Good job Harmony's not still around. If she teamed up with the 3 supervillains they'd be unstoppable -probably, maybe.
OH MY GOODNESS! She would have made an AMAZING co-leader 🤣🤣
The blonde leading the bland🙄🤭
This episode gives us a recap or introduction to the 3 boys' specialties. Warren with tech, Andrew with demon summoning, and Jonathan with magic.
Who?
@@menachemsalomon Tucker's brother
@@Anfa18 the actor who played Tucker was not available so they made a brother.
@@menachemsalomon Tucker's brother
@@RetroRobotRadio Sometimes you wonder what a character would be like if s/he'd been cast differently. Could anyone else have made "Tucker's brother" as memorable and as lovable as Tom Lenk?
Angel and Buffy are now on separate TV networks, so both networks frowned upon promoting their competition, which is why Buffy and Angel had to see each other off screen.
I thought I recognized the guy in the hard hat (Vince) at 7:42 from Bruce Almighty. I was right, and he was in an episode of Angel too!
For some reason I've never had this thought before... does Giles have ANY family?
I don't recall him talking much about his family in England. I believe he once mentioned his father was a Watcher as well?
@@julesreacts yes, his father and his father's mother were also Watchers, but no mention of whether they're still alive or not.
In the comics set after season 7, we meet Giles' two aunts.
Here is the reason that I can justify Giles giving the "gift" of a substantial amount of money to help her out. In "Checkpoint" in S5, Buffy managed to negotiate reinstatement, a raise, and retroactive pay from the Council for Giles. Plus I've always been a bit miffed that the Council doesn't provide some kind of financial support to Slayers.
Thanks, Jules. Always a pleasure to watch your reactions to this series!
Thank you, Ken!! It is lovely to have you here and watching ☺️💜
Let's remember, Giles was always being paid as school librarian, and as a Watcher for The Council, and now as owner of The Magic Box. We now understand why he spent Season 4 happily unemployed, a man of leisure, he'd been double dipping the whole time! The least he can do is share some of that with Buffy. Unfortunately, while Buffy had The Council over a barrel, she didn't think about getting something for herself, only for Giles.
"She's a hero, you see. She's not like us."
Evidently, Jonathan has been obsessed with Mummy Hands ever since Ampata tried to kill him.
Did Tara really just walk off whilst Buffy was spaced out on the evil lint??
They did that whole sequence wrong, imo. If the idea is Buffy is experiencing time at a different rate than everyone else, then Buffy should've just been standing there frozen for hours. Tara would of course eventually leave to go get help, but Buffy just standing there would definitely draw the attention of a crowd. Given that it's a college campus, she'd probably also have little paper streamers and/or a hat on her when she snaps out of it. The way everybody ignored her completely suggests that she was also invisible while she was out of sync, but then I would've expected more people to walk straight into her and it only happened once.
We saw what happened between Buffy and Angel.
It was acted out word for word by Wesley and Cordelia.
It's worse than Willow and Tara just not paying bills in the last episode it was mentioned that they used Joyce's life insurance for expenses while Buffy was dead... .it never set right with me.
See that didn't bother me cause they were looking after Dawn and making sure the house didn't get sold/she didn't go to her dad or into foster care. So then using it to pay for utilities, food etc for the house they're all in seems fair enough to me, it's not like they bought a hot tub and went on holiday with the money after all. I guess one of them should have got a job or whatever but it's pretty reasonable to say that any job they'd be able to get in Sunnydale probably doesn't pay to support a family of 3 while also allowing them to go to college and do the world saving stuff they do. I can't fault a bunch of college kids for not dealing with that situation particularly well.
The thing in this ep that bothered me was Anya and Giles actually being like "oh we'll take it out of your wages" cause she forgot to get the delivery fee, was a bit too far, like... maybe cut Buffy a bit of slack on her first day? Since it's a fault with your training of her afterall and they didn't even bother to find out why she just left without saying a word. It's a comedy episode though, so it's just the humor clashing with the reality of the situation a bit.
