Episode Talk - Which Next?

"Lover's Walk" and "The Wish" were both on the list for discussion -

Think "Lovers Walk" is an episode that is a favorite and one that would be fun to discuss - We could go with this episode for this week and maybe do "The Wish" or pick-up after "Helpless"  -

I can start "Lover Walk" - and then we can make the choice for next episode - We could also discuss 2 episodes in the same week - open to suggestions

Sounds good to me.  I think we should toss "Dopplegangland" together with the "The Wish."   Many of the elements of Willow's personality pop up in both and make the comparison inevitable anyway.  Two episodes (well two episode threads, I mean) a week is fine.  Heck, its not like the threads are going anywhere.  We could always push the discussion forward for a week if the discussion wans.

let's go with "Lover's Walk" and then do both "The Wish" and "Dopplegangland"  next week.  Does anyone have a suggestion to do with LW or should we go alone on that one?

I like LW particularly because it shows a good combination of Vamp & Vamp William, makes a good starting point for the transformation of Spike's journey arc -

I like the idea of combining some eps for various reasons. A while ago someone mentioned a thread that would focus on the episodes that involved prophetic dreams and I like putting those together instead of separated by season. I would love to do Lover's Walk, though the only thing I can think of that's of interest in The Wish and Doppelgangland is Willow's character, and not much else. It's not vital to the story arc or anything.
Also, later we should put together Bad Girls + Consequences definitely, though I'm not sure about Enemies being added. And of course Garduation Day 1+ 2 belong together.

My own preference would be to keep the discussion centered on more of the season arc simply because it helps me to keep focused on the main characters for the season - Faith is such a major part of the season and I feel like we have not even discussed her at all -  While all of the episodes are connected, some are more vital to the major arc.

What are the ideas for doing "Lovers Walk" now and then doing "Bad Girls" and "Consequences" together.  I know that the idea was to keep to the chronological order but maybe we can change that for just a bit.  After we do these three we could then do a combination of either Scooby Vamp AR or one with The Zeppo. 

For now I will start the discussions for "Lover's Walk" -

Anyone have particular suggestions on themes in "Lover's Walk"  that they might want to bring into the discussions for starting points?
