That exchange between Buffy and the monk always makes me cry! You did well to keep it together!
"She's not my sister"
"She doesn't know that" :''(
Di that actor was incredible
I love how Dawns dialogue is cleverly written so it could seem suspicious, but on reflection it works as just an angry young sister.
The only one that got me was the "I made you some... tea." I get it was meant to be misdirection but when it doesn't make sense after finding out the truth it is a cheap trick. The rest worked, her saying it creepily like that felt like it was there just to throw us off without making sense at the end of the episode. .
I took that as being the sort of fake sincerity kids do when they want to suck up to their parents because they really want something
I think it's more to show that she also cares about Joyce (except for the tricking us reason). She has been shown as selfish and self-absorbed and not show to care that her mom is sick when she's actually trying to pretend nothing is wrong like kids usually do when things like this happens. I think she honestly was trying to be nice to her mom, maybe a little because she needed comfort after what Buffy said.
@@StalKalle That and also she was trying extra hard to get on Joyce's good side for when Buffy came back, she would've been in for a good tongue lashing when she returned home.
You were not harsh enough. Spoilers not only ruin your reactions but they also ruin it for those of us who want to see someone react just like we did the first time we saw Buffy.
Years late but I still want to agree strongly. A friend might say ”Oh THIS movie, I’m not gonna spoil anything but I did NOT see the plot twist coming” aaaand it is kind of… spoiled. At the very least I will wonder if my viewing experience still is the same.
So glad you included Spike's 5-words-or-less moment. So hilarious!
That's one of my favorite Buffy moments ever...
Iconic 😍
Spike: "And you have stupid hair!" 😂
The scene between Buffy and the dying monk is absolutely beautiful.
One of the many times on this show that the writing and the acting really excelled.
Everybody should have some restraint in posting stuff, let her enjoy the show, only comment on the stuff seen of the current episode.
or before episodes
It's nice to see you try and think from Dawn's perspective. There's so much mindless Dawn hate in this fandom because people think she's too "whiny" but it seems few ever try and think from her 14 year old perspective.
Thanks for another great reaction. I'm having so much fun revisiting this series (for the 500th time) with you.
Agreed. Agreed so much.
And she was written to be like 10 or 12 so she's supposed to be whiny and bratty.
Mind you as a kid I hated her but now not so much
I didnt hate her at firts, I just found her annoying, but now I can't see her the same, everything change.
I just find it funny that Anthony head (Giles) is dress kind of like merlin because after this he plays the character of Uther Pendragon in the BBC TV series Merlin.
Merlin, another series worth reacting to ;)
You weren't rude at all, and you made complete sense. You are always very good at when you want a question answered, you specify that, and you even say "DO NOT ANSWER IF IT WILL SPOIL ME, THOUGH". Sorry some things have been ruined for you. I really enjoy your reactions and always look forward to your uploads!
I liked Giles dressed as a wizard for the Magic Shop opening, it reminds me of the episode Fear Itself when he had the sombrero Halloween costume.
Giles + hats = good
I had forgotten the wizard outfit was this episode. One of my fave laugh-out-loud moments.
For some reason I found the way he looked kinda creepy for some reason. Maybe it was his face...
Keeping the comments spoiler free is more than just kindness, it makes the show better and is good for both reactor and fan alike. Be cool folks, keep this channel special. Thanks to all who are enjoying the ride the right way. Buffy fans rock!
One of my favorite things about this episode, and really the last few episodes leading up to it, was the way something about Dawn had irritated Buffy from the moment she was first created, much more so than was warranted by anything Dawn had actually done. In Superstar, Buffy was the first one to figure out that something was wrong with the world Jonathan had created… really, the only one, since everyone else only knew because Buffy told them, and even then, most of them had a hard time accepting it. That was with the whole world changed; with Dawn, the changes weren’t as extreme and there weren’t any obvious clues that anything had been changed, but still, IMO on some level Buffy knew something didn’t feel right, and that’s why Dawn was such an irritation to her. So I love the way that they have Buffy so irritated by Dawn for the last few episodes, and I love even more how, as soon as Buffy finds out Dawn is an innocent human being, a child who needs her protection, it’s the first time we see Buffy showing Dawn any genuine affection.
