YMMV / Buffy the Vampire Slayer S5E19 "Tough Love"

Go To

  • Cry for the Devil: The look on Glory's face when she describes what it's like to be insane—she's clearly speaking from experience.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • When Dawn and Buffy enter The Magic Box early in the episode, Xander is reading an X-Men comic book. The issue, X-Men #109, is the last in that series before the death of Colossus - an event which later became pivotal to Joss Whedon's run on Astonishing X-Men.
    • Willow and Tara's fight has the former especially hurt and saying "I'm sorry I didn't establish my lesbo street cred" before they got together. This seems eerily prophetic of the years of fandom debates over Willow being gay or bisexual.
  • Les Yay: After Willow claims that she doesn't know if she could sleep without Tara, Anya tells Willow that she can sleep with her.
    That sounded a lot less lesbian in my head.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Glory truly crosses it when she mind rapes Tara into insanity.
