your watching a show about vampires, demons, witches and warlocks ... be careful what you say , the last thing we need is one. more. ADULT. ( so guu rooo ss ) nice chocker by the way
The only pressure I will put on you is to say that you should watch and upload at exactly the pace you feel like going. It's your channel, and burning yourself out, or trying to please every single viewer, will never end up well. You only get to watch Buffy for the first time once, so do it your way :)
Your commentary is very fun! You will enjoy this show a lot, I'm sure. Two tips: 1. if you tend to cry in movies/series: have tissues ready for every episode. You can never know when you might need it. 2. Do get mods to check your comments. The Buffy fandom is quite nice, but gets excited and tends to accidently spoil stuff through jokes or discussions in the comments. And as many others said before: take your time, whatever that means! If you upload multiple episodes every week or one episode every once in a while, people will be here and be understanding of whatever is doable for you. You can never make it perfect for everybody, so do it in the way YOU like and are comfortable with. ❤
I love the fact that you love season 1, because season 1 is Buffy at its most "normal". Season 2 is a jump in quality and identity of the show, that's where it really finds itself and starts becoming something which, after decades of watching Breaking Bad and GoT, I still declare to be the best TV show ever made. Buffy universe is expansive, imaginative and transcendent.
To clarify that this isn’t just random fans saying that Buffy is good - David Simon who created The Wire (always at the top of best TV lists)says Buffy is a better show than the Wire
@@andreduarte8372 Well, the creator of the Wire puts Buffy first. Obviously just an opinion. Personally, although The Sopranos is clearly a great show, I found dragged a bit in some of the middle seasons.
@@jspettifer Buffy (and Angel) is a brilliant show and absolutely seminal to so many other shows and writers, myself included, but I'll always put The Sopranos first. It's eminently rewatchable on its own, while I can't quite bring myself to make another trek through the entire Buffyverse outside of a handful of select episodes unless it's through the eyes of a reactor. Which I have, several times, and still find enjoyable.
My first thought seeing this upload was that I love how quickly you’ve delved into this series! But please take your time and enjoy the experience ❤ This is an incredibly special one
There are a ton of ways I can tell that you're gonna love this show, chief among them that you love it already, lol. But the fact that you already like Cordelia and think she's hilarious... You're probably the first Buffy reactor I've ever seen who does. Most are too hung up on hating the mean girl to realize that everything she says is really funny. Later, when talking about Firefly, Joss Whedon described Jayne as that show's Cordelia -- the character who, while rarely very nice, says the truth that others won't in a bluntly hilarious way. Again, I'm just so excited for you to see where Buffy goes from here. 2 eps per vid is fantastic, as long as that's not too much work for you. Take it at your own pace. This series is a bountiful feast, a buffet that should be savored and enjoyed.
The Mantis doll (mannequin? mantisnequin?) was loaned from another show. They had to return it undamaged, which is why they went with all this shadow theater. This episode showcases how Xander works when he can't rely on others to get him out of trouble. He uses his environment creatively (crafting a crude weapon from a cage bar), he comes up with a simple yet workable plan (pretend to comply, use the weapon to temporarily disable the enemy, run for help), and he keeps his cool while executing it. It didn't work, but it very well could.
I love the shadow fight scene because it's also a very stylistic way to get around a practical issue. Not just the fact the suit was loaned, but also the cost involved in actually showing a fight scene like that in 97 without it being completely ridiculous looking. Especially since S1 was made on a shoestring budget.
I want to make a time travel movie where a 90s bully walks into a modern high school and makes everyone cry. Also, I love how Giles is always quietly having a little too much fun with this shit. You'll find out more about Giles later. He's awesome.
Holy shit. Almost 30 years and I never considered the possibility that the teacher was a virgin! Impressive that you connected that. Though I will note that he might not have been. The She-Mantis goes after virgins as an MO, but she does so to "lure them back to her nest". Dr. Gregory might have just been a target of opportunity/necessity. The rest of that attack doesn't seem to fit her MO, so that part might not as well.