You know, it was bothering me how Buffy was initially behaving towards Dawn and it bothered me the writers didn't write her as a loving, protective, and kind sister from the get-go.
I *really* love your analysis on this. It also makes so much more sense with the memories Buffy was given by the Monks (being afraid of becoming a big sister, and then being willing to take on responsibility for Dawn when her parents brought Dawn home from the hospital).
Wow, after all these years I never realised Anya gave us an Easter egg while reeling off stock items... "the hand of Glory packs some serious raw power" right after Glory had just back handed Buffy into a wall
25:30 - "How are you able to run in heels?? That's like an impossibil..." (never mind...)
THIS is how you run in heels: ua-cam.com/video/oqwU6SahymQ/v-deo.htmlm48s
@@victorsixtythree Unlike what some think, she actually ran in heels in Jurassic World to prove it could be done, despite the director not wanting her to.
Don't you just love how the show makes revelations while piling on more questions?
For those who do not understand the colloquialism - "Making money hand over fist" : It's a nautical expression about drawing in ropes quickly - as one hand pulls in the rope (closed fist), the other is reaching over to grab the rope (open hand). The faster you can do this, the better deck hand you are. Substitute the rope with money.........
I know this is an old comment, but I never knew where that phrase came from. I never cared enough to look it up, but any knowledge is good to know.
I call that kind of spoiling "negative spoiling" meaning it takes away empty space. It takes away possibilities of waht things could or could not mean or be. Part of the fun is hypothesizing on what could be. Because let's be honest a lot of shows don't actually go the way you want with characters (you've heard me complain about Xander's progression in season 4) but first watches you can still tell yourself fanfiction during the down times to keep yourself going through rough patches. If people take away your options it makes the show feel smaller than it actually is. IDK that's just the way I've always explained it. I don't even know if it made sense outside of my own head.
Negative spoilers are filling up the empty space with things, taking away the possibilities of what could go in the empty space.
About why people talk about families in hostage, life and death situation: it's done to insight empathy in attacker. The more he knows about you, your name, how old, family members, jobs, ect.. the more he will see you as a human being, like he is, like his loved ones are and that makes it harder to kill. It's not a guarantee, but a good and recommended strategy if you find yourself in such horrific situation.
Women also say they are pregnant or have an STD, to try to prevent being sexually assaulted or killed.
Exactly. It humanizes them. Makes them real rather than just a paper target type "thing" or just an object. It's actually the recommended thing to do. People who have had their children kidnapped that appear on tv wanting their return are told to refer to them by name and say things about who they are. In cases where it isn't going to stop them from killing you, it isn't going to Make them kill you. They'd have done it anyway. So there's no downside.
This is one of my favorite episodes of the entire show. The whole episode you are misled to believe Dawn is evil, only to realize in the last minutes she is completely innocent. And up until then we are made to think Buffy and Dawn are sisters, which seemed so forced, but when we actually find out the truth, their sisterly bond at the end of the episode seems so natural.
Because what we know after the end of the season, it is more than sisterly.
In a way, it is more motherly.
I hate spoilers with a passion and enjoy the surprise and figuring things out myself, so I totally understand how you're feeling. I'm glad you were open about it, so I hope people understand now. I'm excited to see you continue enjoying this show and everything that is to come! :)
You explained it perfectly and you’re not being harsh. This show is magical and means a great deal to a lot of people- to me, much more than any other television show I’ve watched. So people get a bit overexcited to show you the world they love. But you are TOTALLY RIGHT. We want to see you experience that magick for yourself.
The running in heels reaction😂😂😂💚💚
The ending scene of this episode always makes me feel emotional... Dawn claiming that Buffy was adopted when we know that, well, it's the other way round; then Buffy realising that despite knowing the truth, she can't help but care for her moody sister; and then their talk about their mom and we viewers can see that yes, Dawn does love her mother, she's as human as the others :'(
Not even 14 year old... She has memories of a 14 year old, but she's really just existed as a person for a few weeks.
A bit of trivia: Dawn was originally meant to be younger, but they made her 14 when they cast Michelle Trachtenberg. Many fans thinks that at times she acts younger than 14, because the role was originally written for a pre-teen. However, the revelation of her true nature means that this may be because the monks imagined a 14 year old to be like that, and/or wanted Dawn to be childlike so the Slayer would be even more compelled to protect her.
