"hello fellow human being"
ted: ...
Yassssssss.
He doesn't DESERVE hello
Alley, I enjoyed your Ted Talk.
link please...
Rami abdo it’s a play on the title of the episode...
Aw. Rami.
I see what you did there.
@@LizzyQween Shit! you got me lol. I take things at face value! fuck
"The subtext is rapidly becoming.. text" is such a great line and useful in everyday life as well!
Indeed. Likewise, I also enjoyed Giles’ “Um, well, I certainly didn’t mean to make ‘dog eyes’ at you.”
These quotes are just so quintessentially Giles.
Fun fact, everytime buffy is sad she puts on her blue overalls
Sad and/or vulnerable, I’ve noticed that too.
Oh wow, I didn’t notice that until now oof
Someone pointed out Joyce's hair goes stepford while she's on the drugs, subtle excellence
"Sparks fly" and the cat bells are my fave thing ever. Never stop 😂
I love that she loves Jenny and Giles so much. 😆😆😆
Yes it's great. I also imagine the 'angel wings' sound effect from Supernatural whenever Angel disappears - since he is basically Castiel in these early seasons!
An underrated episode, but as a child of divorced parents, this episode hits particularly close to home. And great analysis of the cinematography. You’re spot on! I have studied filmmaking and have never caught that. Also, John Ritter is amazing. He was playing against type here and really showcased his versatility as an actor. So sad he died so young.
The way they shoot this episode really drives home the terror of it. Although we know that Buffy could easily best almost anyone in a fight, this episode shows that it's rarely that simple. Buffy is trapped, not by her lack of strength, but by the social systems surrounding her (her mother, her friends, and the police). Within that system, she is left with almost no options.
Others are mentioning John Ritter, and I think it's worth bringing up. He was one of the much beloved stars of one of the biggest shows of the 70s, Three's Company.
Seeing him used here in such a monstrous role might be a shock, but I see it as a testament to his skill as an actor. This was such a different face than we usually saw on him.
Fully agreed.
I’ve seen this episode a handful of times, and a few reactions. And his performance still creeps me out. Which is the hallmark of a good actor, especially one who was known for being the “ideal guy”. Which come to think of it, is probably exactly why they cast him for such a role.
I liked him in a very good episode of "News Radio" as Dr. Frank, a psychiatrist that shows up at the radio station to ease the tension of everyone there. Love that show.
He was the voice of Clifford the Big Red Dog on the PBS series, too.
@@1nelsondj You were? I don't remember any Lovecraftian Elder Gods trapped in pentagons on that show!
@@LeshaAnn Everybody is so funny today.
"Are they a 'friends with benefits' type thing?" I think Cordy would balk more that the 'friends' part.
Enemies with benefits
@@plottwisted172 frenemies with benefits? Lol
This episode got very real. Single parent and child relationship, suddenly the parent meets someone and instantly hit it off. The child can always see through the person.
Honestly, I think you and Angel could make a good couple. He has a thing for dark Alleys. 👀
OH MY GOD DJCJCJC
she is not blond
Christian Lund Well, according to ‘Halloween,’ he did like brunettes way back in the day..
@@ChristianLund404 Neither was Buffy season 1. (Saying more would be spoilers.)
@@ChristianLund404hair color doesn’t freaking matter wth…
I'm realy glad you've brought up the cinematography. A lot of people don't really pay much attention to it in these kinds of videos but Buffy has some honestly incredible camera work.
One of my favorite standalone episodes of this season. The late, great John Ritter is absolutely terrifying as Ted.
Yes, I was curious if younger people nowadays recognize John Ritter. I mean, I grew up on Three's Company but he was also the voice of Clifford the Big Red Dog and he had 8 Simple Rules for Dating his Teenage Daughter...
@@victorsixtythree Ritter is of course most famous for playing Jack Tripper in Three's Company and it's very short lived sequel "Three's A Crowd" but he also did Heart's Afire with Markie Post and a young up and coming actor named Billy Bob Thornton. Ritter was the reason "Sling Bade" even got made and Thornton has always credited Ritter with getting his career going.
