Joyce and Spike together is a whole mood.
Agreed! It's so fun. 😌
i love them together. one of my favorite random pairs to interact.
Picture it. May, 1998, the basement of my parents’ house. A burgeoning gay boy hopelessly in love with Angel sits on the couch alone, bawling his eyes out, while watching the last episode. I definitely relived a lot of those feelings watching this season back with you two cuties.
Omg I’m right there with you ❤️❤️❤️. I watched these episodes so many times.
Me, a 10 year old girl, DEPRESSED for days because of this lol and I still love it!
Me, a 9 year old girl, sobbing my eyes and hating Xander. I never forgave him truly 💔 (I placed the blame on him,IDC 😂)
I read that in Sophia's voice xD ❤
@@serpentina05 Honestly, rewatching the series as an adult and Xander is truly terrible and never really receives a true arc or redemption, so don't even feel bad. I feel bad I guess that the writing failed him.
FINALLY someone caught the multi-episode paperweight joke
well done
With these two, there's always a segment I have to watch at least 10 times. This time it was the paperweight thing. Hilarious.
Not only did Buffy just kill the love of her life after he got his soul back in order to save the world, there are several other things that contributed to breaking her:
1) Her mom said if she leaves not to come back.
2) Kendra died, Willow and Xander were hurt.
3) Giles was tortured.
4) The police want her for murder.
5) She's been expelled from school.
6) Xander told her that Willow said "kick his ass" - implying Willow had jumped on the "hate Angel" bandwagon.
No wonder she ran away. She wasn't thinking straight, or she might have figured out Willow would never have said that, but if she realized Xander knew Willow was going to try the spell again and didn't tell her, actually lied to her...that's even worse.
That slow mo' with SMG running through the hallway with that baby blue coat! that is amazing cinemetogrophy.
One of my favorite scenes!
So good, they put it in the season 3 intro lol
When slow mo matters 💕
The Vampire Diaries learned everything they did from Buffy.
And buffy is still better
@@guilainefeutchine886 💯
I always say that... thats so true.
@MarcosPaulo-zu2oz the more you watch Buffy again after having watched TVF, the more things you realize they ripped off. The Humanity Switch, for example, came from this season of Buffy. More things got ripped from Buffy, but I won't say it here because of Spoilers.
Appreciate: the emotional climax of this episode hinges on the audience shifting from wanting Buffy to kill Angel to being _heartbroken_ that Buffy has to kill Angel, and this shift takes places over the course of maybe two minutes. And it works beautifully.
Top marks to the writing, direction and acting of that scene. That would have been so easy to screw up. They threaded multiple needles with one thread there.
Omg yes season 3 please… i’m living for Friday Buffy reactions
I just binged all of these and can’t wait for next Friday! Buffy was a huge part of my high school years and I’m loving rewatching it with you guys. Keep going!!❤
Drusillas manicure of death, Buffys terrible disguise, roasting Snyder, Joyce’s coming out handling, alliance with Spike, willow’s channeling of awesome magic, epic sword fight, Buffys calling, angels siring & curse, Xander’s controversial decision, the jenny manipulation, angels death. These episodes had and were EVERYTHING. nothing like this had ever been on tv before. Just incredible to this day. Perfect. Unbeaten.
Drusilla is only the second vampire we have seen with the power of hypnosis. Only Dru and the Master have had this power. Tells you something about how powerful she is.
I wonder if the strength-restoration spell she did with Angel also gave her a power boost.
Keep watching Buffy!!! There's so much I want to see you guys react to. Each season just keeps getting better!!!
Slightly disagree on that last part 😅
@@benhaggitt4466 They still haven't gotten to the best season (5)
LOL I'm glad you're watching this as psychologically developed adults, my ~10 year old brain did not know such horror and heartbreak could exist in the world until these episodes, definitely a core memory.
Do me a favor - kiss your parents every day... some of us knew at 10 exactly how much horror and heartbreak exists in the world.
HECK YES I WANT YOU GUYS TO KEEP WATCHING AND REACTONG TO BUFFY!!!! ❤❤❤❤ please continue 🙏
That whole conversation between Buffy and her mom very much was written as a coming out to one's parents' conversation. That is probably why it resonates so well. That it is a true experience that many have gone through.
