of having a literal representation of the evil in the boy's dream as a baddie that Buffy can kill is a bit lame though. The episode is a bit disjointed too; the various dreams of the characters seem out-of-sync, it probably requires a second viewing to work out precisely what's going on. | |
