To see Buffy just turn around and walk through his dust with an expressionless face was jarring after a few seasons of drama between the two. YMMV, of course.

Buffy spitting on herself.
Goosebumps. And a tingly feeling.
KariAri, that’s how I remember it as well.

Cordelia: And I wish that Xander Harris never again knows the touch of a woman.
Anya: Done!

And for me, the most jarring thing was seeing Oz kill EvilWillow.

I've only seen "The Wish" twice, actually. It's too unsettling for frequent repeat viewings. What hit me, however, was how in a lot of ways the episode just sets up the darkness of later seasons. With a lot of changes, of course, but Buffy's in a bad spot, Giles has nothing to do, Willow and Xander are causing trouble... it's Season Six as seen in a funhouse mirror.

ETA: LOL, I just realized I've confused The Wish with The Gift. Sorry, it won't happen again.

She's still alive, you see...for the freshness.

Too late. Hand over your Whedonesque membership card and Joss Decoder Ring immediately and leave the site quietly. Unforgivable mistake!

That Glory, she's a crafty one. Messing with your mind and all.

However, the new direction allows me to revel in the beautiful, concise "Cordelia is in a stroppy mood." I love it.
And confusing The Wish with The Gift? It's not worse than my brother's confusing the Rolling Stones and Guns 'n' Roses...

Well, so's every epsiode since certain things happened with me... Joss's shows are chock-full of moments that are hard to watch on a par with such film scenes as "T'was beauty killed the beast....How green was my valley then....My white plume... Shane! Come back....Dad, c'mon, get up, we gotta go home." And isn't that a big reason why we watch it?

Very clever choices in the Disturbing Department; obviously some thought given to who killed whom.
Oz was absolutely right in the beginning of the episode, but did he have to be that cold about it?
