I guess this is how they used to do it back in Dickens's day, but to be honest I think the episodic approach just makes it feel more like you're watching/producing a TV show.
I don't like having to wait for the next episode of TV shows either :-) I much preferred watching Buffy as a series of internet downloads, even though it meant I saw the episodes in a crazy order, to watching Angel in order but before it had been finished. I got so frustrated with myself, for developing wishes about how the series should go, which was never an issue with Buffy, because everything there had already happened.
Perhaps we could do a bit more to set up Xander's head injury (poor guy!).
No, you did that just fine. The problem wasn't that he didn't seem to be sufficiently seriously injured, it was simply a matter of conventional expectations - Willow's done some healing work, the ambulance is here, everything's going to be hunky-dory.
I'm just going to wrote to 'Hookles' now and then I'm off to bed - I can't believe how tired I am in spite of having snoozed for a good two hours this afternoon (I had an unexpected free day and spent it on two VERY worthwhile activities).
