With a smile, wink, and nod to a classic horror creature, the Buffy version here does provide a few twists with explanation. Although many of the ideas seem short on refinement as well as execution, solid writing still prevails. Creatures were actually alright by me, with a faithful rendition to the original. A little re-hash as far as the after-school theme which reminded me a little of the earlier frat party.
Cordelia got the best one-liner joke and surprisingly endearing scene when Xander appeared to be a monster. Unlike Buffy, Cordelia was not about to let her boyfriend's change deter her perseverance in making a relationship work. Admirable, even if it were impossible. Xander too was a fun character to watch in this episode. Entertaining, off-beat, I'm fine with this episode as long as it didn't cause the series to go unfinished.

This episode is nothing special, I would probably rate it a 6 but Willow's line "really? Me? I'll crack him like an egg" makes the whole episode. It's the little things :)
" Go fish" is a sweet little episode of Buffy, not one to remember , not one to skip, just a solid funny episode.
Once more Xander save the life of Buffy, not Angel, and yet Buffy love Angel not Xander, how unfair this is, and sad for her, she could have been so happy with Xander.
On the other hand, this episode offer a great scene with Cordelia, where we can see their relashionship might bé more serious than expected. There is still the suspence to know with who Xander will end up, Buffy Willow or Cordelia or someone new ?
I dont understand some reviews calling this episode beeing like the X files, guys wake up the show IS like the X files since the beggining, standalone about a different Supernatural event every weeks, and a main story on the other hand ( for x files aliens, for Buffy vampires) smae kind of show, this episode does not look more like the X files than 10/15 from Season 1 and 2 and im sure all the others seasons.
Also its kind of an insult to the X files to compare it to this Buffy épisode, The X files is a masterpiece of a show, with nearly every épisodes beeing better than the best of the buffy ep.

It's tough to stick a monster episode toward the end of the season when we're dying for more Angel-Spike-Drusilla stuff. If this were a season 1 episode, it'd be one of the better ones, but it's a late season 2 episode, so its placement hurts it. But overall, I found it quite funny and fun and entertaining. Love the scene where Cordelia thinks Xander is a fish monster!
Not sure why this episode gets so much hate? Has some of the best lines of the entire show
