Hell's Bells was "fun" wasn't it.... 😢
Wow, she is so far ahead.
@@notoriouslybratty Alley Box is even further ahead, she is on the Season 6 finale on Patreon, while still in the middle of S5 on YT.
@@evatesche wow! I wonder if they do that to avoid spoilers.
@@notoriouslybratty That and to get more people to subscribe to their patreon ;-)
“What am I going to do when this show is over?” You’re going to go down the rabbit hole and watch strangers watch it like the rest of us lol
Lol yup I'm following about 5 different people
😅haha definitely
Lol so true
Word!
@@Vladoominator I'm following 5 Buffy reactors, too, and now my favorite music/movie reactor, SincerelyKSO/SCENE'crlyKSO, has just announced she's about to start on Buffy too! 😲
It doesn't matter if the memories are fake. The feelings are real. All the love Buffy feels for Dawn is real. She made the choice to love and protect Dawn regardless of how Dawn came to be.
A lot of our memories are unfortunately likely 'fake' in real life. Memory is weird.
And yeah, no matter what actually happened, it's more symbolic of Buffy's feelings about and pledge to look after Dawn *since she found out she's the Key*
"I can't live without Buffy" yep, what we were all feeling back in the spring of 2003
22:57: "What am I gonna do with my life when this show is over?"
Same thing we do. Watch others react to it.
Buffy has such a ferociously overdeveloped sense of responsibility, and therefore guilt. Remember "I Only Have Eyes For You" (2 x 19)? She blames herself for the emergence of Angelus so intensely that she can't even consider the idea of forgiveness, especially forgiving herself.
Spike really does have a lot of insights into people.
Buffy gave up before Dawn was captured so she could easily convince herself Dawn was dead the second Glory kidnaped her. It's why Willow's pep talk to Buffy started with "Spile was right. Snap out of it." Willow just needed to be inside Buffy's head magically instead of hitting her like Spike doing to attempt to wake her up. Buffy needed the wake up call, though.
I also love the argument and the way the argument was filmed between Ben and Glory.
It may have some psychological consequences, but this is the clear illustration of just how much of a hero Buffy is. It never even occurs to her to cut herself a single second's worth of slack. None of the others could possibly ever hold her to a higher standard than she holds herself. She's constantly dealing with things that would crush everyone else, and the worst of it she keeps to herself to spare them.
"This is the first time someone in the Scooby Gang got really, really hurt." Uhhh, Willow was hospitalized in a coma in season 2? Angel killed Jenny and tortured Giles. Drusilla killed Kendra. In season 3, Cordelia was impaled by rebar and Buffy was put into a coma when Angel drained her.
Also, Buffy DIED in Season 1.
_Angelus_ killed Jenny and tortured Giles.But apart from that yeah...all you said.
She says she gave up on Dawn in that moment and I don't believe that. I think that moment, everything she'd struggled for in her life, everything she lost and sacrificed, this was the moment when it became to much and it wasn't Dawn she was giving up in that moment. It was the Slayer.
It was her "I can't do this anymore " moment. I'm surprised she lasted this many seasons before hitting this point. She has nothing to be ashamed of. She's both dealt with more than any human alive and done it better than any of them probably could. I wouldn't have survived the Master.
The Weight Of The World is a brilliant penultimate episode to the stunning Finale which I believe is the best episode of the whole show. Buffy being in a catatonic state allows Willow to enter her mind and bring her back from traumatic stress for the final battle. The news from Giles is another body blow for Buffy that the only way to stop Glory is for Dawn to die as she is The Key. The writers do a great job here showing the pain and stress of depression which Buffy is now acutely feeling. You can feel the tension now building in every way, get ready for episode 100, which has a incredible intro sequence, and utterly brilliant, but heart breaking ending.
When you're finished with the first run-through of Buffy, you wait a year then watch it again, then you watch it again in a few months after that, but just your favourite episodes, then you watch again with comments turned on (if you have the disk box set like me), then you wait a few years and watch it all again, then after another year you watch other people watching it (vicarious watching is surprisingly almost as good as watching for the first time yourself). Then who knows? I'm thinking of watching Buffy in different languages. Buffy, elle est très forte, non ?
Flashbacks to "If you're not behind me 110%, then get the hell out of my library!"
