Day 12: Least Favorite Episode
I don't know what it is about Bad Eggs, but I almost never actually want to rewatch this episode.
It's a bit dull. There are two main story lines - the Gorch Brothers and the Bezoar - that don't really get tied together in the best way. Having to carry eggs around and pretend they're babies is kind of idiotic, especially when you have a partner. Buffy complains about being a "single mom", but Xander, Willow, and Cordelia all seem to have full responsibility of their eggs, too.
I guess the whole Bezoar plot never made that much sense to me. And the Gorch Brothers fail to seem like an actual threat. They're idiots who only get the upper hand on Buffy because she's too busy making out with Angel to even notice them. Neither of these villains is strong enough to carry an entire episode, which is probably why they share one. Like I said, the two story lines don't seem to work together, or get tied up particularly satisfactorily. That may just be me.
And take this with a grain of salt, because whenever I do sit down and watch this episode, I enjoy it. There are plenty of little scenes that make me happy. But I'll rarely put it on voluntarily.
