I’m really not too sure how I feel about the “villain” in this episode. Was she really a villain, or was she just a normal human being trying to live a completely normal life? She didn’t seem to act as any other villains act in the previous episodes. And her drive to stay alive was extremely strong when she realized that she was in love with Xander. This episode hit me a little different than all of the others. There were a lot of parts that were very interesting. I didn’t really understand everything till it neared the end. At first I thought that Empada was evil after she sucked the life out of the original foreign exchange student, then her behavior persuaded me that she was legit. Near the end when she said that she would suck the life out of Xander, I was left confused. She enjoyed living so much, and at first she wanted to live just for Xander. I understand that taking the lives of others so she could live wasn’t right, but I could kind of see where she was coming from. She had a legitimate motivation to stay alive, but she had to make a sacrifice. Buffy could relate to Empada because Buffy cannot live a normal life either. I liked the fact that Xander found a legit girl that cared about him also. I did feel kind of bad for Willow though, but near the end I wanted her to meet the guy who played guitar in the band. Maybe she would have liked him, and everyone would have been happy. Maybe, I don’t know. All in all, it was a good episode. I look forward to watching the next one.
