My Thoughts:
I picked this one  because today (July 24th) is Lynda Carter's 59th birthday. And she has a somewhat small (a few scenes) part in this movie. I enjoyed this one. It is a pure fun show. Definitely not one you want to think too much about. But fun for leave your brain at the door pop-corn type movie. my favorite line in the movie goes to Lynda Carter when as the principle she is punishing the villains and says...  "There's nothing more I can do... I'm not Wonder Woman."  I know... a bit cheesy and definitely obvious... but I liked it.

Tom's Buffy and Angel Marathon, a review by Tom

06. Halloween (1997-10-27)
Writer: Joss Whedon (Created By), Carl Ellsworth (Writer)
Director: Bruce Seth Green
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase), David Boreanaz (Angel), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Seth Green (Oz), James Marsters (Spike), Robin Sachs (Ethan Rayne), Juliet Landau (Drusilla), Armin Shimerman (Principal Snyder), Larry Bagby III (Larry), Abigail Gershman (Girl)

I always enjoyed this episode a lot. Ghost Willow was especially great. And a helpless Buffy was also interesting to see.

I think it's great they introduce the Ripper side to Giles. The last few episodes, Giles was becoming the butt of too many jokes.