Enjoy your enthusiasm with your reactions. Whatever pace you decide is fine with most Buffy fans. We watch for many reasons but the reactors that are genuine, speak their mind, and react with honesty are the ones most rewarded. The times will give you more perspective on why this show was so popular with young adults. In 1997 , the demands of parents to have their children become super successful was starting. After school activities, sports, academics were being pressured by adults on children to be the best of the best. Common now but was ramping up then. There was a famous case in Texas were a Mother was arrested and convicted of trying to hire a hitman to kill the Mother of a rival of her daughter going out for cheerleading. The Mother thought that if the rivals Mother was murdered, she would be upset and quit the team and then her daughter would become a cheerleader. The Witch episode talked to us about what we were feeling. In 1997 , what had been considered highly esteemed people were being exposed . The first priest, scout leader, and coach sexual abuse scandals were shocking the country. But we were most interested in the what seemed twice a month scandal of a very attractive female teacher (usually late 20’s) and a male student, usually around 14. The parents and the girls all were disgusted. They would say, lock the teacher up, how terrible and that poor boy. We boys would nod our head in agreement with them but on our own…..Why can’t we get hot teachers like that. That’s the luckiest guy in the world.,etc. Ah the way a 14 year old boy sees the world. So this episode had a relevancy to us that is lost today. Hope you keep enjoying BTVS. The first Season is fun, innocent, and sets the characters. The budget, storytelling, and themes will change but you will enjoy because it’s subtle and takes its time. A few things to remember about BTVS…. All questions you have will be answered… not on your timeline and never exactly what you wanted. The final 132 episodes play out like an epic novel. Stories, plots, and events will toe in over many episodes, seasons , and years. It’s fun to try and guess what is going to happen but it’s best to take some notes, buckle up, and be prepared to be entertained.
I noticed three movies references in episode 3- Freaky Friday, when Buffy found out about the body switch. Star Wars, when Amy/her mom was choking Xander. The Shining, when Amy's mom used the ax to get into the lab.
Love your enthusiasm for the show. The bit I remember from this episode is where Buffy and Joyce are talking in the kitchen and Buffy refers to Joyce having 'Farah Hair' was a reference to Farah Fawcett Majors who was in the original Charlie's Angels, and was one of the most famous women of the 70's, every woman that time wanted the 'Farah Flick'. Witch was one of the better episodes of Series 1. Although S1 was a bit rough due to low budget and show finding its feet, it lays the groundwork for the upcoming episodes. Once this show reaches mid S2 it really picks up in every way, and produces some of the best TV drama ever written. In this episode the metaphor here is the 'pushy parent' who forces their child to things and is annoyed with them when they don't excel. The ultimate pushy parent, Amy's mum criticising her child and forcing her to do things she may not be able to do, then taking over her body. A decent little episode for early on in the show.
I love that the series broke from the restrictive mold of Vampire Slayer by giving her different opponents. Yes, that can sometimes seem like "monster of the week" but that is just as fun. Here you got two that are very different. Personally I like them both, but the Witch episode is so much better than Teacher's Pet. Season one is a bit bumpy in terms of quality, but they really establish the lore and the flexibility of what is to come. Thank you for a double dose! I know these were originally hour long episodes, don't feel you have to do two every time. We will be here for the binge at whatever pace you want!
I'm a huge binger too. I just can't enjoy shows unless I can watch as much as I want when I want lmao have I mentioned how much I'm excited for you to be on this journey??? cause... I"M SO EXCITED!!!!!
Fun reaction. Interesting that you mentioned that you like when shows leave you with suspense of will something come back. Joss loves to have running inside jokes and bring things back from previous episodes. Like "Our Mrs Reynolds" in Firefly. Teachers pet, while being a little silly, does tackle the issue of teachers dating students in its own Demon esque way.
Hi there! :-) I always like to leave a comment whenever I come across a new BUFFY reactor early in, speaking as someone who watched from when the first episode premiered in March '97. As you noted, you've already gotten some (and I'm sure you'll get more) well-meaning people encouraging you to just push through until the show "gets good" after Season 1. And I get it. Season 2 is my favorite season of any TV show, any genre, any period, from any region, ever. BUUUTTTTTTTT... personally, the people who talk about having to "get through" Season 1 are largely judging Season 1 against what would follow. As someone who was there watching at the time, I can tell you it was already well on its way to becoming a cultural phenomenon *during* Season 1. Also, personally, episode 4 is the weakest episode of Season 1. So it's all up from here anyway! 🙂Seriously, I hope you enjoy this journey. I've very much enjoyed your first reactions. 🙂
So glad you're enjoying this. I didn't start watching Buffy till season 2 but the Warner Brother's network that existed at the time was also showing season 1 so I was basically watching both at the same time. You mentioned being a binge watcher. I think there are an awful lot of programs that I watched when broadcast that play better when binged. Long breaks between episodes and season-ending cliff hangers sucked. I'd like to suggest a show that I've never seen reacted to. Grimm is like an adult version of Buffy, written by David Greenwalt, one of the writers who worked on Buffy.
You are the only reactor that I have seen that has picked up on the thought that giving everything we know from the episode the professor had to have been a virgin, and I have seen a lot of reactors react to this episode.