No, it was mentioned that Joyce's life insurance went to pay her medical bills.
Welcome to the American healthcare industry...
@@stormwreath some, not all; they said she wasn't completely out of money, but getting there and that the medical bills took a good chunk out of the life insurance.
Regardless of how the life insurance was spent, even if it was for Dawn's benefit, now that it's running low they should be chipping in. They are benefiting by being there. They are adults. Even Xander is paying rent for his basement 🤷♀️ and that's HIS parents house, not his friends parents. The only ones who should be living rent free are Dawn (a minor) and Spike (who has no running water, heat,ect.... although --- how does he get electricity for his TV in the crypt 🤔 and any type of signal?).
And even Spike gambles, charges for helping occasionally and shows other ways of thinking about needing $$. Tara and Willow act like they have no need for it. Are their parents still paying for college, clothes, wicca supplies, etc? Or is that draining the life insurance as well??
taking care of Dawn made up for it all. As always, her father was somewhere far over the horizon.
This episode has the introduction of one of my favourite characters, Clem!
❤❤Clem
Getting closer... almost there...
I just assumed Giles was giving Buffy slayer back pay...
I don't think I will ever not laugh at, "Stop touching my magic bone."
Willow and Tara not understanding school issues, Xander firing her, Anya critisizing the sale (which involves Giles because he didn't say anything about said sale and wasn't listening when she was saying something during the loop). There's a reason Buffy went to Spike. On top of being resurected by those four minus Giles (in reguards to life/jobs), they, plus Giles, are playing by human rules and she is constantly bogged down by Slayer issues they can only pretend to understand. Giles suggestion about policework for Buffy in helping combine being the slayer with a job is one of the few things that could work because there would be some excuse for her slayer behavior and Sunnydale is the only place that wouldn't care about her record, and to be a police officer you can't have a record, juvie or adult.
Ohmygosh I warned you while ago Warren Jonathon and Andrew will spoil X-Files episodes for you!!! There's more X-Files they spoil so for notice don't listen when you hear them start pop culture reference X-Files!!!
I should ban them from the channel bahahaha
@@julesreacts Warren especially.
@@julesreacts it's too late there are mmm 5 to 7 X-Files episodes I seek waiting patiently for your reaction too and that one mentioned was one of them! Lol oh those nerds 😃
I still haven't forgiven Whedon for giving Warren my name...😡
It's Friday again with more of Buffy. I'm really liking the humorous episodes with those three guys Andrew, Jonathan and Warren who are kinda funny. as always your reactions really cheer me up have a wonderful weekend thank you Juliette.👋💙🇦🇺
I love that you remembered his name, Roger 🤣 I keep forgetting him hahaha
According to Whedon the theme of season six, or so he said before it began, was oh grow up. So that means that the big bad is?
I'm glad you mentioned Willow and Tara not working. Seems unfair that they're putting all the money responsibilities on Buffy.
Giles stepping up for the win🙂Awesome episode thanks so much Juliette🥰
Giles 🥰🥰 I hope you've had an awesome weekend so far, Tex!!
These 3 are class. so funny.
Nothing's worse than a kitten poker cheat...😂
That thing with the mummy hand also reminded me of Doctor Who. Very first episode. Of New Who that is.
Grrr. (Arggg).
The whole money issue...
Willow (and Tara by proxy) not helping with the bills is very aggravating. They don't even offer to help, yet they live there too.
Anyway...
The trio are the goofiest big bads we have seen so far.
Have a great weekend!❤
Who says they're not helping out? You're reading into a purely comedic subtext.
@@dudermcdudeface3674 it's never stated that they are helping out, as many other viewers have noticed. Never once do they mention they could help.
@@MatthewSnell-zh3cd Exactly. If they weren't helping, that would have been mentioned.
@@dudermcdudeface3674 Grrrr. (Arggg)
Loved this one!! 👋👋👏👏🙌🙌💖💖
The Trio? More like the Three Idiots
2:50 the code names are a reference to the Sandmen from the classic sci-fi film Logan's Run.
