In talking about her role as Faith, Eliza Dushku said something to the effect of: "She wasn't sure if she wanted to *be* Buffy, or if she wanted to be *with* Buffy." So she was definitely going for sexual tension in their scenes together.
And we all love her deeply for that!🤎💛
I’ve heard that writers leaned into that but somehow Joss was clueless. It had to be pointed out to him.
@@zemoxianHe was probably too busy boasting how he makes his writers cry when he publicly humiliates them, harassing his staff and actors and trying to S.A Michelle Trachtenburg when she was a minor.
I wouldn't really describe myself as sapphically inclined but even I can see this ship is compelling on like a fundamental level.
"i'm putting faith in this mid season finale" witch!
Lisan Al Gaib!!
That moment was awesome 😂
Just came down to say that. ;)
Yup, I definitely noticed that! :)
I zoned out a lil bit while watching and then I heard "faith in this mid season finale." and I was like wait, did she get spoiled ?
“This Year’s Girl” is a song by Elvis Costello. Essentially, it’s about a one-time “It girl” who has now fallen by the wayside and basically forgotten.
Thank you I never understood this title!
It's not that Spike can't hurt anything innocent. He can't hurt humans. Even guilty ones.
You beat me to it I was just about to say the samething
Yeah - Riley told Walsh "Hostile 17 can't hurt any living thing." That wasn't any innocent thing, just any living thing. Whether that covers animals, fish, demons, we aren't sure, but humans, even evil humans, are protected from him.
@ernesthakey3396 it's only humans
@@matthewlangley5794 pretty sure Angel had eaten rats and such to feed his hunger once he got cursed with a soul. But Spike is shown to be quite HUNGRY at times, begging for blood from the Scoobies. Would he do that, if he could just eat rats, cats, dogs, etc.? I don't think so.
@@ernesthakey3396 its spike. of course he would.
Cass getting flustered when Faith wakes up is a whole mood.
She spent so long explaining how it was gonna happen at the very last second of the episode 😂
You: “Im putting my faith in the show”
Me: “I-… what was that?”
🤣🤎
What was that? James?
Your face when she said 5x5 was priceless and relatable
On the idea that Faith and Buffy's conversations are filled with an almost sexual tension you are absolutely right. Eliza who plays Faith purposely played her as having a crush on Buffy so that she has a whole 'Do I want you' or "Do I want to be you' thing going on in her head. And the fact that she plays Faith with that in mind makes Faith's constant obsession with Buffy's romantic status stand out. She wants any guy Buffy is with and even seems jealous of the attention Buffy gives them. She sleeps with Xander cuz he's close to Buffy then immediately starts asking Buffy if she was ever with him, even seeming disappointed when Buffy denies ever having anything with Xander. She shows interest in Scott Hope (hope I got that name right) who Buffy was trying to start dating in season 3 then when he dumps Buffy before the dance she invites Buffy to go with her instead. Once it is revealed that Angel returned she is easily swayed by Xander into trying to kill him (thought that may be more to do with what she's heard about Angelus). Like it's interesting stuff. She flirts with Buffy constantly as well and I even heard that in one of the episodes when they fight they were supposed to kiss. The specific directors or writers (I don't think Joss wrote on that episode) wanted a kiss between Buffy and Faith but they couldn't get it greenlit by the studio so instead Faith kisses Buffy on the forehead before running off. And like kissing each other on the forehead has kind of become their thing. Buffy does it when Faith is in the coma. Not to mention it's alluded and referenced (mostly as a joke I guess) that they were 'together' in the episode 'Bad Girls'. Like Faith literally draws a heart with an arrow through it on the window when she convinces Buffy to leave school. They fascinate me.
