    Buffy as a typical Slayer: Alone, utterly reckless, indifferent to the suffering of others and dying with a look of peace on her face...because it's over at last.
    Those bangs are the darkest tragedy in the series.
    I think the snow was a message to Angel: "You weren't brought back to be the Slayer's mopey boyfriend. Get to work." And maybe, just maybe the rarest of grace notes for The Slayer.

    The Wish has always been one of my favorite Buffy episodes, it really adds a vulnerability to Cordelia to deal with Xander but that look she gives when Harmony tells her that he and Willow were dead really speaks volumes, her character development is real underneath everything and Amends is another killer of an episode regarding everyone's acting talents. Great reactions guys!

  • @maddwitch

    Because we start the show with Buffy arriving in Sunnydale, it’s easy to forget that, like Faith, her first watcher died. When she first met Giles, she was over being the slayer, but she couldn’t look the other way while people were dying, so she ended up going back to it. Luckily, she got Giles, who went through his own period of not wanting the life that was laid out before him, making him more sympathetic and open to giving Buffy space to be herself. If she had been sent to a different Watcher, one who could have used the death of her first Watcher to prod her into focusing on becoming a better slayer, it’s pretty easy to see how she might have become this disconnect, jaded person who sees nothing but the job ahead of her until she dies. It’s probably part of why most slayers don’t live that long. When the chips are down, and she has to dig deep for the will to keep fighting, what does she have to live for besides more of the same?

    My gripe with “The Wish” is that they killed Cordelia and that she didn’t remember anything. It should’ve been a Cordelia-centric episode where she was the hero. And she could’ve came back to her own universe and realized just because she wasn’t happy with Xander and Willow, didn’t mean she couldn’t still be friends with Buffy or Giles. Her “friends” are superficial and are too scared to actually care about her. It also could’ve been a way for her to realize that her fighting demons isn’t contingent on her dating Xander. That it was something she did cuz it’s who she is as a person. I would’ve loved if they’d used this episode as a means for Buffy and Cordelia to get closer.
    21:20 Yeah, Buffy having no support system makes her go all G.I. Barbie. I’m also pretty sure that the lack of help from the Scoobies ended up with Joyce dying. That or Joyce got put in danger which forced Buffy to run away from home. Buffy’s original watcher: Merrick(RIP Donald Sutherland) had to have died in this universe too, as he had come to care for her a lot(and she, him) and sacrificed himself to save her. His death was the reason Buffy had “quit” slaying in Season 1. It’s really interesting because Faith’s story is essentially Buffy’s if she hadn’t found Giles. Though Faith has a lot of trauma Buffy doesn’t, it’s a very similar story.
    Her death by The Master in this universe saddens me so much because I think Buffy let him kill her. She didn’t have the fear or the prophecy of our universe’s Buffy so she wasn’t susceptible to hypnotism. And we see he didn’t use it here. A Slayer seems to be like a vampire, in that she gets more powerful and skilled with age. Not only that, but their mental state impacts their ability as well. Rage or just feeling powerful makes them more powerful. I don’t count season 1 because of budget constraints. But season 3 Buffy is not just more skilled than season 2 Buffy, but also seems to be stronger as well. Season 2 Buffy would’ve washed the Master and Season 3 would’ve had an even easier time of it. The Slayer is way stronger than a Vampire. There’s this rough figure that a lone Lioness can kill 4-5 hyenas, and a lone Lion can kill anywhere from 10-20. Hyenas will run at the mere sight of a lion-abandoning kills and everything. Regardless of whether the numbers are true or not(I doubt it). I think it’s a good analogy for Slayers vs Vampires. They start out as the Lioness and eventually make their way to Lion and beyond. The Master should not have been all that hard for G.I. Buffy to kill at all. She wanted it to end.

    3x09 Xander's on the phone trying to apologize to Cordelia while saying to Buffy and Willow that he and Willow didn't do anything wrong. Cordelia deserves better. And while Willow feels guilty, Oz is definitly correct. It isn't his problem that she just wants to feel less guilty about what she's done.
    3x10 If I were Oz, it would have taken me more time for forgiveness towards Willow. Personally, I don't think I would have. I'm on Cordelia's side of things (in regards to the get away from me comment), but Oz is better than most people, including me. He's a fan favorite for a reason.

He delves into Camus's The Myth of Sisyphus and the message of "we fight for what matters" throughout the runs of both Buffy and Angel. All of his Buffy essays are great, but that one (and the companion podcast he did with Lani Diane Rich) is especially captivating.