I posted before I saw your comment.
"any more than that would be way, way too much"
just last season, she not only made the council restore giles's salary, but also included years of back-pay.
Please post episodes 6 and SEVEN tomorrow. 😀
Haha 😅
Dr No the first Bond film and villain. Timothy Dalton actor who played Bond some say poorly.
I _really_ hate this episode. I actually think it's incredibly stupid, because it was clearly contrived to exhaust all of the logical avenues for Buffy to pursue. Like, nope, Buffy can't work at the magic shop, because that would make too much sense... 🤦♂
And could the Trio be more cartoonish? Seriously it's like they've stepped out of a bad comic book and it's painful. Why are they even wasting their time with this crap?
Warren a ) built a wireless camera _that's smaller than a button_ and could broadcast in HD (in 2002!), b ) and in this tiny gizmo he could also create a device that manipulates the flow of time locally... This is to say noting of the ultra-realistic androids he's built. Forget Sunnydale, forget these other two; it's the early Aughts, during the Dot Com bubble and he's living in California. He needs to get his ass to Silicon Valley and collect a huge payday and spend the rest of his days competing with other billionaires to see who can shoot the best rocket into space.
Even Jonathan's spell manipulated time too; somehow creating a time loop within the magic shop, but which they could watch from outside in the van.... 🤦♂
The construction one was just... dumb.
To compound the stupidity of all this, Xander's incredulous about demons attacking the site - seriously, in Sunnydale?
During the time loop, did Jonathan's spell also make Giles and Anya oblivious to everything going on? The part that really pisses me off is Anya taking the shipping out of Buffy's pay and Giles going along with it. BS. Buffy's ringing up a customer for the first time - a shipped order no less - and neither Giles or Anya are going over the process with her step by step to make sure she understand how everything is done and that nothing get overlooked, like the shipping?? No, that is on them.
Eh I wouldn't find it difficult for Buffy to accept that cheque from Giles after realising he was being paid a Watchers salary off the back of Buffy for those few years, then in season 5 she has the council reinstate his salary with backpay. My solution to Buffy needing a job has always been the idea that Giles should have made her security, since The Magic Shop has always been the #1 murder hotspot of Sunnydale outside of the highschool/bronze years, he could have need for a Slayer making the place safer.
One of my favorite lines: "The only person I can stand to be around is a neutered vampire who cheats at kitten poker!" And oh the way Spike looks at her when she's drinking, completely smitten! Could James Marsters be any more gorgeous?!
The way he looks at Buffy is mesmerising!
Think back to the season 4 finale, "Restless", where the gang is being stalked by the First Slayer in their dreams. Giles' dream features Buffy acting like a toddler while he is with his British girlfriend pushing a baby carriage. Giles has been conflicted for a while between his duty to Buffy and his desire to go home and have a life and family of his own. He is worried that Buffy is leaning on him too much, that she needs to transition to adulthood.
A vampire Friday with Mrs Juliette!
The reason this seasons big bad is three lame little men is because the real big bad of the season is life
I cannot WAIT for your reaction to 6x07 “Once More With Feeling”!
Jules, seeing how much you love cats I was eagerly waiting for you're reaction to the kitten poker 😂. Lets just assume Buffy managed to liberate most of them and they're free and safe from the monsters 😉.
I believe Willow, Tara, and Dawn were living off of Joyce's life insurance. I don't know what their plan was for when that money runs out. Maybe they thought they'd have careers by then or Dawn would be old enough to support herself 🤷♂️.
14:28 as a James Bond 007 fan myself, out of the 3 mentioned I gotta side with Andrew. Even though Timothy Dalton only did 2 movies, his performance was most accurate to the written character. Then 2nd I'd go with the original Bond Sean Connery (RIP), then in 3rd Roger Moore (RIP).