Poor Sarah Michelle Gellar - she got to work with "creepy" John Ritter while Kaley Cuoco got the "great dad" John Ritter. th-cam.com/video/uxfuu2CuiTQ/w-d-xo.html (And hey, I just realized SMG and Cuoco met up on The Big Bang Theory for one episode.)
@@victorsixtythree Did you ever play that game "Six Degrees of SMG?" :)
Shadowman4710,
Are t.v. links allowed in that version of 6 Degrees? They’re not, in Bacon, but Sarah’s mostly done t.v., unless voice work counts (probably not, when it’s not likely the actors actually worked together on voiceover jobs).
I feel like from the moment we heard
“I’m Kendra, the vampire slayer” a couple episodes ago, the show goes down this amazing path. It goes from being a good show to epic, You will love it more and more.
I love how "sparks fly" every time Jenny shows up!
I swear I'm gonna hear cat bells everytime Angel's onscreen when I rewatch the series for the rest of my life
I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves this episode, I think it gets an unfair rep! The portrayal of abuse and gaslighting, and how isolating it feels, is terrifying. And there are some moments that I think are sooooo revealing about our characters, such as Buffy still feeling guilt and being completely honest about what happened with Ted, even when she could easily lie or try to hide it. A small character moment I really like is that when Xander finds the most likely traumatizing sight of Ted's previous wives, he states what it is and quickly conceals it. Maybe a little chauvinistic in the sense of feeling the need to 'protect' Willow and Cordelia, but I think its striking nonetheless.
Also love Giles and Jenny in this episode, it gives it some much needed lightness, levity and compassion!
So happy to see you fully falling into total Buffy fandom: for a show about vampires and monsters, its one of the most human ones out there.
As someone who *almost* minored in film, so clearly a *total* expert, I also think you're spot on about the camerawork in that Buffy-Joyce scene.
Yeah that has already started for me 😂
When the crew is looking into the library at Giles/Jenny, I love the way Xander and Cordelia are smiling and sharing a cute moment themselves.
one of the best part of the writing are the subtle hints that he's a robot.
7:36 Ted: "Well I'm not wired that way."
10:36 Joyce: "I think every home should have one of you."
coworker said he's a machine. that's what tipped me off
"Friends with benefits".. more like "frenemies with benefits". Lol!
"I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow in the kidney!" - Giles
And yet he is not a city guard.
@@jd190d I mean, he is a watcher though, so...
@@Reavyn1 Maybe he can ask if someone stole Buffy's sweet roll.
@@jd190d I don't know what the context is of this one so it just sounds very wrong
@@razycrandomgirl it's a skyrim thing
One little detail I've always loved about this ep is Xander and Cordy's reaction at the library door seeing Giles and Jenny kissing. Two lovers sharing their own joy at the sight of two other lovers.
This ep is lowkey creepy af. It's actually scarier when you take the "monsters" out of it. It's almost a relief when you find out that Ted is a robot and not just an evil human
It's actually inspiring how your reactions can make people enjoy the heck out of episodes that aren't even necessarily considered the best ones!
uberanto Absolutely. I had a big, stupid grin when she saw Jenny & Giles making out. That was too cute🤣
Viewer: "Hey, Joss, how can vampires talk if they don't breath? And why do they sometimes gasp for air when they get beaten up? Doesn't make much sense, does it?"
.
Joss Whedon: "Do you want me to slap that smartass mouth of yours?"
How can Spike smoke? All respectable questions, but Buffy isn’t about the anatomy of undead respiration.
@@willsofer3679 Oh definitely. I LOVE Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel the Series.
.
It's just funny when you put too much thought into something that may not make sense and think, "wait what?"
Yes there are plenty of issues with vampires such as having no reflection and how does drinking blood keep them 'alive' even though they have no circulation and how do their muscles work? I chalk it all up to them being magical creatures and leave it at that.
Steve maybe it’s like vampires don’t need to eat food but they can, they don’t need to breathe but they can
@@willsofer3679 It's not that Vampires don't have the ability to use their lungs. It's that Vampires cannot breathe oxygen. That's why they need blood. (No joke, that's canon, but I can't comment on that in this video.)
