In hindsight her speech to the gang, "I can't tell u what it means" is heartbreaking, because it probably means pain and hurt for her
And she tells "you guys gave me the world" which she didnt want😢
"I _literally_ can't tell you because that would make you feel horrible for what you did to me and I don't want that."😭💔
😭😭😭😭
Buffy once again being so selfless she didn’t want them to feel pain about what they did
"Death is your gift."
And now you know the full meaning of that line. It wasn't just her way to save the world, and save her sister. It was her reward. Her chance to finally rest and be at peace. No more pain or violence or fear.
Which makes the start of this season even more painful.
Exactly
Not just that but it's she's also referencing the continuation of the slayer line when one slayer dies another is called ( I know technically the slayers line was supposed to continue on after faiths death before willow activates all potentials but that's only because Buffy was resuscitated/resurrected twice) it is supposed to be seen as a gift although I doubt most of the slayers before felt like it was more than a burden.
@@jaciriley123 spoilerish...
@@ernesthakey3396 hey Buffy has been around for over 20 years if you don't know this already that's not my fault 🤣😂🤣
@jaciriley123 no they means for domi she hasn't gotten that far even on patreon. She only on touched. Be considerate to someone who reacting to the show
watches season 5: I think I know why some people say Buffy is a sad show.
season 6: hold my beer
literally!!!
@@domieright because this is the season Buffy turns 21! All she’s been through and she wasn’t even old enough to drink 😂
@@rachelespiritu4215 "Beer...baaad!"
Its not sad, its depressing
Sarah and James both kill it this season. Especially when Buffy is walking down the stairs and he has all these little micro expressions from his eyes. Also at the end. Spike is a very vocal character. He says things and makes quips etc sometimes without thinking. He was stunned in silence and just listened to her, he didn't say a word or probe her to keep going he just let her speak which it feels like no one the ENTIRE episode did.
SMG is terrific. Her acting is subtle, and yet Buffy’s detachment and sadness is palpable.
Did u notice the scene where buffy walks by the angel statue and the wings perfectly aligned was foreshadowing
SOO beautiful 😭
Did you watch this video? :p
@@godmagnus obviously?
@@invadertifxiii umm they asked bc domi put a note in the video at that very moment... lol
@@ebabilg what do u mean
A little nerding out here: Osiris is not a man: he was one of the Egyptian gods of the dead. Beginning as a god of fertility, he took on the new responsibility after being murdered by his jealous brother, Set. Isis, wife of Osiris, managed to conceive a son either before or after Set dismembered Osiris (depends on which version you read). The son of Osiris and Isis, Horus, avenged his father's death via a series of challenges. Osiris is one of the deities who judges the souls of the dead, weighing the heart of the deceased against the feather of Ma'at, the goddess and/or personification of harmony and justice. It is altogether fitting that Willow calls on this deity to assist in the raising of Buffy.
Did u realize what possessed buffy was saying to willow, about the deer.
The Scoobies feared she was in a hell dimension was because she passed through that portal when she died. They thought her soul could have been snatched up by a demon.
Also Angel was traumatized when _he_ got out of a hell dimention...it made sense to assume that Buffy had gone through a similar thing.Besides...we know for sure Hell exists in this Universe...no one ever confirmed before that Heaven existed too.
But Buffys body did not disappear like Angel did. She was not transported to a dimension. Her blood closed the open portal and then she fell to her death. The chances of her being in a hell dimension were close to zero, Willow just wanted to believe it because, like she said, "we need Buffy".
Yeah and they didn't interrogate that fear any further because the alternative was to let go of her, so they in their grief clung on to that
15:16 "Hey Will, this is me. It doesn't all have to be 'good' and 'fine.' This is the room where you don't have to be brave; and I still love you. If you're worried, you can be worried."
Tara...omg ❤❤❤❤ I love her so much!!!
I’ve always felt 5x22 would be the perfect series finale. Buffy (slayers in general) has spent her entire slayerhood sacrificing herself for the good of others. Making the ultimate sacrifice would fit totally with her character. In 5x22 the moment Buffy realizes that she could take Dawn’s place to close the portal she turns to look at where she is going to jump and you can see the look of relief on her face. Just like she tells Spike here “I was finished”. To finally have peace and then have it taken away from you? Poor Buffy! (Someone should put that on a t-shirt).
Well it was originally meant to be the series finale.
