"I'm Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, and you are?" isn't just a quipy line or even just refusing to say "No one". All this time Buffy was trying to deny who she is. Trying not to be the Vampire Slayer. Trying not even to be Buffy. So far as to change her name and try to change her identity. That was her embracing it again. Reclaiming her destiny.
"What are you doing?"
"Breaking into your office and going through your private files"
😂 Buffy is so over everybody's shit
"It's all about egg whites. If we can focus, keep discipline, and not have quite so many mysterious deaths, Sunnydale is gonna rule!"
Still my favorite line of the entire series.
I can't believe you cut "Can I be Anne?"
That's such a moving line.
"You mustn't blame yourself."
Whyever not? "If you walk out that door, don't even think about coming back."
Ricky's fate is so sad when you think about it. 100 years of nothing but hard labour, no daylight, separated from the girl he loves until he even forgets her, and then dying on the streets, confused and alone ☹️
Did you notice that when Buffy led the workers' revolt she was holding a hammer and sickle? (OK, technically not a sickle, but it's close enough for the metaphor!)
marxist legend
Joyce's talk with Giles was so adult, compared to how the "kids" deal with things. Joyce laid out her objections and concerns and Giles acknowledged them and accepted the fault. It was never fair to Joyce to be kept out of the loop about her daughter's supernatural job and it really wasn't healthy for Buffy to keep such a secret from her mom. Giles as representative of the Council of the Watchers was unfair to uphold that particular rule especially since all the other rules were broken with Willow, Xander and everyone else who knew. And also the Angel issue.
I'm personally don't have a clear answer for how Giles and the gang could have involved Joyce well (perhaps a good topic for a stream), but I do like how she communicated her concerns and problems to Giles... like you said, everything was laid out in a clear and adult manner (as opposed to holding a grudge or resentment). I don't know, I really enjoy the complexity in Joyce's character, and can empathize with her dilemma as being the (newly informed) Mom of the Slayer. I'm interested to see what happens with her this Season...
@@nickreacts6394 I agree Joyce is written so well. And yes it's complicated. I completely understand it from Joyce's perspective as a mother but I cannot ignore the supernatural element of this show. Giles is not a mentor in a normal sense in my eyes and because Buffy is dealing with things so far beyond her years (life and death, choosing duty over true love), I do not see her as a normal teenager either. Because of that, I do think telling Joyce should have been up to Buffy, especially since Joyce knowing affects her job as a slayer and it would put Joyce in danger too. In Ep 2, we already see a glimpse of Joyce's naive outlook on Buffy being a Slayer...so for me personally, it really wasn't fair for Joyce to place full responsibility on to Giles.
@@nickreacts6394 Sorry for such a long reply, I've watched this show 10 times over and have some thoughts.
My main instinct is to feel bad for Joyce, as someone who had a mother who dealt with some bullshit. However, I can't in good faith say I agree or completely empathize with Joyce for the simple but complicated fact that her daughter is THE CHOSEN ONE. The whole idea of this show is that Buffy has been forced to become an adult before any of her peers, burdened with this responsibility that no one can ever truly know, unless you are a chosen slayer yourself.
Joyce has a right to be mad, but it's misplaced, because it was her words that sent her daughter away after all. Not to mention she has not necessarily on Buffy's side with things like Robot Boyfriend, nor has she been a strong parental support of Buffy in the show so far; that has fallen onto Giles' back alone.
And in general, why blame Giles?: a man burdened with the responsibility of caring for the most powerful teenager in the world and knowing that she very well might die before she reaches full adulthood. Hell, she already has died! Really, Joyce is but a minute detail in all of this from a save-the-world perspective.
Too many layers exist in the Scoobies' lives to consider bringing Joyce into the madness. Buffy told multiple strangers in the first or second episode that she was the slayer, and Giles barely made a peep about it, so I'm sure it was ultimately Buffy's decision to not tell Joyce anyway. Giles simply would not step out of line in this case and tell her, not is it in the world's best interest for him to cut ties from Buffy, "giving Joyce her daughter back" in a sense.
I believe we are meant to see this show through the perspective of Buffy. And through the protagonist's eyes, I know that she doesn't believe Giles holds any fault.
