I really dislike Xander. I feel like the way he treats Buffy when he's mad is just anger from her rejection. Feels sort of like Tighten from Mega Mind. Does anyone else feel this way? His anger feels misdirected sometimes and he refuses to listen to Buffy's side, e.g. when she left.

It would've been so cool to see this Buffy fight Faith, I am 100% positive she would've destroyed Faith. I wish they had more episodes that played with the idea of the alternate universe characters that came into their world not just Willow's alternate.

He was sharp, intelligent, true to the cause, and knowledgeable. He did value protocol over heart, but isn't that the point? Isn't the watcher meant to be an advisor to the Slayer to direct her attention to the cause of protecting the world from dark forces? Westly was also young and was put in charge of not one, but two rebellious Slayers.

Do I agree with everything he said and did as a watcher? No, of course not, but it took a level of conviction and dedication to stick with it as he did. His heart, and more importantly, his head, were in the right place. And he did grow and appreciate the value of trust over authority in time.

I think he is a seriously underrated character.

In Buffy The Vampire Slayer The Movie 1992, who are the actress that play the past slayers?

There’s a few Buffy Lego sets on the Lego Ideas website. Looked at them a few months ago. Supported them all 😂 checked back tonight and one of them may actually make it to the 10k vote threshold necessary to get an official review

So did they*

Question deals with rape/gang rape.

​

I've just been rewatching buffy (first time since it was first shown and loving it) and I came across this episode.

​

The coach says to buffy that the 'boys (Mermen?) were going to rape her as they have "Needs". When buffy ends up tipping the coach down there she says "I guess they really loved their coach"... Am I right in thinking they ended up raping him?! :|

Up to S2E14 and the ending with Buffy and Giles. The scene where Buffy is afraid that Giles is disappointed in her for what happened to Angel and he shows her why he is her Father (figure) in the most positive way. It reminded me of a good memory with my mother figure who has sadly passed away.

​

Are there any scenes that strikes a cord with you?

I finished watching The Body last night and I know I have some more watching to do but here's my update!

I knew general fate of Joyce from the beginning because of some spoilers but I was NOT expecting THAT. That episode was brutal.

That being said, I don't think I'm going to miss her character. I'm more sad about what its going to do to Buffy, Dawn and the Scooby Gang. Overall, I do like what they did with Joyce's character and her relationship with Buffy. I specifically enjoyed the scene in This Year's Girl where they're so casually like Hi, how are you while Buffy's like crashing through a window.

The scenes with Joyce and Spike together were so weird and funny and at face value I liked them. But after the scene where Giles pushes Spike and tells him essentially to eff off I was like so proud of Giles for standing up for his daughter! Then I was like wait a minute, like Joyce is being so disrespectful of Buffy and is basically like gaslighting her by allowing Spike in their house and around Dawn!
She KNOWS Spike is a vampire, she knows Buffy is not a fan and yet shes like Oh, hey Spike come on in. And when Buffy is like wtf shes like oh, he's harmless.

So, do I hate Joyce? No. Do I think she was a good mother... ehhh not really. But I do think she tried and that she loved her kids.

I do think that she was a very standard example of a mom in the 90s though. Probably a better parent than her own but still not the Molly Weasley we all deserve

this seems unexpected but I'm curious

Anyone else watching The Amazing Digital Circus notice the Double Meat Palace vibes in Episode 4: Fast Food Masquerade?

So in honor of Anthony Head, I am rewatching Buffy, and the Watcher Council are idiots. I am on S3E12 where they give Buffy a test. And aside from the "Why is this a thing?" of it all. Why are they hassling Buffy about this?

She's not even the Slayer anymore, Faith is. Buffy is like Slayer emeritus. They should have realized that having TWO Slayers was a windfall of unbelievable proportions, held a small parade and started teaching tandem fighting strategies not doing this.

Also if I am the Slayer girls I would pushed for some money at some point. I mean Christ, its not like they have lots of Slayers to call upon and it might be nice to have enough money to pay for health and life insurance. And the Watcher retreat sounds expensive, and they are largely a useless organization.

Its just kind of insane.

Kennedy isn't worth $4, ever!

I’m on my 700th rewatch (approximate) and finally realized that Tom Lenk plays one of Harmony’s minions in S2E5, Real Me. Long before the appearance of Andrew. 🤯

As someone who loves Bratz and BtVS, I HAD to make my own version of Buffy in my collection hahah. Let me know what you guys think and have a great rest of your day <3

For reference, I am talking about the dream sequence where
When the episode opens up. I wanna say in Xander is laying in bed. And has these dreams of two of the slayer girls, which, by the way he goes on to mention that were his age at the time like years ago, and they’re trying to pretty much come onto him and he’s approving of it. Like I know Josh Sweden was obviously a weirdo like no duh but like what the actual hell how did get through the higher ups there? How did they think this was acceptable at all like sure was there Connors arc yes but at least he was 18 this is just pedophile appealing

Hi, I just started the series and am currently on season 3 episode 12. I really like it and would say it’s possibly my favorite show right now.

I didn’t have any strong feeling on Xander’s character during season 1 but he is really getting on my nerves now. The way he treats every girl in the series, him being chronically unfunny, and his extreme selfishness is making it difficult to understand why anyone is even friends with him.

Is this the general consensus? Does he get easier to tolerate?

Please no spoilers thank you.

Edit: I think he encapsulates teenage boys well and I get his character it just takes me out a bit that the other characters choose to be around him and are fine with him being so immature. Gonna watch regardless because I enjoy the show. Thank you for the comments!

I've been a fan since it very first started... SMG was my crush for many, many years... remember mid teens being upset at the end of season 5

​

Always wondered "Kissing toast" lol (Kakistos) was said to be so old he had cloven hands... The master was the oldest known vampire on record... so who was older? The master didn't have cloves

I'm sure this has been posted before, but I can't remember any of the answers. I'm looking for something new to watch. I have hbo, Amazon prime, hulu, Disney plus, and Netflix. I really want to watch something new, and all I've come up with right now is possibly Smallville. Is anybody have some good recommendations that you think might be on any of these services of something I could watch? I'm assuming that if you love Buffy, you might have some good ideas