That missed kiss was a true loss.X-((( I've never _seriously_ shipped Buffy&Faith,but I felt all the sexual tension and I always loved it!!💛🤎
The Mayor really cared about Faith. Remember how he acted after she was gone. He send every shanigan out to search her and was panicing, saying "she'll be alright' to convince himself. After she was found, he made this video tape. And all that on the night before his ascension, a moment he worked for for a whole century! On top of that, he did something Big Bads usually never do: He planned for the case of a failure and showing Faith an exit. When she switches her body with another person - someone without a family - and kills this one in her body, she could live on undected as a new person. I'm not sure, if it was the Mayors intention, that she switched with Buffy instead of a random person.
Cass pausing: Explaining her theory.
The Show: Nah lol
LOL
When you predicted she'd open her eyes at the END of the episode, I was cackling. I've been waiting for you to react to these episodes!
Spike can hurt the innocent. What he can't hurt are humans. He can no more hurt an evil human than he could an innocent one. And he can hurt innocent demons just as he can hurt evil ones.
It's really not that hard of a concept to grasp, right?
Haven't started the reaction yet, just watched the intro and... The "I'm putting my faith in" lines have me *cackling.*
Yes. The show is supposed to be in 4:3 (except for one specific episode) and the HD versions suck ass. Bad framing, excessive cropping, frequent issues with crew being in frame, and the lighting is completely wrong. The remastering was completely automated, no actual people involved in QC. You should really find copies of the SD version to watch instead.
@@xyex Which episode is not supposed to be in 4:3?
@@Nicamon OMWF.
@@xyex
Did not know that. Was it broadcast in letterbox?
@@zemoxian Yeah, anamorphic widescreen, just like Angel.
12:23 What do you mean? What do you mean? already!! Whaa..!! What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? 13 minutes in and she's already opening up her eyes? We're gonna... Are we gonna... Are are we... Is she gonna... Are we gonna see her wi.. Is she gonna come... Is this... Are she gonna...

😂😂😂😂
I love the parallel to when you said Faith listening to the conversation about Adam being a foreign language and then just after that, the gang talking about Faith is a foreign language to Riley.
Yeah Faith definitely was pressed about Buffy "new boy toy" lmfao.
2:53 "I'm putting faith into this mid-season finale." Nah, Whedon already had that covered.
Faith was in the basement probably because Sunnydale didn't have a prison ward and they needed to keep her far from other patients. The real question is where was that nurse? Her excuse was not just flimsy, but became more so when she becomes the one who calls The Council.
Even moles for the Council get a mandated tea break
@@ErisRising Should have put a smiley face because we know where she was. She said where.
Why would that patient go to the basement? She was trying to get to the third floor. That's up, not down. And the nurse is supposed to stand next to Faith 24/7?
Actually, I think that the Council was just secretly hoping that she would die. And I think the darkness of the hospital was created for the whole mood and atmosphere of her coma dreams and her waking up.
@@godmagnus I've seen many people mistakenly get on a down elevator they thought was going up. My question is if hospital personell know what Faith did and where she was located, why would they allow elevators to go that far, why not have them stop before there or have warnings not to go down there? Perhaps they did and this girl just naivly didn't see them. Which comes back to the, in-universe question the detective asked; why was the nurse the only one watching her and not a guard of some kind?
You are correct about the aspect ratio. Except for one episode the show was framed for 4x3 so the R1 DVDs are the best way to watch it. It's not too egregious in the R2/R4 DVDs (which are 16:9 s4-7) but there are other instances of spotting crew. The version you are watching (on Hulu?) is the same as those and it's certainly fine. Obviously ppl have warded you off the so called remaster which was a disaster.
Correct, she’s on Hulu, which is the streaming version she has access to! Agreed on all those problems with it though hahahaha
The Buffy v Faith fight scene is one of the best put to film. I love the door slam where Faith goes straight through the glass.
i dunno what you mean! buffy's five-by-five!
People are jerks with the casual spoilers in the comments. I hope Cass doesn't read these.