Joyce is holding onto her daughter now that she's already failed as a parent and let her stray too far.
Do you really think that Joyce or any parent would have accepted their daughter to be a vampire slayer?
@@luc-i-guess I completely agree!
I've always resented Joyce for a lot of things. I know she tries, and I understand that Buffy loves her, but she kind of sucks sometimes. She's unfair and a far worse parent than Giles. She refuses to take responsibility for her mistakes and doesn't apologize to Buffy for anything. She's not terrible, as these things go, but as a child, I hated her, and loved Giles so deeply. When he makes mistakes, he apologizes. He *sees* Buffy, and never tries to make her into something else. Giles is an enormous part of why Buffy is so unique in the long line of slayers. Why she isn't alone, why she becomes so strong. Joyce is the kind of parent I wouldn't feel I could trust with all of me, or all of my mistakes, unlike Giles.
Buffy and Xena had the best fighting scenes in that decade
I do like how Buffy ends up with a hammer and sickle as she seizes the means of production.
"Where's your survival instincts, Lily"
I think this episode makes clear that Lily is the human equivalent of a lemming, bless her 😅
Lolol. No, when she "becomes" Anne she becomes a crazy strong caring woman that does great work in the world.
I love how Buffy's influence stays with Lily/Anne. It's such a great message.
Giving Buffy the name Anne was kinda funny in a show about vampires, at least to the people who read vampire novels.
If there were two episodes to flip I think 3x1 and 3x2 are probably the best to do so with, cause you can treat 3x1 like a flashback to what Buffy was doing while she was gone. 😂
Haha yes, it certainly could've have been a much worse swap (like for the Season 2 finale)
"I'm Buffy, the vampire slayer"...I love how Anne reclaims her identity.
When this episode was made, Amazon was just an online bookstore. I ordered from Amazon for the very first time in January 1999, so about six months after this episode first aired. I just checked, and the first time I bought anything from them that *wasn't* a book was a travel mug in 2001.
Damn, I remember those days. It doesn’t feel that long ago, either, which just shows how old I am.
Missing the first one doesn’t make your criticism of her friends in the next episode invalid. They deserved it.
Julia Lee (Lily) like Elizabeth Anne Allen (Amy) and Julie Benz (Darla) originally tried out for the role of Buffy.
Oh no way! I'm glad that even though they weren't cast as the lead, they still got roles in the show
@@nickreacts6394 Bianca Lawson (Kendra) even got that treatment. She originally tried out for Cordelia.
@@knowledge-girl That would have been so interesting!
@@knowledge-girl One reason Bianca Lawson was not chosen for Cordy because the network didn’t want the possibility of a mixed romance.
That guy who opens the door when Buffy's trying to do undercover work, is Jeff Pruitt. He's the show's stunt coordinator and choreographer. His wife, Sophia Crawford, was the stunt double for Sarah Michelle Gellar the first 4 seasons. She's also a martial artist which as you will see, the fight scenes will get pretty awesome. After Season 3, maybe take a look at those behind the scene fight stunts they have uploaded here on YT. Pretty cool stuff.
Just wait, and have a little FAITH!
That "wanna see my impression of Ghandi" line is one of her best. Season 3 is one of the best seasons in the show, I hope you enjoy it. And btw don't worry about that mishap, at least you didn't watch an episode from another season, that'd have been bad. xD
Buffy does have a tendency to go off on her own, shut people out, and try to deal with her issues herself. I think that might be some kind of innate slayer tendency. But I'm so glad she has friends that don't let her do that, and are there for her even when she doesn't think she wants them to be.
Yes! I have mixed feelings about this tendency, and I think balance is really the key here. It's usually a mistake not knowing when you need help and stubbornly trying to handle everything alone. On the other hand, I think that certain people just need some distance/ alone time to clear their mind and resolve to move past a problem or trauma. But I like how you pointed out that certain friends don't let Buffy isolate when she actually needs help (very cool), although the events of next episode (who kidnapped the real Xander and Willow?) is a whole OTHER topic of discussion haha...