KITTENS! I'm still shocked. SPIKE, how could you?!?! I'll never look at him the same way 😭😭
Hello, Jules.💜
A highly amusing, slapstick sort of episode here, with some fairly serious overtones, and a, seemingly, complete lack of concern on the part of all the Scoobs. I guess they are just blissfully lucky there seems to be some grocery monies left, so they can continue to mooch off Buffy and Dawn. 😤
Yes, I do indeed agree with you, college is most assuredly not the correct choice in Buffy's life, or situation. College won’t do anything for her, long or short term.
Buffy seems to still be somewhat dazed and confused, like Tara - just not quite the same person, and lacking any sort of real confidence all around.
2:59 - that rotating dish popping out of the top of their van is so much more low-key that the Death Star painting on the side. And the fact that they can sit there, doing that sort of goofiness, and not one of the uninhibited college students would not notice them is somewhat unbelievable. 🤣🤣
Paid by the hour - slow down. Yeah, that I have definitely heard before.
I also have some questions about the placement of the spy camera inside the Magic shop - how would that get by Anya? An after hours break in maybe, or spell, but you would think, most especially a real magic store, would have some protections, or at least detection schemes. 🤔
The friends are freeloaders. They seem to have no remorse. Nor concern, for the problems facing Buffy and Dawn. It’s all just - “Yeah she’s just not back yet - Hey let’s eat!”
Giles, and Spike are the only adults on her side in this it seems.
I think, or hope, that the money from Giles, will do a lot to get Buffy back on track, although, like you, I found the closing line - “ … makes me feel safe, knowing you’re always going to be here.” combined with the look on his face, as she turned away, fairly ominous.
I also agree that, whilst they are extremely inept socially, the 3 goof balls definitely have the potential to be suddenly, and most likely unexpectedly, very dangerous.
A very good episode today. I am anxious to see where all this is leading us.
Have a wonderful Saturday, Jules.💜🤗💜 Have a great meal - dine out, or take away. Enjoy your weekend! 😋
I am having the promised rain today, and the wind is a doozy - 48 km/h - 85 km/h in gusts.🌬🌬 It is currently playing with my potted trees, on the balcony - tipping and spinning. Small tree limbs down in the neighborhood, and flickering lights, but all is good. It will be dying down in 3 - 4 hours.
Stay safe, and be well! 😊
Tom 🤗💜 wait, since when did you live in Australia 🤣 we are having the exact same weather today! VERY windy, not too bad with the rain though, and overall a bit cold. Hang on to your nests 🤣 stay warm and safe inside, Tom. I think tonight calls for dine out, and a little look around the shops!
I love that our thoughts are aligned here with this episode! The look on Giles' face was concerning, as is the trio. I mean, they are fine NOW but they do seem to know a lot of magic (can anyone in Sunnydale say a few words and presto, something happens?), and they actually seem to be smart as well. I'm just hoping it stays more on the Big Bad Comedy side as we definitely need a bit of laughs every now and then.
Have a wonderful evening, Dear Tom 🤗💜 be safe, careful, and be well!
This episode also commonly brings up the question of why the Council doesn't pay the Slayer, since it was confirmed in season 5 that they do in fact pay their Watchers; what with Giles getting back pay from the time he was fired from the Council.
Honestly, it's on brand for them not to pay the Slayer. They don't want the Slayer to become independent; they want her reliant on the Council.
The issue I do take is that, Giles knows how this works, but he should also know that Buffy can't realistically hold down a job and be the Slayer; she can't burn the candle at both ends. Sure, he gave her a check, apparently a substantial one, but that's a short term remedy. A better solution would be to just outright give her the pay he gets from the Council and effectively make it so she's paid by them, just indirectly. The fan consensus is typically that that's part of the reason the Council pays the Watcher anyway; with the understanding that a Slayer's Watcher will use at least some of that money to see to the Slayer's basic needs. Especially since, based on what we've heard from Kendra and to some degree Faith, the picture painted is that the Watcher effectively becomes the Slayer's guardian before she comes of age and doesn't live much longer after becoming adult - if she makes it that far. So that might as well be what that money gets put towards.
