Hi all. Dakara will be watching Angel - she's got a watch order provided by her discord/patreon peeps. So she is planning on releasing it in the same order as on patreon. There shouldn't be more than 2 eps in a row of each series.

@Smido83 Год назад

Thx for the Info my friend. But IF the watch order is the same as the release order was back in the day, there will be a view times when 3 episodes will be in a row.

@PurpleNurpleSPN Год назад

@yvetterodriguez2550 Год назад

You know, this was interesting. I feel that with Xander gone, Buffy became Xander. The part that made me look at it from that perspective was when she's walking on campus with her arm hurt and sees Willow and Oz from a distance but doesn't approach them. They looked like they were fitting in college quite nicely. Whereas Buffy seemed to be looking in from the outside at them. And then she's turning to Giles and going home but is turned away. And I thought, this must be how Xander has felt throughout the entire time being with his friends at times. He's always trying to fit in and feeling like he's not special until he realizes he's fine and just needs reassurance from time to time. And I thought it made sense that it was him who ends up being the one to give Buffy words of encouragement at a time when she's feeling low. He understood her. And I love when he speaks from the heart. He's always there for his friends when they're feeling low. He brings that spark back into them. I think it's beautiful when someone does that for another just to see them smile again.

@Kayjee17 Год назад

College is all about school because you choose it, meeting new people, opening up to new experiences, and being confident while doing all this adapting. Buffy was tutored through high school because she hated it, mostly had new people turn out to be bad guys, new experiences = gutwrenching negative emotions, and adapting by fighting her way through. No wonder she's having problems!

@Tantalus010 Год назад

Giles did the right thing. Buffy has a tendency to rely on Giles too much because he's her father figure. He recognized that she just lacked self-confidence, and that's not something he can give her. She has to develop that herself. Then he caved, because Buffy's his daughter figure. Also, as a college teacher, yes, that instructor was overboard, even for back in that day. It _is_ rude (and distracting) to talk while the teacher is trying to do their job regardless of the reason, but even still, his reaction was unwarranted.

@visarr Год назад

Probably too rude for the 90s, but not for the 80s.

@Henrik_Holst Год назад

Apparently that rude college teacher scene was based on an actual event that happened to one of Joss:es friends at college.

@killianlpc Год назад

Again one thing you do notice with BTVS as the Seasons progress is how much slicker the show looks with increased budget and special effects. S3 was damn near perfect, and the loss of The High School Years is hard to accept. However, we all have to grow up and it's an interesting progression for Buffy into adulthood with the pressures that brings. It wasn't a bad opener some great little comedy moments as well. The flying spinning stake at the end when Sunday gets dusted is one of the most iconic shots of the whole series. The phone call needs to be kept in mind where Buffy answers and there seems to be nobody on line. Buffy seems to find it hard to accept that Joyce is using her room as a store room, and that Giles has a private life too. Funny ageist reaction from Buffy to Giles here, and also the potential for Buffy and Kathy to drive themselves nuts having to share and get used to each others ways. The show here tries to show that break from adolescent to adult that everyone has to go through. Look forward to your reaction to City Of... should you decide to do Angel, you really should it's a brilliant show with some stunning episodes.

@RabidTribble Год назад

College is partially about moving out of the comfort zone of parents controlling your life, and learning how to take responsibility in the real world. It can be a terrifying experience at first, especially if a child has been shielded too much. I think this episode really captured that terror for Buffy. She'll adapt and overcome...it's what the slayer does.

@adrianopaparoni5584 Год назад

Buffys line to Riley, "I'm nice to meet, ..everyones got a brain" kind of reminds me of Xanders line in s1e1 when meeting Buffy, "can I have you. can I help you .. Xander, that is me". Same energy not the words themselves. Maybe Buffy could relate especially well to Xander because of this.

@leniloubettyboopbossyboots247 Год назад

I think Xander did a little maturing at the Fabulous Ladies Nightclub. 😆 Seriously though, what began in The Prom with paying off Cordy's dress without expectation or ulterior motive shows itself again in his unwavering support of Buffy. Yes, he made a crack about 'what is Buffy wearing' but I believe that was to make her smile and doesn't negate the heart melting declaration of 'You're my hero'.

@nicktoons125 11 месяцев назад

I always thought he started changing quite a bit after The Zeppo! To quote The Evalution Zone - And Xander _does_ learn. In the fantastic Season Three episode, “The Zeppo,” we get to see the world through Xander’s eyes, the eyes of the one decidedly “ordinary” member of the Buffyverse crew. While Buffy, Willow, Giles, and Angel all face off against an earth-shattering crisis, Xander goes on a personal journey of self-discovery in his uncle’s souped-up car. Throughout this odyssey, he is emasculated in every sense, having his life threatened by a cluster of zombies and his virginity taken away by an uncaring Faith. As much as high school Xander aspires to be a macho man, his aspirations are all but destroyed by the episode’s finale. He’ll _never_ be the kind of hero his friends are. What he can do, however, is put his life on the line for them and be the one willing to make the personal sacrifice others will not: he’s everything good about impulsiveness. Plus, by the episode’s conclusion, he inadvertently saves his friends from being killed by the zombie goons’ scheme to blow up the school using a homemade bomb. Looking at adult Xander as compared to high school Xander, the difference is truly jarring.

