Audio problem: When Buffy is using the flag as a weapon to fight Lothos, you can hear the metal clang of the sword, but the flag pole is made from wood.
Audio problem: When Lothos meets Buffy, he says, "I didn't expect to see you so soon." However, his lips are not moving. (00:53:00)





Chosen answer: If she listened to the silence (didn't pay attention to what Lothos was saying), then she would be able to ignore what gave him the ability to put her in a trance, and she could then put up a good fight. As to why he didn't kill her when she was just sitting there: for some reason bad guys always have to have the last word (explaining their scheme, what-have-you). Chalk it up to Bad Guy Stupidity.