    You are a great couple and thank you for the entertainment you bring each week. These are 2 important episodes for many reasons. The importance and lessons are some that you will think about over your journey in the Buffyverse. I suggest that you ponder the elements of Amends. Season 2 had many important moments for Buffy and the understanding of morality, values, ethics, love, and forgiveness. Amends is a version of I Only Have Eyes For You. Buffy can only forgive Angel and understand the pain because of her experience has a killer in I Only…..etc. Angel only knows pain, self hate, and has no inner strength based on ethics, love, compassion for others , and forgiveness. The scene with them on the hill is the most crucial for Angel in his existence. What Buffy does for Angel is how he can triumph. It’s the start of Angels journey to understand what he has not for over 209 years
    Now why has the First Evil sent Angel back to kill Buffy? You answered when you said it was good placement for Thw Wish. We saw Buffy without the Scoobys, Giles, or even Cordelia. She was a Slayer like a mix of Kendra and the Faith. She died because she had no connection to the world to save her. Slayers have come and gone but Buffy is different. She has survived many times when other Slayers would have died because of her differences and connections. She is a force that is obviously different. This has alarmed the First Evil that uses the whispered word to subvert and destroy ( the serpent in the garden) The plan is to bring in a person the Slayer will trust to kill her. If that Plan fails then have Angel kill himself. The suicide of Angel would emotionally destroy Buffy( not forever but long enough) and thus make her weakened and able to be killed. The plan is working and will achieve one of the goals( and also get Angel back in hell) but Buffy steps in to defeat the First Evils plan, start the process of Amends and forgiveness for Angel, and have a major step accomplished for Buffy in her quest. This is an episode to store in your memory and refer to when Buffy and Angel deal with more than slaying a demon. Keep up with your great reactions

That last sequence, before the wish was reversed, was great yet terrifying. Even though it was in an alternate reality, it was crazy seeing Xander, Willow, Buffy, and Angel meeting that fate. Good seeing the Master again. Such a great episode!
    Episode 3x10: One of my all-time favorite Christmas episodes. David Boreanaz does a great job in this one. Enjoyed seeing Miss Calendar again. And loved seeing Willow and Oz working to get their relationship back on track.

    The Wish is always a fan favourite. A great concept here with the alternative reality. We get introduced to Anya The Vengeance Demon, the moral of the episode is be careful what you wish for. Cordelia being Cordelia opens up the alternative dimension, some great comedy one liners here too, and of course foreshadowing again for the future. Cordelia's vacuous airhead friends are so cruel to her and others. Giles saves the day confronting Anya and restores things back to normal. Again we see S3 being so innovative with much better writing and storylines. It just gets better and better.

Would you do one episode of Buffy plus one episode of Angel in each of your Buffyverse videos? Or maybe alternate between two Buffy and then two Angel episodes? Or follow the SlayAlive watch order and just release two episodes at a time of whichever show is next? Love you guys!

    ETA3: Buffy breaks Xander's heart in every alternate reality.

    Amends was one of the best episodes of S3, and for me personally a top ten from the whole show. We are introduced to The First Evil tormenting Angel through his past victims. The concept of The First is that it gave the writers a way of reintroducing old characters to add to the richness of the show, as The First can channel its evil through dead people attacking the mind of the living. The ending scene with Buffy and Angel is brilliantly acted when Buffy is trying to save Angel from daylight, SMG and David Boreanaz absolutely knock it out of the park here, and The Hallmark movie ending even though schmaltzy, just works so well with the storyline. Comic relief with Willow using Barry White to seduce Oz is funny but sweet and innocent too. Again the acting from SMG and DG at the end was superb. Another great episode keeping up the brilliant quality of S3. This is actually a very important episode. You can see guys that you really get the show, and appreciate the writing. S3 is just banger after banger, the quality of the episodes in S3 is amazing.

    A very well done what if episode.
    I love how everything connects and it doesn't seem forced. Willow and Xander different sides, the comeback of the Master. The cold Buffy and the prophecy of the Master killing her still happening.
    I don't love the Angel christmas episode, but it had good things. Xander family problems...
    And Buffy with the Courtney Cox bangs lol.

    In regard to The First, it can only appear as those who have died. And Buffy did die. The Powers that Be are not done with Angel -hence the freak Snow Storm.

    speaking of willow and the pilot you should see the unaired pilot, it has a different actress for willow. its here on youtube last i saw. the actress was ok, but the way she said her lines was different from allison hannigan who says them with a self depreciating way with a little cheer. the other actress was more depressionish.
    shows how just a slight different reading of the same lines can make a HUGE difference.

