21st Century Media

21st Century Media was an American media company. It was the successor of Ingersoll Publications and Journal Register Company, and it was succeeded by Digital First Media.

The company operated more than 350 multi-platform products in 992 communities. On April 5, 2013, the assets of Journal Register Company and its affiliates were sold to 21st CMH Acquisition Co. The Journal Register Company then became known as 21st Century Media.

The company was led by CEO John Paton. He argued that the Journal Register needed to transform from a newspaper company to a "digital first, print last" company. Paton, formerly CEO of ImpreMedia, initiated this change on February 1, 2010, by announcing he would provide all reporters with Flip video cameras as a sign of his commitment to the company's digital transformation.

In 2013, MediaNews Group and 21st Century Media merged into Digital First Media. Digital First Media is owned by Alden Global Capital.

Properties
The company owned daily and weekly newspapers, other print media properties and newspaper-affiliated local Web sites in the U.S. states of Connecticut, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It also operated 3 commercial printing facilities.

21st Century Media's flagship daily newspaper was the New Haven Register. Its ten largest daily newspapers (approximate daily circulation over 20,000) were:

 * New Haven Register of New Haven, Connecticut (76,664)
 * The Oakland Press of Pontiac, Michigan (63,174)
 * Delaware County Daily and Sunday Times of Upper Darby Township, Pennsylvania (43,520)
 * The Macomb Daily of Mount Clemens, Michigan (42,045)
 * The Trentonian of Trenton, New Jersey (Sunday: 26,500)
 * The News-Herald (Ohio) of Willoughby, Ohio (39,453)
 * The Daily Local News of West Chester, Pennsylvania (27,087)
 * The Morning Journal of Lorain, Ohio (26,777)
 * The Mercury (Pennsylvania) of Pottstown, Pennsylvania (21,080)
 * Daily Freeman of Kingston, New York (18,492)

History
In 2004, JRC bought 21st Century Newspapers, gaining ownership of several daily newspapers in Greater Detroit.

In 2006, JRC bought the Web site JobsInTheUS.com. It is also a major shareholder in consulting company PowerOne Media. That same year, the company moved its headquarters to Yardley, Pennsylvania from Trenton, New Jersey.

In early 2007, JRC completed the sales of its former Massachusetts and Rhode Island newspapers to GateHouse Media and RISN Operations, respectively.

In early 2008, the New York Stock Exchange announced it was planning to suspend trading of JRC's common stock. The stock had been below $1.05 for 30 consecutive days, at one point falling to 16 cents, which was the all-time low at that time. The stock was delisted as of April 16.

On February 21, 2009, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the US Bankruptcy Court, located in Manhattan, New York, NY.

On August 12, 2009, JRC emerged from bankruptcy as a private company.

On March 17, 2010, the company named an advisory board composed of Jeff Jarvis (author of "What Would Google Do" and BuzzMachine); Jay Rosen of New York University, and Emily Bell, the director of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University.

On March 11, 2010, the company named Bill Higginson, Journal Register's former Senior Vice President, Production, as the company's president and COO. On March 4, 2010, the company named Jeff Bairstow as chief financial officer. Bairstow joined Journal Register after working for Synarc Inc., a leading provider of medical imaging analysis, subject-recruitment and biochemical-marker services.

On September 5, 2012, Digital First Media, parent company of JRC, confirmed the group had again filed for bankruptcy protection.

On April 5, 2013, the assets of Journal Register Company and its affiliates were sold to 21st CMH Acquisition Co., an affiliate of funds managed by Alden Global Capital. The Journal Register Company then became known as 21st Century Media and continued to be managed by Digital First Media.

The West End Horror

The West End Horror: A Posthumous Memoir of John H. Watson, M.D. is a Sherlock Holmes pastiche novel by Nicholas Meyer, published in 1976. It takes place after two of Meyer's other Holmes pastiches, The Seven-Per-Cent Solution and The Canary Trainer, though it was published in between the two.

The plot concerns a series of strange murders in London's theatre district at the end of the 19th century. It also includes a first meeting between Holmes and Doctor Moore Agar, whose "dramatic introduction to Holmes" was one that Watson, in the original Arthur Conan Doyle story "The Adventure of the Devil's Foot", wrote that he "may some day recount."

The West End Horror made The New York Times Best Seller list for eleven weeks between June 13, 1976 and August 22, 1976.

Plot
The book is written in the form of a false document. It opens with a foreword by Meyer, who states that the manuscript was brought to his attention by a woman with some familial connection to Horace Vernet, an ancestor of Holmes. The woman had read The Seven-Per-Cent Solution and thought Meyer might be interested. Although damaged by water, the manuscript proved authentic.

Dr. Watson explains in his own preface that he did not publish the story because of the number of well-known persons who would be affected - persons whose identity would be impossible to disguise. Holmes had for a long time refused Watson permission to write the story on these very grounds, but Watson eventually persuaded him by promising to place the manuscript in Holmes' hands, the only condition being that he not destroy it.

The story involves many well-known people, including George Bernard Shaw, who hires Holmes to look into the death of an unpleasant theatre critic; Sir Arthur Sullivan, one of whose singers at the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company was another victim of the murderer; and others including W. S. Gilbert, Oscar Wilde, Bram Stoker, Henry Irving, Ellen Terry and Frank Harris.

In the novel, Holmes clears the name of a shy Parsee Indian wrongfully accused of murder; in real life Conan Doyle played a significant part in helping George Edalji, a Parsee victim of injustice in the English court.

Faith, Hope & Trick

"Faith, Hope & Trick" is the third episode of season three of the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This episode introduces the character Faith, another vampire slayer, who will become a key player in Sunnydale. While the rest of the gang gets to know Faith, Giles suspects that Faith and Buffy aren't being entirely honest about recent events in their lives. Some new vampires arrive in Sunnydale with their own agendas and a familiar face returns. It was written by David Greenwalt, directed by James A. Contner, and first broadcast on The WB on October 13, 1998.

Plot
Kakistos and his colleague Mr. Trick arrive in town, discussing how they will kill the slayer. Having been overruled by the school board, Principal Snyder reluctantly allows Buffy to return to the school on the condition that she make up for the classes she missed. Buffy and Willow go to the library, where Giles questions Buffy about what happened the night she killed Angel and defeated Acathla, ostensibly to help him with a binding spell to prevent the demon from being resurrected.

That night at the Bronze, fellow student Scott Hope attempts to talk to Buffy, but she becomes distracted by a suspected vampire leading a girl outside. Buffy and the rest of the group watch as the girl kills the vampire. The girl introduces herself as Faith, a new vampire slayer. Cordelia realizes that the death of Kendra, a previous slayer, must have activated Faith. The group and Buffy's mother Joyce take a liking to Faith, but Buffy remains skeptical. Kakistos and Trick plot revenge on Faith for mutilating Kakistos' face.

That night, while the slayers are patrolling together, they are attacked by vampires. While Buffy struggles with several vampires, Faith focuses only on one, beating the vampire repeatedly instead of helping Buffy. Giles tells Buffy the vampires were working for Kakistos, an ancient vampire with cloven hands and feet. After leaving the library, Buffy runs into Scott, who tries to ask her out on a date. Buffy accepts, but she runs away very disturbed when Scott hands her a Claddagh ring like the one Angel gave her. Giles tells Buffy that Faith's watcher is dead, not at a retreat center as Faith had said.