Alternatively - and this may not seem as fair, but more pragmatic - Giles could sign over his stake in the magic shop and let Buffy be the Silent Partner. The contentious part is that some people would say it's not Giles' responsibility, but arguably he has some stake in this. He's Buffy's Watcher and while she may be an adult now, Giles knows better than anyone what it means for Buffy to be the Slayer and the weight of that responsibility. He should also be the first person to want Buffy to be able to have some semblance of a normal life; and while having a "regular" job might seem like the solution for that, it's not realistic. Working a normal job by day and being the Slayer by night presents risks from a split focus that should be obvious to everyone; risks the Slayer (and the Watcher) can't afford.
Giles seems to have some degree of means; he wasn't hard up for money during season 4 and they said in season 5 the only reason he actually bought the magic shop was because he was bored and didn't want the Scoobies meeting in his apartment. Giving Buffy his stake in the business is a means to an end.
Alternatively, she could be giving self-defense classes in the training room in the back of the magic shop.
My top pick is that Giles should help Buffy open a funeral home. On average, funeral directors need roughly two years of schooling, and Buffy's already got about year. It'd be the perfect front for the Slayer. It'd explain her coming and going from the cemeteries all the time. She'd get advanced warning about various attacks, with the recently deceased being brought to her. And I say add some holy water to the embalming fluid and vamps go poof upon turning.
Giles could probably get things set up and have her work as his apprentice while she finishes school.
Excellent points!!
Yay here we are back again. Nope we never get to see the angel buffy post resurrection meeting though I think Wesley and Cordelia gave us a pretty accurate depiction of it Dramatization let's say. This is Joss Whedon short hand for while these two characters in this wpr;d would get together after these events there is actually nothing new that will happen between them. The Angel-buffy arc has mostly run its course. It also left him a lost episode he could return too if new inspiration ever struck him.
Yes the nerds are still a thing. Logan 5 was the name of the Sandman hero from the movie Logan's Run classic sci-fi from the 70's Francis 7 was his friend another sandman.
Yup it's a tough season as buffy grapples with adult hood. I always thought he gave her ten thousand in this situation. I'm not sure why.
I'm so curious about the amount as I'm nosy 😅 10k sounds like a reasonable amount, and very generous!
I assume that whatever rent and bills Willow and Tara were paying for their dorm rooms in the previous season, they're now paying towards the upkeep of the Summers house -- but I also assume that the money to pay for two college dorm rooms isn't nearly enough to pay for a three-bedroom house, so the bills are mounting.
(I'm also shocked by the number of fans who assume, without evidence, that Willow and Tara are not paying anything towards the house.)
It might be better financially for Buffy to sell the house, but I doubt she's in any mental or emotional state to consider that right now. Also, as the bank advisor told her in the previous episode. Sunnydale property values are so low (and falling) that her house is 'losing equity' -- I assume that means it's now worth less than the mortgage on it.
It's such a terrible situation 😞 Buffy has enough to worry about without money added to the mix!
Buffy ❤
22:37 Not sure how it is in Australia, but here in America, you can sell a house even if the mortgage isn't paid off, as long as the value of the house is greater than the remaining mortgage. The new owner will give you a down payment, their bank will pay you the rest, and then you can use that huge amount of money to pay off your own mortgage with your bank and still have a good amount left over for yourself. Then again, Buffy's house may not be worth as much as the remaining mortgage, since Sunnydale property values have never been competitive.
Yeah, that's pretty much it here too. Hmmm. Poor Buffy. I feel bad for her, she deals with SO MUCH all the time.
I'm glad you have fun with the Trio. Some reactors take them too seriously, and they're not meant to be.
They are very funny, and I always love the comedic elements! I am slightly concerned with how things may develop, but for now I'm enjoying the laughs 😅
Dear Juliette look up David Duchovny by Bree Sharp for a nostalgic drop of joy.
What happened to the X Files reactions?
Is that the David Duchovny why don't you love me song? Yep, I remember that 🤣
I'm taking a break from more reactions as I couldn't keep up. It was really affecting my mental and physical health 😭 I'm feeling so much better now!
