LOL yeah she is the worst liar in history and would fail CIA school before she even thought of signing up hah.

That is exactly what people were supposed to think of when they used that weapon.

I love that they noticed lol

@@AnatoleVGC First reactors I've seen pick up on that, and I love it!

And really flexing their budget increase here with the set and way it was filmed.

@@gungho1284 True, but Joss said he regretted blowing a good % of the season's budget on this ep.

It really works for his character TBH!

Yeah not the first show to do something like that. 90210 really did it in spades though. Season one they were sophomores in HS and then the show got great ratings then they were oh shit we only have like two more seasons to go before we have to dump them off to college already so they just had them go back to next year as sophomores again. No explanation ever given LOL.

So hard to tell what he remembers he seems surprised sometimes and others he looks shocked

A lot of the time it’s coming back to me during the viewing. Others I’ve known all alone, and I’m just enjoying the moment with the guys. I always try to be careful/mindful but man it’s hard hahahah Thanks for watching with us! -Joe

If you let go of the stake, it turns to dust with the vampire. We see this many times in the series. Buffy has Mr. Pointy.

We actually made that joke in the full length asking if Civ was out as we frequently play Civ 5 online

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been nuked by Gandhi…

Thanks for watching with us!

plunge and move on

@@sebastianwittmeier1274Well, Giles usually knows what he is talking about.

Thanks - a Firefly connection I totally missed

And he'll reappear as a character in Angel. Joss Whedon had several "hat trick" actors who showed up in all three series.

@@thomasbeauchamp3781 Yes, because Whedon was so terribly awful and abusive to work with that no actor would ever come back. LOL

A. I don't think anyone ever said Joss was insufferable every day and B.its hard for actors to find work so yes, they might be willing to put v up with some dgree of non-wonderful behaviorand c. The two hat trick actors I can think of were male and they got hassled less in general and may have been aware of or okay with the bad behavior. @@gungho1284

@@gungho1284 He was a guest, not a regular. He's also a he. Hollywood being what it's always been & misogyny being what it is, women have become accustomed to putting up with a great deal in order to succeed in their chosen (or not so chosen) career. There's often no point in bringing it up to any authority seeing as women are often not taken seriously, are seen as "boat rockers" for talking about it, & labeled "trouble makers" by those within their field making it difficult to find work. Basically, suffer in silence or give up your dreams & aspirations. It's not a decision that anyone should be forced to make. Strange how long men have accused women of being overly emotional & irrational. If that were true, there would've been a *lot* more murders. Men around the world just dropping like flies. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

And played a demon on Angel!

Joyce has her flaws, but this also isn't a normal parenting issue. I don't think it's fair to say she's just now learning how to parent. She's just now learning how to parent a teenager/young adult, and that's where her skills are lacking. Many parents struggle with their kids' teenager stages, and now she has to process and learn to accept the whole slayer element as well. Again, I'm not denying her shortcomings, I just think people give her too much criticism and not enough credit for the things she actually does do right.

@@MB.543 SLIGHT SPOILERS THROUGH SEASON SIX. IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THROUGH THE END OF SAID SEASON, DO NOT READ. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. The origin stories (the movie, the movie's original script, and the comic [and if you don't watch/read those _Band Candy_ shows her origin stories were a more mature version of what _Band Candy_ high school was, also) show Joyce ignores her daughter in every aspect. Divorce and Buffy burning down the gym are the only things that seem to have changed that by the beginning of S1. I mentioned things she should already know that she brings up in S1. Little moments from telling a sixteen year old Buffy she needs to learn how to say no and that she is reading parenting books that told her that's what to do, being able to talk to Buffy about basic things without being "shaky on the dismount" (the parenting books are, at least, working if she knew she was said, "shaky on the dismount"), all the way to drinking while throwing her child out of the house. To me, these all show she has flaws, but said flaws should have been learned years ago. There is a difference between struggling as a parent/normal parenting flaws, and not knowing the basics after sixteen to eighteen years, to the point of it effecting her larger parenting skills because she's that behind the curve. Does Joyce love her daughter? Yes, and she does get better over the the first four seasons, but I also see the parenting she should have being inserted by the monks when Dawn showed up. In the Post Dawn era I see Joyce losing the (for use of a better phrase) Band Candy Parenting when Dawn was born AKA in her memories of before she was created, and Hank leaving the family then, as opposed to his little leaving arc in S1-S3. This is also why I think his arc of going off with his secratary isn't as out of place as some think. Others fans will, and have, seen it differently. But, I believe there is a basis for my theory, even if you have a completely different theory. Love seeing all the different theories about this show.

I think one of the Buffy producers still has it. Nice souvenir of the show.

Love this comment. Your comments are always on point, thanks.

I think Buffy's birthday is one of the biggest continuity issues in the show, as the date isn't ever really consistent.

Malcom was messing with digital files. The implication is that he was deliberately changing the info as part of his corruption of the internet. We get a different birth year for Buffy in Nightmares. While there is only a year and no month/day on the headstone, it does give us 3 different dates for Buffy's birthday in season 1.

Lilly is still a human name.

@@boghag no, Lilly is a plant.

@@boghag Lily is a flower. Sunshine is the light given by the sun. Chanterelle is a mushroom. Anne is the only name that is also not "something else" - it's purely and solely the name of a person. Yeah, some people name their child Lily and anything can be a human name. Seven can be a human name. But it's still also a number. The point is that Anne kept choosing symbolic names until she got to "Anne"

Really looking forward to their reactions throughout this season, this was a great start, but now we face the real challenge - senior year!

Her being upset with Giles is valid, though, because he was someone she seemed to trust with her daughter, but he was having a whole secret, dangerous life with her behind her back. Any parent would be upset at that...

@AshLee92490 granted. However that doesn't absolve her of her own responsibility. It wasn't Giles who kicked Buffy out of her house. Also, she's had the summer. Has she made any effort to talk to Buffy's friends and find out just what her daughter was about. There are reasons Joyce was kept in the dark, but going into that would involve spoilers so just leaving it here.

@@coldservings Joyce has been an inconsistent Mother. Always go back to her gladly boasting that she’s reading the best books on parenting.The best I can say is she is better than Amy’s mother , what we have been alluded to so far with Xander, the lack of Willow talking about her family, and Cordelia’s family that spoils her instead of being a parent.

@@AshLee92490exactly, outside of the slayer context Giles would be a whole groomer. He is pressuring and guiding a minor into a dangerous lifestyle, and forcing her to keep it a secret from her parents. And no i wont accept the spoiler reason because Giles could have easily told Joyce himself that Buffy was the slayer.

28:10 oh you mention it here.

I would blame them for not having a mod for YT posts as folks can't seem to stop themselves from spoiling. So, spoil away if you can't help yourself.

You mean Buffy v. Communism.

I know a couple of Bill's who are not named William.

The Gandhi impression was inspired by this fake movie trailer kzfaq.info/get/bejne/asuXlJiDyMnYYqc.html (by Weird Al Yankovic)

nah, I think it's funnier the way they did it.

Gandhi: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/asuXlJiDyMnYYqc.html

The hammer and sickle are used by Buffy to destroy the collective state. The tools were given to the workers to produce for the oppressors. Having Buffy use them is to show that the individual can take the tools of the state and use them for individual purposes. It’s the hammer and sickle used by the individual (Hi, I’m Buffy the Vampire Slayer and you are?) that helps Buffy overthrow the system and free individuals to become who they choose and not the collective. Like so many episodes, it’s about the journey of Buffy to become a free individual not subjected to a system or forced order,