Joss Whedon; "Alysson Hannigan, Queen of pain!"
That's the thinng with Giles. He HAD a life back in England before Buffy. He had a job, and had love in his life, and I'm sure friends and a routine. And he left all that for Buffy and he stayed with her all those years. Giles sacrificed a lot to be Buffy's Watcher, and I don't think he gets any recognition of that.
Watchers are called much like slayer's are they are trained as teenagers to eventually train potential slayer's and maybe THE slayer. It was essentially his destiny as much as hers. All of this is explained in the books and comics which are all cannon, Giles rebelled in his teens with witch craft in response to not wanting to be a watcher but he eventually accepted his role which is why we have the stuffy straight laced version of older giles. So the sacrifices you talk of him making aren't buffy's fault or really even a choice for Giles it was destiny.
@@jaciriley123 It's still a choice and therefore a sacrifice. He could have quit at any time and the world wouldn't have fallen apart. Giles was assigned to be a Watcher at a young age. But not by destiny. He wasn't chosen by some mystical lottery. He inherited this role through his family. (It was also an occupation as he got paid, and it's implied he was paid well). And at one point for like a year, he got replaced as Buffy's Watcher by Leslie in Season 3. And at that point he wasn't even a Watcher anymore until Season 5. He could have skipped town many times and had another Watcher step in for Buffy. But he bonded with her like a father to a daughter. So he gave up his life to make sure she didn't lose hers.
@@geoffreybrowne5191 you need to read the books and the comics it explains it alot better but yes it was destiny being a watcher is a calling and a blood line, buffy didnt choose to be a slayer technically she could have walked away from it infact there are stories of other slayers doing that in the books but to be called was destiny it's fate and to go against it hasn't ended well for slayers who have tried same thing goes for watchers. Your entitled to your opinion but you are using "facts" to back up that opinion that are wrong.
@@jaciriley123 Well, if either one of them walked away, I think the consequences would be drastically different, since Buffy is the guardian of one of the hellmouths. Either way, I think this just comes down to a difference in point of view on what sacrifice means. (And we are way too in the weeds to debate that. Lol)
I love the subtle hint to how old Spike is when he tells Dawn to get some Mercurochrome and bandages. I remember my grandparents talking about that when I was little. (I'm 53 now) From the name, I'm guessing it had mercury in it?
Yes. Just a very small amount. But since it DOES have mercury in it, it is not available in some countries. But it does still exist and still sold in some other places
@@adgato75 Huh. I didn't know it was still available in places. Interesting.
There are a few constants in life. "When Willow cries, I cry" is one of mine.
Your bringing up James Marsters performance when Spike first sees Buffy made me realize how much the show depends on his talent. Think about it: the scene was written without giving Spike any words. The writer knew that just putting the camera on his face and letting him react would be more than enough.
The line from 'Restless' you're thinking of is when Buffy tells The First Slayer "I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back."
Dawn has truly grown up so much. She totally intuited that Buffy was not happy and probably why and had the intelligence to tell her how to fake it for her friends until she was ready to come clean.
Willow has definitely gone to some dark places and isn't the same person she used to be.
I think you calling Buffy, Buffandra is hysterical!
aw ty❤
The portal she jumped into and died as a result of was a PORTAL TO HELL. So while they jumped to conclusions I don't think it was too crazy a conclusion.
Well, to be fair, it was a portal to all dimensions.
Yes. Both heavenly dimensions and hell dimensions and all the stuff in between. Since Glory was intending to 'get off the bus' at her hell dimensions, I think the gang, in some deeper layer of denial, assumed that was Buffy's destination when she jumped through. And they ran with that without question, because in their minds it justified performing a haphazard resurrection on their best friend.
Also, I dont think Buffy's soul went through the portal. I think the portal just killed her, and her soul just went through it's natural process of passing on.
@@geoffreybrowne5191 my point is that a lot of people act like the Scoobys were foolish or moronic to assume Buffy was in hell. I'm saying that thought didn't come from nowhere. The thought was self serving and presumptuous but it had SOME rationale behind it.