In any case, it's really not fair, IMO, to complain about Dawn being a brat, as her personality is mostly a product of fabricated memories, and she's only had the opportunity to make her own decisions and have actual experiences for a few weeks.
FrakkinToaster Luvva
Right. In these early episodes, Dawn does annoy me, but in the same way an actual little sister would. I find her kinda cute and endearing at times, and then a second later, she does something irrational and 14-year-old-girl-y and I'm like, ughhhhhh. But that's what I love about it and the writing here because it evokes a pretty natural response. Never quite understood the hate.
Dawn was acting all creepy probably because the writers were trying to make her suspicious and a false sense of her being the villain. The threat was just because she was angry at Buffy for hurting her (Dawn is an angsty teenager after all!)
I loved how it took 5 episodes to find out about Dawn. Thou suspicious, we came to accepted her as a character, be annoyed at her mischief, suspicious of her behavior to Joyce and then...Oh she's an innocent in this...awkward guilt is me.
the ultimate answer to how anything works in the buffyverse. its magic -wiggles fingers like im sprinkling fairy dust-
"Can you fly?" the same quote Angel used in the premiere episode "City of" from A:TS...
omggg yesss
you're so right!
Glory's voice is so cool to me. and Dawn and Buffy's relationship is so cute felt really bad when Buffy slammed Dawn
I totally relate to your feelings on spoilers, you're not being harsh. I can't stand having anything even remotely spoiled for me (even seemingly innocuous comments like "you're gonna LOVE the next episode *wink*" drive me crazy, because I'm given expectations and thoughts I wouldn't have had otherwise, if that makes sense). It really bothers me whenever I see people trying to be 'subtle' and 'clever' by posting comments that they don't realise are absolutely spoilers...And it happens not just on your vids but on other people's reaction vids I watch. I think it's a good thing that you've got mods now, even though it sucks that you need them.
It's still kinda dumb to read comments on something you are behind on, let alone twenty years behind on
@@andrewthezeppo No it isn't, because she communicates with some people about what has happened. Plus, people might have questions for her.
31:08 - "So, she's a key...how does she unlock something?" Or maybe she's a keyboard key? (ALT? CTRL? NUM LOCK??) Or a piano key? One of the Florida keys? Half of Key and Peele?
I completely agree with everything you said at the beginning.
The reason people who have been kidnapped talk about family stuff, including saying names, is because in the eyes of the kidnapper they become more human. They try to appeal to their capability of feeling empathy to avoid being hurt or to be released.
I have to say, wow, despite the spoilers, you managed to do a great reaction! Thank you, Shan!!
The end made me teary eyed how merciful she was towards dawn
I'm glad you said something. I think by addressing it you've probably avoided future spoilers, so good for you! You should get to experience everything that comes with watching Buffy for the first time, especially the maddening confusion. This episode was great & awesome reaction as always. On to the next! XO
Thank you :) The "Be back before dawn" line I only just caught in the episode you watched it in. I thought you had a crazy insight when you heard Dawns name the first time until you mentioned that someone basically highlighted the importance of it. I've watched the seasons a few times and try to catch those things, but it's nice to make those connections on your own :) Even though this is being posted much later then your reaction. I'm happy you said something to keep your own enjoyment up. :)
People say they have a family because they hope it will dissuade their attacker from hurting them, the implication being it's easier to hurt someone who no one cares about/depends on. If the attacker isn't a complete psychopath they might think of their own family and let the victim go. It happens.
Yup. People are told to humanize themselves because it decreases the chances of being killed.
And on a completely unrelated note, but somehow this caused me to think of it, I hate it when people say something like,'They lost their only son/daughter.' as if someone who loses a son or daughter and has another, is fine somehow. Crazy talk. On a more related note, how the news will say something like 'she was a mother of four' 'he was a father of two' as if someone who has children is somehow more important when they die than someone who doesn't. This also drives me nuts.
Quick question:
Wouldn't it be best for all of these reactors, if they go into EVERY episode, knowing NOTHING about it?
Absolutely! The confusion, wild theories, surprise, etc. All the things I can’t get from watching the show anymore is what we get watching these videos. The thrill of discovery.
