It was one of my favorites as a teen. And it scared me. I used to skip ahead into it, because I refused to go thought Innocence heavy melodrama. I wanted fun. Phases is the first werewolf themed episode, all viewers been waiting for. The design of this creature, on the show, is all wrong. But this first « draft » looks goofy and kind of cute, when you're all grown up. But it's a cool episode, where Oz becomes a series regular. It also has really funny and chilling bits. As well as the impending threat of Angelus lurking in the shadows. And an unexpected coming out scene, clearly making the best of the show's theme, in a very hilarious and sweet way. It's one which flaws can easily be overlooked.
