“I don’t think Giles would be impressed with AI.” A fun episode but still in my bottom fifteen, maybe bottom ten. Just shows how good the show is. Best reaction I’ve yet seen to it, maybe even moving it up in my rankings. Who knows, maybe someday it’ll be out of the bottom twenty. I do really like Ms. Calendar in it.

Hi Chandra and Jordan, Another great reaction. Don't you Love how the Buffy Series throws curves at you all the time! This story was much better than Tarzan Demon and Buffy Jane (hahaha!). And Jordan is dead on for saying that this episode portended much of what the online world would become in the next 30 years. 1997 when the Buffy series started (this episode included) the world was exploding online. Also, binding a Demon or a Spirit goes back more than 5,000 years in the very first written texts from Mesopotamia and Babylon in the fertile crescent in the Middle East. Those ancient cuniform texts inscri ed on clay tablets often contain fully formed descriptions of Magic and how to interact with the Spirit World including Demons. Binding is a ritual done to contain a specific Demon or Spirit. Sometimes it's written into or on a container, other times it's simply recited. So this episode was a very accurate and fascinating twist on that spiritual heritage. I loved the Willow and Giles arcs too. Willow had her biggest highs and lowest lows in this episode, with some learning. I loved it when she smashed the Demon Robot with the fire extinguisher breaking up with it. Giles and Miss Calendar met and are just getting started in this episode. There's much more to come with their arc too. Thank you again for having chosen to do the Buffy series. It such great fun seeing you discover it through your reactions. Cheers! Dave

mine too, although one of my favourite Xanderisms is "To read makes our speaking English good." lol

"Behold, Giles the Prophesier..." Another great reaction

Hi David I've watched this channel for a long time and just decided to sign up to patreon. I didn't want to ask them directly but I've been watching a lot of their older stuff and they're announced that Chandra was pregnant did they announce to patreon that had a child. I know that sounds a bit nosy I was just wondered if they had a bundle of joy that brought into the world and I thought I'd ask someone in the comments first just in case things didn't go according to plan. Thank you advance

Hi Dallas, I've been subscribed to Chandra and Jordan's Patreon & YouTube Channel for several months. I haven't seen any posts concerning what you mentioned. All the posts I've seen is just about their content.

It was about a year ago. they mentioned it in a movie reaction. But like yourself I've been about 4 months. So thank you for getting back to me anyway. I appreciate it.

Hey Dallas! I thought we announced our baby's birth, but I could also be remembering that wrong haha. Either way, we had a beautiful baby boy who is absolutely the light of our life ❤️

Chandra in the writing room... "We could use a puppet !" - Collective reply... "No Chandra. No more puppets please..."

This idea is not that original. I'm pretty certain every single printer I have ever tried to use was possessed by some evil entity or other.

The title of this episode is partly inspired by "I, Robot" -- a classic collection of robot stories by Isaac Asimov (1950). There was a movie in the 2000s with that title, only vaguely inspired by the book. [Asimov, in turn, was alluding to the novel "I, Claudius" from the 1930s about the Roman emperor, which became a popular BBC/PBS miniseries in the 1970s.] So adding "you Jane" was an ironic twist implying a romantic connection, a la Tarzan. I expect most viewers in 1997 did not get the Asimov/Claudius connections -- more would have seen the Tarzan reference. So the title was a fun throw-away, like an easter-egg for those who got it.

Oooo wow, so much depth that went right over my head hahaha.

If you're older like me, this episode was total cringe when it first aired. Everyone would groan when an obligatory "computer episode" appeared in a show as it wouldn't be anything close to real life. Computers smoking, sparking, talking - that was a typical Star Trek episode 30 years earlier in the 1960s and it happened over and over again in the intervening decades. However, as time passes, the younger viewers don't realize the computer timeline and how they evolved in real life and in entertainment. This episode rises up the ranks with every year that passes.

Yes, printers have been the bane of computing ever since the beginning. I used to do my computing, hit print, then walk halfway across campus to the "printer room" where you'd say your name and a guy behind a half-door would give you the extra large green-bar printout.