Buffy goes to see Faith at her motel room and tells her Kakistos is in town. Faith tells Buffy that Kakistos murdered her watcher some weeks earlier in Boston and he swore revenge on her for mutilating him with an axe. As Faith tries to leave, Kakistos and a group of vampires break into the room. Buffy and Faith escape through a window, but are driven into Kakistos' lair. Buffy fights and slays many of the vampires while Kakistos attacks Faith. Eventually, Faith impales Kakistos with a large beam, killing him. Trick flees with another vampire.

Inspired by Faith standing up to her fears and conquering them, Buffy finally reveals to Giles and Willow that Angel was cured when she killed him. Although she is skeptical that the information will help with a binding spell, Buffy feels better for having told them. After Buffy leaves, Willow approaches Giles to offer her help with the spell, but Giles tells her that there is no spell; he wanted Buffy to open up about what happened between her and Angel.

Buffy talks to Scott and, after explaining her reaction to the ring, they make plans to go out. She returns to the mansion where she killed Angel. Buffy places her Claddagh ring on the ground and says goodbye. After she leaves, the ring starts to vibrate and Angel returns from hell.

Writing
"Faith, Hope, & Trick" introduces the minor character Mr. Trick. After Principal Robin Wood and Kendra, he is the longest-running character of color in the series, with 5 appearances. According to Elyce Rae Helford, in an unusually long speech for such a minor character, he "overtly clarifies the racial metaphor underlying the show's narrative by comparing African Americans in Washington, D.C., with vampires in Sunnydale and by conceiving both as equivalent examples of 'darkness.

Cultural references
Buffy complains to Joyce, "I’m the one getting Single White Femaled here." This is a reference to the 1992 movie Single White Female, which starred Jennifer Jason Leigh and Bridget Fonda as roommates. Leigh’s character, who is obsessive and manipulative, exhibiting borderline personality disorder, begins to copy every aspect of Fonda's life and take over her persona.

Reception
Vox ranked it at #50 of all 144 episodes on their "Every Episode Ranked From Worst to Best" list, writing, "Now Faith is here, and things can really get started."

Noel Murray of The A.V. Club enjoyed the characterizations: "If the first two episodes of Season Three showed anything, it's that our core ensemble has become nicely rounded-out since the end of Season Two. With Oz in the picture, Joyce in the know, and Cordelia much less dim, there's more functional members of the slaying circle, which leads to a more complicated and entertaining rhythm to the interplay. ... Everyone is at their sharpest, wittiest, and friendliest. They're a pleasure to be around. So, naturally, Joss Whedon and company decide to shake things up." He praises how the Buffy team keeps "the season's master-plot moving swiftly ... They're ratcheting up the intensity awfully quick here."

Billie Doux, giving a rating of 3 stakes out of 4, calls the episode "well balanced and a lot of fun." She discusses Faith as a "threatening" and "darker version of Buffy" who invades every facet of Buffy's life. She admires the second new character, writing, "Mr. Trick is a hoot, especially in the drive-through scene and the pizza delivery scene. He's a modern, practical vampire with computer skills. No vengeance gigs for him." Above all, "The best part of this episode is the way Giles subtly maneuvers Buffy into talking about what happened with Angel." She also notes some new details, among them:
 * Joyce learns that Buffy died in "Prophecy Girl."
 * It is established that vamps do not need an invitation to enter motel rooms.
 * Angel tends to be wearing white whenever he bleeds.
 * "There is a Watcher's retreat every year in the Costwalds, and Giles is not invited," although he should now be "the most important Watcher in the world."

Mark Oshiro examines at some length how the introduction of Faith "piggybacks on the emotions of "Dead Man's Party." Buffy had already dealt with feelings of inadequacy, and suddenly someone arrives in her life who can seemingly do everything she can do better, and all her friends and family are excited about this."

appetite

 * Buffys' asking Faith if she's hungry after the slaying of Kakistos is an indication that they share some similarities. This is confirmed in later seasons, when Dawn mentions that the first place Buffy goes after slaying is the refrigerator.

The point of mentioning this is not clear to me. It's OR, and fortunately not necessary: Faith says shortly after they meet (iirc) that slaying makes her hungry and horny; Buffy, embarrassed, agrees with the first part. Anyway, so what? Of course intense physical activity makes them both hungry. —Tamfang (talk) 08:21, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Declaration
Following a reply of mine at the Teahouse some time ago, I have offered to assist an editor who is concerned about a WP:COI in editing this article directly (see also thread immediately above this one). He has sent me an off-wiki set of suggestions for minor alterations and appropriate sources or concerns over any statements already in the article (nine relatively minor suggestions in total). This is just to say that I will slowly work through that list, and treat them as if they were an edit request. If I find anything contentious, I undertake to bring it to this talk page for discussion and agreement. I have no other connection with this editor, save for a general interest in Antarctica. Nick Moyes (talk) 09:30, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

A request from Tim Foley
Editors working on this topic may want to be aware that I have just been asked by @ to incorporate assertions from his book into this article. I declined. See the discussion at User talk:BrownHairedGirl (permalink)

My response is long, but in summary i have told Tim that while I understand his enthusiasm, he has been way too pushy for way too long. WP:NOTHERE beckons. Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:44, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