When I just watch the show and a new character shows up, I recall their death scene from three seasons later, I’m not feeling that the thrill of discovering who this person is and what their significance is.
I do enjoy watching others on that journey, almost as much as when I first watched it. How are they going to see this event or that betrayal, etc. That’s what I’m watching for.
I don't even like seeing the titles of shows I'm just starting. Episodes like 5x5 from Angel spoils the fact that Faith is going to be a main part of the episode.
I love this villian!!! And I love your reaction!!
thank u so much for addressing the spoiler issue at last!! People think they are being subtle or clever pointing out little lines. But when u have literally hundreds of people all doing it, guess what? Ain't so subtle any more! And completely ruins the mystery for you. As a first time viewer, when the show wants u to be confused, u should be confused! Not thinking "Oh I know this gets explained because 1238403846 people have made a *subtle* comment about it."
I just wish u had posted this message sooner because I have been saying for weeks that u need to, because I knew what was coming and I knew it was gonna ruin things for u. But im glad u have at least said something now.
And also I don't think it would hurt for u to give a VERY quick reminder at the end of every video saying "Please guys remember, don't post any spoilers, don't even post any subtle hints or references that u think I won't get, because they DO ruin it for me. thanks!"
You didn't listen to my warnings before and look what happened, and trust me there is more crazy shit to come in this show, so I really think giving a little reminder like this at the end of every video would be best for you.
Its a technique to humanize the victims. Hostage negotiater 101
They're spoilers because people pointing references like "little miss muffet" etc. Which at the time of watching you may look past, but now because people are saying them you know they're going to be important because why else would they point out those lines.
"All rhetorical questions, just to clarify." You rock. These are so good.
Not gonna lie.. the first time I was Dawnie, I thought she had just been living with their dad. Until I remembered he couldn’t care less about his family. 😭
Spike’s “Out for a walk...bitch” is one of my favorite lines in the whole series. Sorry people are spoiling things- I think sometimes people neglect to remember part of watching something for the first time is your lack of knowledge and awareness of certain easter eggs and foreshadowing, and that a lot of excitement can be found with realizing them on your own. That being said, in any public forum, there will always be people who are ignorant to or have a lack of concern that they are spoiling things with certain comments. And for those people, I truly am sorry.
It's like even when someone says "I won't spoil soandso movie and its twist" --_that_ is a spoiler!
I totally like watching you confused and shocked about Dawn! I could see how someone would want to "help" but it's more satisfying for me to know you're going through exactly what I went through! (I didn't watch it live, but I binged the DVDs in like 2 weeks)
I remember first discovering the series a few years ago and when Dawn appeared in season 5 I was so confused and thought I'd missed a few episodes where she was explained. I looked online at spoilers to find out who she was instead of just trusting that Joss and the writers would explain her presence. Good on you for sticking it out and avoiding spoilers to find out who she is. Makes the reveal much more enjoyable and surprising.
She's no being creepy, she's just being Dawn. She's the Key.
Best character introduction ever... Producers: "It would be cool if buffy had a sister.. -But how we introduce her after 4 seasons? -magic!"
I love your reaction to glory punching holes in the beam. I'm glad they made glory so ridiculous.
"It sounds dumb... but I WANT to feel crazy." Jesus Christ! This is the thing that I can never seem to explain to people about how easy it is to spoil a show. Even vague reassurances can completely fuck with the first-time viewing experience of what you are witnessing as you first watch a show.
Personally, I think you were far nicer than I would have been regarding spoilers!
It should be pretty simple, really. If there's no way you could possibly know something without future knowledge, then its a spoiler. It doesn't matter if its a big spoiler revealing a massive plot point or stating that a single line has more meaning than it currently appears. If you cannot know it without having seen a future episode, then it shouldn't be brought up.
Someone once did this to me with another show, where they were watching at US pace and I was on UK pace. They simply said that a certain action by a specific character had more meaning than it seems. They were convinced that wasn't a spoiler, but of course it made me suspicious of an act that should have seemed very straight-forward. A few episodes later, I guessed that character's major plot twist because of that simple spoiler and it ruined what should have been a brilliant twist.
Its not nice to be spoiled.
Love your reaction. I felt the same way when I watched the first time. My favorite part ever, Giles in his wizard costume. I crack up every time, even after all these years.
