A very interesting episode, indeed. Certainly better than any other stand alone episode of the first season. Eternity is one of those episodes where the fanbase has very mixed opinions of, some seem to really despise it and i’ve seen people consider it to be the worst episode of the entire series, and then there are people whoa are very passionate about it (Like Joss Whedon who claims it’s his favorite of the first season). Personally, I think it’s great. Very witty throughout and Boreanaz playing Angelus (no matter how it happened) is always a treat, it just comes so naturally to him. The only thing that I never bought was the actress playing Rebecca, she was neither attractive or very good and people were supposed to think she was 24?
