Been waiting for this one. I haven't watched yet, but I love when you get such different reaction faces (in the thumbnail). Can't wait to see what caused it. Something dreadfully violent, I'd imagine.

Buffy is John McClane. The Annoying One is dead. A new era begins.

2026-10-06 11:00 Hi Chandra and Jordan - Another Great Episode in "School Hard". The arrival of Spike is a big arc in the series. There is much that will be revealed as the Series moves forward. The Principal will remain a Dick and no, he doesn't know who Buffy really is. The big arc this season is the Buffy and Angel one. So that will continue and evolve. There will be the usual independent Episodes that explore new demons and paranormal entities and events, so look forward to those too. I'm loving how Chandra in about every Episode now says a line and Buffy or someone else says that exactly line seconds later! Cheers! Dave

Dave PS - In reply to the couple of people who have castigated my post for revealing too much. I don't reveal anything specific about what happens to any characters in future episodes. Just as I and others posted in Season one, that Season's arc was with the rise of the Master, and that the pattern throughout these Seasons was for the Producer's to have one-off episodes that explore other demonic creatures or aspects of the paranormal. That enlarges the Buffyverse and keeps the Series interesting because you don't know what comes up next. That was also a highlight of Episodic TV back then when you had to wait for the next episode next week. So they kept the viewers excited about where it was going to go next. That's how the better shows lasted 7 seasons on TV. Other people had posted their excitement about this Episode being the introduction of Spike and his significant arc in the series. No one is telling what happens, just remarking on the significance of this Episode and the Series.

This is when buffy starts really getting good

Hans Engelen

All hail Spike !!! Man Joss Whedon hated how much the audience liked spike ... And yes vampires are demons, but really watered down over the ages.

Me

Yay! Spike and Dru are here. Buffy gets good, good now.

Kenton Kruger

I always consider this to be the turning point episode, where the show becomes the one we know and love.

Kenton Kruger

Way too much future info in this comment. Let them discover stuff on their own.

Raven Dark

Ohh, yesss. Say hello to one of my favorite characters in the Buffyverse. Le sigh. Spike, my prince. The other commenters are right, this is where Buffy The Vampire Slayer gets good. For me, Prophecy Girl was the first episode that showed us a glimpse of the show's true greatness. This episode? Here, we're beginning to see a hint, just a hint, of the icon this show is meant to be. We're just getting started, my friends. This is only the beginning.

Michael Short

Spike has entered the conversation! :D

Temujin

Juliette Landau's ( Drusilla) parents were Martin Landau and Barbara Bain. They were popular actor's in the 60's and 70's. They both were in the 60's series Mission Impossible and in 1975 co-stared in the series Space:1999.

PhantomLuna

Why are you telling them all of this? Let them watch the show and discover things themselves. You should edit this and remove your spoilers.

Captain Hammer

There really needs to be an appropriate report option on patreon for adults that don't know proper behavior for first time reactors.

Mondo Spieler

For me, this is an all-time series top 10 episode. And has all-time series character(s) introduction. Good job with the Die Hard foreshadowing. As far as what the principal really knows, you'll just have to keep watching...

SPIKE

Michael Jones

Die Hard in a school. Jordan nailed it.

Thadman

Heh, Sheila called out to her guy, "Meatpie," which is slightly funnier than "Meat Boy." 😆

Bud Haven

Hopefully they'll get a moderator for this chat. They're going to need one.

ShadowDrgn

I haven't watched this in 20 years, rewatching this now and seeing things from the early seasons, knowing what I know it's wild. And this is so fun to watch and your reactions is so fu n

Eric

My two favorite vampires in the Buffyverse! Dru and Spike!

Dan Harris

For vampires, a sire is the term used to refer to the one who turned them. Angel is the one who turned Spike. Remember Giles said Spike was less than 200 years old. As for the Annointed One, the actor who played him had a growth spurt between seasons 1 & 2. Quite impractical for an undead creature that doesn't age. He was only shot while sitting down, or from above where his height wouldn't be noticed.

Kazza

But Angel didn't sire Spike. Another vampire did.

Dan Harris

As Spike referred to Angel as his sire. I took him at his word. But apparently Drusilla was his actual sire.

Word Charm

Love Spike! Excited you're in Season 2. The season just gets better and better.

Ixaala

As a rule, if it's something someone wouldn't know at this point in the series it shouldn't be in a comment. So talking about the overall arc or revealing what the principal does or doesn't know is a spoiler. In this episode it has been made clear Spike will be a recurring character so people saying they like him is reasonable as long as it goes no further. But it takes away the fun if you reveal things someone wouldn't know at this point as a first time watcher, so you might want to be careful about that.

Ixaala

I love the Snyder twist at the end, so many 'chosen one' stories have the rest of the world be oblivious, the hint he might know something feels really interesting. Buffy lore is fun, and there are lots of twists that play a big part in the show. You may want to consider having someone who already knows the show check comments before you read them going forward (if you don't already) so you don't get accidentally spoiled by something. Sometimes people familiar with the show let things slip without realising or in excitement even if they mean well.

M.G Davenport

Angel is his grandsire. Spike also sees Angel as the one who taught him how to be a truly evil vampire. He's like his unholy father as well as literally his grandsire

M.G Davenport

Mission statement from the writers - from now on, less ritual and more fun! Spike & Dru bring the fun. Buffy gets good starting now, and in a few episodes, it gets unbelievably good.

Tyler ✨

I was so excited to watch your reaction to this episode and you did not disappoint! Spike is a great character. In my opinion, this episode is really where the show found its footing.

Aaron Jacob

"Chop her into messes" is one of the many Shakespearean phrases (Othello 4.1) that Spike occasionally drops throughout this season.

MaplenutsReact

Ooo I don't know Shakespeare well, but I'll try keep an ear out for more lines like that!

Ross43

Lots of spoilers in this thread. Was that your goal?

Ross43

There is nothing accidental about the spoiling going on in all of these comments.

Ross43

Then he adds a PS and spoils even more. Some people have no willpower.

Garrick Smalley

I do not know why I am not getting notification when theses episodes post! Spike! Dru!
