Aw that’s so cool that he looks back at it so fondly. :) I wonder if he attended sci-fi/comic conventions in the early 00s. I could see that playing into remembering the season and episode title.
This episode PERFECTLY captures those freshman-y feelings of melancholy and disconnect... that first week of college can be a rough one ALSO!!! BUFFY'S UMBRELLA!!!!!!!! tears of rage
@@LoveThisRealWoman Should we start a pool on when they will figure out that its a regular College Like UC Santa Barbara, just UC Sunnydale? Well, a regular college right next to a Hellmouth. Lol...
This episode really exemplifies how a lack of confidence can affect your life, and that even the strongest people can struggle with that. It also showcases how important friends/family are. If Buffy hadn't had her friends in her life to support her, she may not have bounced back as quickly, if at all.
This show was NOT shot for widescreen, so you'll see pieces of equipment and matte boxes on the camera. That weird vignette when they revealed the library was because that had a SUPER wide angle lens and you could see the matte box around it.
If that was the intention, they would already be on YT. Nope, folks are going to have to bow the great god of capitalism and pony up the dough for the other half of the story.
The Pedro reaction was super fun. Solid premier episode that does a great job of showing how your confidence can be shaken transitioning from one stage of life and adulthood to another
They seemed to stop referring to it as "community college" after a while. I think they got the hint. I think it was the dorm room. Also, the show stretches Sunnydale's "small town"-ness to breaking point when it comes to Sunnydale's facilities, so I can't really blame them for not computing that Sunnydale has its own UC campus at first.
@@gotgotgone They did start it along with this season of Buffy but the reactions won't be on youtube. And that is bcs there is too much content for the editor to work on to add another series on the workload
Where’s Angel? Reactions I mean. Should be back to back Buffy and Angel on TH-cam, a double feature. Both shows are connected with one another, and there’s crossover episodes that must be watch together to understand the story. Hopefully you can change and bring Angel reactions here. In the meantime I will wait a bit on watching Buffy S4 reactions for awhile.
That is fantastic commentary from The Normies. The most University of California Sunnydale scenes (season 4) were filmed at the University of California, Los Angeles, and in a closed sound stage designed to match the UCLA architecture. Some of the later scenes were filmed at a private business park. I was also mad when they killed off Sunday the first time I watched this episode when it aired in 1999.
Yes, and no choice of roommate..I ended up with a dope that would barf into the trash can all night and had a .7 gpa, that’s point 7……couldn’t wait to get away from that!
@@notyouraveragebear9326 I only saw that there will be a live twitch and episodes available on Patreon. Where did it say that they won't post any episodes on TH-cam? I'm not arguing, just want to know if it's confirmed.
I definitely grew up with Buffy - I was the same age as the characters so I graduated in’99 & tried taking some community college courses that fall matching up with the show.
This is a very transitional season as everyone is finding their own way. It's very representative of how life is after high school and you're trying to hold onto how it was but are being forced to grow up. What will Giles and Xander do now without a job or school (or direction)? How will Willow adjust to her new life? Will Buffy be able to move forward without Angel and without a Watcher? This season is a good representation of the theme of growing and changing and feeling estranged from what was once comfortable. (It also has some of my absolute favorite stand-alone episodes.)
She was originally supposed to have a larger role in this season. Her background would have been that she was a turned slayer. Her being so strong is likely a left-over from that dropped plot.
@@philfitnesspt6139 They are doing it on Patreon only, and Twitch I think, but the videos are only up their temporarily. You won't see the Angel side of the crossovers unless you follow along on Twitch, but the Normies will be watching those episodes, so everything will make sense to them. I wouldn't be surprised if Angel is occasionally mentioned during Buffy reactions, especially when crossovers are happening.
Buffy did not have mostly a high school audience. In fact most of WB's shows had a 18-30 demographic. Buffy had an especially higher demographic. Of course a lot of people in high school watched it globally but it was mostly young adults and adults.