Omg I feel like adding, “I think she’s startin to suspect something...” ‘’Who?” “ Your wife.” Lol
BROOO UGH WHAT AN AMAZING LINE
By the way, when I convinced my housemate to watch the show, she was creeped out by Ted bc reminded her of an ex of her's that she broke up with when he threatened her son in exactly the same way. Buffy writes batterers really, really well.
It’s not just the violence that disturbs me; the gaslighting is hard to watch. This one’s hard for me to not skip on rewatches.
@@beachgirl4583 I always skip it. I just can't.
Dear god. I have been waiting for you to get to *this* episode. Possibly my favorite of this season.
This gives a taste of how truly dark Buffy as a show can get.
And props to John Ritter for one of the best guest starring roles in the series. He did an amazing job.
I agree, this episode is fantastic. The issues it showcases, the politics (men whose views of women got stuck in the 50s), the relationships… And it all somehow works together with the hokey, B-scifi-twist towards the end.
Last time I started rewatching this show, for some reason I stopped after this episode. I've now decided to pick up that dropped torch and follow along. I absolutely love your reactions! Very inspiring.
[minorly spoilery comment]
Wow, you stopped your re-watch after this episode? Right before the GOOD stuff...
@@victorsixtythree
[also minorly spoilery comment]
.

.

You mean, right before Bad Eggs? Seems like a natural place for a rewatch to come toa pause.
Michel De Bruyn Hmmm...you may have a point...
I'm having way too much fun re-watching these with you. It's like sharing a treasure chest of nostalgia with someone who can appreciate the greatness. I re-watch Buffy every year to this day and it never grows old for me.
Love your Xander quote in the background! It's one of my fave things he says. His delivery is so dry.
Yeah, it's around the middle of series 2 that the show really starts to become the show that people remember it as. I'm actually a little envious that you get to watch it for the first time. You've got so much good stuff to come.
7rollface When she was talking about how she gets the hype, I was just thinking how I can’t wait to see how she reacts to the rest of the series. She’s gonna love it.
You've got some of the funnest Buffy reactions on the internet. I caught myself wearing a big stupid grin as soon as I hit [play] this time.
This episode is usually ranked pretty low among fans but you’re making me see it through new eyes haha
This is why I can't wait till she gets to the really outstanding episodes. Her head is going to explode and it's not too far away.
I always loved this episode. It is so creepy.
I never understood why fans don't like this episode. I loved it back in 1998, I still love it now.
@@fabianhebestreit3240 Long break, then an episode that basically does not advance the plot at all. Expectations meet reality and all that.
@@daliden There was no break in my country, so that helped. And the plot got advanced, at least Giles and Jenny's plot, and I think it was important to give Joyce something to do.
"This show actually tackles a moral dilemma, unlike other shows" 😳👀😳 Yes... Yes it does... And there are books about it. 😂 Just saying since you know there is hype already. Heh! 👌🙌🥰
And college courses
This is the episode were the series really starts to jump off. Many of the episodes start to have more depth and more diversity of underlying themes. Eventually several episodes begin experimenting with different aspects of storytelling/filming and they are some of the best TV created.
I feel like Lie to Me is the jumping off point. Even When she was bad has that special Buffy something
confessionsofoncer I agree when she was bad was the start.
Great episode. I always like your small direction and camera tidbits. I never noticed until now that she uses the same Iron Skillet he was using to cook at the beginning to knock him out.
Buffy often does episodes like this, where they are of a different style to the regular eps, almost like mini movies. On my first watch I was always so confused by them but on reflection they are so good!!
I just wanted to say I really appreciate your insights into each episodes and I especially liked how you talked about the camera work during that scene between Buffy and Joyce. I don't usually follow that many react channels, but yours is definitely a standout. Good personality and very enjoyable to watch along with.
First off, love the shirt. Second, great reaction and breakdown. Third, full agree, Angel just oozes charisma.
Oh jeez!!
I Stan you, lady. This is arguably the most underrated episode as far as I’m concerned, I’ve always been baffled by the general hostility it gets from the fandom.
A common theme in episodes that are disliked by the fandom is *robots.* For some people, robots + vampires = too much to swallow. This episode, even more than the demon robot one, really lays the groundwork for future robot plotlines.
