I really love this episode and your reaction. You are always so honest and expressive about everything and I love that about you. So don't YOU DARE CHANGE!!!! Just kidding hehe :-D The only thing I didn't really love in this episode is the ending. The network at the time made Joss do a christmas episode, so he had to make do. I think without all of that it could easily be at least one of the top 5 episodes in season 3. But that's just my opinion. Trivia: 1.) When Robia LaMorte was approached with returning to play Jenny, she agreed before reading the script. Robia, who is very religious, was very skeptical about playing the role of The First Evil, erroneously considering it basically the Buffyverse equivalent of Satan. 2.) The Mutant Enemy monster in the end credits wears a Santa hat and bells are heard when he says "Grrr Arrgh." 3.) Buffy's response to Joyce is a little longer in the original version: Joyce: "You know, honey, I was thinking - maybe we should invite Faith to spend Christmas Eve with us?" Buffy: "I'll ask her. Worst she can do is - well, the worst she can do is serious bodily harm, but she'll probably just say no." 4.) Joss Whedon has cited many times Buffy and Angel's fight on the hilltop as one of the best things he has ever written, especially the line, "It's not the demon in me that needs killing, Buffy. It's the man."

“Look, I'm weak. I've never been anything else. It’s not the demon in me that needs killing, Buffy, it’s the man.” Devastating insight into Angel’s self-loathing and a spectacular scene between DB and SMG. In “Lover’s Walk”, Angel was seen reading Sartre’s “La Nausée, which Joss Whedon stated was “the most important book I read in my life.” This episode is very existentialist, which is perfect for Angel, who has been agonizing over what he did in S2 and over what brought him back and why — Angel is searching for redemption and meaning and purpose. He seems to be lost without a known purpose (Angel thought Buffy was his destiny but that’s ruined now), and even though existentialism dictates that you make your own purpose, your own meaning, your own choices, this is also a universe in which greater forces are at work and there is prophecy, destiny, something called The First Evil, and miracle snow. It’s an interesting balance for the show to strike.