@@ShadowDogProduction Yes. And I understand your point of view and I could partly get behind that. I think a combination of things were happening. For an extremely high stakes situation like this, they sure didn't ask a lot of questions. And they were still in mourning which is a big factor. They were just in a huge rush. Giles was gone and the town was still fine. They could have thought about it for more than 4 or 5 weeks. (The Mayor enacted the rituals for his ascension over a 100yr period). Willow didn't even know exactly what was supposed to happen during the ritual, or she just didn't tell the others. Willow has communicated with the Netherrealms in the past, and she couldnt do anything to even get a sense of where Buffy was or wasn't? Zander and Anya aren't really regular practicioners of magic, and Tara had already had some of her memories wiped by Willow for unknown reasons, so she was being manipulated. So they get a pass for being dumb.(jk, not so much dumb. But they really didnt think this through.). And Willow has had this pattern of behavior for a few seasons now, and she can't handle when something traumatizing happens that's out of her control. So just finds a "fix-it spell" and immediately casts it without any other consideration.Also, I think she had some awareness of potential outcomes of her actions, good or bad. And now all she wanted more than anything was to get her best friend back. So all that plus being in a state of mourning, plus all the confusion about the Key and the Portal makes it hard to blame them. But they still made bad choices, which results in the main conflict of season 7. There's the well known saying: don't make any major decisions or moves after a traumatic event or losing someone close. 🤕. (I'm sorry I'm long-winded!!)
'This is hell' it resonates with Hollands speech in Angel...
ooooh!! so true. good point! gonna have to rewatch that scene!!
@@domie loved that scene..with the people outside the elevator behaving like dks at the right time... To be frank only Angels time in 'hell' lets us believe that hell exists in the buffyverse...without it the dimensions can take the role of hell and heaven..a world without shrimp...

later this season tara says there are many "heavenly dimensions". honestly, taking the entire buffyverse as a whole, i think it's all just dimensions. some may be more heavenly or hellish than others. hell, in some cases different people might even have different opinions of the same place. i would not be at all surprised to learn that when the "powers that be" render their judgment at the end of your life, "going to heaven" or "going to hell" really just means going to a place you might like better or worse -- with how much better or worse perhaps coming down to how much you deserve it.
Buffy honing in on Joyce's picture...being where she was, very likely they had been reunited. How gutwrenching to be ripped apart. Again.
I believe this episode (and season) is metanarrative. It's like the authors are saying "You wanted Buffy (the show) back after such a good end? Ok, we'll give it back to you, but characters are going to suffer "
Joss Whedon is a master in giving you exactly what you want...in the worst way possible!;-((( You want Angel&Buffy together?OK,but we'll either turn him into a monster after that or making it temporary and making Buffy forget the whole thing forever. You want Willow&Xander together?OK,but they're cheating on their partners. You want Buffy back from the dead?OK,but she suffers of severe clinical depression. You want Tara in the credits?No,trust me,you don't want that...
Well, that depends on if they let you go, on if they know enough to know that when you bow, you leave the crowd…
It's more, how do you bring Buffy back and make it earned? It has to be hard, and there has to be consequences, otherwise her sacrifice did not mean anything.
@@TheDemonicPenguin There is no sacrifice that"doesn't mean anything". The fact itself that you were/are willing to sacrifice yourself means something on its own!Because even if someone is gonna bring you back _you don't know that_ the moment you sacrifice yourself. And,even if you knew it...you _still_ would have to take a risk because something can always go wrong. No sacrifice is meaningless. EVER.
You want Buffy alive, we will make life the big bad for the season.
Spike is so right in this episode
I love how the score match perfectly with the scene and the lines. Always in this show. This season is the peak of this show.
agreed!!
They probably should've called it a heaven dimension cause they never say thee 'hell'. It's always a hell 'dimension'
They thought she was in a hell dimension because she jumped into the portal of one. What Willow forgot was when Angel went into a hell dimension he went whole body and soul. They buried Buffy's body.
People forget….Buffys BIGGEST phobia was being buried in a coffin and waking up and having to claw her way out 😢
After Life was a great episode where Buffy reveals to Spike that was pulled out of Heaven, (foreshadowing here when Buffy said before 'is this hell) We see Buffy again experiencing her depression, which from the death of Joyce onwards is always there. She says to Giles in S5 Finale The Gift, ' I don't want to live in a world like this if these are the choices, if everything keeps getting stripped away'. Spike also reveals in S5 episode Fool For Love 'every slayer has a death wish, even you'. Buffy is obviously not the same since coming back, she has been torn out of heaven, and does not know how to deal with life now. Of course she was right when she said to Dawn at end of The Gift ' the hardest thing in this world is to live in it' and she was right. Great acting from both SMG and James Marsters in this episode, we can see the Spuffy relationship growing. This episode sets up a great Season arc. I can understand why some fans dislike S6, but I thought it was a great Season, much more adult due to network change from WB to UPN.