Look i agree with her because everytime we rewatch a series we pick up on things that we didn't pick up the last time we watched it. I can guarantee you that the viewers have a lot of moments where they look down on the reactor because they didn't pick up on something, didn't understand something or they have theories about how the show is going to go and it turns out they are completely wrong so the viewers explain things in the comment section. Just realize that by explaining it you're pretty much giving a lot away, let her discover things on her own.
This Season is a real tear jerker
She's here! Our lady in red! Be aggressive! B-E aggressive! (She was in Bring It On.)
Giles in the wizard's robe and hat - LOL moment every single time. I started cracking up as soon as Buffy entered the Magic Shop, just waiting for ASR to see the reveal.
Poor Dawnie. Those weird scenes when she's acting slightly suspicious is of course to make us doubt her just as Buffy does, but in retrospect just feels tonally inconsistent with what we've seen of Dawn up to now. I think they played those moments too heavy-handedly.
"I have a family" - this sometimes works, though, so it doesn't hurt to try. Obviously it didn't help the dude here though. :(
Spoilers - when the show aired, we had those lovely "Previously on Buffy" intros, so it is sometimes easy to forget that someone who doesn't have those wouldn't know what to pay attention to. Not an excuse, just maybe an explanation. I know I've made some "it'll make sense" comments, and I apologize and will do better.
I agreed with you on the weird scenes with Dawn acting slightly suspicious tonally inconsistent moments from Dawn in this episode being too heavy handed. Works well the first watch only. On rewatches, it's just an eyeroll from me.
I will say, though, it's really rare for this show to have moments that don't play well on rewatches, so it's easier to forgive than for something like...Rings of Power which played up "who is Sauron" from the get-go meaning rewatches 5 years from now are going to be chock full of eyerolls.
Totally agree with your point. I started my Buffy journey from season 5 so this really is my favorite season

Your question went from: Who is Dawn? To: What is Dawn? I'll do you one better! Why is Dawn? :D *bah-dum-tish!*
good one :)))
I'll do you better When is Dawn?
@@davidbaca411 About 6:58 AM
I understood that reference! 😂
Words of wisdom and not harsh at all. I don't know if I accidentally spoiled, I don't believe so, but I'll stay aware the be sure not to. And I adore your confused reactions so please no spoilers people! We can do this
*slow clap* Thank you!!! I’ve been waiting for you to address those stupid spoilery and hinty comments since season 2. It has literally been driving me crazy to the point where I don’t even like to look at the comment section anymore. A lot of people here are under the mistaken impression that a spoiler is only defined by directly pointing out something that happens in a future episode. They think as long as they hint indirectly it’s not a problem. To be blunt, they’re not smart enough to realize that anyone with basic deductive reasoning can put two and two together and decipher their ingenious code. Not only is it unfair to you, it’s unfair to your many viewers such as myself who come here to watch a genuine, authentic reaction. I’m so sorry you’ve been spoiled on the Dawn stuff, but don’t fret there are many more surprises to come.
The whole "I have a family" thing is actually a valid tactic for when somebody is holding you hostage or in general threatening to kill you. Its supposed to make it harder for them to dehumanize you and treat you like an object that's easily disposed of. If you can make some connection there, either because you can find something you have in common with them or something they sympathize with, it's harder for them to kill you. In theory, anyway - pretty sure that never works in the Buffyverse...
Reaction starts at 8.57. The first part is ASR expressing disappointment about spoilers (particularly the fact that she's been 'reassured' by commentators that she's not crazy for not understanding about Dawn's appearance). She's now finished the whole seven seasons.
Finally, the amazing, beautiful, fantastic Glorificus!
I love the Anthony Head foreshadow here! Giles dressed like Merlin, then after Buffy Tony Head got a series regular role in BBC's Merlin!!!
The first 8-9 minutes of this video had me in tears!
I love you, Shan, and it breaks my heart that you had to address this; if I've ever accidentally spoiled something, I apologise so hard, because I understand every one of your feelings, and everything you said made 100% sense.
Let's hope, moving forward, you never have to address this issue again, for any show.
--Steph xxx
Any day with more Buffy reactions is a GOOD day.
