    "What the heck is a Zima?"
    Wow, way to make us feel old lol
    It's kinda like alcoholic Sprite. They brought it back, at least temporarily, a few years back. It's probably possible to get it if you're really curious.
    "Zima Clearmalt is a clear, lightly carbonated alcoholic beverage made and distributed by the Coors Brewing Company or its licensees. Introduced in 1993, it was marketed as an alternative to beer, an example of what is now often referred to as a cooler, with 4.7-5.4% alcohol by volume.[1] Its production in the United States ceased in October 2008, but it was still marketed in Japan[2] until 2021, when sales ended due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic[3] before returning in 2023.[4] On June 2, 2017, MillerCoors announced a limited release of Zima for the U.S. market. It was sold again in the U.S. in the summers of 2017 and 2018, but did not return in 2019." -- Wikipedia

    I think the reason this episode is so good is that it really doesn't seem like it is going to be. It seems like it is going to be totally dorky, but it isn't in the end. As for Zima, it was a light weight drink that the majority of people considered lame. Sort of like a wine cooler, only a beer cooler, I guess. If you drank it and you were a man you were considered a wuss. Zima tried hard to make themselves seem cool with their ad campaigns. Too hard. Even women who drank it began to seem lame. So Andrew asking for one infers he is a lame wuss who tries too hard to seem cool. Basically.

    Xander: "I've apologized enough."
    Me: No. You been harsh about the fact that you left her at the alter and she moved on out of solace with someone you don't like. There was never the apology you tell Andrew she deserves. Not until the conversation you have after you say you've apologized. That was your apology.

    • @55titles12
      @55titles12 10 місяців тому +2

      He left her for probably the best reason you could leave someone at the alter 🤷‍♂️ its still awful ofc but no where as awful as anya sleeping with someone SHE KNOWS xander hates that borders on spiteful wether it was the intentional or not

    • @Buffy8Fan
      @Buffy8Fan 10 місяців тому +3

      @@55titles12 I respectfully disagree.
      Xander had plenty of time to talk to Anya or someone else in the group (seventeen weeks from the first moment he had cold feet until the _Hells Bells_ episode) about his issues before getting to the alter. Instead, he cast a spell to see if they would have a happy ending that resulted in a musical where people burned to death. If he had talked to someone about not just the cold feet, but the issues behind the cold feet, Stewart Burns would never have been able to get under Xander's skin enough to make Anya's words when Xander proposed true. "You're proposing to me 'cause we're gonna die. And-And you think it's romantic and sexy and-and you know you're not gonna have to go through with it 'cause the world's gonna end." He didn't think about what being married meant. He was doing it for the reasons Anya said in the quote. If he thought about it, and talked to people about his cold feet and issues, Stewart Burns would have been a minor annoyance in an episode that ended happily.
      And if Anya sleeping with Spike is something to blame Anya for (I don't think it is to blame someone over as Xander left her at the alter, she can be with whoever she wants whether he likes said person or not because it wasn't about him, it was about solace) then he has no excuse when Willow called him out over being with Cordelia. And I defend Xander being with Cordelia because it doesn't matter if Willow hates Cordelia anymore than it matters if Xander hates Spike. Niether does it matter if Willow was never with Xander and Anya was with Xander. Xander and Willow are making each of those moments about themselves and Anya and Xander in these respective moments clearly state it wasn't about Xander hurting Willow or Anya hurting Xander. The moments were about Xander liking Cordelia (until the cheating, but that's a different story) and Anya finding solace after he left her at the alter.
      I could understand Xander's reasoning if it wasn't at the alter, but he had seventeen weeks, between the first sign of cold feet in _All the Way_ and _Hells Bells._ He should apologize for how he acted in leaving her at the alter when he could have talked to her before the wedding day and how he acted over Anya getting solace. My original comment is about the fact that he says he's apologized like he's done it often ( "I've apologized _enough,"_ ) when he hasn't done it even once.