"so what if you killed angel, got kicked out of school and your own home, and were wanted by the police? i have a boyfriend! we totally have equally valid complaints!" -- doppelganger willow
@@nickreacts6394 I think it was just the afterpanic anger. Like when a kid gets lost or does something dangerous, and their mom is so worried but when they're okay again, she turns mad at them. 🤣 They are relieved but also venting all the worried feelings and it's coming out as anger.🤣
@@sirmoonslosthismind 100% idc what anyone says, they acted ridiculous towards her.
"It is NOT easy to be as cool as Buffy"
The huge step up in fight choreography etc is so apparent. I love this episode showing Anne working to deal with her trauma and on her way to turning back into the Buffy.
21:48 that LOOK from Buffy. Exuding menace. Savage smile. Utter BAMF 🙌🙌🙌
Buffy as the whole series and i think you’ll come to find is a whole metaphor of how us human beings go through life and our all of our different walks of life
Yeah, this episode does not help with the character motivations of Buffy’s friends in Dead Mans Party, haha. That episode is a big gripe for a lot of the fandom. Like, even though they don’t realize she killed a Souled Angel, they still realize she had to kill Angel, the love of her life, got kicked out of school, and got kicked out of her house (assuming Joyce told them that). Any one of those things would warrant a break to deal with your trauma.
You were so traumatized by season one and two that you had your guard up this whole episode. Good! Keep it up! Lol.
I'm grateful to see somebody who understands Buffy in this scenario. Kids run away because their kids, and she had every reason in the world to do it. Unfortunately trauma makes it hard to call. It means admitting your past exists. Also I can't remember if you've seen the movie yet but there's a scene in here that is a definite call back. When I was in 5th grade I was in advanced math. My teacher said look to your left and look to your right half of you will drop out of high school. It's off in the smart ones. And the state of our schools is exactly why.
This season has one of my favorite episodes from the series. It's called band candy and it is amazing!!
This was the first ep of buffy I ever saw as a young teenager. I caught it on late night tv when my brother was babysitting me and not paying attention lol to this day the demons in this ep freak me out so much.
These were the years when fighting choreography changed, inspired by the developments in Chinese kung fu movies. 'The Matrix' (1999) and 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' (2000) changed action cinema forever. Season 3 of Buffy (starting even before that, in 1998) was part of that change.
The actress who plays Lily in this episode was in the episode "Lie To Me" playing Chanterelle. Buffy tells her the name is nice, a type of mushroom, she thinks.
As a teenager when this first aired, I was furious with Joyce for blaming Giles. As an adult (even without kids), I'm 100% on Joyce's side. If I found out my teenage daughter was having a parental relationship with a grown man I barely knew, who not only pushed her into a job that routinely risked her life but also encouraged her to hide it from me so I couldn't advocate for her safety on her behalf? That's a giant red flag. Like, yeah, Joyce kicked Buffy out, but that was an emergency last-ditch effort to keep her daughter from a potentially dangerous situation, and none of it ever happens if Giles just sits Joyce down in the beginning and explains. I love Giles, I do, but he deserved every last word of that dressing down and then some.
I haven't fully thought through what the "best" solution would be... but, like you now, I certainly understand Joyce's concern and frustration, and I like how she talked to Giles and explained how she felt about everything. I also think the tension/ problems that arise naturally between a teenager and a parent, even when they're both well-intentioned, is one of my favorite dynamics explored in this show. I'm really interested to she how Buffy and Joyce's relationship develops this season..
I didn't think Giles pushed her into a job. She's the chosen one. She'd still be a Vampire Slayer without Giles, just one with poorer fighting skills.
BUFFY WAS THE SLAYER WAY BEFORE GILES STEPPED FOOT INTO HER LIFE, every slayer had a watcher. Watching Buffy in this society really brings out the annoying “woke” viewers 🙄
If a parent had said something like that (if you leave the house, don't even think of coming back) to me, regardless of the situation, I would have left and it would have been hard work on my parents side to get me back to talking to them. So, yes, as an adult I do understand her being angry at Giles. But the blame absolutely lies with her.
@@BalletBullet1 what does OP’s comment have to do with wokeness?
Your comment about the it looking like an Amazon warehouse got me to subscribe. It was priceless.
Thank you!