Seriously this is first time reacts guys and her reactions are funny like when she freaks out last episode of spikes dream just let her be
I teared up during the end scene with Buffy and Dawn. Such a beautiful scene. And Buffy can finally relate to her, herself having fate forced on her as a Slayer.
I must be extra sensitive today because I also teared up when Joyce fainted in the other episode.
I think the scene i watch again from this episode is Spike's "out for a walk bitch"
When i first saw this episode and saw the end the first thing i thought was "well this is because they are on the WB and trying to be a teen show and the main cast is growing up so let's just throw a kid in there randomly." It's definitely very Jonathan from Superstaresque. maybe that was the point of that episode it was the show practicing with perception distortion.
Fun fact Claire Krammer who plays the strong crazy woman this episode was in Bring it On with Eliza Dushku. It's that cheerleading movie from back in the day.
This show holds up really well
I love your stance on spoilers.
EVERYTHING is a spoiler. Everything is a spoiler because every detail changes your expectations, and deprives you of a true and honest first reaction.
Well, I will argue that if you say something super casually it can sometimes go under the radar as not really a spoiler. But it really has to be something so obscure or small that the viewer wouldn't even think of it. Usually I do something like when I've accidentally let something important slip. I just pretend what I said was nbd and the person usually forgets. But I'm not even sure most people have the finesse to do that. The whole *nudge nudge wink wink* or even explicit "wait for x episode" that are definitely spoilers, because they're 100% coloring the experience.
Joss Whedon was great at making this show, if you are confused your first watch it is probably because you were meant to be confused so that the plot can unravel and you can feel like you are inside the show, often confused along side the characters.
As to why people always talk about their family, etc, it’s because it’s a psychology trick so to speak. The goal is to tell the other person your name, what you do, your family, and all kind of other personal stuff so that your kidnapper sees you as a human being. If they do, they will usually have more qualms about hurting you, unless they are insane or in this case, a demon haha.
Hostages bring up family to humanize themselves to their potential killers. It's supposed to make them more likely to survive the situation.
completely agree with you. watching the show with my daughter. sixth or seventh time for me. first time for her. the hardest thing is to keep spoiler-free, but it's the most rewarding thing to watch her reactions when i've kept all those spoilers to myself. i wouldn't take that from her for anything. and i won't that from you either. i don't think you're being rude or blunt; just true, and an earnest fan, and we welcome you, and love you for it.
Good on you for addressing the spoilers! I’m like you when I watch a show I love; I don’t want to know anything. Sometimes people don’t realize when they give “hints,” they’re actually giving spoilers and are altering your viewing of the show.
Spike’s “out for a walk...bitch” is probably one of my favorite moments of the entire show. It’s hilarious!
I get what you mean by things that are spoilers that may not seem like spoilers. Like when Spike showed up the first time long ago if someone had said that you'd be happy to hear that he will be back more prominently in season 4 (I only say because you are past season 4 now) it takes away a little bit of the thrill you'd have of being surprised, even if it didn't tell you any plot points.
@4:33 "I want the feeling of figuring it out for myself" Very well explained. Very sorry for my part in contributing to the spoiling and upsetting you, obviously not my intention. I didn't think you were harsh.
Look forward to discussing after last video.
15:45 "Why do people do that?" Actually, appealing to violent criminals' sensitivity by playing on the vulnerability of others works so well that it is a common police tactic when interrogating suspects for information.
There was one famous case in the States where a police officer got an arrested suspect to admit where he hid his weapon by saying that if it's in the public, children might get their hands on it and hurt someone. In TV, playing on vulnerability never works against the bad guys--but in reality it works, not always, but more than you'd think.
I'm 100% with you. I have a lifelong hatred for spoilers, and some people are absolutely terrible at NOT spoiling things. Anyone who was messing up the show for you should be ashamed of themselves for taking away the magic.
(Yes, I realize this was like 3 years ago, but that's how much I despise spoilers! My disdain for them defies space and time!)
No more spoilers people Please! let her find out!!!
People are bad with spoilers, seriously. Don't talk about how she should feel about certain episodes. Don't say that she's gonna have her mind blown in a certain episode. Those are spoilers. Just stop.
Amazing reaction! I love watching people react to my favorite shows because it reminds me of the time I was watching it all unfold without knowing.