It would be an absolute crime if you guys didn’t continue with watching the show with us. I grew up never missing an episode. So being able to rewatch it as an adult with you guys is such a joy. Please continue.
remember what she said to Ford in 'Lie to Me'?
"You have a choice.
You don't have a good choice but you have a choice."
Becoming part 2 was a terrific ending to S2 setting up the brilliant S3. Here we see Buffy faced with the ultimate heart breaking choice to kill her lover or save the world. We of course know she will make the right choice. Willow comes through at the end, but Buffy has to go through with the final act. So poignant at the end when from afar Buffy sees her friends but decides to leave Sunnydale, Joyce too is so regretful as she knows Buffy is now gone after their terrible row, all against the backdrop of Sarah McLachlan's beautiful haunting ballad Full Of Grace. I think we can see you guys are now hooked on the show, as are all reactors that enter 'The Buffyverse' and it only gets better. You will love S3 it's incredible!
ABSOLUTELY keep posting your Buffy reactions. 😃
One thing that it took me many rewatches to notice was in episode 21, when Darla lures Angel into the alleyway, just before she kills him and turns him into a vampire, she tells him to close his eyes. Here at the end of episode 22 when Buffy understands that she's going to have to kill Angel, she tells him to close his eyes. One of the more subtle, but so very well written, things in this 2-part finale.
Season 3 is a masterclass of pacing and serialized storytelling - there are barely any "one-off" or "filler" episodes, and the ones that do exist are all excellent (no Go Fish moments). Plus season 3 introduces one of THE best characters in the whole Buffyverse!
Season 3 is my favorite. Both the overall plot and the individual episodes are so strong, and the finale is an absolute blast!
There is one other aspect to season 3 that is important. Midway through the season the show got a firm contract for 2 more seasons ( 4 and 5). We then start seeing foreshadowing for those upcoming seasons and for a certain other show. But you won't know the meaning of those hints until you actually get to those future events.
Please keep watching and posting! I need to see what you guys think of season 6!
I was thinking that but also Season 4 and Season 7... but also Season 5!!!!... wait... and Season 3! ...um... Oh. That's all of them. lol
Yes!!! Been waiting all day for y’alls reaction. Let’s the emotions begin. 😭 😭
The season 2 finale gave us so much, from Buffy’s iconic run down the hallway, the Buffy and Spike team up, the hard convo with Joyce, Willow returning Angel’s soul but to only have Buffy sacrifice him to save the world. Reliving all this had me in the feels. All I can say is the upcoming seasons: you’re in for a lot each time. Buckle up.
Season 3 is the coolest, you two aren’t ready !!!!
Please keep doing Buffy videos!! My favorite show! I love to see it with new fans!
Yessss please continue the buffy series!!!!
Cody & Sergio, Blade's mentor, father figure, and weaponsmith was Abraham Whistler.
So I watched this episode when it first came out in '98, seen many reactions, but "jealousy boner" is the first perfect descriptor of Xander's reaction to re-ensouling Angel I've ever heard.
Please please please make more reaction videos I love those so much this is the main reason I subscribed to this channel and you guys are doing such a bang up job❤
Please please please continue with the reaction series! This show just keeps getting better and there's so much we need to watch you watch! :D
I can't believe we are here already! it seems like just yesterday we were watching The Pack and things were just starting up.
Season 2 is my personal favourite, but you should absolutely keep going!
On to season 3! The third season has way more consistency in terms of episode quality. There are lots of all-time bangers coming up!
Yes the iconic jacket and slow mo superhero run 😍
PLEASE keep these reactions going! I adore them. We need the entire show on youtube!
Please keep watching Buffy!
I hope you guys continue, season 3 of Buffy is So good
The 3rd 2 parter of the season. It is amazing they could get not just 1, not just 2, but 3 2 part episodes in 1 season.