Yes, it's the same actor playing Buffy's Dad. His name is Dean Butler, and he previously played Almonso Wilder on Little House on the Prairie.
Also the casino owner in Desert Hearts
Buffy: “Death is my gift?”
Willow: “Wait. Death is her What?”
I love that she turned into the audience in that moment with her- ‘what the fuck does that mean?!’
What we all tend to forget is that Buffy isn't just the Slayer, she is also first and foremost a human. Therefore her having a mental breakdown is normal.
It always bothered me that Buffy focuses on the memory of baby Dawn's arrival. I wanted to scream at her "But that didn't actually happen!" But the important part is what Little Buffy says: "I could take care of her." That's the feeling she's fixed on and can't get past, so it doesn't matter how it happened.
Ok so wait, do we suspect there is some kind of connection between Ben and Glory??
They said Glory was put into a newborn baby.
What you do when the show is over? - Rewatch it! Pick your favorite Episodes, make Watchparties with Shannan, Lexi, Domi, Ally, Reily, Thor...
As Vladoominator says, it doesn't matter that the memories are fake, the feelings aren't. When you figure out a person you love since years was just implemented recently would this really make any difference?
Buffy a therapy for her PTSB - you really have no idea 😁 . Can't wait for your reaction to 5x22.
Can even go as "FAN THEORY" and rewatch with a newbie at the show
Then comes one of the finest hours of genre fiction on television, in the history of television. We'll be there when you get back
Yeahhh, I'm so excited for the next episode! Season 5 is fucking awesome.
So you finally got up to the part that spawned all the "Ben is Glory" jokes in the comments over the past few weeks, and it seems you liked it immensely.
One thing about this show: _Buffy_ and _Angel_ never replaced an actor. They've even been able to bring back actors for minor parts, or for a single scene, like Buffy's father here or Amy in Season Four's _Something Blue._ The only exception I can think of is the actress playing a young Buffy, but Buffy is younger here than in Season One's _Killed by Death,_ so it makes sense.
Sometimes, a single actor portrayed more than one character. The only one we've seen, I think, is the demon in the LA hell dimension (S3x01) and Doyle's wife's boyfriend (Angel S1), and there are a couple more we have yet to be introduced to. But we've never had to familiarize ourselves with a new actor playing someone else's role.
untrue. SPOILERS

nikki wood is played by different actors.
@@sirmoonslosthismind Darn. I knew I was forgetting something. You're right, of course. My mistake. Any others?
@@menachemsalomon
dunno.
Another "same actor, two characters" - the guy who played Luke in S1E1/E2 also played The Judge, blue demon in season 2, I believe.
Am I right in thinking the actor playing Daniel, whom Angelus kills in Amends, also jumps out of the car in Beer Bad?
What kills me about the memory is how the monks ever installed from the moment Dawn entered Buffy’s life that it was her role to protect her.
I sort of think the memory installation that the monks did had to be more 'hands off' than that. Like there's no way they could flesh it out with all those details by doing it all deliberately, knowing how many things they'd have to sort out, so I think probably the way the spell worked was to basically leave it up to the universe to conjure or fill in all those details for them, which in a way means that Buffy's responses here were probably how she would have really acted, or at least a reasonable facsimile of that. But it's hard to say, they're obviously not clear about how the spell worked. I just think that no human could be capable of working out all those details and making them match in a way that was consistent and convincing, so the only way for the spell to work would be for them to leave it up to some intelligence outside of themselves, basically like conjuring a new past as if it were like an alternate universe where you change one factor, and then everything else plays out organically from that one change by itself.
@@mb7626 It's not even just the memories. You can't just change memories alone and then have a whole new human in the house. Dawn would have to have a birth certificate and all documents needed to attend public school, grades and reports from previous years in school, etc. Joyce's taxes would be done differently and there would be copies of hundreds if not thousands of documents in government archives that mention Dawn, records of doctor visits, photos of Dawn in yearbooks from LA, etc. All that stuff needs to be created or changed including all copies.
If you don't have all that it wouldn't take long for something to pop up that would get Dawn taken away since it would appear that they just kidnapped her from somewhere, which would screw up the monks plan. If the monks had to be specific and "hands on" with everything, they could never pull all that off. The details have to be "filled in by nature" to make it work.