 * I note in 's message on 's usertalk page that the main impetus for change (or proxy editing? or PP removal? or some other action that I am not following) is that (in Timfoley50's view) the current version of "the article contains a number of errors". When Timfoley50 raised this first in 2018, when prompted for more detail, the "errors" seemed to amount to (minor?) variances between sources. For example a potential variation in number of siblings (varying by source). Or the day of week on which something happened in Dec 1916 (again minor variances by source). I'm not sure if it is the same text that is in question, but I personally struggle with the suggestion that Timfoley50's research should "trump" other sources. In any article, where otherwise reliable and verifiable sources vary slightly, we either express both. For example: "depending on the source used, Crean was one of either ten or eleven siblings}}). Or we reword to account for both: "On 15" In December 1916, he was promoted}}". The suggestion that one source (ANY source) should be given primacy over other ALL OTHER sources is questionable. At the very least, the proposing editor should explain what issues are believed to exist. And we can then consider how to handle each. Full blown dismissal of other/prior/reliable/verifiable sources is unlikely to be an appropriate solution.... Guliolopez (talk) 21:41, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * That seems like a fair summary, @Guliolopez.
 * I would also add that there is the question of what WP:WEIGHT to add to a new secondary work. If there are reviews commending the scholarly integrity of the new source, or if it is positively cited, then that adds to the weight. However, when the author comes here to say that they are promoting the man, then that significantly diminishes the weight. A hagiography is not a good source for contested points of fact.   Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 22:06, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I do think that when conversations on here resort to personal affronts, the identity of any accuser should be verifiable. I'm quite open about my own and have no reason to hide behind any username, so in that regard, are you BrownHairedGirl, prepared to openly state under your real name that my book is a hagiography that should be discounted of the sources within because of that belief? Timfoley50 (talk) 22:22, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * And since our last exchange in 2018, editors informed me that a self-published account could not be considered as a credible source in order to implement changes. To suggest that my work on Crean, should 'trump' other sources appears to be an accusation of your own making and is untrue.
 * Yes, among the falsehoods was that Crean was one of ten when he was one of eleven siblings and I have the evidence or is evidence not considered when compiling Wiki articles? On what basis would you suggest that it be reworded to account for both unless you have evidence to confirm he was one of ten siblings? Do you?
 * Tou say 'The suggestion that one source (ANY source) should be given primacy over other ALL OTHER sources is questionable' You make it read like I requested this. Where do you guys get off on throwing false accusations about?
 * I want the article for Tom Crean to be as accurate as it possibly can be and for it to tell the fullest picture of his life as it is able ti regardless of the origin of valid sources that are used to compile it. Timfoley50 (talk) 22:10, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Tim, see Reliable sources. That sets out the principles which editors apply in using sources.  In a nutshell, secondary sources are not all equal.
 * Also consider the satirical essay WP:THETRUTH.  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 22:19, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi . I only mentioned the "siblings" concern because, absent any explanation/expansion on what errors actually remain, I could only refer to the "errors" that you mentioned back in 2018. I am not proposing further changes to that text. Not least as the number of siblings was already updated (to reflect the DIB entry) back in 2021. As per my previous notes, unless you can expand on what errors you believe remain, it is unclear what action you are proposing that other editors take/make/support/comment-upon.... Guliolopez (talk) 13:48, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
 * And in response to your damning summary of my request I want to clarify that I wish to incorporate alterations to the article based on researching Tom Crean's life and career that I has been ongoing since 2017. I'm more than happy to provide any editor the sources that I presented to the Royal Irish Academy in order to implement those changes. You tacky assumption that I am merely promoting a book is made without foundation. Ironically, the fact is that if you had written and researched his life and all your sources had been validated, I'd be right here doing the same - promoting the man. Timfoley50 (talk) 21:47, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Tim, please note that one of Wikipedia's core policies is WP:Neutrality. I recommend that you read it carefully.
 * If you are as you say here promoting the man, then you are not here to build an encyclopedia.  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 21:57, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Aha!! So, a lack of passion for the subject you write about is what makes for a good Wikipedia editor? As, does a lack of respect in the case of certain editors it seems. Timfoley50 (talk) 22:29, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Source discussion
Nice. Time to rewrite an article, methinks. So to summarise, the article relies predominantly on webpages, three memoirs from a century ago (Shackleton, Huxley and Cherry-Garrard), and a variety of popular sources. Hopefully, I can reorganise them in such a way that the article doesn't have to go to FAR. Anybody think this is a waste of time? I'll leave this question up for a week, in case anyone does. AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:31, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
 * (Discussion from User talk:Timfoley50) Out of interest, which sources on this page do you consider "scholarly" and not "popular and accessible"? AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:17, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Request to begin discussions on changes/additions
For a number of years now, I’ve been attempting to bring about changes to this article as can be testified by the discussions on this talk page. On occasion, a strong passion to see alterations take place, got under the skin of a few others here and in hindsight, I get that - Rome wasn’t built in a day. Some sceptics saw my requests as being self-serving, after all, I’d written a biography about Tom Crean and I would stand to benefit from the changes if they were implemented. From the outset I had declared a conflict of interests but, try as I might to convey that my motives were entirely unselfish, they were still viewed on with suspicion by some and so I walked away for a period.

My biography of Crean, which I published in 2018, was a self-published version yet I discovered a host of new information during my research and I became aware that a number of things that populated the Wiki article for Tom Crean, were incorrect.

To try and get a better understanding of how alterations could possibly take place, I contacted the administrator of Wikimedia Ireland, via Twitter. At this time I was aware of the Wikipedia policy that rendered self-published books of low value when it came to sources used in evidence to provide integrity to a Wiki article. Her suggestion was to approach the Royal Irish Academy and attempt changes via the Dictionary of Irish Biography. I submitted all of my research to RIA and, after examination, changes to the DIB entry for Crean were implemented.

Wikipedia picked up on a number of the alterations and because they couldn’t be attributed to my research for a self-published book, they were instead attributed to DIB.

Any barrier to referencing my book in the Wikipedia page appeared to have been removed when, in May 2023, my biography of Crean was published by Merrion Press, an imprint of Irish Academic Press. However, an editor, who has since been blocked, took issue with this stating that books under the Merrion Press imprint did not qualify as being ‘scholarly’ The spat that followed led to an indefinite block being put on me by another editor who I believe is also now blocked.

My block has now been lifted and I'm extremely grateful for that. What I would like to propose to help kick start the process and, if there’s a consensus among editors here, is to provide a list of changes/additions for discussions to begin.

For fear of creating what could be considered a wall of text I’ll end things at this point and will wait to hear feedback from others in the first instance (Timfoley50 (talk) 15:26, 13 December 2023 (UTC))

 * Hi. I will not reply with another "wall of text" so will simply ask that any proposed changes please be:
 * clear, concise and specific. Not vague and expansive. (EG: "Section A currently says 'Crean did XYZ in 1913'. Propose changing to 'Crean did ABC in 1912)
 * supported by verifiable, reliable and specific sources. Not vague and expansive (EG: "DIB entry expressly says 'blah blah ABC 1912'". Not "My research suggests [etc etc no specific ref/page/quote/whatever]".
 * made only after discussion here. (Not least as, it seems, that some of the sources vary slightly in a few areas.)
 * (Otherwise the above is another 500 words about "my book" and "my biography" and "my publisher". And, as per my note of July 2023, it is still unclear what ACTUAL text changes are being proposed.) Thanks. Guliolopez (talk) 16:06, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Added to what Guliolopez has written above, there's also, obviously, the option of citing the sources you found when doing your research, rather than exclusively relying on DIB. Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 17:46, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Just to give a TL;DR version on the previous block on Timfoley50 (in case anyone can't follow along the events that unfolded). Timfoley50 followed proper protocol by declaring COI and sought comments on proposed changes on this very talk page. An editor, now banned by ArbCom for unable to work collaboratively with others, took Timfoley50 to ANI. That discussion was cut short when Timfoley50's usertalk page was revoked by an admin which turns out to be a sockpuppet of another ArbCom indef banned user. Timfoley50's block was reviewed by the community and it's decided to give a second chance since nobody would have known how the conversation would have turned out if it wasn't touched by two indef banned users who played a significant role in the outcome. I agree with 's example. It will be very beneficial to have an itemized list of things that should be revised (as precise as possible). And sources should be diverse. If multiple sources conflict with each other, it is possible to cite both versions, e.g. After returning in November 1916, though some source say October 1916, instead of focusing on stating the "right" version. OhanaUnitedTalk page 15:52, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Thanks for that, but just for the record, BrownHairedGirl's ban was in no way related to this article or editor. Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 18:45, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Well... it was more about BrownHairedGirl's general unwillingness to collaborate and battleground mentality. But we're going off-topic here. OhanaUnitedTalk page 23:39, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @OhanaUnited Thank you for clarifying and before submitting proposed changes to the article, am I able to attribute the relevant changes to Crean - The Extraordinary Life of an Irish Hero in which all source references are detailed in the back matter? As I've mentioned before, I would be happy to provide all the evidence to an editor/s who, unlike myself, don't have a COI relating to the article. The only way I was able to have changes applied previously was via DIB who I submitted all my source evidence to and who were attributed in the notes for this article. Since that time the biography has been published. Timfoley50 (talk) 13:37, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Beauty and the Beasts

"Beauty and the Beasts" is the fourth episode of season three of the horror-drama television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was written by Marti Noxon, directed by James Whitmore, Jr., and first broadcast on The WB on October 20, 1998.