“I wonder how Lilly managed to survive so far” 😂 seriously!!
And to point out: she was in a Vampire cult. She does, infact, have no survival instinct to talk about
3x2 is honestly my least favorite in the entire series. Pretty sure your comment about the Scoobies was spot on no matter the order you watched it 😅
Glad to hear I'm not alone in my disappointment/ surprise
@@SarahTheBloody 100%. At least in Bad Eggs the characters are consistent. I have no problem with the plot of DMP; the writing is SO out of step with the characters, and while the realism of being angry at Buffy is correct, it was WAY too exaggerated, to the point of abuse towards Buffy imo. But that's just my opinion.
Ooof you're right. I mean as an episode it's ok/good, but the way the Scoobies act still pisses me off to this day. It's one of those episodes that I may ignore on a rewatch if I'm not in a positive enough mood. xD
@@JordiVanderwaal Same! Glad to feel this validation. I'm old enough to have been on the buffy boards back in 2004, and let me tell you... anyone that said ANYTHING was wrong with the show was summarily verbally abused online. Not a big deal anymore, but back then it made me feel terrible. And again, there is no one right opinion, but it's nice to hear I'm not alone. Thank you everyone for the comments, and Thor.. keep up the great reactions bro!!!
When I was younger my grandma got me the first 2 Harry Potter books for Christmas.. I got through half the second one before I realized they went in order and I messed up 😅
"No, Willow can't be the bait, come on, you guys!"
Whoa, whoa! But you were fine with Cordelia being the bait? Where is the Cordy love, my guy 😅
I'm only half way through but I'm suprised no mention was made of the beginning of school one shot when it was happening
Yeah, I honestly was just picking up on the story and completely missed the brilliant filmmaking of that scene (my bad, but my patrons pointed it out!)
@@nickreacts6394 But we saw on your face the intended effect. After the long, hectic, loud school shot follows Buffy. Alone, silent, inactive. And it hits you.
I actually said aloud in response to "how dare you", "how dare he?" Joyce is right. At the end of the day the Watcher/Slayer relationship being this secret influence from a parent is improper, it is a violation, and whatever the eventual rationale, Joyce is right to hold it against the other adult in the equation.
Giles should have pointed out how can you call yourself her mother when you had completely failed to notice anything going on in her life.
@@ronaldfasshauer4390 “you’re a bad mother because your daughter, with the aid of her friends, a teacher who is actually part of a shady international organization, was able to trick you into not thinking she was doing something that shouldn’t by rights even exist or be possible” is a helluva take. Other than a casual mention of blood on her clothes (which is a one off mention, 100% Told and 0% Shown to the audience), what are the obvious signs Joyce is meant to have picked up on? And more importantly, signs of what? Because of the major warning areas parents are coded to look for - drug use, sexual abuse, etc - there were none.
Whoa I totally got first again, I am AMAZING at catching these lately! Hi Thor! I'm reporting in for Season 3!✌🏾😁☝🏾
Great to have you along! :)
Oh my favorite episode of the entire show !!! So excited 🤩🥳
It's a great one! Hope you like the reaction :)
This is one of my favorite episodes in the entire series. Certainly top-10. [EDIT} - The opening school scene, all of the excitement and energy, juxtaposed with Buffy in a depressing environment is Joss showing off. A lot of the school scene is a long one-take.
A tea cosy is a fabric cover for a tea pot to keep it warm while it brews.
Poor Aaron, doesn't get to escape because he got knocked out. I always feel so bad for him.
A very gorgeus episode!
1- Joyce wasn't right in her angry against Giles but her angry was understandable. She knows that Buffy ran away because of the words he addressed to her, but the idea is so painful that it leads her to preferably blame the other adult figure in her daughter's life. In short, Giles finds himself in the role of her father who had a more important role in his daughter's life than her mother, he who is also Buffy's Observer and in Joyce's eyes easily the one who pushed her to be her Slayer. True on the one hand, but we do know that Buffy then accepted her role as her heroine, prior to the previous season's finale.