Seriously it’s so annoying and rude like just shut up oh my god if something is foreshadowed then bring it up AFTER the reveal happens, not now. It’s so disrespectful to reactors when people do this, fully ruins it for them if they see the comments.
FWIW: I try and politely call them out on it. Every now and then someone’s just being an ass, but a lot of the time I’ve said something like “hey, this is a bit of a spoiler. Can you delete this?” , people have. Trollers gonna troll, but most of the time (IME) it’s just someone getting excited.
@@noahrobin1941please do continue to do this, I’ve been out of town this week but yeah typically i try to go in and delete spoilers so this polite way is def helpful when I’m quick scanning!!! Appreciate you (:
Your excitement when Faith opens her eyes!!! HAHA love it!!
I think it is because they haven't been a thing in quite a while but if you think about it, it should be quite clear who the team is, hints is that they keep an eye on Faith, knows Giles and did warn Buffy ;)
To be fair, I think it was actually the police that warned Buffy, since they have put it together that Faith killed the deputy mayor and might even know about the volcanologist, they probably gave Buffy the courtesy of letting her know that a psychopath from her past is back and loose. I don't think The Council would give a rat's ass to let her know.
I think you gave Faith a little too much credit for thinking - she's more of an "act now, maybe think later, maybe just go party."
Im putting MY FAITH in this show 😂 damn right
I hate previously ons as they give away a lot.
She was in a coma. She wasn't on life support. She wouldn't die unless she starved.
Spike can't hurt humans. Innocent or not.
DO NOT WATCH the remasters. The framing is wrong. The coloring is wrong. They did a horrible job. If you see crew. Immediately switch to the 4x3 versions. Things you shouldn't see are in frame. Things that should be in the frame are not.
Haha the only viable option for her is the Hulu streaming version, which happens to be the remastered! Even if she had access to dvds she doesn’t have a player nor would it work with how she films, so it’s gonna be the Hulu versions for her reactions, despite all the problems with the remastered unfortunately hahaha
@@coreyissus That deeply sucks.
If there’s a known-good version available via stream, someone could set up a PayPal or something so she could buy the good versions. If it’s, say, $20/season, we’d just need 20 people willing to kick in $7. I say $20, because that’s google play’s price for what they’re calling “SD”; no idea if it’s the remastered version, tho. Just a thought.
Oh watching the remaster does suck! An atrocity!
I remember when Faith first got introduced and how you did say that she wants to be Buffy. I had commented that you should keep that thought in mind because your initial analysis of Faith literally reminded me of this episode. Glad you enjoyed it. This and the next are like my favourite Buffy episodes though I have only seen up to the end of season 5. I literally only started watching Buffy because I saw some videos shipping Buffy and Fait lol.
17:00 there's a difference between someone who is in a coma that they don't expect to wake up, and someone who is on life support. She was able to breathe on her own, and her organs were working. The just didn't expect her to wake up. They usually "pull the plug" when the organs are not able to function by themselves. Active brain function and no organ failure... they usually keep it going.
You need to get the word innocent out of your head doesn't matter if it's an innocent or not spike can't hurt humans period
I've seen younger reactors (which is most reactors, lol) ask about "Y2K stuff" before. It really wasn't that commonly talked about on fictional shows. Mostly completely ignored. Y2K concerns were a very common news topic at the time, but didn't really cross into fictional programming much. Well, other than Newman and Kramer's competing New Year's Eve parties.
Meanwhile, Little Miss Muffet counting down to 2038. ;)
Agreed, Y2k was mostly only talked about on the news when they had nothing else to talk about. My family joked as were going to bed after midnight on January 1st that the world hadn't ended. There were casual jokes by late night comedians. I remember Conan's "In the year 2000..." jokes that were carried on well into the 2000s.