@@julesreacts That's okay. Take your time and feel better.
Cuddle one of your meaow monsters.
Thank you!! I really appreciate your understanding. It's only now that I'm managing better, I'm able to see really just how I wasn't, if that makes sense!
@@julesreacts Sometime things have to take their natural time to make sense. To get to a space where we can take a better look ourselves and see the next step forward. It's all good. It'll be okay.
The way spike looks at Buffy while she's downing the shots kills me
He has the BEST facial expressions!
jule's reaction when they cite that x files ep lol. remember that one
To be completely honest, I can't remember what they said 🤣 it's probably for the best if I continue to not remember if it is an actual episode haha
❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
❤❤❤
Got to love Giles the rakish uncle.
I wish I had a Giles 😭😭
It’s so SO easy to not take the Trio at all seriously, but this may be one of the greatest story arcs ever filmed, IMO. Nearly “Babylon 5” level storytelling.
Hmmm…maybe not quite B5 level. Nothing comes close to B5. It set the standard for Season and Series story arc serial television. BtVS, among many others, wouldn’t exist without B5 defining the format.
I completely agree with you
JULES❣ I love this episode and your reaction was priceless :) I have a request. Buffy S6 E7 - well it's special and quite a few reactors have uploaded 2 videos for it, part 1 & 2 for youtube so a little extra can be uploaded. Any chance on that? ❤
It will be in the one episode but I have something planned for a little extra, don't worry ☺️
@@julesreacts ❣❣❣
The three wannabe super villains aren't really aren't meant to be taken seriously. Frankly, I enjoy their geeky references and discussions most of all. One about who the best James Bond was cracked me up. They're more pests than a true threat, until...
I believe that the trio's chatter is taken directly from the conversations of the Mutant Enemy writers. Joss and his team were all admitted pop culture geeks.
They are very funny 🤣 best Big Bads ever haha
Ironically, Sarah knew more about construction than Nicholas. I appreciated the Monty Python reference during the shop scene, shame you edited it out. "This mummy hand has ceased to be! It is an ex-mummy hand!" DrunkBuffy is funnier than CaveBuffy. If she was trying to get a mortgage, I assume they owned the house (sounds like a rare thing in America, these days). Since Joyce had thought ahead, it's fair to assume the house was also in Buffy's name. That's what my mother did after the first cancer. Unfortunately, it was a good idea.
After five years working in America, Anthony wanted to spend more time with his family, back in the UK. I didn't find out until later that some fans were unreasonably stroppy about his reduced presence in the show.
Ms.Jules, why do you insist on continuing to mock us.
Your laughter will turn to fear, when you see the white van with the Death Star emblazoned parked on your street.
Jonathan, go get your magic bone. Okay, Andrew what shall I do with it. Unleash it's full fury on Ms.Jules.
~ the Trio
They were just construction guys, Jules. Their brains can't handle monsters. Let alone getting saved by a college (aged) girl.
"And kittens are...stupid currency!"
Still one of my favorite lines from the series.
Also, Jonathan's devil disguise is modeled after Satan from South Park.
Unpopular opinion but I think Giles should have given her money a long time ago. Remember, he was getting paid as a watcher and even got paid for the years he wasn’t a watcher thanks to Buffy. I know its not his fault that slayers dont get paid, but I think the respectable thing to do would be to give all or most of his watcher money to buffy and just live off his librarian/store owner income.
I still dont understand how they allowed faith to live the way she lived as a teen slayer. I mean she was clearly struggling just to pay the motel fees and she probably wasn’t eating regularly with how she scarfed down buffy’s food.
honestly giles is still being paid by the watchers council. everyone always comes back to the glaring question - why isn’t buffy?
Yeah, I remember being confused when it looked like the Trio would be the Big Bads, but after a while I realised it makes sense. This season focuses on a lot of heavy character arcs, so it makes sense to have a smaller, sillier Big Bad. Plus, after the previous Big Bad was a literal god, where do you go after that? It's like how after Season Three ended on such a big note with the Mayor, Season Four had a smaller scale Big Bad.
