Buffy 3x19 FULL Reaction

Willow has truly had some fantastic moments this season, and this episode was another one with moments going in her highlight reel.  Also, more Snyder is of course an automatic win

My favourite Willow episode is yet to come, but I love all Willow episodes :D

Hello from Alaska! Still catching up on all the Buffys (and then Angels). My opinion on the Mayor's poor security regarding the box is pretty simple: hubris. The Mayor always had enormous confidence veering into arrogance, and I imagine that his newfound invulnerability increased his confidence to brand-new heights. Couple that with his likely belief that *no one* could possibly know about 1) the Ascension rituals because *he* has the books, and 2) his possession of the box and its importance to the Ascension. No doubt he felt that a magical shield, motion detector/alarm, and Vampire guards would be enough, because he wouldn't have had a clue that Buffy and the Scoobies would even know about it, let alone come for it. Anyway, that's the conclusion I came to as to his lackluster security. Even when he realized they were on to him, no doubt his overconfidence is what led to him having a *single* Vampire guard on the hostage Willow. Good thing she learned long before to master floating a pencil and emotional control even under duress! We had a prior clue as to the lack of security, when the Mayor was attacked by Balthazar's Vampire minion with the sword, who had gotten into the Mayor's office and hid in his cupboard. I always figured that the Mayor was overconfident and convinced that no one but his closest allies/minions knew about his plans or even that he was a villain at all.