I like Willow's new grown up look in this episode; taller, shorter hair. Loved the (short-lived) reaction to Pedro's role in this episode. Great original lyrics to background music as Buffy is walking down dorm hallway. Loved Buffy's catty remark about a vamp's hips in Buffy's clothing. Best joke has to be at 18:18 "I would laugh so hard if Giles was here in his robe again". The Angel episodes really really do need to be watched side by side for the first couple of seasons of Angel and Buffy S4/S5. Juat sayin'.
Professor Walsh is played by Oscar nominee Lindsay Crouse, the mom of Zosia Mamet ("Girls") and the ex-wife of playwright David Mamet ("American Buffalo", "Glengarry Glen Ross").
Sunnydale is a fictional city or bedroom town likely in Santa Barbara County as it uses the 805 area code. _Pangs_ confirms Sunnydale as on ancestral land of Chumash Indigenous and references the lost Mission at Point Conception. "2 hours north of Los Angeles" and "an hour drive from The (Mojave) Desert". Early seasons depict Sunnydale as on the Pacific coast despite later seasons placing it more inland.
The school is not a community college. It is a fictional branch of The University of California. Like UCLA is University of California Los Angeles, this is University of California Sunnydale. UC Sunnydale.
How are you supposed to listen and take extensive notes? One word: No.2 pencil. And paper. As someone who went to college before laptops were even invented, it was fine. You listened, took notes, sometimes drew pictures. I do still remember my first day with school in session: while walking between classes I overheard one guy say to the another that you could always spot the freshmen because they were the ones looking at the map in the class catalog (pre-computer registration, we had printed class catalogs).

But on Wednesdays, we had educational field trips to learn about career opportunities. One was about the United States Army when we visited Fort Sill. Part of the tour was their obstacle course. If we were curious enough to participate, they let us try each one after a soldier demonstrated the correct way to do each one for the recruits. They went first, then we did! Some of the jocks types even did better than the recruits! But I recall one girl doing her best to walk across the log/pole from one side of the gully to the other. By the way, it was different from the days when the campus ROTC had their days to try and get more students. I had fun repelling off of their roof, but I scared the drill sargent that thought that my jaw was going to break on the edge of the roof! A blond guy from my dormitory asked permission to leap from the roof to the nearby flag pole because it was so close! But he was denied every time! It all prepared me for when I got the metal door stuck shut to my friends' room across the hall from mine. I had kicked it too hard to demonstrate something. We thought it was tougher than it turned out to be! I could exit via the transcom above the door, so I made my exit out their second floor window. People outside thought that I might jump and flip as I did so. But I lowered myself out, backward, and gripped the window sill. My clothes wanted to cling to the red bricks! Then, after dangling a moment or so, I dropped. I wanted to impact on the green grass, not the tiny trees, the guard rail, or the concrete handicap access ramp! 😉

They really should get the DVDs and watch in original 4:3 ratio as was intended by the creator for the whole series. Buffy HD widescreen formatting was terrible and the coloring and editing is totally off. Get the original if you can please 😊
Hey guys i have to say i was really not expecting their to not be any angel reactions on youtube. Does this mean you guys do a short discussion in the uncuts. Or is their no discussion.
Angel reactions make a big impact on Buffy reactions in upcoming seasons, and vise versa. So, if you are not going to post Angel on TH-cam, you should expect to lose some viewers. There are many other good reactors currently available on TH-cam that do both Buffy and Angel (to be honest, I don't remember a single reactor that skipped on Angel reactions). You have 683 THOUSAND subscribers and average viewing of 17 thousand. Surely you can afford a 10 minute Angel reaction once a week.
Though the season long story arc isn't as strong as some of the season long arcs in other seasons, season four is a great season. There's a lot of individual episodes that are top tier.
Season 4 is amazing and the mythology story for season 4 is better than season 3. The cast is better, the episodes are better and the overall writing improved so much.