When a boy is found mauled to death on the nights surrounding the full moon, Oz is suspected. Buffy has to deal with the fact that Angel is back from a hellish demon dimension, broken and animalistic.

Plot
The day of a full moon, Xander and Giles learn about a brutal murder in the woods the night before. They discover that Xander had slept through his watch of the werewolf Oz, and that the window in the library rare book pen, where Oz cages himself, is open.

Buffy begins to open up about her life to Mr. Platt, the school psychologist. On patrol that night, Angel attacks her in the woods. Animalistic, he is no match for Buffy, who chains him up in the mansion. She sees the spot on the floor where she left his ring; it was scorched by Angel's body on his return. Willow, Xander and Cordelia enter the morgue to collect hair samples from the body of the mauled boy.

Buffy tells Giles that she had a vivid dream of Angel coming back. Giles explains that time passes differently in demonic dimensions, so any being who manages to return would most likely have been turned into a monster. Buffy wonders if Angel was responsible for the murder; the hair samples were inconclusive. She returns to Platt's office to pour her heart out, then realizes that he has been mauled to death.

When school classmates Pete and Debbie sneak into a room to make out, Pete discovers that one of his chemistry jars has been emptied and accuses Debbie of drinking its contents. Pete yells at Debbie, then transforms into a monster. He tells her that he used to need the substance to turn into the monster, but now only needs to get mad. He begins beating Debbie, blaming her for making him mad. As he transforms back into his human form, she forgives him.

Oz is no longer suspected, as Platt was killed during the day. He meets up with Debbie and notices her black eye. Buffy and Willow seek out Debbie, and try in vain to talk sense into her. Meanwhile, Angel breaks free from his shackles, and Pete finds Oz in the library. Pete turns into a monster and starts to beat up Oz for talking to Debbie. The sun sets and the tables are turned when Oz transforms into his werewolf form, Oz becoming evenly matched in strength, and begins fighting Pete. Buffy tries to tranquilize Oz, but Debbie pushes the gun away and Buffy ends up shooting Giles. Buffy chases after Pete while Willow and Faith pursue Oz.

After a struggle, Faith sedates Oz with a dart. Buffy follows Pete's blood trail, but he finds Debbie first and despite her pleas and attempts to appease him, he kills her. Buffy finds Pete, but he knocks her to the ground and advances threateningly on her. Angel arrives and he and Pete begin fighting; Angel uses the chains that still bind his wrists to kill Pete. Afterwards, he reverts to his human face and calls out Buffy's name before falling to his knees and embracing her in tears. Buffy begins to cry as well, finally accepting that Angel is back.

Themes
According to Erin Waggoner, "Beauty and the Beasts" is an example of a Buffy episode that condemns aggressive masculinity. It shows a male student hoping to appear more virile by using a potion, resulting in a Jekyll and Hyde-style change of character and the physical and verbal abuse of his girlfriend.

Reviewer Billie Doux rated the episode at three out of four stakes with the observation, "Someone's monster boyfriend is killing people — but which one? ... Here we have a fairly typical abusive relationship: the abuser, Pete, blaming the abused, Debbie, for his behavior ("You know you shouldn't make me mad, you know what happens"), Debbie making excuses for Pete ("It's me — I make him crazy") but then we have that extra added touch, because Pete has been drinking something fluorescent that has made him Mr. Hyde."

While watching over Oz while he is a werewolf in the cage, Buffy and Willow take turns reading passages from Jack London's 1903 novel The Call of the Wild, which is about a domestic dog who survives abuse and eventually joins a wolf pack.

Reception
Reaction to the episode was mixed.

Vox ranked it at #119 of all 144 episodes on their "Every Episode Ranked From Worst to Best" list, writing, "Sure, the monster of the week here is a little bit ham-fisted: it's a Jekyll and Hyde metaphor about how abusive relationships are bad... But the rest of the episode does a fantastic job of balancing the episodic stuff with the Willow/Oz and Buffy/Angel stuff, and continuing to explore Buffy's grief and guilt over having killed Angel last season." Paste Magazine, in a similar list, ranked it at #115 and wrote, "I love it when Oz gets off the sidelines for more than comic relief and Seth Green does a great job portraying one of the most tragic characters in the Slayerverse, but man, this one has way too much jammed into it." However, it is "a perfectly serviceable (albeit a bit too on-the-nose) MoTW/Oz-centered episode about domestic violence."

Roger Pocock writes, "This week it is Faith's turn to supply the metaphor: 'all men are beasts'," but he argues that the metaphor "doesn't ideally translate to the specific issue Buffy is facing." Still, "The traumatic aspects of the episode are nicely balanced with a little bit of humour, and a lot of fantasy mash-ups." With pleasure, he lists the "line-up of battles: Mr Hyde vs the Wolfman, Wolfman vs Slayer, Slayer vs Mr Hyde, Mr Hyde vs Vampire." Mike Loschiavo also enjoyed the call-outs to classic Universal Pictures films and said, "Season Three of Buffy continues taking us on the emotional journey with the cast following the story through the characters, but it manages to still give us episodes that are very clearly defined. It's a very unusual approach but one that I feel is paying off in spades."

Justin Carreiro of TVFanatic.com argues that Scott, Pete, Debbie, and Mr. Platt should have been introduced in earlier episodes, so that the audience would have some emotional investment in them. "The debate over Oz's transformation and the murder could've been answered with simple logic." Besides, "A lot of exposition was included in one scene to answer all the questions that weren't shared beforehand... The glowing green liquid was the be-all-end-all answer for this Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde curse." However, he did like the "amazing comedic chemistry" of Cordelia, Xander and Willow.

Mark Oshiro commented that "this show really knows how to capture the awkwardness of high school," and with the issue of domestic violence, "Marti Nixon did a fine job." Noel Murray of The A.V. Club criticized the episode: "The pacing is too slack; the jokes too sparse; the tone too preachy. The cast is ill-used... though I appreciate the idea of a Buffy episode exploring how male aggression affects the women in their lives, I thought the theme was handled pretty ham-fistedly here. The episode turned into a PSA against abusive boyfriends, when there were so many more subtle ways to have tackled this topic."

Homecoming (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

"Homecoming" is the fifth episode of the third season of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was written and directed by David Greenwalt, and first broadcast on The WB on November 3, 1998.

Old enemies have returned to kill the Slayers and when Cordelia is mistaken for Faith, she has to help Buffy fight for their lives.

Plot
Scott Hope breaks up with Buffy the day after asking her to the Homecoming Dance. Buffy continues to feed a weak Angel in secret, telling him the others would not understand that he is now better, and no longer the evil Angelus.

