I consider IRYJ to be one of the most underrated episodes of the series.  Sorry, but I do not get the hate. It's got the introduction of Jenny Calender (did I mention I'm a G/J shipper?); and right off the bat foreshadows the idea that she is not what she claims to be; some great dialogue; a Willow-centric episode; Buffy looking out for Willow's welfare (she was only concerned when she realized Willow didn't actually know this "Malcolm") and the first instance in the series of me being truly afraid for Willow and her proving that she's smarter and more resolute than I gave her credit for.

And some of the stuff about computers and the internet turned out to be rather uncomfortably true.

Oooh, lovely!

Favs this time around are: Party, Bright Yellow, Flower Texture, Resolution, AC1, and Alt 6.

I know the show's about Buffy and slaying, but I wish Giles wasn't so alone. Why can't he have adult friends? Even Spike has Clem as a buddy. Oh, and poor Jenny. :(

Marvelous work!
My favorites from this set are party, personification, touch of color, the end, AC 1, AC 4, alternates 5 and 6. :)

I'm gonna begin by saying that I probably would have liked the episode more if the monster had been more realistic or done better. But I understand it was season1 and they were low on budget so I just watch it as a filler episode, nothing more. It was cute to see Willow in a romantic position (even with that happened later) and yeah, it foreshadowed quite a bit of what we deal with now. It's probably one of the worst BTVS episodes for me, but all in all..it's still Buffy.

NOW ONTO THE ICONS!!! I have to say cat5 is my favorite..IT IS AMAZING! Composition and light are great and I like the contrast between the two moments captured. I also loved the text in personification (VERY CLEVER), flower texture (love the composition here), the crop of touch of color and ac5 which has a very beautiful clarity and light.
A great set. And I like that you chose what is considered an unpopular episode of BTVS.

I like your center text icon. Such a simple but effect solution to the challenge! I also like the cropping on touch of color and the "cartoony" thought cloud you used on dream. I had a hard time coming up with something for that challenge. :)

The composition on cat 5 is fantastic and I really like your extra 5!

As ever, lovely work .... I especially like Touch of colour - both the crop and the colour effect. Shadowed profile is stunning, and it is great to see some Jenna icons.

Very nice set! In fact, I just finished voting for several of these. And..... no, I didn't know they were yours. (I suspected on a few of them but I didn't know.)

I think how fast it got SUPER dated is part of the hate? But yeah IDK I love the cheesy S1 episodes.

I love these! Especially cat #1, AC #5, and all the Giles and Jenny (and Giles/Jenny!) ones.