Maybe it’s because I was so over the Angel romance by season 3, but season 4 felt like such a breath of fresh air! Even if I wasn’t the biggest fan of the new guy in her life either. There was so many good episodes too for this season!
@@FuzzyDlop season 3 is objectively better, better arc and creative stand alone episodes. Season 4 is good about the stand alone episodes and characters development. Ans two masterpieces, less the main arc.
@@alooncnej4696 I love seasons two and three, but I would marry seasons four, five and six. I do wish Pedro had stuck around for another episode or three.
This is UC Sunnydale. it's not Stanford, but it is a top university. I'm so glad that we had one-person bedrooms at my University. We shared kitchens and bathrooms with four other people, but our rooms were our own. The hall warden had a master key but other than that, only you had the key to your room.
Mark 0:00. As previously posted, Millennium 3 AD didn't begin until 2001 AD. 2000 AD was the final year of Millennium 2 AD. You can tell that it is so because it has the "2" in it that the Millennium gets its name from! 😎
I lived off campus sophomore year, and our house was mostly rugby players. We had a Halloween party that was out of control, I was bartending since I was the only one underage and my roommates thought I'd be responsible. I got so wasted and high that I was resting my arm on a ceramic skull with a candle in it - still got the third degree burn scar decades later.
The first episode's college scenes were filmed at UCLA. Great reaction to Pedro Pascal in his 6th acting role ever. Same with Sunday's death. Chris's Sunday school joke was pretty on point. Same with his racket joke. Sunday, script-wise, was initially supposed to be a slayer. I like to think, head canon-wise, she still is. That, combined with Buffy having trouble adjusting would cause the issues she's been having and allow Sunday to be who she was to Buffy opponent-wise. The guy was David Boreanaz. He guest stared for that brief moment as Buffy thinking another guy was Angel. I like Xander in this episode more than any previous episode. I don't think Buffy was portrayed as Stupid in this episode, as Marketa believes. I think she was portrayed as struggling with the transition. It's why Sunday kept scoffing about "Freshman." She and her group only goes after those that do struggle with that.
Did not expect, but was very happy to experience university memories from the Couch Crew. Here we go, Season 4. It's often looked down on but it's got a tough job to do in terms of establishing what a show set in high school does when everyone graduates from high school, and it does it well. There are a bunch of absolutely stellar stand-alone episodes, alongside some pretty poor ones, one of which is coming up shortly. But I'm confident there'll be a lot in this season we can all enjoy, and it sets up Season 5 which is fucking WILD. Most of all though, Tara is going to be introduced very soon. We stan
Fun tidbit about this episode: Allegedly in original drafts of the season/this episode, Sunday was supposed to be a Slayer turned Vampire and have a few episode run...
Eddie is honestly my favourite character in this whole franchise to be introduced then killed. He’s so sweet and I actually wanted him and Buffy to hook up 🤣
I can't believe that the Normies are already on season four! Congrats on making it through Freshman week (shame the same can't be said for poor Eddie).
UC Sunnydale..it’s not a community college..and, the campus in this first episode is actually Stanford, I think..(maybe another big university..) Later when they build some sets, they even imitate those wall tiles by printing them out on paper and sticking them on directly..
It's University of Southern California. Most of the fancy indoor bits are the philosophy building. Edit: after some googling, turns out in general it was filmed at USC, UCLA and UC Northridge. Definitely USC philosophy building in those scenes though.
Pedro Pascal in Buffy is up there with 5 times Acadamy Award nominee Amy Adams being a guest in Smallville Also, I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, but this is still 1999 guys... School year ends in May and college starts in August...