At school, Buffy is monitored by two men in a van who are somehow connected with Mr. Trick. They overhear Buffy mention that a limo will pick up both her and Faith to take them to the Homecoming Dance. The gang sends Cordelia to remind Buffy that yearbook photos are about to take place, but Cordelia is too busy campaigning for Homecoming Queen. After discovering that her favorite teacher does not remember her, and that it was Cordelia's fault that she missed yearbook photos, Buffy decides to compete for the Homecoming Queen title.

Meanwhile, Trick introduces a competition, "SlayerFest '98", with a group of participants including German twin assassins Hans and Fredrick Gruenstahler, "The Most Dangerous Game" hunter Frawley, Kulak, a demon of the Miquot Clan, and Lyle Gorch and his new wife Candy. When Xander and Willow try on their homecoming outfits, tension builds until they finally kiss.

On Homecoming night, Buffy is collected by a limo containing Cordelia instead of Faith. Cordelia gives Buffy a note from the rest of the gang, who hope that Buffy and Cordelia will make up. Upon exiting the limo, the girls find themselves isolated in a remote location. They find a videotape message, addressed to Buffy and Faith, detailing the hunting of the slayers in SlayerFest '98. The participants attack and after Buffy defeats Frawley, the girls seek shelter in a cabin.

Buffy and Cordelia find a phone and attempt to alert Giles to their situation, but the phone is soon cut dead. They begin to bond when Cordelia admits that she loves Xander and Buffy reveals that she spent a year's allowance on her dress. Kulak arrives and fights with Buffy until the German assassins fire a grenade into the cabin. Buffy and Cordelia escape back to the library, while Kulak is killed in the explosion.

Upon arriving at the library, Buffy and Cordelia find Giles has been knocked unconscious by Lyle and Candy. Buffy manages to stake Candy, but is knocked out in the process. Cordelia scares off Lyle by persuading him that she is a bigger threat than Buffy. When Buffy and Giles wake up, they discover the tracking devices in the corsages. Buffy distracts the German assassins as they enter the school, managing to plant the trackers on them and have them annihilate each other with their high-tech equipment. Trick is escorted to the Mayor's office, who recruits him to help control the rebellious youth of Sunnydale. Buffy and Cordelia finally arrive at the homecoming dance to find that neither of them won the title.

Themes
"Homecoming" was criticized by Bryan Senn for concentrating too much on Buffy's self-pity, which prompts her to campaign to be Homecoming Queen. It leaves little time for the hunting-humans-as-sport storyline, a twist on the theme of Richard Connell's 1924 short story "The Most Dangerous Game" and its 1932 film adaptation of the same name.

At the site InsectReflection.com, essayist Emily (last name not given) writes, "Since this series started, Cordelia Chase has existed for one specific purpose – to act as Buffy’s Shadow Self. She has represented Buffy’s pre-Slayer self, and her desire to return to that state. ... This is Cordelia’s last hurrah – the last episode in which she fully acts as Buffy’s Shadow before Faith takes on the role full-time. This is half the reason why Cordelia is mistaken for Faith by the competitors in Slayerfest ‘98 and hunted alongside Buffy."

Cultural references
Cordelia tries to win the nerd vote for Homecoming Queen by saying, "Are you kidding? I've been doing the Vulcan death grip since I was 4," a reference to Star Trek.

Oz tells Buffy, "As Willow goes, so goes my nation." This refers to the political adage "As Maine goes, so goes the nation," meaning that Maine voters acted as a bellwether for presidential elections. General Motors also took the phrase for their ad campaign "As General Motors goes, so goes the nation."

Arc significance
Vox writes, "Homecoming introduces Xander and Willow's inevitable, ill-advised romantic dalliance, which reverberates throughout the season. It also, by dint of neither Buffy nor Cordelia winning the crown, underlines that Cordelia — a key player in Buffy as well as, eventually, Angel — is just as much a misfit as the rest of the Scooby gang, try as she might to deny it."

Myles McNutt writes that "we saw in 'Becoming' that Xander loves Willow as a friend enough that it could some day evolve into something more, so my issue is more the speed than the very fact of the matter. However... It’s a great way for the show to prepare us for the fact that their connection isn't 'going away,' and to use a device which has much larger functions for the purpose of ongoing character development is just some really smart long-form storytelling.

Mayor Richard Wilkins, Season 3's Big Bad, first appears. His assistant, Allan Finch, will be killed by Faith in episode "Consequences."

Reception
Vox ranked it at #43 on their "Every Episode Ranked From Worst to Best" list.

Mark Oshiro writes, "This show would not be as interesting if everyone had the most perfect quip available, or if they navigated the social strata of Sunnydale high with perfection. ... First of all, the competition between Buffy and Cordy inadvertently causes something else: Xander and Willow." Moreover, "Other characters in the show see [Cordelia] as vapid and shallow. It's hard to deny that she does care about superficial things, but she does so in a way that’s just so fearless."

Noel Murray of The A.V. Club praises "the glorious sight of Cordelia whapping the bad guys with a spatula and using her powers of intimidation to help herself and Buffy get out of a bad scrape. (Buffy holds her own too, especially when she uses misdirection to get two German slayer-hunters to kill each other, all while a flyer about "problem solving" hangs on a wall behind her.)" Justin Carreiro of TVFanatic.com writes that the episode "paired our favorites queens in a thrilling battle that showed every reason why Cordelia and Buffy needed more scenes together." He adds, "Cordelia's best moment was her speech in the library to [Lyle Gorch] ... Cordelia had the power within her; she only needed to use it to make it count."

Myles McNutt observes, "Ultimately, the episode needs them to be rivals so that there can be conflict when they're trapped in the wonder that is Slayerfest '98, but David Greenwalt does a nice job of drawing from each character's strengths and insecurities to explain their feud. Cordelia is still enough of a strong-minded character that she would forget those friendships when Buffy threatens to challenge her reign at Sunnydale, and Buffy’s just insecure enough that she would run against her in an effort to win out. That their feud would put Buffy and Cordelia into danger – as a change of plans with the limo has Cordelia, rather than Faith, trapped in Mr. Trick’s entrepreneurial endeavour – is the icing on the cake, and the episode has a lot of fun with that story."

Band Candy

"Band Candy" is the sixth episode of season three of the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was written by Jane Espenson, directed by Michael Lange, and first broadcast on The WB on November 10, 1998.

In one of the most popular Buffy episodes, the vampire Mr. Trick and English trouble-maker Ethan Rayne team up to provide a diversion — turning the adults into mental adolescents and creating an irresponsible town — so that the Mayor can pay tribute to a demon who can help him later.

Plot
Principal Snyder hands out boxes of candy to all the students, which they must sell to pay for new marching band uniforms. Buffy sells half of her chocolate bars to her mom, and the other half to Giles. She then visits Angel, who is practicing tai chi. When she arrives home, Buffy finds her mother and Giles eating the band candy.

The next day, Giles fails to show up for study hall, where Xander and Willow are playing footsie. Worried, Buffy goes to Giles' home and finds her mom on the couch. Joyce offhandedly gives her the car keys to drive home, to Buffy's astonishment. Giles, now acting like he did as a teen (and being called "Ripper"), invites Joyce out for some fun.