2- Cordelia and Xander are absolutely hilarious! His immaturity and her self-centeredness make them appear constantly and close to breaking up, and instead they manage to find a way to make their relationship work, to settle their quarrels and even to be Vampire-Slayers too! XD
3- The beauty of the episode is obviously due to the magnificent story arc that leads to Buffy's homecoming. The protagonist experiences a real personal Hell, before she ends up there too, and it is when she touches the bottom that her extraordinary rebirth of her begins again, symbolized by that fantastic joke with which she also breaks the 4th wall.
Buffy understands the importance of being herself, in her case a heroine, and not being able to escape her pain but knowing how to deal with it. Even more splendid is how Buffy inspires others with her goodness and courage. If Lily really takes her example, she will certainly be able to rebuild her life after the mistakes made with vampires and demons.
Season 3 steps up the quality of the fight scenes and overall budget and look of the show has improved as well
This season is more consistent and rocks, the show at its best :)!
Sounds awesome, especially considering how much I enjoyed Season 2!
Wow. That would have been a jolt to begin on episode 2. To be fair to you: I get mad at the scoobies even having seen episode 1 first. lol I'm glad you weren't upset with Joyce. We have to remember the context of how little she knew. And you said it perfectly of finding out about such a relationship between your child and another adult.
Did you notice that the "first day back at school" was a single shot, some three minutes long?
About Joyce and Giles: Joyce is understandably and rightfully furious at Giles. A relationship with a child behind the parent's back is unacceptable, and in any other circumstance I'd call it grooming. No, Giles didn't take advantage of Buffy, but other Watchers, other Slayers, may well have. But Joyce is lashing out because she does feel guilty: Buffy left town because of what her mother said, and Joyce knows that. She does blame herself, and is covering for it by blaming Giles.
SMG is gorgeous in this episode
1:30 Your brother Loki was evidently up to tricking you.😂🎉 Of course yoo're human, we all make miss steaks .
I love this episode
Buffy was a hard show to watch sometimes. It hit so close to home for me. I also left home under 18 cause my parents couldn’t cope with me coming out as gay. I had to leave friends, school and a boyfriend who had just passed from cancer. This episode specifically was very rough to watch.
Ironically I now work at a bookstore with tones of Buffy books. 😂
I watched Mad Men! I got your reference!
did you know Allegedly Sarah said when she played Daphine in the scooby-doo movie she had to be trained how not to fight because of her work on Buffy had he so use to those types of moves
This episode has the best fight scene choreography
At least like...Episode 1 is a little stand alone. So it can kinda be seen as a flash back in the right mindset.
Buffy's stunt double was also the Pink Ranger
TBH, if you were to skip one premire, Anne is the one to skip, it's pretty "standalone" in nature. But, yeah, I can't wait to see your 3x02 reaction. That must be hilarious.
I love the cenobites/silent Hill monsters
If you ever need proof that Whedon was a seer, the Ghandi line is what you want.
He foresaw, 13 years before it ever happen, the Nuclear Ghandi meme (which was based on an urban legend about the video game Civilization) and included it in his show.. Damn he's good !
Even if you had watched episode one first, I don't know many fans who enjoy it. So that will be interesting. Personally, I like this one because Buffy's family and friends aren't around to judge her. The one thing Xander says in this episode that he should have remembered when episode two came along was, "She'll come back when she's ready." Indicating he knows or suspects she was going through something. I always hope its underlying guilt from lying to her having a bad outcome, but that's a different comment/argument/debate. But as episode two shows, the group didn't care why Buffy left and made it all about their issues once she was away. It shows to me, (running away wasn't necessarily a good idea even with Joyce mouthing off to not come back), Buffy being away from the group for a while definitely wasn't a bad thing.
The crew's quality shot up drastically with this episode.
Such a bummer you accidentally watched 302 before this. This is probably my favorite season opener, alongside 701. The comic bits are as strong as the character/dramatic bits - the big tracking shot at the school is a personal fave, especially Larry’s “not have too many mysterious deaths” speech.
I think i love you nick. Just watching you and cant Take my eyes off you. ❤
I’m a straight dude, but damn, you look really good. 😂
Ah, you edited out your "joke" what a shame! Anyway, even if this is not my favourite season opener, I do love how the scoobies worked together to pick up the slack. Oz's epic fail with the stake is my favourite part cause that was literally me trying to be like Buffy as a kid 😂- She just makes it look so easy! haha. PS: I prefer the opening title from S2 the most. I cannot remember the other seasons so that will be interesting to revisit with you.