@@Cliohna I actually didn't know that. I watched Buffy and Smallville when they were originally airing and I was like 12. So most of my trivia knowledge comes from podcasts and similar. Have to say though, lost my shit back in the day when James Masters, Spike himself showed up in Smallville
I remember every time I asked where something was, people would respond "Oh that's just next to the Havre building." And I'd be like, "I don't know what that is." And they'd laugh, "I'm sorry, it's right next to the Osmond offices." And I'd just nod and never figure out where I had to go.
Remember you need to watch Angel ep 1 next. Then buffy then Angel then buffy. All the way thru, because there interconnected. If you just watch one show it won’t make sense some episodes. Your be like what’s he doing there. Or where’s such and such gone.
They're already several episodes ahead by the time it gets uploaded to TH-cam, and I believe in last week's video they announced that they're watching in the correct order but Angel will only be uncut on twitch and patreon.
One of the few episodes I remember is this, mostly Pedro's part. Thanks to the cable television at my family's house I learned that the television series had a season premiere and a season finale and this was the first time I enjoyed one, for some reason Chilean television did not advertise those things lol I was watching the episode very excited but uncomfortable with the changes and Pedro's character was so kind to Buffy that it made me relax too, I thought wow this new character is so nice for the new season, but he turned and I was so upset lol A while ago when I saw on youtube "Pedro in Buffy" I checked the video and it was that character, it was so awesome🤯
Don’t know if y’all got this info or not: When Buffy answers the phone in her moms house, it was Angel calling but doesn’t say anything. You see his side of it in Angel episode 1.
Love or hate it, Season 4 gives us one of the best characters of the entire series, plus more screen time for two of the other best ones~ (T***, A***, S****)
oh darn I thought you guys would watch Angel along with the Buffy series too. Angel's 1st Season would be at the same time as Season 4 of Buffy. It's a much darker show and it's better if you watch it simultaneously with Buffy
Pedro has given 2 interviews where he GUSHES over his Buffy experience. Man he remembers the exact episode number and title, it's awesome
Well it was one of his first rolls ever, and now his the mandalorian but it is great that he remembers where he started.
Aw that’s so cool that he looks back at it so fondly. :)
I wonder if he attended sci-fi/comic conventions in the early 00s. I could see that playing into remembering the season and episode title.
Pedro has mentioned how kind Sarah Michelle Gellar was to him on set and behind the scenes.
I think he has said that he had considered giving up trying to have an acting career until he got this role.
He wasn’t the only one to have an episode in Buffy(or Angel) before becoming a big star
I'm sooooo happy no one spoiled for y'all that Pedro was in this!
This episode PERFECTLY captures those freshman-y feelings of melancholy and disconnect... that first week of college can be a rough one

Eddie, holding up a campus map: So, this is the way…
It all comes back around
When I realized that was him on a rewatch and saw his first line. I went screaming through the house to my love. I just had to tell him about it. 😂
Sunday: Did you lose your way?
Pedro: This is the way
Marketa's camouflage joke was excellent.
I know you're all excited about the new millennium, but you're still in 1999 until episode 11 of this season.
And the new Millennium started 01.01.2001, not 2000!

It's University of California at Sunnydale, not community college. (So great to see Pedro Pascal)
Think of their school more like a fictional version of UC Santa Cruz or Berkeley rather than a community college.

During the whole reaction I was looking at Micky's forehead and the way his hair's shadow looked like Harry Potter's scar.
They really should get the DVDs and watch in original 4:3 ratio as was intended by the creator for the whole series. Buffy HD widescreen formatting was terrible and the coloring and editing is totally off. Get the original if you can please 😊
Yeah, the Fox remaster just destroyed so much of the show color-wise, and the 16x9 has so many mistakes and bad framing.
They're not necessarily watching the HD version, they could be watching the European dvds
ips, which also ran in widescreen from season 4 onward.
Hey guys i have to say i was really not expecting their to not be any angel reactions on youtube. Does this mean you guys do a short discussion in the uncuts. Or is their no discussion.