Buffy and Willow find The Bronze packed with adults who are acting like teenagers, including Principal Snyder. They return to Giles' place to find out what is going on.

At the warehouse, the vampire Mr. Trick checks up on Ethan Rayne and the production of the chocolate bars. Trick suddenly accuses one of the workers of eating the candy, and kills him as an example to the others.

Buffy eventually puts two and two together and realizes that the candy is making everyone act like immature teenagers. She sends Willow and Oz to the library and drives to the warehouse. Upon arrival, Buffy finds her mother and Giles kissing in the middle of the street. Inside the warehouse, Buffy catches Ethan; her threat of violence persuades him to reveal that Trick needs to dull Sunnydale adults in order to collect a tribute for a demon named Lurconis. Meanwhile, four vampires enter the hospital to remove four newborn babies. Willow phones Buffy from the library and tells her that Lurconis eats babies. Giles remembers that the demon may be found in the sewers.

Down in the sewers, the Mayor and Mr. Trick wait impatiently while the four vampires chant in a ceremony to summon Lurconis. Buffy, Giles and Joyce crash the party, and the Mayor quickly flees unnoticed. Buffy fights the vampires while Giles and Joyce take the babies to safety. The huge snake-like demon appears and swallows one of the vampires whole. Giles attacks Trick, but is thrown into the path of Lurconis. Buffy pulls down a gas pipe, igniting a fire that kills the demon.

Back at his office, the Mayor asks why Trick fled, allowing Buffy to kill Lurconis. Trick replies that he thought he did the Mayor a favor by having the Slayer kill the demon, leaving one less demon to whom the Mayor would owe tribute. The Mayor warns Trick against doing him any more such favors.

The next day, the adults have returned to their senses. Buffy and Giles meet Joyce, and Buffy exclaims that they are lucky she stopped them before they did more than they did. Joyce and Giles look very embarrassed, but Buffy fails to notice.

Themes
The site InsectReflection.com discusses the characters, their inner selves, and their behaviors. Of Joyce, essayist Emily (last name not given) says:

"There are few demographics more underrepresented in Buffy the Vampire Slayer than Adult Female Characters. ... This is one of the few episodes, even within this season, that allows us to understand Joyce as a person, and it does this by showing us who she is outside of the role of Mother. ... She is somewhat impulsive – readily handing over her car keys to an unqualified Buffy. She is rebellious, though in a safe, teenage way that extends in its extremes to a little weed and petty theft. She is easily impressed, and eager to impress others. She tries to show off to 'Ripper' – proudly bragging of her ability to order pay-per-view, and exclaiming how 'cool' and 'brave' his teenage antics are.'"

Of Giles:

"The backstory already provided for Giles in 'Halloween' and 'The Dark Age' establishes Giles' motivations for his ambivalent autocracy towards Buffy. ... Ripper emerges here in all his punkish glory, showing himself to be as much a real part of Giles as this Joyce is the 'real' Joyce. Ripper is Giles' own Shadow Self, not incorporated into his consciousness but hidden, beneath the tweed, taking only a little magical prod to emerge and take over his entire personality. This episode is the most we ever see of Ripper, and as rip-roaringly entertaining as it is to see Anthony Stewart Head in this mode (his goading of Buffy to punch Ethan and yelp of cheer when she does so remains a real highlight), it is to the show's benefit that 'Ripper' is seen only sparingly, as it increases the impact when Giles does invoke his darker side."

And of Buffy:

"Buffy is not as ready as she thinks she is. ... It's a common lesson for teenage coming-of-age stories... She is more mature than any of the candy-drunk adults in this episode – demonstrated when she has to snap Ripper, Joyce and Snyder into useful action, and takes responsible charge of the situation. ... This is not because of any special ability of Buffy – it's simply a natural effect of the structure of this genre. This is a teen drama, and it is interested in the teen perspective... one that sees teenagers as intelligent and responsible, and adults as obstinate and out of touch."

The essayist concludes, "It is this commitment to the teenage perspective that allows Buffy, and the other female characters of her age, to escape the fate of Joyce. ... This is the space where misogyny meets the honest needs of the genre."

Cultural references
The website Women at Warp compares the irresponsible adults theme with the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Game." "In space, a Ktarian woman introduces the Enterprise crew to a video game they can't stop playing. In Sunnydale, warlock Ethan Rayne distributes mind-altering candy, causing adults to act like teenagers. The vehicles for delivery are different, but the effect is the same: adults are rendered useless so villains can exploit the situation. In both cases, it's the younger generation (Wesley Crusher/Buffy and the Scoobies) that steps in to save the day."

When she and Willow enter the Bronze to find it full of partying adults, Buffy says, "Let's do the time warp again," the famous song from The Rocky Horror Show. Anthony Stewart Head played the mad doctor Frank N. Furter in that musical in London in 1990 and 1991.

Xander, accepting a box of candy from Snyder, asks, "You weren't visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past, by any chance?” He's referring to the Charles Dickens novel A Christmas Carol.

Buffy, protesting the idea of selling chocolate bars, says to Snyder, "I'm sure we love the idea of going all Willy Loman, but we're not in the band." Willy Loman is a character in Arthur Miller's play Death of a Salesman.

Principal Snyder says, "Call me Snyder. Just a last name. Like Barbarino." Vinnie Barbarino was a character played by John Travolta in the TV series Welcome Back, Kotter.

Buffy, complaining to Willow, says, "I'm putting in Mom time. She's been drastic ever since I got back. And Giles is even worse. I'm supervised 24-7. It's like being in the Real World house, only real." It was an MTV reality TV show which films a group of strangers, living in a house together, who are under constant supervision.

Some adults, including Willow's doctor, sing "Louie, Louie" by The Kingsmen on stage at The Bronze.

Continuity
Snyder and the Mayor almost certainly know Buffy is the Slayer now, if they didn't before.

Giles's tattoo, the Mark of Eyghon, was revealed in "The Dark Age" and is later seen in "Goodbye Iowa."

While under the band candy influence, Giles and Joyce have sex on the hood of a police car. Buffy discovers this in "Earshot" when she reads her mother's mind, and mentions it again to Giles when she's in Faith's body in "Who Are You?"

Joyce tells Giles she likes his music albums, which are also approved by Oz and Xander in the episode "The Harsh Light of Day." Giles is playing "Tales of Brave Ulysses" by Cream; he plays it again in "Forever.”

Reception
The episode was well received, becoming a fan favorite.

Reviewer Brett White enthuses, "Zombies, monsters, snazzy vampires, our heroine had seen it and slayed it week in and week out without breaking a sweat or a nail. And then came "Band Candy." ... In the episode, written by Buffy's comedy maven Jane Espenson, all the adults in Sunnydale got mentally and emotionally de-aged back to their hormonal teenage selves. ... Band Candy isn't a totally essential episode of Buffy, but it's still a fan favorite. Truthfully, all of Espenson's episodes are comedy classics, packed with some of the best one-liners in the entire series."