Yep. Whereas some of us (hi!) had spent the previous 12-18 months going over every damn system at our respective workplaces to make as sure as we could that nothing would blow up. And we’re at work until like 3am just to make sure. And that’s the job; no complaints. What always bugged me is how the media was all “yeah, and nothing happened”. Yeah, nothing happened because we put what I suspect was literally thousands of person-years into making sure. For those not in the biz, my 2038 reference above is legit; there’s another clock-related thing coming. Shouldn’t be an issue for remotely modern systems, but it’s still a thing. Search for “2038 problem” if you’re curious.
Weird; thought I made a comment here. Either I’m spacing or this website has nuked my comment (again). The thing that bugged me about y2k was it was all doom and gloom talk on the news outlets up until the day, and then it was like “well, that was a whole lotta nothing”. To which my response is “it was a whole lotta nothing because several thousand engineers worked for over a year to make sure it wasn’t a whole lotta something.” And a lot of us were up until 3am (or far, far later) on the 1st keeping an eye on things in case something got missed. I don’t care about the hours (that’s the job) or want any credit personally. The general lack of awareness bugs me on general principle. I suspect folks in other job sectors (eg power/water/waste management may have similar feelings). Just saying. :)
One of my fave episodes! I'm excited that you've finally gotten here.
16:30 The doctors were probably confident of that, the watcher's council on the other hand knows what a slayer is.
You thinking Faith was gonna wake up at the end of the episode and her waking up literally at the end of the scene and you losing your mind was sooooo good!!
Feeling sad when Buffy says things like "the reason we all forgot you is because we wanted to" just shows that you're a human being, and a compassionate one at that. Faith has done awful things, and she has also been through awful things. No human character in Buffy is 100% good or 100% evil - nuance is the name of the game.
4:00 I think it's in both their dreams, at least sometimes. The slayershave prophetic dreams and since there are two of them they sometimes share them.
I was laughing, literally, while you were describing how you thought the episode would end with Faith opening her eyes. But I have the advantage of having seen this when it originally aired. And the DVDs. But the title "This Year's Girl" was a major hint/spoiler on the second viewing.
I'm not throwing shade, it got us all the first time. It was a great episode, and you will almost certainly love part 2. Thanks, I always enjoy your reactions to this show!
"But the title "This Year's Girl" was a major hint/spoiler on the second viewing."Why is that?🤔
Part 2 is not only 1 of the best ep of this season but 1 of the best ep of the whole show IMO.🤩💛🤎
I think people forget that slayers have prophetic dreams. We’ve seen it happen with Buffy before
Talking about “Single White Female,” Faith went above and beyond!
Faith was the active Slayer.. the watcher’s council likely kept her alive simply to avoid having to find the new Slayer that would have been called when Faith died and have to deal with her
Most joyous reaction I have seen in ages. Brilliant.
The giggle you did at the end of the episode was so funny and relatable
Not everyone in a coma needs machines to breathe as long as their fed and given basic care they can live for decades.
Faith feels pursued by Buffy because the last thing that she "remembers" was Buffy needing her blood to save her lover (Angel).
the tragedy of the remaster. yeah the aspect ratio is all messed up
I don't think she's watching the supposed remaster. Hulu has the standard version and her s1-3 vids were 4x3. The crew issues were present on the R2/R4 DVDs which were 16:9 for s4-7, same as on Hulu.
@@TheDemonicPenguin Yeah I have the region 2 DVDs and seasons 4 to 7 are in 16:9 but not remastered. As you say, I think this is the version Cass is watching. I guess I'm not very observant because I never noticed the crew/cameras/boom mics in certain shots until it was pointed out! I didn't know for years that s4-7 were never intended to be in 16:9. I think I read Joss had control over how the DVDs were released in the US, but had no control over the DVDs in other regions.
