The nerds arrive, I won't discuss about them yet but your comments are very interesting and if you keep analysing as hard as in this episode I think you will understand the purpouse of those characters in this show
They mention why they don't sell the house in this episode and allude to it in a few others - Sunnydale property prices are unusually low (presumably because of all the unexplained deaths.) It also explains how Giles can afford the Magic Box and how Xander could afford his otherwise unrealistically-nice-for-someone-in-his-position flat. But yes, Willow and Tara should definitely be pitching in. Dawn is a minor, Buffy's still adjusting to being back from the dead and already has two demanding, unpaid jobs, but Willow and Tara should either pitch in with the bills or move back into a dorm so Buffy can at least rent out the spare room.
They had this discussion on Angel and realized that charging people who can afford it is good for everyone. Yay capitalism? Definitely got the impression that the trio of nerds weren't just being played for laughs and that they were doing a ver subtle job of showing how incels can be both pathetic and dangerous at the same time and were ahead of their time with that message.
They charge clients for their services as private detectives and, unofficially, as monster pest control for people in the know. LA's a very large city, so the supernatural community is large enough for the latter cases to be a viable income stream. ...Just about. The agency is frequently broke. Sunnydale is a small town and most people are in the dark about the supernatural. And Angel Investigations don't do what Anya was suggesting (charging the victims of random monster attacks for saving their lives.)
Now THESE villains are who I thought of when you were talking about rape culture. Though it's a bit early to assume the writers weren't aware of the implications of the hypno-sex-bunny comment. I understand why you would assume that though, especially considering what you've said about your analysis of other events in the series. Something to keep in mind when it comes to season 6 - Joss Whedon was more absent compared to previous seasons (working on other projects), and the other main showrunner, Marti Noxon (a woman) was in charge for a lot of it. Also, we never actually saw or heard of the flying monkeys attacking the school play. Andrew is written in to make viewers do exactly what you did - assume he was there at some point and you just don't remember him because he's just that forgettable.
@@MB.543 These once very similar thought process! I’m much harder on these nerds in the next episode they show up in as well. Especially Jonathan like sir she saved your life multiple times
Flooded was interesting episode, in that we now see how Buffy has to cope with being an adult and all that pressure that comes with paying bills etc. A bit of a ropey plot, with the irritating ( at this point ) Trio now introduced, and as if Buffy didn't have enough to cope with she now has these goons messing with her. The standout and very telling scene of course is the conversation with Willow and Giles which takes a very dark turn. Another thing which is strange is that Willow and Tara just living there rent free, surely whatever income they could contribute. A trivial point I know its just strange that everyone is just piling in there.
I think the rap£ culture “joke” is intentional. I could be wrong it I think it’s supposed to show you exactly what you said, these types of guys don’t see an issue with non cons€nsual actions.
Yes I chuckled at them sometimes but I am NO fan of the nerds. Never was. Glad you are not loving them either Brooke. I've seen this season MANY times and I just now realized, how did the Scoobies pay any of the house bills while Buffy was gone over the summer? No way they could get access to any of Joyce's money.
Buffy coping with everything the Scoobies didn't think about when deciding resurecting her needed to happen. Poor Buffy.

Everyone that lived in the house should be working or sell the house