If you compare the Spike in the S3 Lover's Walk episode to him now, nearly crying about willow shutting him out and whatever. He was threatening to put glass through her face into her brain in that episode. It's a little bit different.
In this episode we see that despite not having a soul, and still being evil, Spike really does care about Buffy. No ordinary vampire would have spent 147 days - 21 weeks - carrying out his last assignment from Buffy, watching out for Dawn as best he can and truly regretting his failure to protect her well enough in s5e22, thus Buffy having to sacrifice herself.
And Buffy needs Spike now. She needs someone to know the truth. Someone she can be herself with. More importantly - she trusts Spike not to tell the others, not to betray her confidence. She needs him, she trusts him, and she is using him as an anchor to keep her grounded as she plays the part of thankful Buffy in front of everyone else.
This is why I'll always be a spike and Buffy shipper he loved her ( be it in a very toxic unhealthy way) before he had a soul he chose to endure the trials to gain his soul in order to be worthy of her, yes he did despicable things as a soulless vampire the attempted s/a on Buffy is top on the list but so did Angel he s/a many people as a soulless vampire including drucilla when she was human, it is elaborated on alot more in the books he took pleasure out of it and it's not something spike ever partook of until his obsession with Buffy. Spike is the better choice in my opinion.
they think she was in hell because the portal glory was opening was to her hell dimension of origin
Also because we know for sure Hell exists in this Universe. No one had ever confirmed Heaven existed as well...
This is maybe my favorite episode of Buffy.
it’s sooo good!!
0:25 - Did she just call all of us sadists? 😂
Well...aren't we?>;-]
More like Masochists.
@@Nicamon Apparently. 😁😅
I remember this one reactor saying something after the season 5 finale…
“When Joyce died, we were talking about how we shouldn't mess with magic to bring people back. But at this point, I don't care. We have to bring Buffy back.”
Who was that again? Who said those words?
HAHAHA she thinks she understand why this show has a reputation for being sad bc of s5 lmaoooooo
in my defense i never claimed i was SMART!! 😂😂
Let's make no mistake, literally the *_only_* reason Buffy wasn't in hell, was because her friends bringing her back from heaven was the only thing worse.
In the Buffyverse, no good deed goes unpunished. It doesn't matter how good Buffy was or that she died saving the world. The Buffyverse isn't fair and equitable like that. Bad things happen to good people _all the time,_ sometimes seemingly exclusively. But it's actually kind of spectacular her soul wasn't trapped in a hell dimension, seeing as it left her body while the walls of reality were down, and a multitude of hell dimensions surrounded them; it would not have been even a slight stretch of the imagination to think Buffy's soul could have ended up on the wrong side of those walls when they went back up; _especially_ considering that that's exactly what happened to Angel, when it was _his_ blood that had to be used to close the portal linked to Acathla's hell dimension. It's even kind of suspicious that Buffy thought her friends and loved ones were safe without her, when they clearly weren't going to be for much longer. Having her turn out to have been in heaven only serves the plot if you're someone who likes to twist the proverbial knife.
If you like when an actress is playing multiple characters within the same show, I recommend you checking out Orphan Black. Tatiana Maslany's performance is incredible. It also has a great lesbian romance in the series.
I honestly can’t wait to see what you think of the last 4 episodes of this season they are my favourite episodes of the entire show. It’s a roller coaster of highs and lows to the end of the season
27:45 Willow could easily have checked where Buffy was, calling her spirit back a moment to answer some questions is relatively easy compared to a full on ressurection. Willow chose not tpo because deep down she didn't care, all thta mattered was her feeling better.
I don't know if it was about Willow 'feeling better' like with Oz and Something Blue. She still had Tara and Xander, and we know what she goes through without Tara...
I'm guessing she 1) needed a reason to challenge herself magically 2) couldn't handle the responsibility of taking Buffy's place. Going to school, slaying for her, raising her sister, managing her house...it hard to believe those things didn't play a part deep down but she probably rationalized and masked all those things with this belief that she may have been in he'll (although there was a body) and Sunnydale needed a protector and they knew that.
@@samanthas8340 She tries to do exactly the same with the death at the end of this season.