Yeah, I would definitely be more like Oz trying to be as cool as Buffy haha, it's a funny moment that's both relatable and true to his character. And that joke is for the patrons ;) As far as the openings, it'll be interesting to see how they evolve throughout the course of the show, and then compare them all eventually to Mark 1
@@nickreacts6394 Oh, well I count us Patrons lucky then :) - And yes, please do a ranking of the seasons and the title credits if you decide to complete the show. That would be awesome.
Yes, she is the girl you are thinking of.
Ok thanks! Good to know my memory hasn't completely failed me haha
well now im convinced that jeff bezos's face is glued on. thaaaaaaanksbut that was hilarious and seems plausible.
I’m in the minority but S3 might be my least favorite season. Still curious to see what you think of it though. That fight scene is awesome indeed.
Appreciated the Mad Men reference - not enough people watch that show! Haha
This episode is the best 😍
Always wondered…if time moves so quickly down there, did Buffy come back to Sunnydale an adult?
No only a few hours passed in the underworld before buffy freed everyone so in the real world it would have probably only been a few minutes they were gone 🙂
This episode predates Amazon my guy lol
No, you didn't Thor :) You'll love it! ps Thor you worked as a waiter, what was that like for you? Wow, Theirs so much stuff I don't know about you or where you came from. You're just an incredible person.
when you said that your exes live in your head im like hey ouch. true but ssshhhhh
The Gandhi line probably was a reference to the satirical clip Gandhi II: th-cam.com/video/4ega5Rcct2s/w-d-xo.html
Buffy's "coming out" as a Slayer to her mother has often been compared to coming out of a gay person. If we keep going with that metaphor, does her anger at Giles still work, I often wondered?
Her anger with Giles doesn't even work without it because Buffy:s "secret relationship" with Giles is not the reason Joyce threw Buffy out of her home. But to continue with the metaphor this is basically her blaming Giles for making Buffy gay with the unspoken context of this somehow making it ok for Joyce to throw her out. I guess that this is what you where aiming for, I just had to vent a little.
@@Henrik_Holst Making her gay? I thought she meant he knew she was gay, but kept it a secret from Joyce. Buffy's metaphors get very convoluted. Anyway, none of them justifies her throwing Buffy out
@@123animit Well to me the "Have you thought about not being the slayer anymore" and "it's because you never had a strong father figure isn't it" or the "but it stops now!" combined with it being 1997 that makes me feel that we are talking about a parent that (at this moment) believes that being gay (or a slayer) is a choice and not something that you are.
As you write, none of it justifies her throwing Buffy out anyway.
As a metaphor it still fits. Finding out a whole secret life of her daughter. Not just that she was a certain way, but that she lived a whole other life around that. It would be that her daughter was gay, and not just Being gay, but living a secret lifestyle, and having someone that was a big part of it, and part of keeping it secret from her. It's not like there's a trope or some kind of stereotype that Giles would fit into as someone in that lifestyle, but just the idea that he was part of a HUGE part of her childs life that she didn't even know about, still fits.
@@Logan_Baron oh there is a perfect role for Giles in that metaphor and that is as a lbtq counselor from some organization.
Love seeing you go from suspicious of Lily to fiercely protective of her! She's my favourite part of this episode - she's absolutely a mirror of Buffy - someone lonely and helpless in the big city, suddenly alone and grieving the love of her life - but she's also a reminder to Buffy of how many lives she's touched. Lily's someone who's now been saved by Buffy twice - three times if you count giving her a job and apartment at the end. And that's exactly what Buffy needed in this episode - a reminder of who she is and why she fights. Lily taking the name Anne at the end is just the perfect representation of how important Buffy is to the rest of the world. 🥲
Xander and Cordelia r dating but they didn't even spend the summer together wow that's really something
This episode is so depressing. It reminds me of the vibs I got from Angel.
Mad Men! :)
Look it's none of my business but i cant take it anymore is that your closet door behind you and if so why is it always open a crack? What about the monsters man? What if they sneak up?!