Hi Sergio and Cody you need to keep reacting to Buffy there are so many iconic moments in the following seasons which in my opinion keep getting better and better, 5 and 6 being my favorites
I have been enjoying re-visiting Buffy with you guys and have forgotten about how much this show can really make a person tear up and cry. Season 3 is a wild ride and my personal favorites are season 5 and 6. I hope I get to enjoy them with you👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😎
I think part of the reason Buffy runs away is not just because her mum doesn't accept her and not just because she got expelled from school but also because her one true love is basically dead and the reason for it is her friends betraying her (specifically Xander but she doesn't know who else was in on it)
She didnt know Xander beytrayed her?
Also, she's still wanted for murder. And what is she supposed to say? A vampire killed Kendra?
This finale broke me unlike any other.
Bangel was my first ship.
David Boreanaz was my first crush.
Having Buffy kill Angel & not Angelus… WOW. What a twist that was for my early teens brain. And it hurt so much. I sobbed for weeks & weeks after this finale. But watching Buffy prepared me for any other show because if you can get through this… you can get through anything that happens on screen. A Joss Whedon show isn’t for the faint hearted.
Omg, so happy that you got the "paper weight" reference!
Keep Buffy reactions going! I didn’t realize I wasn’t subscribed, but I just did 😘. Also loved y’all’s Evil Dead Rise reaction!
Please keep going! Love your reactions!
Now that it isn't a spoiler, and the end of S2 is complete, I can mention the implied expansion of the Buffy universe in these episodes. 'The Powers That Be' becomes a catch all phrase for extraplanar powers, heavenly and otherwise, that basically want life to prosper and evil to lose. Implied in Willow's sudden change in spellcasting is that powerful forces were 'lending a hand' to a mortal agent to ensure success. It sets up a basic set of rules that then stay in place through the series: mortal agents can receive help...but they must ultimately take action on their own, often at a high personal price.
Second: Buffy 'coming out' as a Slayer to her mom WAS ABSOLUTELY a major allegory for being gay in the 90s. Joyce's confusion and anger and denial as a parent was an intentional display of typical (typically ridiculous) parental shock and denialism that was more common then than now, but still as difficult to deal with as ever. The burnt bridges, the ridiculous ultimatums, the horrible realization that your kid is out there somewhere alone because of this...yeah...it was ALL intentional...and wonderful, since there weren't many shows with the brass to highlight all those nuanced topics with any realism or clarity...and this one outdid even the few others that tried.
their idea of "lending a hand" was sending whistler around. there's no reason to think there was divine intervention in willow's spellcasting -- in part because it didn't in fact require any further action or price from willow.
Buckle up, boys! Well I know you've already seen it but anyway... The season finale is so damn emotional. CHEERS! 🥂 You did it!
HERE WE F*CKING GO!!!
This was SUCH a sad season finale. I STILL can't watch it without crying (it is heartbreaking).
absolutely PLEASE continue uploading Buffy to UA-cam!! these videos give me life and i NEED you guys' reactions to seasons 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7!!
loving these, and Charmed, and i hope beyond hope y'all continue!
YES!!! Continue.
Spike is definitely one of the greatest television characters of all time
OMG honestly so jealous, your margaritas look amazing! Can't wait to see you react to the rest of the show!! Season 3 is even better! And if you like characters similar to Whistler then i think you guys will like the Angel spin off!
Still to this day, I start bawling my eyes out the second Angel returns and I don't stop.
I don't even have to watch the episode, just play Christophe Beck's Close Your Eyes or Sarah McLachlan's Full of Grace and I am reliving the saddest moments of the finale...
Did you notice the stunt double of Buffy? Every time when her face is not visible and she is falling or doing crazy fighting, you might notice a different person. The editors did a very good job but sometimes you notice it.
Yes to all the seasons! My favorite series of all time, and I get to watch you both experience it for the first time! Please, continue.
Two Of My Favorite Buffy Episodes!😭🫣🥰🧛💥🎛🖥💘
Becoming part 1 was a great lead into the brilliant S2 finale Becoming part 2. So much in this episode to digest. The loss of Kendra, Angel's back story being turned by Darla, and we also see Drusilla being tormented by Angelus in The Confessional. At least the floppy disk has been found, and Willow can now work her magic. We now have the climax to come, and you will not be disappointed a brilliant last episode to come. I think you can now really see how this show engrosses all reactors that enter The Buffyverse! Only downside to this is David Boreanaz's absolutely awful Irish accent!