The curse of the two parter. I couldn’t hold off watching this video. Now the long terrible wait for part two begins. 😢
Most likely Faith within a long-term care waiting at the hospital. Not every hospital has them and they're often in what is essentially a basement. And while the doctor did say in season 3 that she was unlikely to wake up with her having no family to make the decision to pull the plug pending on the state, they would allow the patient to be in a comatose state for a certain amount of time. And see if their air condition improved before going to the court. And pulling the plug. It's been awhile since I looked into it but I believe in most places it's about a year
My two favorite parts of this reaction: when Faith opens her eyes and you spend the next minute not being able to form a complete sentence, and when Buffy/Faith says "Five by five" and you say "Shut the fuck up". I love your reactions.
"the most fun antagonists are the ones that you can't hate completely"
Meanwhile I have not a single ounze of hate towards Faith in my heart lol Fave Buffy character.
#TeamFaith 🤎
Oh I was waiting for this one! Glad you're enjoying the season.
It is so fun to see your joy at being surprised during a episode. I think you realize the why the fan base is so avid.
Your initial thoughts on Faith's coma dreams are very insightful. ❤
The “You’re not me” scene is always in my brain.
Can you imagine if Buffy was more sensitive so that Faith overheard “If only we can find her and help her. What happened to her wasn’t her fault and we need to make sure the police don’t find her” instead of “if I were her, I’d get out of dodge post-hastey.”
Goes hand in hand with if Giles had simply called the council to confirm Mrs. Post was indeed Faith’s watcher, she never would have gone down a bad path to begin with.
@@arc7375 And then we wouldn’t have Faith’s amazing story arc 😊
Yay! Next episode is one of my absolute favorites!!
You weren't wrong. The episode ended with Faith's eyes open.
Spike's chip has no way to tell if someone is innocent. It's just a microchip, not magic.
Technology in this show *is* magic…
@@phuealtechnology is presented as being distinctly _in opposition_ to magic.
Machinery and technology are presented as masculine and with function, whereas magic is presented as feminine and representative of emotion.
@@arc7375 I wasn’t meaning they were literally the same thing. I was meaning that the power level of technology in Buffy is so ludicrously unrealistic that it is like magic.
SPOILERS
Think: several human-like robots; sentient software; Adam’s Gatling gun arm; Willow hacking into basically anything; and the technological components of loads of the 3 geeks’ machines like the freeze ray, the time-skipping lint bug, etc.
i still dont trust spike this guy would tear us apart if he didnt have that chip in his head hes a cold blood killer Miss you Angel and cordy
I've come to think that someone on the Watchers Council, or connected to it, who disagreed with the decisions they made about Buffy and Faith passed the info on to her; via Giles. It never seemed that the actual council would tell her anything unless she submitted to their control again. kerk
The Mayor truly loved Faith as his daughter, and even though he’d been planning his ascension for a century, he immediately puts it on hold and makes Faith his priority after she is missing in her apartment in the season 3 finale.
It’s his sincere love for her that allowed Buffy to manipulate him and goad him into chasing her into the library to be exploded, by boasting about killing her while brandishing the knife he gifted her.
And on the night of his century-planned ascension, he made sure to record her a tape so that he could talk to her from beyond the grave and gift her with magic to allow her to live a life without being hunted by the authorities for her crimes.
The man loved her from beyond his death.
He was an evil, evil man. But he never lied to her. And he genuinely loved her.
In the comics, his spirit would even visit Faith while in her coma in the form of animals he’d possess. Just to sit by her and keep her company.
True, he did love her in his own sick way and gave her stability. I always wondered why no "sane" adult like Giles or Joyce took her in, things would have turned out different if she had a support system. The way Joyce looked at her as a kid to be sacrificed so that her daughter could stop the slaying and be safe pissed me off. Very selfish to look at a young girl who's an orphan and probably has been in the system that way, expendable.
@@user-dx2dm8oq8g
a lot of people call joyce a good mother, but that's an insult to good mothers. joyce is well-intentioned -- where her specific kid is concerned -- but she's not a good mother. i don't know that she would have actually improved anything.
by contrast, we have actually seen giles do some reasonably good parenting from time to time, *and* as the watcher he was actually responsible for faith -- but clearly he viewed that as temporary and happily relinquished it when gwendolyn post showed up, and then westley. and honestly, not only was westley completely incapable of being anything faith needed her to be, but by the time he arrived it was likely too late.