Who else remembered when using peripherals like CD drives, DMA was all the go?
Probably just shown how very old I am.
I’m much younger than you, I think, and I still remember fiddling with DMA settings until the cows came home. The sound card revolution in computers was cool, except for that.
William Coueran My first soundcard - 8 bit Creative Soundblaster - cost me £108 around a quarter of a century ago. But Duke Nukem was awesome with sound.
@@Richard_Ashton Original Doom without a sound card is just beeps and boops coming from the motherboard piezo beeper. After getting my first sound card I went around telling everyone about it. Then I got into MP3s and XviD encoded movies (240p) and my life was complete.
You could have gone with floppy drives, punch cards, or phone cradle modems - that would show you were even older.
I'm probably one of the last persons under 40 that used Iomega's Zip disks, the huge floppy disks that were all the rage for photoshop users, back in the early 2000.
This may have been my favorite reaction video that you have done. You didn't do as many quick cutaways. So we got to see the scenes play out, with your reaction.
I love the messages you put in the background and your editing. Angel's bell makes me laugh every time. I say, out loud, "Oh! Angel's here."
I forgot how good this episode was.
Usually I dismiss it because finding out that Ted was a robot was a little ridiculous, but this episode has so much more to it than I remember.
This isnt one of my favourite episodes... but I love seeing you so hyped about it! And seeing it through your eyes gives me a new appreciation for it =)
On subsequent watches you notice so many references to him being a robot before the reveal. Love this episode and hate it for being so creepy.
RIP John Ritter. One of the best ever
Love you talking about film technique and so glad you enjoyed this episode as its often overlooked by fans.
This is the first ever episode of Buffy I watched and I was instantly hooked.
Is it just me or does Buffy look particularly cute this episode?
To be fair, Buffy is pretty... Pretty. Throughout all of season 1, and 2. I forgot how much they played on sex appeal early on the series, until watching reactions.
Quintessential Buffy was always season 5-7, at least as far as how I actually remembered her looking.
I think they shot it in a way to highlight her youth, etc. Like all of the shots between her and Ted make her look tiny, to showcase how little power she really has in the situation. She had so few options, and even the one she chose was fraught with consequence, and she's only like 16.
"Is it just me or does Buffy look particularly cute this episode?"
You could probably say that about 120 of the episodes.
@@UTU49 Haha true
It's not just you. She's downright adorable in those overalls 💛
And Ted is John Ritter who passed away in 2003 from heart failure. He was married to Amy Yasbeck who played Peggy Grant in The Mask
Loved the reaction. This episode really makes you feel a certain type of way because a lot of people have dealt with step parents. Also the way Buffy was dressed in the overalls almost gave her a childish look and vibe. It’s was like she was like a child dealing with an abuser of a “parent” it really hits home
Was wondering when I would see your beautiful Hawaiian shirts that were hiding in your closet. As a lady with a secret collection of Hawaiian shirts myself I'm happy to see them out in the wilds of TH-cam.
I grew up with BTVS in the late 90s and early 2000s. Its great seeing it get new fans today , and how a lot of your reactions to scenes were the same as mine
This episode is so underrated. Most people have it at the bottom of the list for this season but I really enjoy it. The moment when Buffy thinks she's killed a human (who was abusing her) is so dark and I think that's such a great moral storyline to explore
I'm definitely going to re-watch "What Lies Beneath" already took it off the shelf.
YESSS 👏🏻 i think they took it off netflix so i need to buy it asap 😭
@@alleybox I got it in a set called Fright Night Collection along with 3 other movies: "Sleepy Hollow", "Red Eye" and "The Haunting" (the awful CGI remake)
So I'm watching these in order and every time "Sparks fly..." plays I think "She is going to bawl come Passions."
Your hatred of Freud is so good and pure. XD
I also love this episode, but its not one i can watch very often. It kinda.... I dont know gets a bit to disturbing and sad for me, suffering with Buffy after the... accident.
Ahhh, and as a fellow psychologystudent i really dig your freud bashing!
This makes me want her to watch Cheers, just for the later seasons battles between two psychologists.
