Buffy The Vampire Slayer: S2, Episode 2 (Some Assembly Required) - Patreon Version

Can’t wait for y’all’s “Bride of Frankenstein” reaction. I meant to recommend it when you asked for monster movie recommendations, but I forgot to. I like the original Frankenstein (and the novel – very different) but “Bride” is the perfect monster movie. I was wondering why you seemed to get all the references in this episode. Fun reveal at the end, when you said they should be coming out soon. Good Halloween fare. Buffy doing a lot more than slaying vampires. On the title of the show, the creator, Joss Whedon, said: It “very clearly says we’re a comedy, we’re a horror show and we’ve got action. ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’. And it wears both its silliness and its cross-genre popping around on its sleeve. And that threw the network because they weren’t sure how to sell it. They understood what the show was, but they weren’t sure how to show that to people. And we bandied about the title. We went back and forth a lot of times.” Good insight into the body language when Xander says to Buffy, “people don't fall in love with what's right in front of them.” I’ve seen the significance of the comment (its layers) before but never quite noticed the way they are standing, facing. “Everyone Willow has connections with end up a monster or dying.” Hmm. In my bottom twenty episodes. Still good. It’s Buffy. Only three duds, for me, in the entire show (and even they have lots of good moments). I think the problem with this one is either in the dialogue, or acting, or both, of the main villain, Eric. Your discussion of it is on target – he’s the real evil of the episode but I don’t think he quite works. I do like how we have different levels of sympathy for the members of the villain trio (and the mother). And so much good stuff in it: Cordy, Giles and Jenny, great, funny dialogue and a dark subject matter, no matter how comic so much of it is. It lives up to the comedy/horror cross-genre name of the show.

Hi Chandra and Jordan - I loved your reaction to the Buffy Episode "Some Assembly Required". And Chandra, you're getting Great at Guessing what the Episodes are about! Notice too that in Season 2 they're getting so much better at combining the Scooby Gang research and attack the problem with such a great mixture of humor, snark (primarily from Xander), touches of romance, and character development (such as Cordelia), with the jump scares and reveals. Add the much better cinematography and a great cast that is now fully in stride, and you get shows that have horror and darkness, but they're made more fun by the humor and characters. I may have mentioned this before. The Cemetery where the Buffy Series shot all the exterior scenes is the Historic Angeles-Rosedale Cemetery in the West Adams district of Los Angeles. It's one of the oldest Cemetaries here started in 1884. It's on a ridge that forms a beautiful landscape with the city. behind it. I've been out there several times photographic some of the iconic vaults, memorial sculptures, and grave markers. Angelus-Rosedale Cemetery - Wikipedia https://share.google/50X1f4GhlDHZtphWL Cheers! Dave PS- Sine you've recently seen the original and remake of "Frankenstein", you have to see Mel Brooks wonderfully funny satire "Young Frankenstein" (1974). Your faces will hurt from laughing so much!

So, is it The Willow Connection, or Six Degrees of Willow? Betcha didn't think you'd be debating the finer points of Frankenstein physiology, psychology and high school athletic eligibility all in a show like this? And the Cordelia arc continues...

Depending on the method of revival the corps will decompose or not. Vampires don't decompose most zombies do.

The Hell Hole throws out many adversaries.

We'll be releasing Young Frankenstein too! And you're so right about the show just getting better and better. We can't get enough of it!