By right, the Watcher’s council should provide active slayers with a base of operations (a home) as well as a salary. If Giles gets one just for providing information to the Slayer and training her, the Slayer should also be paid for actually doing the fighting on behalf of the council and Watcher.
The coma patient collecting dust is a pretty common movie and tv trope. But yeah, the dingy hospital thing doesn't really make sense, lol.
Spike can't hurt humans, nothing to do with morality, just species.
Eliza Dushku has confirmed she played Faith as bisexual and having a thing for Buffy. It's interesting when you know that how much you can see it's present in her performance, the jealousy over Riley here (I think Faith in some ways relates to Angel, too, she feels like Buffy dumped *her*, and Buffy killed her for Angel, so moving on from Angel then becomes an extra slap in the face for Faith). So yeah, you're dead on with noticing the sexual edge in the way Faith interacts with Buffy. I also think you're right about Faith seeing the connection and love and support Buffy has and feeling her lack of the same.
Also, trying to get the original aspect ratio would really be a good idea. The remaster is terrible and actually ruins a lot of things in the show, and yeah, sometimes camera men are visible in it, lol.
Great reaction. You looked really excited when you realised Faith was in the episode. 😁
Your reaction to faith waking up was priceless! I also screamed when you said "i'm putting faith in this mid season finale" because hey, I guess, that's what they thought too when writing it xDDDD
That part of the hospital is probably where they stick long term patients, or ar the very least convicts. Like she is also a wanted person, she wouldn't be with regular patients
I’ve waited so long for this…
so excited
It's like you watch an alternate universe version of this show when you talk about what happened
Faith is 5 foot 5 and always thought that's what it meant, but apparently it's a phrase used in radio communication in WW2 and it means "I hear you loud and clear".
its hilarious seeing Torrance High all busted up and demolished😂
The girl in red says it's "February 25th" at 13:46. This episode was originally broadcast on 22 February 2000. I'm not sure why the writers were three days off...
How did you celebrate "Faith Coming Out of Her Coma'' day?
I think this was the funniest reaction I've seen to this episode, with your surprise that Faith opened her eyes early in the episode.
I see that you're watching the HD version of Buffy, which is why you saw the camera man filming the fall down the stairs. When it aired on the WB (now the CW), the viewers didn't see that.
"The way that they talk to each other sometimes and the things that they say... I don't know what that's about..."
Hmm, I believe it's what the kids call "toxic yuri"
"Pulling the plug" is something that you do with patients who require special equipment to keep them alive. In the case of a patient who does not need that equipment, there is no plug to pull. And so they are often sent to a long-term facility, which I assume this clinic is. It appears "crusty, dusty" because the walls are all painted gray rather than white.
Love the vhs intro, random but would love for you to see Lana’s Coachella performance.
Whew!!!! Get ready!!!❤❤😂😂🎉🎉
It looks like you forgot about the team that the Watcher's Council sent to apprehend Faith after she had murdered her first non-demon.
13:24 clearly you've never been in a hospital in Tucson.
I’m sad nobody ever told you that the widescreen release completely ruins the presentation of the show! Go back to Graduation Day Part 1 and you’ll see the entire film crew in the last scene. If you ever do a rewatch, get the dvd set. The color grading and composition of the remaster is cuckoo crazy. You won’t regret the purchase 😅
I woke up in the Slab room. There's also acoma ward. Which is below the hospital. It's also an icu department.
My favorite reaction to date
the plot twists are the plot twists not happening
There’s a scene in an x files episode where you can clearly see the camera man too lol. I wondered how often that happened after watching it
It's funny how you're used to shows having so much filler that you're surprised that the last scene wasn't Faith waking up.