@@barbarabaker1457 I can easily picture Bebe Neuwirth as a vampire.
@@1nelsondj 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 So true!
@@1nelsondj Hell yes.
"Freud's a little bitch." Succinct, factual. Educational as well as entertaining.
Joss Whedon can take you on a real emotional rollercoaster.
I agree with you, that was the first episode where he kind of... tested the waters.
Prepare to cry, and laugh, and cry... and laugh... a lot. This show is about to get epic.
Yes, What Lies Beneath! Such a great film and i never see anyone talk about it.
im here to talk about it. i love that movie so much. so subtle and beautiful, the misdirects and foreshadowing and clues that u pick up on a rewatch. god, what a great movie. and just the house in the movie... ugh, probably 40% of the reason i love it so much, i want that house so badly, thats the real american dream.. has so much character and atmosphere
alley box. Omg that house is gorgeous. It’s been too long since I’ve watched it, going to have to change that a.s.a.p
Great reaction! I think besides being way too real this real underscored what a good and sensitive person Buffy is. She had every legitimate reason to hate Ted, but when she thinks she's killed an actual human being, even a horrible one, even she was acting in self defence and had no intention of killing him... she's still poleaxed with guilt. That girl has serious heart.
Also regarding Xander and Cordelia I'm not sure I'd call them 'friends' exactly, so maybe 'frenemies with benefits'?
One thing you probably can't pick up on due to the passage of time: John Ritter as Ted was borderline stunt casting. He was (I think) the most famous person to have a part on _Buffy,_ certainly the most famous person up to that point. [Famous before being on _Buffy_ and also not as a result of being on _Buffy_ that is.] He was well known for playing "nice guy" roles such as Jack Tripper on _Three's Company_ and Reverend Matthew Fordwick on _The Waltons._ His appearance as Ted, before he reveals himself as a creep to Buffy, was the exact type of character he always played. Even him cooking referenced _Three's Company_ where Jack is studying to be a chef. Ted turning out to be evil (let alone being an evil robot) was a huge example of Playing Against Type.
This episode makes me so anxious. It's honestly even hard watching reactions...
It’s always fun to watch when BtVS clicks for someone. Glad you’re loving it, Alley.
The episode Should’ve been named “Death of a Sales-Man” lol
When he said “I’m a _salesman_ “ I thought it was a subtle nod to the play. Wasn’t there a nod to it in The Puppet Show or Nightmares?
SPOILER:
__________________
There’s another, in an upcoming season, too, “Restless,” where everyone is dreaming, and part of it is the Death of a Salesman play scene?
Beach Girl definitely, it’s w/ Riley 😉
love the fact that you've actually put a bell on Angel, I've noticed it for a few episodes now. As usual really like the cool edits throughout your reaction videos. Buffy The Vampire Slayer does a good job at tackling a lot of issues. Keep up the great reactions.
This is one of those episodes that drove home really hard for me as a child. I saw it right after my mom started dating after my parents got divorced. And I was introduced to many "Ted"s around that time. Where my mom could only see them as some perfect awesome guy, and they treated me far differently. And when the mom believes them over you, even on the most minor detail, because "you're just a child"...it hurts. A lot.
damn i actually just rewatched this with my mum like about 20 minutes before this was uploaded, ted gave me the creeps the entire episode i usually skip this one in my rewatches but i didn't wanna this time because my mum didn't wanna skip it
I'd love to rewatch Buffy with a family member... mother, brother, niece, nephew, grandfather... anyone.
@@UTU49 well my mum got my into the show a few years back and it kinda stuck with me
Every reaction to Giles and Jenny is giving me life
Buffy was originally a movie and the series is pretty much an extension/continuation of it..
Ps you're still pretty early in the show but it's great that you can already see the greatness of it, As for me when I first watched it in 97/98 as a 10 year old kid I realized the greatest of the show as early as season 1
This is another episode that I enjoyed a lot more the second time around. It deals with so many situations that are super unique to btvs. I love Buffy dealing with the moral implications of killing a person and for a decent portion of the episode, buffy is a murderer. Of course it’s not real, but she doesn’t know that. Good stuff.
