The expression on your face at 'five by five' was what I was waiting for. One of the best episodes of season 4. And thank you for the little serenade in the middle - it was exactly what started playing in my head too. 😁
This episode is how you bring a character back. And the showcase of acting in the NEXT episode is extremely special (as good as Willow/Vampire Willow) Buffy at its best as a show.
Yup... so great to see Faith back! Cant wait for the next one... I only watched the show like 20 times, so I can only vagely remember what happed next. 😉😂
Kudos to you for the Talking Heads reference... Happy Days - it's Dakara Day SMGellar's talent as an actor is criminally underrated - she performed at a time when "TV actors" were considered second tier but my point will be reinforced as we move along... my impression is that she's a team player, happy to maintain consistency and let others take the plaudits....
I knew she was someone who are going to be big when she was on the syndicated teen soap drama, "Swan's Crossing" (I had a crush on her since we're the same age).
I love that nothing that Faith says to Joyce about Buffy not being around worked the way that Faith wanted it to. She kept trying to upset her & it just never worked. This was one of the best ways to fill in the time before Buffy needed to finally stop Adam without bringing in some random demon(s) of the week that viewers wouldn't have really cared about.
Faith wasn't trying to upset Joyce; she was trying to get Buffy really angry. It's also why she brought up Riley, after seeing Buffy get angry at the college confrontation. So angry that Buffy would be entirely focused on giving Faith a good pummeling. This serves Faith's plan (for Faith did indeed have a plan - why else was the gizmo downstairs?) in two ways. First, it stops Buffy wondering what Faith was doing there in the first place. Second, it weakens her own body so that when the body swap takes place she can quickly finish the fight and stop Buffy-in-Faith saying what happened or escaping etc.
@@godmagnus "See, the hard pill to swallow is that once I'm gone, your days are just plain numbered ... Just because it's over for my Faith, doesn't mean she can't go out with a bang." So he basically tells her that with him gone there is nothing left for her in this world and he asks her to do one big FU to Buffy before she commits suicide.
What’re you talking about? He knew that when she would wake up, she would be hunted by the police and arrested if caught. The magic he gave her was to allow her to switch bodies with anyone, so she could live a new life, without being pursued by the authorities. It was _Faith’s_ choice to switch with Buffy out of spite.
The start where they are making the bed and Faith says 'Little Sis Coming' it will all make sense just be patient. Foreshadowing overload here! Even though I think S4 was not the best of Seasons overall, the stand out episodes and the comedy moments and one liners reached new levels. Faith's awakening dream scene a homage to 'Tim Robbins in Shawshank Redemption. Great writing again here. Soulless Spike still doing the best comedy ever. Great to see The Mayor in the video, a terrific ending to this episode setting up another great episode to follow. Very much a two parter with the even better next episode Who Are You.
I know you're well ahead and have already watched season 5, so this isn't a spoiler....did you notice the dialogue between Buffy and Faith in the first scene? FAITH: "Little sis is coming, I know. So much to do before she gets here."
It's not dwelt on in the general run of the series and kind of lost in the fact that Buffy only fights vamps and demons, but a murderous rogue Slayer is simply terrifying. She can kill any human with a single unrestrained blow. Absent Buffy, Faith could have walked into Giles' apartment and torn everyone limb from limb without getting a scratch.The Slayer vs Slayer fights illustrate that by the sheer destruction they wreak on the environment. Buffy the Cave Slayer was frightening (for a moment) in an otherwise goofily funny episode.
"this is going to kill me a bit" - imagine having to wait a week when it was origiinally broadcast as I had to.

Buffy at its best as a show.
"She could just walk?" - chalk it up to Slayer healing powers, keeping her fit or at least functional, no atrophy, without exercises...
The next episode has some of the best acting in the entire run of the show. I honestly envy you seeing all this for the first time.
When Eliza steps on the scene, all eyes on her 😍. You know she's about to BRING IT. Eliza SLAYS every single time. I just effing love her ♥.
Well yes you could say she brings it on.. bring it on...if know what I mean.
She's not even close to the best in this show.
@@trunksGavShe definitely brings it on. With _Glory._
Ohhhh man one of the S4 episodes we all were anticipating you getting to
Yup... so great to see Faith back! Cant wait for the next one... I only watched the show like 20 times, so I can only vagely remember what happed next. 😉😂
Next episode: ‘Freaky Friday’ done in the slayer style!
"is this going to be council related, or mayor related, or none of the above?"
yes. : P

I cannot wait for your reaction to the next episode, literally one of the best episodes in the history of television ❤❤
Hey Dakara. You have one of the best "post-game shows". I always really enjoy hearing your thoughts about the episode.
A slayer who isn't dead will eventually heal almost any injury.
Things are never boring when Faith is around!

11:29 My hole reason Im here😂 Spike Renagade 4 Life 🤘
It was very fortunate that Dawn was staying with their dad for a few days while Faith came and went.
on the "oh he really loved her", well one doesn't usually send out the people you love as suicide bombers.
When did he do that?

4:45 She's a slayer. Her being atrophied means she can't bench press car not that she can't stand up.

The next episode is completely five by five, i promise. One of my favorites of the season.
This is one reason people watch almost a season a day, the need to see next episode :o
Amazing sarah 's transformation 16:04
20:02 As much as I like the character of Angel, I must say that scenes with Angelus are some of my favorite of the whole Buffyverse.
She's back with a bang!!💣
Back with a bang, but back without Bangel.
Love that Gangar top.
Another fun reaction D.J
"Five by five..." 😏
Cant wait to see your reaction to next one :)
I wanted to say thank you for adding the titles to the episodes because I think (IIRC) you weren't always doing that. So thanks.
4:05-4:26 Such a great reference to such a great film.
I mean I guess faith got her wish and finally got to be in buffy

Buffy the Cave Slayer?
Sounds like she’s the number one enemy to Plato.
@@arc7375 Depends on how he felt about beer.
Faith! ❤❤❤
Heh. @15:56: penny in the air….
Hi Dakara.
1:00 Nah, she doesn't look better than you. 😘
Whatever the object was, when it was broken it caused a mind swap between Faith and Buffy.
No. The object is what allows the body switch. Faith, in Buffy’s body, crushes it to make sure that they can’t switch back.
Come on Dakara, Faith is bad as can be. Not in a Michael Jackson way. Ya know.
You look a little like Christina Ricci
5×5
Still like Faith? 😵💫
Yes.
