Nicholas Brendan is awesome in this episode as Hyena!Xander and Alyson Hannigan really does Willow justice. I love how the two of them transform Xander and Willow from Buffy's friends to main characters in this episode.
I also love the last scene with Giles and Xander and the whole memory loss conversation. For all of the goofy special effects, I think this episode is great when it comes strengthening the bond between Buffy, Xander, Willow and Giles and for creating character development.
The only thing I hate about this episode is that Principal Flutie gets killed off.
For the community? Perhaps adding a list of what music was in the episode since that ended up being so crucial to the show later on?