Vox ranked it at #21 on their "Every Episode Ranked From Worst to Best" list (to mark the 20th anniversary of the show), writing, "In true Buffy form, the candy-induced chaos is a distraction to allow the Mayor’s cronies to steal babies to feed to a giant snake demon, but it’s also a fun showcase for some of the older actors and a wry commentary on just how much responsibility the teenage Buffy shoulders on a regular basis — even if her mom still doesn’t think she should be allowed to drive a car." Paste Magazine, in a similar list, ranked it at #25 and called it "hugely funny—for which writer Jane Espenson is justifiably famous." Rolling Stone ranked it at #43, saying, "Rayne's scheme gives us badass Giles, chic Joyce, and Principal Snyder being a desperate hanger-on. One of the most fun episodes throughout Buffy."

Noel Murray of The A.V. Club writes that the episode "shows an alternate version of Sunnydale that's grounded in the town's own dark reality. Or as Oz says, 'Sobering mirror to look into, huh?

Omena, Michigan

Omena is a small unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Leelanau Township of Leelanau County in the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2020 census it had a population of 295. Overlooking Omena Bay, on the western side of Grand Traverse Bay, Omena is home to wineries and farms including a thriving organic farming movement that includes cherries and hops. The area has several wineries featuring some of the region's cherry and grape crop, for which the Grand Traverse and Leelanau areas are known. The nearest substantial city is Traverse City, 23 mi to the south.

History
In 1852, the Rev. Peter Daugherty relocated an Indian mission from Old Mission on the Old Mission Peninsula across the western arm of the Grand Traverse Bay to what was at first called "New Mission". He (built) a small Presbyterian church there as the nucleus of the community. The church continues an active schedule of services during the summer months.

It was a stop on the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad and was regarded as a summer resort area. Among others, Benjamin Grierson, a U.S. Civil War general, had a summer home in Omena, as did General Byron Cutcheon.

Etymology
Omena is derived from an Ojibwe expression, "o-me-nah", meaning "is it so?"

Geography
Omena is in northeastern Leelanau County on the west side of Grand Traverse Bay, an arm of Lake Michigan. It is served by one state highway, M-22, which leads south 23 mi to Traverse City and north 5 mi to Northport.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Omena CDP has a total area of 11.8 sqkm, of which 11.7 sqkm are land and 0.13 sqkm, or 1.10%, are water.

Mayoral elections
Omena is an unincorporated community and therefore lacks a centralized official government system. However, the citizens of Omena, Michigan practice triennial elections for a non-human mayor held by the Omena Historical Society. This was inspired by the canine mayoral elections of Rabbit Hash, Kentucky. The current "mayor" of Omena is Rosie Disch, a Golden mixed breed dog. The 2021 election raised $14,000 for the Omena Historical Society. Rosie will be in office for a three year term. Previous mayor's are: Sweet Tart, the first feline mayor elected to the position from 2018; Polly Loveless, a tri-pod dog who died in office after winning the 2015 election; Maya Deibel, a dog who won the 2012 election; and Tucker Joyce, a golden who won the inaugural election in 2009.

Revelations (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

"Revelations" is the seventh episode of season three of the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was written by Doug Petrie, directed by James A. Contner, and first broadcast on The WB on November 17, 1998.

A new Watcher comes to town, looking for a device of great power. The Scoobies learn that Angel has returned from a hell dimension.

Plot
Gwendolyn Post arrives unannounced as Faith's new Watcher. She is British, rude, confident, and looks down on all the Scoobies, especially Giles. She warns them that the demon Lagos is in Sunnydale looking for the Glove of Myhnegon, a powerful gauntlet.

While doing research, Xander and Willow kiss for a second time. At the Bronze, Cordelia and Oz notice that they seem unusually nervous, but Buffy and Faith appear at their sides for long enough to distract attention from their behavior. Xander goes looking for the Glove of Myhnegon, but sees Angel, of whose resurrection the Scoobies had been unaware. Xander follows Angel, hoping to stake him, but observes Angel and Buffy kissing. Angel shows Buffy that he has recovered the Glove. As Giles is meeting with Gwendolyn, Xander arrives to tell him about Angel. Gwendolyn does not overhear the conversation, but knows that they are keeping something from her.

The next morning, the gang stages an intervention with Buffy. Both Xander and Cordelia are openly hostile about Angel and see him as a serious threat, unable to separate him from the recent misdeeds of Angelus. Willow is less sure and advises caution, partly motivated by guilt about her secret romantic indiscretions with Xander. Buffy tells them that Angel has the Glove and that they are going to destroy it. Giles ultimately comes to Buffy's defense, but in private scolds her for not telling him about Angel's return.

Gwendolyn goes to visit Faith at the motel and mentions that Giles is having a secret meeting with Buffy and her friends. The angry Faith ends up at the Bronze with Xander, who tells her that Angel is alive and has the Glove, adding that Buffy knew about Angel's return and possession of the Glove but tried to keep it secret. The two nurse their grudges together; Faith decides to slay Angel and Xander eagerly volunteers to accompany her.

Giles tells Gwendolyn where the Glove is, and that "a friend of Buffy's" has it. He wants to discuss destroying it with her, but when he turns his back, Gwendolyn bludgeons him, knocking him out. In the cemetery, Willow is on the verge of telling Buffy about herself and Xander when the demon Lagos approaches the crypt, and Buffy kills him. Xander and Faith hurry to the library to get weapons, but they find Giles unconscious and gravely injured; Xander calls an ambulance. Faith assumes that Angel attacked Giles, but Xander thinks it unlikely as there are no bite marks. Faith leaves to hunt down Angel. Xander tells Buffy about Faith's goal. Gwendolyn shows up at the mansion first and tries to kill Angel, not knowing that he is a vampire. Faith arrives as Angel is fighting with Gwendolyn. She assumes Angel is after the Glove and attacks him. Buffy attempts to stop her, but Gwendolyn tells Faith to attack Buffy, and the two slayers fight.

Having successfully distracted the slayers and enlisted the help of Xander and Willow, Gwendolyn puts on the Glove and tests its power to manipulate lightning. The gang now realize who the real enemy is, and unite against her. Angel saves Willow from Gwendolyn's lightning bolt attack. Faith draws her fire, which allows Buffy to throw a piece of glass to sever her gloved arm, leading to Gwendolyn's death by electrocution when the next bolt of lightning strikes.

Buffy reconciles with her friends, who show willingness to forgive Angel. Giles finds out Gwendolyn was kicked out of the Watchers' Council 'for misuses of dark power' and went rogue. Buffy tries to reason with Faith, but Faith is thrown and confused by Post's betrayal and retorts that she has resolved not to trust anyone.

Writing
According to The Monster Book, writer Doug Petrie originally envisioned the Glove of Myhnegon as a "demonic falconer's glove," which, "[w]hen you put it on and raised your arm, this huge, dark cloud would burst through the ceiling and take the form of a bird that spits fire." This was deemed unfilmable. Petrie also said that there was debate as to whether Gwendolyn Post would be human or demon.

Reception
Vox ranked it at #75 of all 144 episodes on their "Every Episode Ranked From Worst to Best" list, writing, "Everyone cares about each other, everyone's extremely upset, and everyone's a little bit right. It's a lovely, graceful exploration of character dynamics in a way only Buffy can quite pull off. Plus, this episode features the first Faith/Buffy fight, and that's always a great well to draw from."