I think Dawn was just acting creepy to throw us off, until we learned the truth later in the episode, it was just to trick us the audience basically heh
I love this season and your reactions. I love anya, "please go!"
When people are talking about themselves to people who held them hostage apparently it show that there a real person or something like that. Lol, with the carpert -love your reactions.
He look so cute in his wizard costume
I love your reactions. So adorable. They give me a whole new appreciation for this show that I already loved so much.
I so agree with what you're saying, The whole point of reactions is letting the reactor see and catch things for themselves. The viewer who already knows shouldn't ruin it.
It's good to see you expressing what was on your mind and your feelings at the start of this video. Hopefully this will help you going forward as it's important to be able to talk about things that trouble you. I still remember the first time watching this show and hope that you'll get to experience similar reactions too. Stay positive and enjoy the rest of the season.
I love so much this season
You're about to have a great emotional ride in it
How is this an actual spoiler? please shut up with your fake dramatic comment
Ohana Are you really this dense, or just an edgelord?
Outgrowing my whole burst into flames thing
Amazing
Exactly, why would you want to watch someone react to your favourite show if it's not a surprise. The innocence when going in to this show is what is the most charming. You get to watch it again through someone else's eyes. I like your standpoint.
REGARDING SPOILER COMMENTS: As fans of the show, sometimes we might get carried away with excitement at the awesomeness of what is to come and be compelled to say something that we think is innocuous and does not give anything away, but we forget that we had absolutely NO idea of what was going to happen next when we first experienced this masterpiece of storytelling and THAT was a big part of what made it so unbelievably amazing. So please just resist, fellow Buffy lovers. Allow this next generation to experience the life-altering joy of absorbing this series with the same delightful, mind-boggling incredulity with which we were blessed. Otherwise we, as fans, are actually ruining for someone else that which we love the most and depriving them of the very experience that we so passionately relish.
In other words, stop ruining that which you love.
I haven't been commenting on your videos, but even though I've seen the show three times, even I was annoyed by how much people were trying to explain in the comments without really "explaining".
Then I was thinking how something like this could be avoided, and I started thinking about how you're doing all the Agents of Shield episodes before uploading any, and I thought "wow, she's really not going to get spoiled there." Well, unless someone spoils the following seasons, which I've seen people be on the border of doing as well.
To the viewers, I would suggest that you comment as if you were watching these episodes for the first time as well. Share what you thought of the episode without referring to ones she hasn't seen yet, and with very few callbacks to things that have already happened that may not have seemed important to you when you first saw the episode.
If it were me, I would HATE to be spoiled for a show I'm this excited about.
HOLY SHIT
Listen to what Anya said at 24:12 OMG
I have not once see a real villain say"oh u have family i will let u go apologies for the inconvenience." Then let the people go without hurting them.
Joss obviously wanted Buffy to face a stronger and more powerful enemy for once, someone Buffy couldn't beat around. I remember how shocked I was the first time I saw this episode because until this moment Buffy hadn't met a unbeatable for like that before.
The Mayor was literally invincible
@@andressotil4671But Buffy never fought him. She just blew him up.
"what door does she open" lmfao 😂
Saying you have a family and giving their names and descriptions actually can save your life in a hostage situation
Anything that humanizes you makes you harder to kill even to a complete psychopath who doesn't appear to care.
It's an actual recommendation to talk to your captor and try to force a bond with them in order to have the best chance at living.
Yeah, personally I find it painfully obvious when someone quotes something that is an obvious spoiler or hints at something spoilery whether you know a show or not, they just don't seem to be clever enough to realize it themselves. *Glad you have mods now because sadly, although most will respect you on this, some people won't have listened/heard you at all, will forget/be too excited/too ignorant, or even purposefully trying to spoil you...Though most won't do it intentionally.
Even when she was annoying, I was always a Dawn fan. Where most of the characters on this show seemed to be a conglomeration of different traits for storyline purposes, Dawn was just like a "real" (you know what I mean) teenaged little sister. They could have had a Spike/Dawn/Anya/Giles spin-off and I would have been a happy camper! Cheers.
Everyone asks that. The answer is, 1. Buffy doesn’t read the paper, so she doesn’t have one. 2. Is magic the staff will disappear when the spell is done. 3. You don’t even have started to hate the bell 🔔 yet.