All of the episodes but one are meant to be in 4x3. They screwed up lots of other stuff, as well. I'm surprised they don't have you watching the "reactor's versions."
"this whole season has been the show tricking me into thinking that theyre gonna stretch something out, but then it just happens"
I'm guessing you watched Supernatural? God that show was the worst at making you wait forever.
It was a crusty-dusty part of the hospital because it was either the jail ward, or else a wing used for coma patients who never, ever receive visitors (so why bother making it pretty?). Both types of hospital wing exist in real life, although the show exaggerates the grunginess for dramatic effect.
Riley to Buffy about Faith: “I’ve never seen anyone get under your skin like this.” Oh, those writers…
You know, I don’t know that I ever noticed that one before. Nice!
Yeah, the HD remaster is infamous with fans for so many reasons.
Amazing reaction thanks, I about did a spit take when you said that you're putting Faith in the mid-season finale, lol.
And you are definitely not the first person to see the sexual tension between Buffy and Faith (Eliza certainly did, for one). I swear when she's got Joyce tied up Faith sounds like a bitter ex in her ranting about Buffy.
I don’t think that’s necessarily true for a comatose person. If they’re brain dead then the machines may be the only thing keeping the body alive is a different situation, I think.
I think a comatose person is still alive and may have a possibility to heal even to recover somewhat. There’s still some mental function if not consciousness.
A family may decide to take a comatose person off life support if the law allows. Not certain about that. I’m thinking a hospital probably wouldn’t decide that unilaterally.
In this case, however, I’m guessing the Mayor set up care for Faith in his absence which probably means she’d have as long as she needed to recover. Knowing she’s a slayer he would be pretty confident she would.
Likewise the Watchers Council would probably act in a similar manner considering they treat slayers like property.
Technically it was Giles who detonated the bomb in the school not Buffy and killed the mayor.
Cass rocks
Regarding Faith's dream. Slayer dreams are prophetic. That doesn't just mean seeing the future, it also means seeing the past. In the first part of the dream, Buffy stabs Faith. In the second part, Buffy Kills the Mayor, and in the third part of the dream, Faith and Buffy merge (in the open grave) and Faith emerges. The first 2 parts of her dream inform Faith of what has happened and the third tells her what will happen.
They don’t merge - they fight and Faith is victorious.
@@arc7375 2 ways of saying the same thing.
I just know you loved the next episode.
This isn’t the mid season finale. “Hush” was the mid season finale. Always assume if Buffy had a birthday then you JUST passed the mid season finale point. Buffy’s birthday is in January and the mid-season finales are in December.
I never thought of Buffy as doing midseason finales, really. In fact (and this may be more me than anything else), I never considered midseason finales as a concept until AoS. Possibly I just don’t watch enough shows. :)
No fking way I just discovered your channel and it seems that not only you react to my favourite singer (Lana del Rey) but YOU REACTING EACH EPISODE OF MY FKING FAVOURITE TV SHOW SHUT UP I LOVE YOU *subscribed, like, etc*
Did Faith just possess Buffy? Actually, it's a bit more than that.
9:09 technically, it was Giles
The remaster is an atrocious affront to television. They screwed up a lot around lighting adjustments as well
No. She didn't do possession. She swamped bodies. 🫂🎬💀
Yeah Cass, as others have mentioned before, you are watching the wrong version of the Buffy videos. The format is off, which is allowing you to see the cameramen. It's also cutting information out of the frame and affecting the original lighting, which is a bummer for you. There's actually a whole video out there about how terrible the HD formatting of BtVS is. Unfortunately you can't watch that becuase of spoilers. Anyway, if you can contact another reactor who has been watching it in the correct format, maybe they can clue you in on how to get a better version. If you're interested, try Alley Box, The LexiCrowd or Darcie’s Watching Stuff. Good luck!
Cass is so cute. I think I'm in love.