That said, just because Warren, Jonathan and Andrew seem like idiots, they shouldn't be underestimated. There's nothing more dangerous than an idiot with power.
As for Buffy trying to figure out her next step, it's both funny and heartbreaking. It's always irked me though, just how little help her friends are. Willow and Tara have been living in the Summers house for months, yet they don't make any attempts to help with expenses. I always got the feeling that after bringing Buffy back they just expected her to carry on while they got on with their own lives. It's why Spike's the only one she feels she can open up to now.
I'm just glad that Giles stepped up to help. That final shot is concerning though, and it sets up my favourite moment from my favourite scene, which I believe we're only two weeks away from.
"Stop touching my magic bone!" XD
Lmao, Buffy tearing out the bell and having the satisfied grin, smashing Giles glasses, attacking the customer, and then crying during the groundhog day loop.
Buffy's repeated grossed out reaction to drinking, lol!
While I dislike Warren, his reaction to Andrew naming Timothy Dalton as his favorite Bond is correct.
"I was just being polite. I'm taking the money." XD
"Why is she here?"
Duh she's doing whatever it takes. As someone who has needed to bounce between retail, waitressing, child care, contractor assistant, and office admin ... Sometimes you take whatever you can get, when the opportunity is there. Worry about the job you want when you have a cushion that allows you to be picky. 🤷♀️
Mentioning waitressing.... she got experience as Anne🤔 it's quick, less taxable (with cash), paid daily, generally more flexible hours 🤷♀️
It's weird The Council isn't helping out with her bills. Granted she's probably not their favorite person, but she did stop Glory and she's guarding the Hellmouth. Kind of an important job that she'd have a hard time doing if she gets kicked out of her home.
Unfortunately, rival networks at the time frowned on having their stars appear on each other's shows. What if an Angel watcher becomes interested in watching Buffy which would be bad for whatever show on Angel's network that airs opposite Buffy. Yeah, I know. Who's watching Angel and not watching Buffy? But that's the way networks think. Notice they don't even mention Angel's name. Fans just know who she's talking about.
Juliette: Ha ha! Those three are going to be the Big Bad for this season, aren't they?
Everyone: **Awkward Monkey Puppet meme**
Anyone notice that half the gang are living at Buffy’s house and none of them are offering to pay rent or help out in any way with the finances?
That definitely won't be brought up again ..... 😬
It's unreasonable to expect them to afford rent when they have to pay for all those art classes. Everyone knows art and philosophy classes will pay dividends in the future.
and how do you know they didn't try or did so off screen? Always irks me that everyone jumps to that conclusion. Also, who is taking care of Dawn when Buffy is out patrolling and Xander working full time? Certaily not Anya, we know how self centered she is,..No one ever thinks about that. Willow and Tara took care of Dawn pro bono when Buffy was dead. They were not obligated to but they care about her
@@Nexusofgeek It’s great that Willow and Tara care about Dawn and took care of her, but it still doesn’t pay the bills.
"Francis 7, this is Logan 5" is a direct nod to "Logan's Run", (the book not the movie), which establishes both the Trios' and the writers' nerd credentials.
Tony, the foreman, was complaining about being behind schedule. Buffy could easily have helped them catch up, but when she used her strength to do so, one of the other workers complained that she was working too fast. Were the guys intentionally trying to stay behind schedule?
I just love this season so much....
The whole money issue is a bit of a plot hole. For example why doesn't the watchers council offer Buffy a job as an agent? It would allow them to regain their influence over her and we know they can afford it.
The whole objective for the three guys was to test Buffy and try to find any weaknesses. And of course they had to make it a competition amongst themselves.
39 pages left in the book of Buffy and as with our lives its moving too fast. Jules always makes Friday night sing.
21:15 oh boy, that’s something the buffy fandom argues with each other to this day: why didn’t Willow and Tara get a job or something and somehow contribute to the household if they were living there?!