😆
You make some great points. But... what if it leads somewhere wonderful, like a wardrobe sometimes does?
@@nickreacts6394 that's how you get to Narnia. Better hide your location well lol
let's say it together, friends: GANDI!
I think even Gandhi would approve of this episode... :)
"You know, if he was really pissed off..."
Always nice to see communist Buffy ;)
About Joyce, I think she's right in being mad at Giles, because Buffy is a teenager. However, I don't agree with blaming him for her leaving. I can still understand Joyce being mad and saying something she maybe doesn't mean. It'd be so stressful to not know where your daughter is.
And however mad you are at the scoobies in the next episode, I'll agree. I just hate them every time I see that one XD
Yeah, I'd say that's an important distinction... Joyce can be upset to be so out of the loop and blame Giles for this (not sure whether it's fair, but understandable). But to place the blame on Giles for Buffy leaving? I think that's Joyce fearing for her daughter, and taking that fear out on Giles in an emotional way. And next episode... well, plenty to discuss when that one comes out I'll just say that for now...
She doesn’t want to blame herself, even though she’s the one who literally told her to not come back.
@@daniig62 And you know completely failing to notice anything about her own daughters life.
Just how.
Accidentally watch ep2 before ep1 must have been totally frustrating. Please show your reaction without edit. We want see.

Here's something that I said to a TH-camr who does daily Wordle videos. Maybe it will help you be at peace with your mistake... if you aren't already. Here's what I said to them...
Any mistake you make, you can think of as a badge of authenticity.
Haha, trust no one!!!
I don't normally watch reactions to episode 2 because it's one of my least favorite episodes, but I'll definitely be watching this one.
Oh no you watched ep 2 first? That sucks! I've never done that... 😬... Nope... Definitely not he he he... 😩
Lily was an interesting character, but she makes Buffy look like a real live rocket scientist. This is one of my favorite episodes.
This is the second best season
Great to hear!
Disagree but it's very good. Every season from here on out is amazing!! S3 has some crazy stuff though. ❤️
I think it's pivotal and is really great on it's first run, but I don't enjoy rewatching all of it myself. Just certain episodes. Other seasons have better re-watchability, but as a first time run it's awesome.
I feel like the brilliance of Buffy is that everyone has a different opinion on what's the best season. Best to just let the reactors decide for themselves.
Oh yeah, that one where The Slayer started a communist revolution in Hell...
I was gonna save this for when you got to that ep,but since you started the video by admitting you watched the wrong episode 🤣....I believe the very 1st ep of"Buffy"I have *ever* watched was ep 3x04. Then I probably ended S3 and then I went back to watch S1&S2 and then I went on. I'm not 100% sure,but this is _probably_ what happened. And it's possible that this is the reason S3 is my fav season of the whole show...because it has *A LOT* of the things I love about"Buffy"...characters,ships,the way characters look(WILLOW!❤)etc!There's only *1 thing* that this season doesn't have that would make it perfect,but I can't say what is because it would be a spoiler.Anyway,I'm not a fan of _this episode in particular_ I honestly find it very boring,but the season overall...👍!!!
Yeah, I still can't even grasp how thoroughly confused I'd be starting in the middle of Season 3... but I am glad to hear that this is your favorite, I can't wait to see where it all goes!
@@nickreacts6394 TBH I thought it was an excellent point to start with. I personally liked the real 1st episode less than ep 3x04. Not to say that I wouldn't have been intrigued by the show if I started it in the proper order...I probably would have still watched it(expecially because *THE* thing that made me go on watching was not the plot itself but Willow ❤ and she's adorable pretty much always!;-3),but...yeah...
There IS 1 thing that confused me a lot,though...but I don't know if I can say it yet because it could still be a spoiler for you(I don't know which is the last ep you've _actually_ watched!@.@)...😅
About Lily. Buffy left her in L.A. More on that later...
I want to talk about Lily so bad, but it’s spoilers! So I probably shouldn’t.
Even saying that is spoilerish. That there IS something to talk about.

My favorite season! Enjoy. 🦇🪦⚰️✝️🧛
Thank you, I can't wait!