Girls if you don’t keep posting all these seasons - you gonna hear it!
Yes bring on season 3
Please please please keep reacting to Buffy. Season 3 will NOT disappoint. Promise. (Though we've already seen my favorite exchange in the whole series: ANGELUS: "What's left?" BUFFY: "Me.")
Here we go!!!! I've been waiting all week for this one. 😊
This is one of the best season finale episodes of this show.
I've always been a Team Angel girl. But I do love the Buffy and Spike team up in this episode. And even though I've always loved Angel, from this point on in the series you just gotta love Spike as well.
You guys definitely need to continue on with this show. Season three is just as great. Your "Buffy" reactions is the best part of my Friday evenings.
Definitely looking forward to the next reaction, and the start of season 3. 😊
Loved Kendra so much, she had so much potential however I understand why she was killed but still sad we lost her
S03, pls 🥰🥰
The talk with Joyce is 100% a coming out analogy, though it's not a perfect comparison, as Joyce's reaction in this situation is actually kind of understandable, and I don't really blame her for it
Oh I do love you boys ❤ so so much!! I want to give you a hug 🤗 the writing on this show was so ahead of its time - people were so confused like why am I crying this is a vampire show 😂😂 let’s go season 3 xx
What an excellent season of reactions. Congratulations, you have now descended into the joys and heartaches of the Buffyverse. The reason about the show continuing was not about ratings, it had become the cash cow for the WB and Tuesday night was now the biggest ratings night. Joss Whedon was from a television entertainment 3 generations family. He knew he would only have certain windows to leverage money and control. It was after the network saw the scenes from I Only Have Eyes Doe You, that they believed David B could carry a show. The Angel spin off was proposed to Whedon before the shooting started on Becoming and the backstory maneuvering started. Whedon secret weapon in the negotiations was the participation of Sand Dollar Production.( They are in the final credits)Sand Dollar is owned by Dolly Parton and she has very good lawyers.
Besides being darn entertaining you also pick up on many things missed by most.This will help in the coming seasons. Has you go forward try to keep in mind that this is not just a typical television show storytelling vehicle. You should think of Buffy like a great epic novel. It is entertaining filled with action, romance , and humor. But like a novel, the story takes its time, puts in motion plot lines that develop over time, and has meanings more than the visual elements. I know you are going to keep enjoying this show and become hooked like so many have. Thank you for your reactions and the entertainment you have brought to me.
It's crazy how much Willow's intro to magic is telling for the rest of all the seasons. I'm very excited for you both in this journey to see all and seasons.
Here already!? Omg 💗💗
Thank you thank you THANK YOU for catching the “paperweight” callback!
And now we've witnessed probably one of buffy greatest plot holes/errors. How did spike manage to take out Dru....by CHOKING??? Hello, they dont breathe 😂
I head canon that as best I can that vampire blood does circulate (since they do bleed) despite their hearts not beating, and he cut off circulation to her brain. It's lame, I know. But...
Watching this two part finale when it first aired had me devastated for two weeks. First with ending with Kendra, then with Buffy getting Angel back only to lose him again.😭😭😭😭 Joss Whedon had all of us emotional wrecks throughout the series run. And you NEVER see it coming.
I WAITED ALL DAY FOR THIS 😭
"It's this fucking theme that gets me too..." And then...we learn the name of the theme.
This season, from "Miss me?" to "Close your eyes" is an amazing achievement of storytelling, character development and performances. But it belongs to SMG.
Just her performance from the moment Angel's soul returns: going from all out Slayer fury, to confusion, then wariness, dawning hope, her ecstasy at being in his arms again..then the realization, awful horror and her steeling her resolve to do her Duty...it still chills after a quarter century.
Few shows have ever reached such a crescendo of operatic brutality.
You finally made it my favourite episodes of Buffy. Buffy coming out of Joyce is iconic. You can't stop now this is not the high point it is only just begun. The Buffy Angel theme is called Close Your Eyes and now you know why
Margs! Dang i just woke up but i guess I'm tossing a buzz ball in my coffee. Cheers!🎉
Xander doesn't understand that the curse is a much worse punishment than death for Angel and Angelus. Angelus is always in their suffering watching Angel do good not being able to hurt anyone
Your Buffy reactions are my favourite part of the week! I cant wait to go through this journey with you.. S3 is absolute killer with some of the all-time best characters introduced… yes, there are even more to come lol Lets go!