Drag your friend from a best place possible just because you can't live without her beside.... Good job, Willow. Good job.
AND DON'T TELL ME she didn't knew Buffy was in heaven. She also didn't knew she was in hell.
Death was supposed to be her gift
I had to look up the words, but "Knowing that it ends / ... / That when you've bowed / You leave the crowd." The job done, she could retire. Death _was_ her gift -- for as long as it lasted.
Buffy was in Heaven, and it makes perfectly sense, but the series
was masterful in making us believe the opposite and taking us by surprise! Well done to Whedon and Company!
In a particular moment we can see Buffy walking in front of an angel statue and its wings becomes hers, an easter egg that anticipate the last revelation
The very first magic spell Willow did was the spell to restore Angel's soul-- which, instead of helping ended up causing Buffy more pain because of its unfortunate timing. Since then, while her magic has often been just a convenient superpower assisting the Scoobies, it also keeps causing harm whenever she pushes boundaries: she *almost* called up the devil to torment Oz and Veruca; she accidentally forced Buffy and Spike into making out with each other at a time when that was repellent for both of them; when Dawn wanted to bring Joyce back only Tara thought of the moral question, Willow just thought of whether it would work. Now, this. Since you put a clip from the end of the season into your edit here, you can think of an example or three during the coming season as well (I'll avoid specifics for any viewers who are only watching the show alongside your videos).
Willow is well-meaning, but the show has never let us quite forget that she really can't be trusted to use magic responsibly. She does harm as often as she does good.
To me that's always made sense. Glory was a supposed "god". The portal opened up her heaven. That's why Glory wanted to get back there so badly.
Omg not u saying we have dealt with the consequences of buffy coming back😅
Buffy's first feat after returning was to protect her friends from the truth. 😢💔
The funny thing about Alyson Hannigan crying is that it doesn't happen for me with How I Met Your Mother. Obviously the tone of that show is very different, but she has several really sad scenes in that show that don't hit ANYWHERE near the way they do in Buffy. I feel like Alyson Hannigan as Willow crying is a particularly magical/cursed combo.
How does this show still make me cry after watching the series like 11 times?
I think everyone thinks Buffy was in hell because the portal she jumped into was to send Glory back to her Hell, So it would make sense that she ended up in Glory’s world.
I have a lot of issues with S6. I hate some of it (because it's crap) and I love some of it (because it's bloody brilliant.) This is one of the bloody brilliant parts...
If the "Powers That Be" ALLOWED Willow to pull the soul of Buffy(The greatest of all Slayers) out of Heaven...the only reasonable conclusion is that The Slayer has a destiny yet to fulfill.
Buffy is the Chosen One because she CAN take it.
Great reaction.. Lookin forward for your reaction to this season. OH and nice touch the littles "domi's from future or editin domi" glimpses ^^
I read somewhere that willow`s insistence that buffy had to be in hell was based on her religious belief that by choosing to jump instead of allowing dawn to jump, it was technically suicide by a human. my mom once said `suicide is the one sin that can never be forgiven, because you dont have time to ask god for forgiveness after your dead.` I dont think that claim makes sense from either a christian or a jewish point of view though. dawn on the other hand probably would have just reverted into her key energy. so even though willow`s messing with dark magick she was still raised in a home where her father is a rabbi.
at the pearly gates they definitely reject people who save the world every week. i get why they assumed she was in hell.
To quote Attack on Titan: The world is cruel.
To bring her back into it without knowing for certain where she was or what her existence was like there was completely reckless and thoughtless.
Buffy finally found peace for all the good she do and her own friends ruins everything
It the season 5 was WB’s series finale. Season 6 started on the UPN channel. During that period, Roswell and Buffy moved to UPN and WB made room for Smallville and Supernatural…and others.
Couple of tiny things I want to mention (so I shall!). First, some nerdy medical trivia. When Spike tells Dawn to get stuff to patch up Buffy’s hands, he asks for “curachrome and bandaged”. At some point in my numerous watches, I started wondering exactly what “curachrome” was; turns out what he actually says is “Mercurochrome”. Mercurochrome is an antiseptic which dates back to the early 1900’s and was banned by the US in 1998 because it contains (as one might suppose from the name)…mercury; which is generally not great for any animal that likes being, you know. Not poisoned. In my head canon, Spike has known about Mercurochrome for decades, but hasn’t been keeping up with the latest news and is unaware of the ban. :)
Second, something I didn’t notice until fairly recently. @11:57, Dawn’s cleaning Buffy’s face and says “I knew you were under that dirt somewhere”. Given Buffy’s recent experience, I’d think that lands both weirdly and hard. Buffy writers are clever hobbitses.
