16/6/2022 This was the final episode.So episode starts off with Xander rehearsing to propose Buffy.The moment we all been waiting for all season.We all know how it's gonna end.Demonstrably,Xander gets rejected.Then we hearthe classic,I don't see you that way.I see you as a friend.Xander says a dialogue 'I don't handle reject well which is wierd considering the practice I have.Then She tries to soften the blow and then He says didn't need that and exits the scene.Then He asks Willow for the prom and She rejects him too,which was completely warranted.In the next scene,we find out world is going to end but before Master kills Buffy.Giles discusses this with Angel but Buffy overhears it.Then She has a big meltdown and decides to jump ship.But,Multiple students die and this traumatises Willow.When Buffy finds out She comforts her and decides to confront the Master.Master kills her with ease.Then the evil creatures attack the library where Buffy gang is except...

13/06/2022 This episode is ridiculous.Let me explain.A girl named Marci is socially invisible.Socially invisible means She has no friends and barely have any acquaintances,meaning barely anyone knows her on first name basis.So as we know hellmouth has been opened.Consequently,supernatural mishaps are befalling our Sunnydale.Because of this Socially Invisible kids literally gets invisible as in no one can see them.What?Also,everyone ignores her like ad in YouTube.The show provide no reason for her exclusion.She is average looking and She talks fine.I don't know why everyone ignore her so much.It seemed like everyone is complicit in a elaborate plan of sorts to ignore her.It just made no sense.I think this show is steering towards becoming a soap opera.But,turning invisible plot point seemed like fan fiction to me.What are they doing?I was so hopeful about this show.Is this going to be just like Supernatural?But First season of Supernatural was brilliant.This show is goin...

10/06/2022 This episode was the most impactful one for the Buffy Universe.The whole highschool gets plunged into the mess of the hellmouth.They not only are plunged in the supernatural mess but they wallow in it.Buffy literally gets buried alive after turning into a Vampire.What?Before this episode,the show was coasting along not taking itself too seriously excepts at some moments.But in this one it causes to get out of feeling chill and easygoing by hitting your head with its grimness.A clown tries to murder Xander with a knife.Giles forgets how to read.It starts decent and then keeps getting grimmer and grimmer. For the first time,we see Buffy scared out of mind,completely shitless.The assailant was too powerful and Buffy fails to overpower them.So She decides to exit the situation.Then,The Master buries him alive and when she gets out of the grave,She is turned into a Vampire.Also Before,Her father tells her that she is the reason why her parents split up and says he doe...

08/06/2022 This episode was good,really good.Right back on track.So,the episode starts off with a song performance by Cordelia.The song was so terrible that I feel terrible using the word terrible cause terrible is far better than this.Song was just rancid diarrhea.I mean even I use words to describe it,it won't be able to capture how bad it is.One has to see for themself to understand how bad it is.Its just unbelievably bad.Then,it proceeds forward with quite a funny scene.Where the Buffy gang teases Giles.It was very well made and absolutely needed at that point after that song oh my goodness.Then comes the new principal who is an disciplinarian.Since the Buffy gang has to maintain a life which teeters between the dark side and highschool,by the way maintaining only single one of them is incredibly challenging,they have not been the most ideal student to put it lightly.They sometimea leave at lunch.Which has been brought to attention of the principal.So naturally,he p...

Buffy The Vampire Slayer S1 Ep 8

06/06/2022 This episode was also bearable and we actually find out who is that absolute abomination in the opening scene.The Green Monster had an unbelievably appaling look.He becomes a Internet monster who seduces people by promising them power,love and acceptance.He prompts people to even murder others, which seemed very contrived.He just says I will give you everything,you just give me love.Anyways this greenie seduces Willow by bombarding her with praise.Also,there is a sideplot where there is tension between Giles and Computer Teacher which teases a romantic entanglement later down the road.She is some sort of technopaegan.First I thought it could not have been that word but,yes they totally went there.They went with technopaegan.This sounds like a fanfiction word written by teenager written in a Maths class.This episode seemed so bullshitsy and unrealistic.However,I didn't feel like when it's going to end.Pacing was smooth.The fact that the computer teacher is...

04/06/2022 In this episode,the relationship between Angel and Buffy is sorely explored after teasing the prospect for six episodes.It has a major plot twist,It is revealed that Angel is in fact a (drumroll) Vampire.It is disclosed right after Angel and Buffy share a well setup kiss.We get yanked out of the romantic scene by revelation of Angel's real vampire face.That was quite a revelation if you ask me.Also,Angel saves Buffy ass.She narrowly survives death.When Giles looks into the matter he found out that Angel is in fact more than two centuries old. Isn't she the cutest thing?I didn't notice her beautiful hair untill now.Her hair is so well groomed.It seems impossible that no one is romantically interested in her character in the show.Even her long time friend Xander had not fallen for her.Which seems extremely bizarre even for a Supernatural show.Where fairy tales and fiction is reality. Angel and Buffy had a big fight in this episode and not a couple's...

Buffy The Vampire Slayer S1 Ep 6 Commentary

03/06/2022 Nice and fun episode.It was more of a darker episode.Cannibalism is definitely not a light issue.The reasoning behind the posession seemed relatively contrived.Its maybe cause oflack of attention on my part.This episode introduces the mean gang who tries to disrupts everone's day.Xander against Buffy gang seems very interesting untill he hurts Willow's feeling.I am a "Stick and Stones may break by bones but words will never hurt me guy" but I felt bad when Xander makes fun of Willow in front of the mean gang.Lately,I became successful in detaching my emotions from screen characters.I used to be overemotional during movies.So,I tried to detach and now I think maybe I overcompensated.The Last scene where Xander hugs Willow and says "Nobody messes with my Willow" was very heartwarming and also Xander saves Willow's life however,he also tries to hurt and kill her earlier.Which was not very enjoyable spectacle to be honest.Lately,I didn't felt ...

Buffy The Vampire Slayer S1 Ep 5 Commentary

02/06/2022 It was nice.We got to see a more teen side of Buffy.Till now she had been in her badass mode.In this episode,she gets smitten by Owen.Owen life's gets risked.It is shown in this episode,the problems faced by Superhero as they try to have a social life especially dating life.Giles warns her from the get go that it is not practical for her to date.At the end of episode,she gets to conclusion that yes,she can't date without risking the life of the person she is dating.It was a very crushing realisation.But,She takes the right decision in the end.Superheros life are marked by sacrifice,which is brilliantly showcased here.You genuinely feel for her. Buffy looks adorable when she is annoyed.Willow shows her caring personality in this episode.Her caring nature is really heartwarming to see.She keeps growing on me.Xander is nice along with Giles.Owen was an interesting character in this one.I hope that they bring him back in later episodes.Episodes is bookended by a intresti...

Buffy The Vampire Slayer S1 Ep 4 Commentary

01/06/2022 This episode was a bit underwhelming or maybe it's due to my gloomy mood.Anyways,the Villian was disgusting and it was hinted at the backend ofthe episode that the villian's offspring maybe coming back in later episodes.Which is a diapponting thing to episode. Willow is great in this episode also.She show at the beginning of the episode how good of a friend she is.Which is later backed by her genuine concern for Xander's safety.It showed that she really cared for him.It was very heartwarming to see.Giles is creditable as always.Sarah is great as always.