Angel reactions make a big impact on Buffy reactions in upcoming seasons, and vise versa. So, if you are not going to post Angel on TH-cam, you should expect to lose some viewers. There are many other good reactors currently available on TH-cam that do both Buffy and Angel (to be honest, I don't remember a single reactor that skipped on Angel reactions). You have 683 THOUSAND subscribers and average viewing of 17 thousand. Surely you can afford a 10 minute Angel reaction once a week.
Geology 101 was known as Rock for Jocks at OSU when I went there 😂
10:38 ive been waiting for this moment for weeks!
Though the season long story arc isn't as strong as some of the season long arcs in other seasons, season four is a great season. There's a lot of individual episodes that are top tier.
Season 4 is amazing and the mythology story for season 4 is better than season 3. The cast is better, the episodes are better and the overall writing improved so much.
Maybe it’s because I was so over the Angel romance by season 3, but season 4 felt like such a breath of fresh air! Even if I wasn’t the biggest fan of the new guy in her life either. There was so many good episodes too for this season!
‘Something Blue’ is my most rewatched. Spike & Giles are gold together, “Timmy’s down the well…”
@@FuzzyDlop season 3 is objectively better, better arc and creative stand alone episodes. Season 4 is good about the stand alone episodes and characters development. Ans two masterpieces, less the main arc.
@@alooncnej4696 I love seasons two and three, but I would marry seasons four, five and six. I do wish Pedro had stuck around for another episode or three.
This is UC Sunnydale. it's not Stanford, but it is a top university.
I'm so glad that we had one-person bedrooms at my University. We shared kitchens and bathrooms with four other people, but our rooms were our own. The hall warden had a master key but other than that, only you had the key to your room.
Are you guys reacting to Angel?
They are,, but not here. It's Pay-per-view.
Dont forget you guys need to start Angel at the same time as Buffy season 4!
They already covered that at the intro of the previous episode.
@@jp3813 Awesome, I'm a few episodes behind. I saw this one pop up in my feed and just wanted to remind them
Mark 0:00. As previously posted, Millennium 3 AD didn't begin until 2001 AD. 2000 AD was the final year of Millennium 2 AD. You can tell that it is so because it has the "2" in it that the Millennium gets its name from! 😎
33:00 I learned about the duck tape thing from watching Ginny & Georgia.
I lived off campus sophomore year, and our house was mostly rugby players. We had a Halloween party that was out of control, I was bartending since I was the only one underage and my roommates thought I'd be responsible. I got so wasted and high that I was resting my arm on a ceramic skull with a candle in it - still got the third degree burn scar decades later.
We

Angel
The first episode's college scenes were filmed at UCLA.
Great reaction to Pedro Pascal in his 6th acting role ever. Same with Sunday's death.
Chris's Sunday school joke was pretty on point. Same with his racket joke.
Sunday, script-wise, was initially supposed to be a slayer. I like to think, head canon-wise, she still is. That, combined with Buffy having trouble adjusting would cause the issues she's been having and allow Sunday to be who she was to Buffy opponent-wise.
The guy was David Boreanaz. He guest stared for that brief moment as Buffy thinking another guy was Angel.
I like Xander in this episode more than any previous episode.
I don't think Buffy was portrayed as Stupid in this episode, as Marketa believes. I think she was portrayed as struggling with the transition. It's why Sunday kept scoffing about "Freshman." She and her group only goes after those that do struggle with that.
Did not expect, but was very happy to experience university memories from the Couch Crew.
Here we go, Season 4. It's often looked down on but it's got a tough job to do in terms of establishing what a show set in high school does when everyone graduates from high school, and it does it well. There are a bunch of absolutely stellar stand-alone episodes, alongside some pretty poor ones, one of which is coming up shortly. But I'm confident there'll be a lot in this season we can all enjoy, and it sets up Season 5 which is fucking WILD.