Professor Walsh is played by Oscar nominee Lindsay Crouse ("The Insider", "Prince Of The City"), the mother of actor Zosia Mamet ("Girls", "The Flight Attendant") and the ex-wife of playwright David Mamet ("American Buffalo", "Glengarry Glen Ross"). She's great here. That's definitely a young Pedro Pascal as Eddie.

@kevinnelson66 Месяц назад

Pedro posted a behind the scenes photo of he and Sarah Michelle Gellar during production of The Freshman. He has fond memories of working with her and commented on how kind and patient she was with him considering that was his first US onscreen role. From my understanding, Sarah reached out to him and congratulated him on his success.

nice start to this season and interesting take to show the Buffster out of her comfort zone in a new spot and with lost confidence and how it all comes back as she finds her feet here... and good to see Pedro Pascal before he known nearly 20 years later as the Red Viper/Mandalorian! Great stuff as always, D... a CTU for you today and keep em coming!

@Buffy8Fan Год назад

The struggle of college was identifiable. Trouble with lots of coming of ages shows is that if they are not too over the top already they seem to become that way when the college stuff hits and I don't identify. I identify with characters all throughout these fifty-seven episodes.

@Zso-VIII Год назад

This is one episode that starts out a little all-over-the-place, but comes together by the end, which I guess is meant to mirror how Buffy was feeling throughout the episode.

Thanks, Dakar, your reactions are always lots of fun. I also really liked this episode, but when i went to a small college in the states in the 90s, the professors were much nicer than this, i think it was just to show Buffy's very bad day. Keep watching, i think things will improve. 5 is better, but 4 isn't bad. And i hate Reilly.

@Belnick6666 Год назад

this the season they switched to widescreen? remember there are several scenes where you can see(if paying attention) on the set items that is there because they thought the show would air on 4:3 format :o

@visarr Год назад

There were no widescreen episodes in S4.

@PurpleNurpleSPN Год назад

@@visarr in the UK they had widescreen versions as at that point the UK was embracing widescreen whereas the USA still hadn't embraced it as widely yet. That's where the confusion around the widescreen vs 4:3 are. I remembered widescreen season 4 very well and 4:3 feels weird to me lol

@visarr Год назад

@@PurpleNurpleSPN That's interesting and something I didn't know. I did a little research and Joss maintains that it should be watched in 4:3 because that's how it was framed, but the BBC (and FOX as they knew what was coming) demanded it be filmed in 16:9 (and subsequently cropped in the US). So, it was shot with the extra on the sides, but Joss didn't take that into consideration when he framed a scene. I suppose it doesn't suffer from the bad coloring on the recent 16:9 version. I also wonder whether it suffers from seeing cameramen and actors just off camera in the 4:3 version who are supposed to jump into a scene. Finally, which version is Dakara watching? The original 16:9 shown in the UK or the later (bad version) 16:9? I agree it's confusing!

@PurpleNurpleSPN Год назад

@@visarr don’t worry Dakara’s NOT watching the rubbish HD version lol. she has a 16:9 in this but there’s some confusion in upcoming eps where the 16:9 version is squished to 4:3 as people confused her about the resolution! She gets provided 4:3 versions a bit later down the line though.

@mparantha Год назад

Can't remember if it was a fan theory or an abandoned storyline from the writers but I recall hearing/reading that Sunday was intended to be a former slayer who was killed and turned into a vampire

@Talisguy Год назад

It was just a fan theory. One I don't particularly like, because Buffy is able to beat Sunday fairly easily once she's able to focus on the fight, with an injured arm and all her weapons stolen. This strongly suggests that Sunday is not unusually tough for a vampire, Buffy was just off her game in their first fight. I like Sunday. Her actress has a real way with sarcasm and she's given some great lines. But I think the episode works better if she's just a regular vampire.

@Smido83 Год назад

Fan Theory...

@POPUpKR Год назад

I believe in the behind the scenes of s4 they do mention its something they decided to abandon

@brianmiller3529 Год назад

This season is my least favorite, but it's still got some insanely good episodes! S5 is my favorite, so it's definitely not a case of the show going downhill. It's just a really rough transition season between highschool and the rest. 1-3 is like a complete thing. 5-7 are a complete thing. 4 is just a little awkward, and casting issues derailed plot things. But even if the season arc is meh, every episode has great character moments to enjoy!