I know, best season ever, right? The next episode is pretty spectacular, totally worth the wait. I really dig season 6, although the fanbase is pretty split on it, and season 7 has a fantastic final episode.
And more important than anything, you can rewatch different episodes or the whole damn thing whenever the fuck you want and no Buffy fan will give you any shit at all for it, we do the same thing. Lately I'm kind of addicted to watching people watch it, that works, too. You can go away or stay here for as long as you like, it's a really understanding show that way. That likes to make you and everyone else cry a bunch.
I know I can go into this since you're on 6x16: I've never considered or heard any reactor talk about making the viewers the only ones who will remember this season 5 arc! I'm relieved that isn't what happened, but it's a really interesting idea.
Sofie, you don't have to worry.. Once Buffy and Angel both would be over, you'll do exactly the same thing we all did... You'll gonna watch them again, and again, and probably also follow other reactors who will discover it.
And in between rewatches, you still can try some other shows that were heavily influenced by Buffy/Angel (and even have some Buffy/Angel actors) like Tru Calling, Veronica Mars, Dead Like Me (seriously, this last one, I don't think anyone has yet reacted to it, maybe you could be the first)...
Or if you want to discover more ancient shows, I can only suggest you Quantum Leap as I heard they're going to release a (kind of) sequel, it would be nice to discover the original first.
Miles to go. Little Miss Muffet counting down from 7-3-0
See's title: OK
Reaction to what comes next: Oh no.
You have the canon comics! Season 8-12, and angel seasons 8-9. They are good. And more. You can search that up once you finish both shows.
with everything she's been through, it's a miracle that Buffy hasn't turned into a white-haired freak, babbling and having nervous tics! the weight of the world, people!!
Right as Glory becomes compassionate, Ben becomes ruthless.
Sad and disturbing
You may have figured this out by now, but killing ben might work. Killing dawn is necessary if the ritual gets started
now do we suspect ben is working with glory. get ready for all the ben glory comments
I love your predictions!
I can see that you are already long into S6 on patreon, just hoping that some one on patreon told you to watch the "previously on" before the S5 finale.
Posting my BUFFY REWATCH recap of 'The Weight Of The World'. May contain spoilers:
Buffy’s out of commission as she’s gone into a catatonic state. With the loss of their leader and time running out to rescue Dawn, Willow immediately takes the initiative to take command of the Gang, as she often does when Buffy is AWOL. Willow gives out orders to everyone, already having come up with a plan to save Dawn and to stop Glory in one fell swoop, showing she’s competent at leadership. At taking charge and executing a procedure while Buffy is absent. This is one of the reasons why I believe Willow to be an INTP in the Myers-Briggs 16 personality types system. INTP leaders often lead or manage out of necessity more than anything else. They will not take leadership unless they have to. And I can absolutely attest to that as I am an INTP myself. Whether Willow is one also is obviously debatable but I do believe so - not just because of this personality trait but a few other personality traits of hers too - as well as her being exceedingly academically and intuitively intelligent She observes things other characters do not and as such, has attention-to-detail where it counts. What I’ve noticed is in situations like this in the show,… as soon as Willow takes leadership, the Gang follow her lead instinctively just as they do with Buffy. But there is a HUGE difference between the two that many fans on here have pointed out. Buffy has no choice but to do it. Willow does. She chooses to do it. Thus, Willow always chooses to be the leader - but only in the absence of Buffy, And this is a very important detail to remember going into the start of Season 6 when Willow takes lead indefinitely.
Its funny how Willow actually seems pretty good at taking charge and giving orders but as soon as Buffy comes back in season 6, she just steps aside and happily assumes Buffy can solve everything and does not contribute at all. Its like she only sees herself as powerful without Buffy around.
@@faithvictoria9014 Exactly.
Who is she compared to ‘The Slayer’?
My recap for ‘The Gift’ covers this subject.
@@Girl4Music Well I'd be very interested to read that one then when The Gift is posted
Most (in fact almost all) current day series writers should be forced to watch Buffy and see how it's done. You have to EARN your ending, you have to EARN your setups, before you get the payoff you want.
Most just think "Hey I got a great idea for an ending!", but never earn it.
Like the stylish chapeau; think V.I. Lenin used to wear something similar about the time that they became an integral part of that era's newsboys garb. Good style endures. ( btw, S.M.G. rules !)