My personal favorite Buffy episode.
Buffy is way better at taking shots than she is at drinking beer.
The best way to understand season six is to recognize life itself as the big bad.
The Trio are my favorite characters of the entire show!
👍
Without doubt The Trio are so irritating at this point, especially Andrew. I get exactly what people saying about them at this point, as they are not lending to the seriousness of the storylines. As if Buffy didn't have enough to cope with, now we have these goons messing with her life. Spike bringing Buffy to the poker game for kittens brings some light relief. All in all I don't think it was a pretty average episode.
"Good luck, boys"? Watching Jules is going to be fun again for this season of Buffy! Mwahahahaha! 😈
Those fellows are too funny 🤣 I've always loved a comedic element and they definitely deliver!
I believe the word is that it was actually booze Sarah was drinking adding to the lore.
That would make her reaction very believable haha
well, Giles does have access to the watchers council and their resources, but my favorite part is Jules being derailed by the kittens. love your reactions as always
Charlie, thank you 💜 the kittens were beautiful. They must be saved!!
Love the nerd trio, and this episode gave me the best laughs I've ever had... at least until a certain episode of Angel far into the future.
As for the Big Bad, last season the Scoobies defeated a god and there's really no way to escalate from there, so this season the Big Bad comes in a very different form to challenge them.
The nerd trio add a much needed laugh to what seems to be a serious season 😅 it's certainly one of the most unique villains so far haha
i don't think the writers cared too much about the logic of the minutia of the finances too much. they wanted the characters in the house together for the sake of plot. any rights and wrongs that we make up in our heads about the fairness of it all is really not relevant to me. if the writers didn't care to go into the rights and wrongs and decided not to give us details of who's paying rent etc. then i take it that we as viewers are not supposed to care about it all. if they wanted that stuff to be a point of contention between characters they'd have written it in. i just don't bother thinking about it. i give the writers a break and let them have the characters in the house without having to justify all the nitty gritty of the finances. the level they went to here is enough for me to be ok. i don't read thing into what is not shown. for instance they did not want us to watch and hate on a character for not paying rent. they just wanted them together and if they don't want unfair living situations to be the narrative i'm happy to go along with it.
i just typed and typed and it's an incoherent repeating ramble but i can't be arsed to edit it.
Okay. So the major question on everyone's minds: Jules, which James Bond do you think was best?
I've not seen a James Bond 🙈
@@julesreacts Oh. I guess you've been sort of busy the last 62 years. That's okay. There's no time like the present.🙂
Some advice for when you do find the time: Whatever you do, whatever people tell you, DO NOT start with the Daniel Craig films. You're better and more refined than that. You deserve to start at the beginning with classic Bond- Sean Connery.
What is this story? Seriously. She goes to work in construction, then after some time she gets drunk with a vampire and goes to a dirty bar to watch poker game. Is this a guy going through a midlife crisis? Was someone from the writing team writing about themselves?
Yes, that’s what writers do.
@@stephenharber5694 That's why I can't relate to her. I don't understand her, the story and what she does. And especially how she will treat Spike later, including everything that was there, what was that? And they explain everything so easily 'oh, she was just depressed'. Oh, then everything is ok.
When they were trying to write a show about a woman I don't think that most of the authors really understood them. They know teenagers and write how teenage mind and relationships works, but woman's psyche they mostly don't know. And there is a difference.
Getting SOOOO close to 6x07!
oh, wait... I'm noticing comments that are a month old...which means you've already seen 6x07 😁
I have! We are ahead on Patreon a little ☺️
Kittens are delicious!
NOOOOOO 😭😭😭
@@julesreacts they are too sweet to eat tho
I do love S6 but the "Buffy is broke" storyline just makes no sense. As far as i can see the writers just wanted to load more "realistic" stress on top of her other issues. So many holes in it from the council not helping, Tara and Willow not contributing etc etc. Mend the Buffybot and send that out to do menial work 24 hours a day to bring in cash! Sorted!