Valerie Frankel described the episode's villain, Gwendolyn Post, as "arguably the most powerful woman of the show". She said that while Post appears to be the strong female mentor that Buffy and Faith otherwise lack, it is significant that "innocent Willow", who represents Buffy's sensitive side, is threatened by her. Noel Murray of The A.V. Club said the final battle was predictable, but praised the scene where Post puts on the glove and has her arm severed by Buffy.

Rona Munro

Rona Munro (born 7 September 1959) is a Scottish writer. She has written plays for theatre, radio, and television. Her film work includes Ken Loach's Ladybird, Ladybird (1994), Oranges and Sunshine (2010) for Jim Loach and Aimée & Jaguar (1999), co-authored by German director Max Färberböck. Munro is the second cousin (once removed) of Scottish author Angus MacVicar.

Munro wrote the last serial of the original Doctor Who in 1989, and returned to the show in 2017, writing an episode for the tenth series of the revived version. This made her the only writer thus far who has worked in both the classic and revival eras of Doctor Who.

Early life
Munro went to school in Stonehaven and studied at the University of Edinburgh, where she wrote plays for the Television Society. After graduating in 1980, she was involved in the staging of the series of Women Live festivals at the Netherbow Theatre in Edinburgh.

Career
Her first commissioned play was Fugue in 1983. This was followed in 1990 by Bold Girls, set during the Troubles in Northern Ireland, and Iron, first produced at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh in 2002 and staged many times worldwide.

Munro's work on Doctor Who was not limited to just Survival (1989) and "The Eaters of Light" (2017). She later novelised both stories for the original and revived range of Target Books, respectively.

Her history cycle The James Plays, James I, James II, and James III, were first performed by the National Theatre of Scotland in summer 2014 in a co-production with Edinburgh International Festival and the National Theatre UK. The plays were staged again in early 2016. She followed this up with James IV - The Queen of the Fight in 2022, which concentrated on the presence of two black women at his court. Other theatre work includes plays for the Traverse Theatre (Your Turn To Clean The Stair, Strawberries in January translation), Manchester Royal Exchange (Mary Barton, Scuttlers), Plymouth Drum Theatre and Paines Plough (Long Time Dead), and the Royal Shakespeare Company (The Indian Boy, The Astronaut's Chair). The James Plays were performed in the United States for the first time at Hillcrest High School in Midvale, Utah in early 2024.

Munro has also contributed eleven dramas to Radio 4's Stanley Baxter Playhouse: First Impressions, Wheeling Them In, The King's Kilt, Pasta Alfreddo at Cafe Alessandro, The Man in the Garden, The Porter's Story, The German Pilot, The Spider, The Showman, Meg's Tale, and The Flying Scotsman.

In 2006 the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith presented Munro's adaptation of Richard Adams' classic book Watership Down. Her early television work includes episodes of the drama series Casualty (BBC) and, more recently, a BBC film, Rehab, directed by Antonia Bird.

Rona Munro currently lives and works in Scotland. Her play The Last Witch was performed at the 2009 Edinburgh Festival, directed by Dominic Hill, and in 2011 by Dumbarton People's Theatre. Pitlochry Festival Theatre's production, directed by Richard Baron, toured Scotland in 2018. Also in 2018, a production of her adaptation of My Name Is Lucy Barton starring Laura Linney opened in London.

A play about Katherine Hamilton, sister of Patrick Hamilton, is being performed on tour in 2024.

Lovers, Lover's, or Lovers'
There seems to still be a problem with the title of this article. At the moment, after a recent move, it no longer agrees with the title shown in the text. Rather than edit and move endlessly, could someone cite here a canonical reference for this title, so can definitively decide this and make any necessary fixes? Thanks. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:59, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

I checked my DVDs. The booklet lists "Lovers Walk" while the DVD menu lists "Lover's Walk." The introduction to Rhonda Wilcox's Why Buffy Matters says, "the script apparently does not carry an apostrophe, by the way--making for a short, sad, declarative sentence for a title." Not canon, but scholarly. Alpha5099 03:59, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Somebody get Joe Sweden on trhe phone! I've got the shooting scripts and it surely does say "Lovers Walk" at the top of every page. Thinking about it aren't the shooting scripts far closer to canonicity than DVD menus/TV listings.. if the intentions of Mutant Enemy were naming it "Lovers Walk" shouldn't that be the article title? -- Paxomen 12:47, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I have some additional technical info, which could be of interest (I worked on the 1100 during development and production)

- The phone was constructed in Copenhagen, Denmark, where Nokia Mobile Phones has a large R&D center. The product program (which handles production, sales and logistics) was placed in Beijing, China. It uses SW-components from Nokia sites in many places, but the majority of the maintenance of the rather mature codebase, was done in Copenhagen.

- The software is an evolution of the 3210 and 3310 'S30'-software, these phones are based on Nokias 3rd generation chipset.

- It uses Nokia's now obsole 4th generation chip-set, which was more cost-effective than the previous version.

- The software and content (Icons/Fonts/Text) can fit into 2 Mbytes of Flash-Memory (This is probably a world-record, if you take functionality into account). You can find both 2M, 4M and 8M byte flash memories in the phone, pricing and availability decided what was mounted in production (the SW is the same, but reads and adapts drivers to the actual configuration).Nokia is a Just-In-Time producer, many of the components spend less than 24 hours in the factory before they are mounted in the phone.

- There are three distinct SW variants, One US, One Chinese and one for the rest of the world. The difference is frequency bands and - for the Chinese version - some codecs (for AMR, adaptive Rate Modulation) was removed in order to fit in the Chinese font set.

- Reliabilityvise it is one of the best Nokia phones ever (but when you make 200.000.000, some millions are likely to fail). It should be, it is also one of the simplest phones.

- Production of the 1100 was done mainly in China, South Korea and Mexico (minor production runs could have been done in Hungary, Finland and Germany, but I don't recall that)

- The CPU is a ARM7 macrocell, the DSP is a TI design, they are situated on the same chip.

- The chipset contains approx. 300Kbytes of RAM, which is divided between the CPU and DSP (a minimum of shared memory is used, too, for inter-CPU communikation. No external RAM (which the chipset allows) is used for cost-reasons.

- The 1100 SW was used as basis for a number of successor phones (some abandoned in mid-development, others completed, e.g Nokia 2300, which was developed in parallel). —Preceding unsigned comment added by ClausVind (talk • contribs) 07:54, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

 * I actually have one that was made in Germany. Purchased it in the Czech Republic in September 2004, when I spent a year studying there. Used it with several carriers since, now in Israel... it is the best phone ever, it does what it's supposed to do - CALLS, and calls, and calls; you need to do heavy work to get the battery empty. :) In fact I consider it my 'survival phone', it's an excellent thing to have with you on hikes in the desert, forest and mountains, because it has 1) a huge battery life, 2) quite strong reception, 3) it can handle a lot (falls, rain) without failing. --Piz d'Es-Cha (talk) 15:41, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

No such model 1100i, prepaid tracker is on 1110i model.
Stop adding 1100i, there is no such model. It's mistaken from 1110i. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.110.181.186 (talk) 12:59, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