    This show really highlights a major theme of the show, the importance of friends and family. Buffy without her friends is not as good a Slayer. Great pickup that friendless Buffy is a cross between Faith and Kendra.

    Hi Sergio and Cody! Love you guys so much! Really enjoying my Buffy rewatch with you. Are you guys planning on doing Angel? If you were, I was wondering if you were gonna wait til Buffy was done or watch them together like they aired? Cuz some episodes of Buffy crossover with Angel and vice versa. LOVE YOU!

  • @spamfilter32
    @spamfilter32 Місяць тому

    Unfortunately, those bangs were a thing in the 90's. I remember, in my class, there was a student from South Korea who went to a hairdresser and got bangs, not knowing what they were. It was quite humorous.

    Love Anya, what a way to enter the show.
    idk if u saw but looks like Faith was being feed on outside the bronze, due to her not being chosen yet as buffy never died making kendra, who thrn died to make faith. (not sure how faith came to sunnydale without looking for buffy but still)
    i would guess oz was still a werwolf due to him being bitten by his cousin away from buffy's influence
    Love vampire willow also
    3x10
    love Oz in this episode, giving willow another chance touched my heart
    I miss jenny Calender also. one of the chars that could of been in the whole show
    the first took credit for angel being back but it was just that, taking credit.
    yh davids (angel) accent is dodgy at times, but james masters (spike) did a amazing job with the british accent. fooled me back in the day

    Making The Wish both more and less depressing:
    More depressing: it's implied by the way they barely react to Nancy's death that there used to be a lot more White Hats. They're totally desensitized to their friends dying. Was Jenny one? Did Giles lose her in this reality too?
    Less depressing: Darla and Luke are nowhere to be seen, implying that they at least got a few good punches in.

    • @kristinakirkland194
      @kristinakirkland194 Місяць тому

      I've wondered about Jenny in this timeline. Since Angel is here, it makes sense to assume that Janna was still sent to watch him - I always assumed she and Giles arrived in Sunnydale around the same time.
      That would also add some serious ouch factor to the way he trails off while saying he never told anyone here he was a Watcher. Because if Jenny was there and they were together, she would have known.

    TheWush is great.
    Eliza was just about to turn 18. Until then, she could only film 6 hours a day. This doesn't limit her total episodes. That is limited by the contract as a recurring character. If she was in the main cast, Ahe could be in every episode, but not too many scenes.
    I hate the snow. So, cheese.

    Let’s be real, Wishverse Willow and Xander are so hot. Sure they’re evil, but yummy. And it’s a key part of Xander’s character that not a lot of people pick up on, that his family is so full of angry alcoholics that he has to sleep outside on Christmas Eve to avoid fights. Kind of makes his going straight for the jugular in a verbal fight make more sense, knowing what his family must be like. Even siding with Joyce about ‘she cares about you, and you just ran away’ in 3x2 makes more sense when you know he’s from an abusive family.

    The Wish is a great episode. And the cast mainly Alyson and Nicholas made great performances. We see they need each other.
    In this world its the opposite, Xander kills Angel, Oz killed Willow and the Master kills Buffy.
    And not the first time, we hear Xander family is not a great one.

    Super disappointed with you guys not realising that Sunnydale is on the shoreline of California... Like it literally has a beach. The whole point of the snow was to disprove the claim that angel was brought out of hell by the the first evil or the source of all evil... And to establish that something divine and good rescued angel from hell and now rescued him again by performing a miracle.
    Buffy was literally mentioning throughout the episode over and over how hot it was outside.
    Now I'm kind of bummed out that you guys missed it

    Awesome reactions as usual, boys! I adore you both.
    The Wish is an amazing episode and one of my all time favorites (although I have many favorites in this season! 😂). Enter Anyanka! I love ANYA so much and Vamp Willow is so much fun and very evil and unhinged, and I love it! I also love her! And she's kinda gay! 🏳️‍🌈 Poor Cordelia. She just wanted a little revenge and not feel sad anymore. Magic for personal gain is always bad. Even in the Buffyverse. 😅
    Amends is also very good because we get to meet the First and see some more of Angel/Angelus backstory. 🤐 And ooh snow! In Sunnydale, a very Californian town. It's a Christmas miracle. 🎄
    Edit! I didn't know that it could snow in parts of California. My bad! 😆