I think you can play it by ear... when it comes to doing episodes in pairs or not. Every season is different. Some episodes are a lot more eventful than others. Therefore, whenever you feel like watching or posting a pair of episodes, you could do that... but then if an episode has tons of issues you would like to talk about, it might make sense to watch and post those episodes on their own.
No sure anyone has mentioned or if I did in a previous vid but I would recommend watching the OG version and not the remastered version. The remastering messes with the lighting and framing to a crazy degree, sometimes changing the feel certain scenes are supposed to have. Definitely considered one of the worst remasterings.
@@NythicalReacts Oh! I didn't know Hulu had the original. That's great to know. I have my original 2004ish DVDs so I haven't had to search for them in a long time, lol. I figured you had a set as well, or borrowed one. A few reactors had done that in the past. If you're curious, there's a great video going into the remaster and why everyone hates it so much, but there's spoilers in it so wait until you're done the series. :)
I’m so glad you’re doing two episodes like most reactors. I love your energy. How old are you? You look so young and you get all the reference on the show?
The apparently homeless guy who warned Buffy not to be out at night was probably being sincere. This is Sunnydale! You'd have to be pretty desperate to be homeless there.
Also, if you look closely, he's not actually a homeless guy. He's the lead undercover cop in the stakeout they were doing to find the killer in the park. That's why he tries to warn Buffy away with that "little lady" speech. (Took me YEARS to catch that one.)
Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia) was a Cheerleader for the San Diego Chargers football team before she was on Buffy.
Freaky Fridays. Many of the episodes are funny and some over the top, but there are actually serious and emotionally sad episodes. Some of the best episodes in later seasons are very different from the typical episodes. So with that scream seeing Angel, I guess you won't be watching the spin-off, or was that the good kind of scream.
@@robertscullin3824 she grabs him, we don't see her kill him, and the lore is she bites the heads off after mating. Pretty sure we are intended to think that she had her way with him, and that it was supposed to have happened.
Love it you picked up on stuff at 14mins that was foreshadowed earlier in the story my nephews spend so muich time on screens they have goldfish memories and wouldn't of caught that in the slightest. So many shows are dumb these days because they don't trust the audience to actually absorb and information and keep interest in the story.
Xander has qualities in common with both Simon and Wash. BTW, the teacher was not a virgin. She mates with the virgins. She killed the teacher so she could take his place.
You have a great voice and a fun personality, I'm looking forward to joining you on your "Buffy" journey! As promised in an earlier "Firefly" comment, i will happily subscribe if you choose to react to this. Some reactors seem like they're watching this by popular demand but you seem to be genuinely into it, so i am really stoked to be able to watch this show again through your eyes - you always make me laugh Thank you SO much for doing this!
Thanks so much!! Oh this is RIGHT up my alley. I can tell already that this show inspired supernatural, which is one of my favorite shows of all time! I am loving it so much 🥰
Since you're the ultimate fan girl, have you considered the possibility that you have doomed yourself by starting this show and you'll be fully sucked in forever?
I think that when Amy's mom (in Amy's body) said she was practicing several hours a day, the only non-truth was that she was “practicing with her mom”. That's only true “from a certain point of view”. She was practicing, it's just... Amy's body isn't in perfect shape for cheerleading. Mom knows how to move, but the body doesn't follow exactly.
Also, Amy may sweat more easily than her mom is used to. The directing really doesn't show it, but the script specifies that the reason Catheramy (Catherine-in-Amy) falls over is because her sweaty palms slipped on the wooden floor..
Came for the Firefly reactions and stayed for the Buffy reactions. First season starts and ends good but has some meh in the middle. Second season starts like season 1 but quickly finds it's footing and becomes great.
S1 as is always mentioned is weak due to its low budget, but it gets us to really know and love the characters, and 'the monster of the week' type format is evident throughout most of it. However, again it does provide an analysis of social comment, this time in Teacher's Pet we see how the experienced and mature adults can take advantage of the innocent and weak younger people. This time in the form of a mature female teacher who is being drooled over by all the teenage boys, and is using them for evil purposes, Xander almost being the unfortunate victim here.
"I'm an adult, I need to stop yelling." The yelling is why I subscribed 😅 You're so enthusiastic!

Babylon 5 was the show.
One moment, you're head of the criminal underworld on a major space station, the next you're the monster of the week in Sunnydale.
The mantis prop was something part costume and part marionette.

The Witch is one of my favorites- loved the twist, and I had watched Robin Riker (the mom) in the Showtime series Brothers.
They tried a lot of different stuff in Season 1. I love the character development.
It’s so fun!! Each episode is a new adventure lol

Freaky Fridays.