There were hints, like when Ben called the Queller, but without that the question becomes were they thinking this was really because Glory was bleeding into Ben?
Next episode, you'll need multiple boxes of tissues.
Buffy loves dawn ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️its so powerful
I think the Ben/Glory thing is a Bruce Banner/Hulk relationship: the moment Ben's life were in real danger, Glory would emerge. That can't be the solution. Glory has to confronted.
Oh totally. You would think the writer of that Avengers movie stole some ideas from here. 😉.
But seriously I would love to ask Whedon if the Banner line around putting a gun to his mouth and the other guy spitting out the bullet was an unused line/idea from this season that he couldn't figure how to work in.
Good point.
I feel ya ~ Buffy is my favorite (American) show of all time & it impacted my life immensely. So when it ended, it can feel sad... may I recommend you take up some K-dramas when you finish Buffy? 😉 (Goblin, While You Were Sleeping, Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Crash Landing On You, etc)
This is what my significant other is into right now - loves the nuances of the Korean culture which permeates their cinema. The episode of Crash Landing I saw was impactful. Beautifully shot works.
The past doesn't exist anymore. Only the present. So what is the difference between their real memories and all their fake memories of Dawn. Both the real and fake memories are just data stored in their heads about something that doesn't exist anymore either way. Dawn is real now. If you can't tell the difference between the fake memories and when the real memories started then there should be no difference. There's nothing about their relationship that isn't real except for some of their memories.
Sofie is asking all the right questions and I can't comment on them because .....well finale around the corner I kind of wished they brought back Buffy's dad for the funeral of Joyce. Buffy deserved a scene with him at her most vulnerable moment.
I actually like it this way. It's like the writers confirming that her dad didn't show because he didn't want to (or didn't get the message) and not just because the actor wasn't available.
Wait, how would killing Ben help them against Glory? Are they like, good friends or dating or something?
Obviously there's some kind of connection. Maybe went to primary school together?
I don't remember. I'm very stoned.
Glory may be a hell god but coming between Buffy and her sister, Glory should be the one running now.
Wait? Ben is Glory and... Glory is Ben? When did this happen? C;mon! You'll be telling Dawn has a sister next... kerk
"this is the only way they can do it without destroying buffy."
you assume they're not going to destroy buffy... i find that to be a strange and unjustified assumption.
I agree with you about killing Ben might stop or kill Glory, especially now when they're merging so much. The problem is that Buffy won't kill Ben, she just won't. She knows Ben is a good person and helps others and it isn't his fault he's stuck with Glory, so Buffy really wouldn't be able to kill Ben and stay the same person she is. Our Buffy will find a different way to defeat Glory and save Dawn or she'll die trying.
We lost our battle to save"The Wilds". I am not ok. I don't know if I can handle this episode right now.X"""-((( 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
01:16 - 01:37 GOOD QUESTION.😳
02:45 - 03:20 *Willow-scares-me-SO-MUCH-in-this-scene!* 😨😨😨😨😨(But she's 115% badass,no doubt!😎)
09:04 - 09:09 Yeah!Because Angel is Buffy's True Love and Xander has always been jealous as fuck!!
11:30 - 11:36 Oooohhh,NOW this line makes sense!!😲In Italian Willow said a phrase that was completely normal and so Buffy's comment made no sense!!🤦♂
14:09 - 14:22 See?I can see why that was the only solution.What I *don't get* is why Giles and apparently the audience were so GLAD that Ben had to die.He's a VICTIM, not a VILLAIN! I feel *SORRY* for him!!!X"-(
99 down, see you in episode 100
Did i miss something? Im not seeing an ep 20 reaction.
Waitin impatiently for next ep reaction, post it soon pleeeeease.. jk post it when you have it planned or when you can.
I just noticed a mistake. At the beginning of the episode, when Spike smacked Buffy, his chip activated. According to previous episodes, it shouldn't be able to do that with regards to Buffy.
His chip definitely does activate when he hurts Buffy, like all humans.
maybe you were thinking of season 6 :)
It didn’t work on Buffy past season 6 since Willow's resurrection of Buffy altered her molecular structure and confused the chip.
@@jeremiah3274Thanks for the reminder. I must have had my seasons mixed up at the time.