This Spike lover says Rock on Boys 🎉❤😂
This finale absolutely destroyed me when I first saw it. I loved seeing y'all's reaction to it and have been living for Buffy Fridays and Charmed Saturdays
Yes, please continue dropping the reactions! I really love your videos on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it makes my day every single time🤍🤍🤍
If you don’t continue reacting to buffy I might actually cry! Please don’t stop 🙏🏼
I so want to see more of your reactions on here. There's so many great moments to come that I would hate to miss out on.
Darla feeding Angel from her breast is symbolic of a mother feeding their child. This was done to show us that Darla is Angelus' mother.
I loved that they brought her back for this
@@seanduncan3624I've heard Julie Benz was insufferable when they filmed season 1, behaving like a total diva. They originally wanted Darla to stay longer, but couldn't bear working with Benz, and that's why Darla was abruptly killed. But it worked. Benz did some soul-searching, and became a much nicer person, and so they were quite happy working with her again.
@@migmit I never heard this. Probably not true tho
Cos she’s such a sweetheart
@@seanduncan3624 I remember Alyson saying in an interview about Julie making her cry and being mean, but then I've always been slightly suss about Alyson, particularly as she was Joss's favourite.
@@paulinerobertson6836 wow how random
This is the first time after several many years of rewatching of this show I noticed Xander’s arc this season, particularly the evolution of his relationships with Willow and Buffy. Nicholas Brendan brought it a lot more than I remember. This season is probably my favorite, between the character arcs and the raising of the stakes.
Please continue watching. As heartbreaking as these two episodes are, your reactions are comforting during the hard parts.
You have to continue. I can't wait to see you reacting to Season 3. It literally doesn't have a single bad episode.
PLEASE keep going! I live for these reactions! There's a special joy in witnessing newbies discover Buffy.
When they wrote the season finally, they did not know they would get renewed for a 3rd season. They found out around the time they were filming. The "come back soon" on the road sign was a signal to the audience that they had been renewed.
You have to keep watching. It's quite a ride, you can't imagine all you're in for over the course of the next five seasons. I know Buffy mostly by heart now, the only way I can relive the excitement of first watching the show is to watch someone else, who loves it too, watch it for the first time. Keep going!
Awesome reaction of my favorite Buffy The Vampire Slayer episode!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
I am so excited for season 3 because my favorite character enters!!!
Season 2 and 3 are the absolute best. Love your reactions, guys! Thanks for all your work.
I can't describe the absolute NEED I have for you to keep the Buffy videos coming. ❤
Love the Pedro pascal shirt! Awesome reactions and I can’t wait for you to start season 3! I cry every time I watch this finale, whether it’s watching the show or someone’s reactions to it. Can’t wait for more!
These two episodes are perfect.
I can remember crying my eyeballs out at the time and I still cry every time. "I was so lost" and "close your eyes" takes me out.
Buffy finding Kendra 😢
Joyce handles many things badly, but this may be her peak moment. Buffy has absolutely no choice in that moment other than to walk out.
"Take all of that away, what's left?"
"ME!" I ugly cry at this point. So proud of our girl.
I also think as a viewer if you weren't anti-xander already, "kick his ass" was the moment you'll never forgive, even if you enjoy him here and there throughout the rest of the series.
Being on S3. ❤
Please keep making these. Love Buffy and love watching your reactions. It’s a great way to start the weekend. I’m excited for season 3! 😊
You NEED to continue watching this for the channel!!!!! It just keeps getting better and better!
Fun Fact: The guy that found and informed Buffy of her destiny was the TV version of Merrick. A nod to the original film that inspired the series.
That’s a big rock… Can’t wait to tell my friends, they dont have a rock this biG… Loll
If I had known this was a drinking episode I would have waited until the evening so I could drink along with you!
You can’t stop now, keep the Buffy watch along going!
The worst thing about watching these in real time was the 3 month wait you had to endure between the heartbreaking season finale and the new season premiere! Be glad you all are able to jump in to the next episode right away!