Many of the episodes are funny and some over the top, but there are actually serious and emotionally sad episodes. Some of the best episodes in later seasons are very different from the typical episodes.
So with that scream seeing Angel, I guess you won't be watching the spin-off, or was that the good kind of scream.
Episide 3- Freaky Friday without the Friday.
Think the teacher was just killed straight away to get him out the way. Blaine had seen her kill other people before being rescued
BUT THE EGGS AT THE END IN HIS CLOSET! 👀
@ always assume they were just hidden there didn’t suspect it was the teacher at all as it looks like she kills him as soon as she shows up
@@NythicalReactsHe definitely was a virgin, at least before he hooked up with Ms. French. And nothing wrong with it.
@@robertscullin3824 she grabs him, we don't see her kill him, and the lore is she bites the heads off after mating. Pretty sure we are intended to think that she had her way with him, and that it was supposed to have happened.
@@robertscullin3824 Lots of people (including me) still think the teacher was a virgin.
Call me Natalie -> She stayed with her wrong identity even as Giant Mantiss.
Don't worry, I won't pressure you to watch 2 episodes.
Watch 3
This show has a lot of villains I hate and Amy's mom is high on the list
Love it you picked up on stuff at 14mins that was foreshadowed earlier in the story my nephews spend so muich time on screens they have goldfish memories and wouldn't of caught that in the slightest. So many shows are dumb these days because they don't trust the audience to actually absorb and information and keep interest in the story.
Xander has qualities in common with both Simon and Wash. BTW, the teacher was not a virgin. She mates with the virgins. She killed the teacher so she could take his place.
@@mj6866 so why were there eggs in the closet?
SHE DEF MATED WITH HIM
LMFAO
@@NythicalReacts totally!
"Is she Darth Vader?!" 😀
SHE WAS FORCE CHOKIN HIM
Commenting for the algorithm
You have a great voice and a fun personality, I'm looking forward to joining you on your "Buffy" journey! As promised in an earlier "Firefly" comment, i will happily subscribe if you choose to react to this.
Some reactors seem like they're watching this by popular demand but you seem to be genuinely into it, so i am really stoked to be able to watch this show again through your eyes - you always make me laugh
Thank you SO much for doing this!
Thanks so much!! Oh this is RIGHT up my alley. I can tell already that this show inspired supernatural, which is one of my favorite shows of all time! I am loving it so much 🥰
Admonishing yourself to be an adult. 😆
HEAL!!
Heil?
@ And Willow tells Buffy “Heil” in response to the question about Amy's mom being Nazi-like.
I love the pun there, with heal. Flutie shouts "heal" and Buffy "heels."
Bundles of two by two hands of blue.
HANDS OF BLUE!
Since you're the ultimate fan girl, have you considered the possibility that you have doomed yourself by starting this show and you'll be fully sucked in forever?
YUP LMAOOO
I think that when Amy's mom (in Amy's body) said she was practicing several hours a day, the only non-truth was that she was “practicing with her mom”. That's only true “from a certain point of view”. She was practicing, it's just... Amy's body isn't in perfect shape for cheerleading. Mom knows how to move, but the body doesn't follow exactly.
Like I always say, my hips and my legs refusing to obey the commands coming from my brain is why I can't dance.
@@gungho1284 The reason i can't dance is ADHD. Makes me a spaz. But it's also the reason i don't care and dance anyway.😁
@inspectre27 Dancing is expression of personal feelings, never stop doing it!👍
Also, Amy may sweat more easily than her mom is used to. The directing really doesn't show it, but the script specifies that the reason Catheramy (Catherine-in-Amy) falls over is because her sweaty palms slipped on the wooden floor..
hey she liked the teachers pet episode, its only up from here.
Came for the Firefly reactions and stayed for the Buffy reactions. First season starts and ends good but has some meh in the middle. Second season starts like season 1 but quickly finds it's footing and becomes great.
Cannot wait!! I’m going to watch firefly again in my own time soon 😂
@@NythicalReactsshiny!
S1 as is always mentioned is weak due to its low budget, but it gets us to really know and love the characters, and 'the monster of the week' type format is evident throughout most of it. However, again it does provide an analysis of social comment, this time in Teacher's Pet we see how the experienced and mature adults can take advantage of the innocent and weak younger people. This time in the form of a mature female teacher who is being drooled over by all the teenage boys, and is using them for evil purposes, Xander almost being the unfortunate victim here.
I guess it was pretty certain that the original teacher was a virgin. Couldn't get any dates because he spent too much time looking at bugs? 🐜🐜🐜🐛🐛
❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Bug lady episode is probably one of my least favorites. Still watchable, though.