Re cinematics etc I think this episode is in the style of early-mid 90s stalkery thrillers such as Cape Fear.
oh interesting!! ive never seen that movie but i just looked it up and it looks like something i would like, i will definitely watch it when i get the chance! kinda reminds me of primal fear, another favorite of mine
@@alleybox both versions of Cape Fear are enjoyable
I love the movie What Lies Beneath.
I thought your analysis at the end with the different kind of camera angles was great. I never thought of that scene in that way, and you gave me a whole new way to think about it. :)
Your edits... are everything it really breathes new life into a show I have watched to death just got to the zoom in and your face when Ted gets weird at the mini golf scene really cracked me up XD
Please continue to pay attention to the camerawork in this show. They really start to go for pure cinema quality
I thought this could be a spoiler but it is so vague I’m not sure it counts hahah, you’re almost cosplaying a character in the future in that Hawaiian shirt lmao
LOL, I noticed that too!
I'm living for the qotd in the background.
My football team literally just went up 2-0. So yeah, now I can watch "Buffy Talk!" ^-^
Nice analysis about the kitchen scene! I like that. It made me re-watch that part. 🥰
I LOVE YOUR BREAK DOWN OF THESE SCEANES ^0^ ♥ your right the camrea work with joyce and buffy was amazing ive seen this show a million times and i never noticed OoO
Jenny is one of my all time faves from Buffy. I'm glad you warmed up to her.
And that was cool commenting on the camera work. I will say as time goes on the craftsmanship on Buffy will just get better and better.
You should follow SMG on IG. She's great.
RIP John Ritter.
The awesome twists and social/relationship issues this show explores are the reason its still relevant.
I was always kind of meh about "Ted" so it's interesting to see a perspective from someone who really appreciates it.
I can accept demons and robots and the like but I draw the line at willow being able to identify tranquilizers by shape with a micro. Technically not a real drug but still
YAHT - Yet Another Hollywood Trope.
Sciency stuff must be indicated with microscopes and test tubes (and maybe a bunsen burner if the budget allows for fire safety crew on set.) Most people wouldn't recognize a mass spectrometer or any other current gen lab equipment.
Life of a nerd is suffering
"Every home should have one of you, its fantastic."
I love that you love this episode! A lot of people don't, but its one that I love coming back to and rewatching
"Is it like a hex or something?" - well, I'm sure hex is involved...
Your reactions are so much fun to watch.. I love all the little edits and effects you do. Keep it up... ❤️👍🏻
I Just wanted to say: I've been binge watching your buffy the vampire slayer reaction series and it's been a blast so far!
Your genuine reactions combined with your amazing editing skills makes for some great entertainment.
I hope that you are doing well and I'm really looking forward to watching more of your videos!
"I understand the hype around this show now." We all told you. Didn't we?
So this was the day you realized that Supernatural, like so many other shows that came after Buffy and as entertaining as they might be, is kind of just a pale reflection of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The sleeper has awakened. Great job as always.
Buffy TV show was going more futher and more it went from great to epic (masterpiece). You will really in love with this show. I'm happy that you mentioned their art. They always tried different technics and they all were amazing job. This show growed so much. Ted actor I forgot his name he died young age, its really sad :( He was a good actor.
Finally Giles and Jenny are togather again
Thank you for this adorable reaction i realy realy like all your reaction alley 😍😍😍😍😍
buffy: actually talks to angel about her life, includes him, discusses something that isn't death or destruction or them endlessly talking about how much they love each other with nothing to base it on, literally just ranting to her boyfriend
angel: are you gonna talk about something else
like i love them as characters and the relationship is so important to the show and i wouldn't trade it away and it definitely has its moments but i really just find them more fun apart
i will concede that this scene is an excellent build-up to 2x13 in the sense that we see them less able to control themselves
i can’t even tell u how much I love ur videos
Another great talk about a classic episode. Believe it or not this show hasn't hit its full stride yet. Things get even better. John Ritter was such an incredible talent. It's a shame that his character turned out to be a monster and for whatever reason he never became a permanent cast member. Love the Hawaiian shirt.
Xander quote on Alley's desk: well, you're not wrong
Buffy in this episode: Will, I'm not wrong.