It struck me on this watching, there's a little unfeeling cruelty in what Buffy laid on Spike in the end, swore him to secrecy, and walked out in the sunlight where he can't follow.
6:30 Btw, "The Big Bad" phrase came from the Buffy show. You can even ask chat GPT about it 😂
Willow loosing control of her magic? How about “Somtething Blue”?
No only losing control, but being careless and not considering consequences...
8:32 As you probably know by now the biggest bad of this season is each main character 😩💜
So the real villain was the friends we made along the way?
lmao...no. Each of them were their own enemy this season. None of them were necessarily the villain, just battling their own demons.
Still the saddest thing I’ve ever heard said on any show or movie
The gut punch when you realize what she was saying. It's so sad.
Only bc I know editing Domi is on S7, but yeah, notice that line from Anya that the demon isn't a price, it's a gift with purchase, and it's just a haha line bc she sees everything through her job in retail? No, actually, the demon wasn't the price. Tara's life was the price.
I thought I was ready for the heavy bits of this reaction, but then you hit us with that sneak preview of 6x20, and... Jesus. You looked like you were SO done with this sh*t, and I can't blame you. Giving you the first half of 6x19, and then putting you through the second half? And then maybe you still had some hope (or just denial) that at the start of 6x20? It's just cruel. I'm glad you've already told us you're okay.
As for the "hell dimension" thing, I don't think they were in any way saying that Buffy had been judged and sent to Hell for not being good enough. The way she died, though, all manner of different things could have happened to her soul.
❤🩹🧡💛💚💙💜
Those consequenes Spike told Xander about... the hitchhicker wasn't the only consequence as Buffy tells Spike (because she doesn't feel like she can tell any of the people who performed the resurection, Dawn's too young, and Giles isn't around) at the end of the episode.
The finale of season 5 would have been the perfect ending for the show, and I would have been happy enough if it did end there. This is not to say that the next two seasons are not good. They have much to offer, and you have many great episodes in store in your near future, but I'm just saying that the show would have been fine without them.
Xander missing the point as usual
I will never understand this extreme fixation everybody seems to have with Giles. When I was watching the show I *never* particularly cared about him,just like I never particularly cared about Joyce. I was much more focused on the"teenage"characters,the adults were 100% optional for me. It will never cease to confuse me how reactors spend dozens of minutes wondering what will happen with Giles and if Giles is gonna stay or not and worrying about the fact he might leave for good. It was *totally 100% indifferent to me* and,actually,I wouldn't have _minded_ getting rid of him once and for all because,as I said,I never really got _fond_ of him. He was there. He was there because he _had_ to,not because _I wanted him there_ if that makes sense. I was much more shocked and disappointed when Angel,Oz&Cordelia got out of the show because,starting the show from S3,I never percieved the main characters as"core 3(or 4 depending if you count Giles)",to me they were the core 6:Angel&Buffy,Willow&Oz and Xander&Cordelia. As I said,I never even counted Giles in,to me he WAS an optional character. Always been,always will be!
04:25 - 05:38 If Willow cries,you cry. It's an unwritten rule of the Buffyverse.😭❤ 05:39 - 06:08 LOL.❣ 12:17 - 13:11 , 19:33 - 20:14 Tell me that's not a souled creature right there!!!🤬💢

35:09 - 36:42 Relatable. As Amy said:"No one cares about how hard you work. They just care about cute,sweet Willow. (...) SHE ALMOST DESTROYED THE WORLD! And yet everybody keeps loving her?!?!"As much as I hate Wormtail...she was not wrong there.😖
To a lot of people Giles is the perfect father figure. Strong and fierce when he needs to be, kind and gentle and loving the rest of the time. He protects and educates and supports and sets boundaries and provides guidance and lets you know he'll always be there for you when you need him while allowing you room and space to grow and find out for yourself who you are. Not everyone was lucky enough to have someone like that in their life. Those who love Giles love him for showing them something they may never have even known they needed.
@@MatWard1966 If that's the logic behind the massive Giles love I must be sad for a lot of reactors because apparently none of them had a decent dad...!;-(((
@@Nicamon Now you get it.