Most of all though, Tara is going to be introduced very soon. We stan
Fun tidbit about this episode: Allegedly in original drafts of the season/this episode, Sunday was supposed to be a Slayer turned Vampire and have a few episode run...
Eddie is honestly my favourite character in this whole franchise to be introduced then killed. He’s so sweet and I actually wanted him and Buffy to hook up 🤣
I can't believe that the Normies are already on season four! Congrats on making it through Freshman week (shame the same can't be said for poor Eddie).
UC Sunnydale..it’s not a community college..and, the campus in this first episode is actually Stanford, I think..(maybe another big university..) Later when they build some sets, they even imitate those wall tiles by printing them out on paper and sticking them on directly..
It's University of Southern California. Most of the fancy indoor bits are the philosophy building.
Edit: after some googling, turns out in general it was filmed at USC, UCLA and UC Northridge. Definitely USC philosophy building in those scenes though.
@@nescirian yeah, I knew it wasn’t right when I wrote it..I couldn’t remember..I was only 50/50 on it.
Pedro Pascal in Buffy is up there with 5 times Acadamy Award nominee Amy Adams being a guest in Smallville
Also, I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, but this is still 1999 guys... School year ends in May and college starts in August...
@@Cliohna Yes, but we were hoping no-one would mention this because, you know, spoilers...
@@Cliohna I actually didn't know that. I watched Buffy and Smallville when they were originally airing and I was like 12. So most of my trivia knowledge comes from podcasts and similar.
Have to say though, lost my shit back in the day when James Masters, Spike himself showed up in Smallville
@@cerrobueno Crap, you are right. Just deleted it.
@@fedwyn
Yeah, like Pedro she is also in S4 of Buffy.
I actually stopped watching Smallville before he was in Smallville. ^^
I remember every time I asked where something was, people would respond "Oh that's just next to the Havre building." And I'd be like, "I don't know what that is." And they'd laugh, "I'm sorry, it's right next to the Osmond offices." And I'd just nod and never figure out where I had to go.
You know how you guys were asking how much people know. This season answers alot of that.
Marketa just chillin' waitin' for the guys to quit messin' around and get started...
can't wait to see Chris' reaction to "once more with feeling"!
Remember you need to watch Angel ep 1 next. Then buffy then Angel then buffy. All the way thru, because there interconnected. If you just watch one show it won’t make sense some episodes. Your be like what’s he doing there. Or where’s such and such gone.
They're already several episodes ahead by the time it gets uploaded to TH-cam, and I believe in last week's video they announced that they're watching in the correct order but Angel will only be uncut on twitch and patreon.
I like the new Buffy 2000s song. "Oh-kayyyy...." 😆 Perfect.
One of the few episodes I remember is this, mostly Pedro's part. Thanks to the cable television at my family's house I learned that the television series had a season premiere and a season finale and this was the first time I enjoyed one, for some reason Chilean television did not advertise those things lol I was watching the episode very excited but uncomfortable with the changes and Pedro's character was so kind to Buffy that it made me relax too, I thought wow this new character is so nice for the new season, but he turned and I was so upset lol A while ago when I saw on youtube "Pedro in Buffy" I checked the video and it was that character, it was so awesome🤯
Don’t know if y’all got this info or not: When Buffy answers the phone in her moms house, it was Angel calling but doesn’t say anything. You see his side of it in Angel episode 1.
My favorite season with some of the best episodes which are still unparalleled in terms of complexity, music and visuals....
And Willow's development so great
At the very least the crossovers and the considered favorites episodes of angel should be on TH-cam.
Love or hate it, Season 4 gives us one of the best characters of the entire series, plus more screen time for two of the other best ones~
(T***, A***, S****)
oh darn I thought you guys would watch Angel along with the Buffy series too. Angel's 1st Season would be at the same time as Season 4 of Buffy. It's a much darker show and it's better if you watch it simultaneously with Buffy
This episode aired on October 5, 1999. I was a sophomore in high school when this episode aired.