    • @55titles12
      @55titles12 10 місяців тому

      @Buffy8Fan okay, first of all, I have to say in total seriousness.. I love the passion, truly no sarcasm at all its a great thing about shows like this that bring out all these different perspectives
      see when it comes how I view things like this in shows I put myself in the person's shoes cause there is rarely an objective "this is right and that is wrong" like there is in say a crime for arguments sake and strictly speaking I think putting myself in anyas shoes there is anger and pain and there is why (which we know) and then putting myself in xanders shoes and actually seeing that on the camera like he did with someone again that SHE KNOWS he hates so soon after the break up... that is a heartbreaking betrayal on another level
      Now LOGICALLY you make alot of sense ofc tho I don't agree with everything but cmon, with situations like this you simply cannot look at it purely from logic and say "that is how so and so should've acted" (imo cause relationships dont work on logic mostly)
      I would be very interested to see if you put yourself in their shoes and come away with the same perspective you have and if you do, thats ok btw 🙂

    • @Buffy8Fan
      @Buffy8Fan 10 місяців тому +1

      @@55titles12 It's not about who was right and who was wrong. It's about their actions along the way. And as my original comment states Xander hasn't really learned anything if he claims apology's he's never made. He's still doing what his core attitude is all about. Focusing on everyone else's faults and issues to ignore his own. And we've known one of the core issues since his _Restless_ dream: His dad. And now it become an issue to ignore until he left Anya at the alter because Stewart opened the door he tried to keep closed. Doesn't mean how he acts afterwards is OK. Bulling Anya over her having Solace isn't much different than back when he would yell at Buffy over Angelus. The difference is Buffy/Angel was something he could escape after yelling his opinion. Anya is tied to his own issues. So he has nowhere to run. The sooner he deals with his issues the less excuse people can give him for getting involved in other peopl's issues.
      I understand Xander more than most people do. Ignoring his issues is the key to his character, and if he had dealt with the ones tied to his cold feet earlier than the wedding day I would agree with actions that followed whether it ended happily or not. But Xander having cold feet are why Stewart was able to get under Xander's skin.
      What Anya was doing wasn't spiteful because it wasn't intentional. Xander made it about himself to ignore his issues. He felt hurt because Anya slept with Spike, but refused to acknowledge she didn't do it in spite and kept saying she did it to hurt him, when it wasn't about him. After bullying her he shouldn't be saying he's "apologized enough" because he hasn't made even one apology for bullying her, let alone leaving her at the alter, which he admits deserves an apology.

    • @55titles12
      @55titles12 10 місяців тому

      @Buffy8Fan that's just not true, he even specifically says knowing full well what he was shown was a fabrication is that's "what it could be" so how is that not him trying to work through his issues? Ofc the timing is hilariously bad and its awful for anya but hello if we're talking about holding people accountable for there actions where is anyas punishment for all she's done?
      She was human then became a vengeance demon and its even been joked about in the show she would smite men for the same woman over and over and wonder "is it maybe you?" How many lives has she ruined how many people have died because of her all cause of a choice she made cause she was scorned yet this doesn't seem to be acknowledged or analysed anywhere near to the degree xander leaving her at the alter does? If anything its played for laughs?
      It just doesn't make sense to me to use the meta (us as an all knowing audience) to crucify xander for being human (can't stress enough leaving her at the alter is awful I can't even imagine going through that) even though it wasn't for selfish reasons but give anya a pass for a selfish act like sleeping with spike like I don't get it at all it borders on projection from the viewer at that point imo

    I thought Storyteller was a very similar episode to Superstar back in S4 where Jonathan was featured. This time it is Andrew being ultra irritating, setting himself up doing a type of documentary on the group. While quite funny, the vlogging is so annoying for the rest of the group. Funny at the start when Anya confronts Andrew in the bathroom. Andrew sticking his camcorder everywhere is really annoying Buffy now. It is strange that the writers continued with the character of Andrew as opposed to Jonathan who probably would have been a better fit to be a final part of the group. A funny scene too when Andrew enters the living room with Willow and Kennedy kissing, but features on the window Xander replaced. Another interesting scene when Andrew is interviewing Xander and Anya, and starts asking personal questions. When Wood touches the seal he changes, we can see the evil has influenced him calling Buffy a 'filthy whore'. The power of The Hellmouth growing again now with some of the students being totally overcome by its power, some good fight scenes with these. Best scene of the episode is when Buffy confronts Andrew at the end over the Hellmouth. She forces him to cry over the seal which seems to work. A great exchange at the end when he says 'what if the tears didn't work', Buffy does not answer. All in all an interesting episode, but far better to come in the closing episodes of S7.
