Absolutely loved this one, and the final twist was so sweet (in a way).

Definitely one of the creepiest villains we have had? Very hard to watch at points (mainly the part which I refuse to watch XD).

We discuss the 'Spike' situation at the start, I hope I doesn't come off as too heavy. I really appreciate all of your comments and wouldn't want to cause anything that may suggest I don't want your honest takes on the episodes and reactions! :)

Hope you are well, lovelies!!

As always, if you click the video just after this post, you may need to  download it first.  This should be fixed in a couple of hours!

Sorry guys!! Link should be working now :)

The Gnarl was definitely the creepiest BtVS monster for me as a kid! 😬

Editing your opinion would be disingenuous and completely against the point of a reaction. On a less depressing note... SECRET TUNNEL! Oh, wait, wrong series... SANCTUARY!

Speaking of your "I'll just Google it...or Yahoo it." joke (?)- I found out this week the very first recorded use of "Google" as a verb was by Willow, on Buffy!

Willow and Buffy switching bedrooms makes the most sense. First, Buffy does actually own the house so she should have the biggest room. Second, Willow probably doesn't want to stay in the room where Tara died.

I did disagree with you on the Anya Xander thing, both when it happened and in my 7x02 comment. I think you missed some of my comments bc I end up posting them a week or more later, so that's on me.

I just adore the last scene of this episode. This one is a great one anyway imo, but the last scene feels like Buffy and Willow in that brief moment came back together as best friends, both having changed into the young women they are now. Understanding each other without having to explain hardly any of it. There's always going to be room for Willow in Buffy's heart and vice versa, no matter how their lives change. Great reaction, and honestly I hope you don't feel the need to "edit" yourself in your comments and opinions, like you don't want us to. At the end of the day, this is a TV show about spooky monsters and hijinks. If people don't enjoy it, then they just don't enjoy it. We can all still exist together. 💜

Love this episode. The "button, button" bit is great considering the rules of the game. I also remember it being referenced in The Twilight zone and Willy Wonka. Is it the "Future Echoes" episode of Red Dwarf? It's interesting as Buffy and Red Dwarf are my fav shows! Gnarl actor ( Camden Toy, who sadly died in 2023. R.I.P ) was also one of The Gentlemen in Hush and in a future episode as.....oh almost lol The Willow/Buffy scene is one of my favs, it warms my heart. Also, one of my fav Anya episodes.

VeggieGamer

YES! It is Future Echoes, though when I said that I didn't know what was going on here! XD

Maia Brodsky

No no, I'm not mentioning to insist that I'm right or anything like that, I'm saying I don't think you've seen my comments.

Pauline Robertson

Yes! It's a beautiful scene and it warms my heart.

Great episode and reaction, thanks, Veggie! The inadvertent invisibility spell combined with Gnarl and his proclivities were a great way of showing us everyone's insecurities around Willow's return, and gave us some sympathy for Willow after her antics at the end of S6. Speaking of nods to season 1, I feel this ep must be a reference to "Out of Mind, Out of Sight" -- the episode where Sunnydale High student Marcie literally becomes invisible after being ignored by her classmates for so many years. Marcie had different reasons and different reactions from Willow, but still. Also similar phrasing of the episode titles. I also love getting bits of info from Anya about the daily grind of being a vengeance demon. It must be a hard work environment if you are experiencing burnout, D'Hoffryn sounds like quite an unsympathetic boss 😆

I remember the wrestler Viscera, 6'9" and 487 lbs. I first saw him in the WWF as Mabel, part of the tag team Men on a Mission with his partner Mo. He won King of the Ring, and became King Mabel.

Your view on Spike isn't actually very controversial, and a lot of people hold it. I commit the cardinal sin of liking Riley, not liking Buffy, and not thinking the show is nearly as forward thinking as superfans do, so boy howdy your views are like Disneyland comparatively. On the room situation, in no way has anyone been paying the mortgage and property taxes on it, so they're even lucky they have rooms at this point. We're to believe that Buffy was paying it with her earnings from the Doublemeat Palace and Willow's non-earnings of being a student with no job?

Super late here, but wanted to try and comment my thoughts. I was wondering myself why it's so much easier to forgive Angel than Spike. I think part of it is the acts we see them doing, sure. Angel's acts are more TV-show standard (killing, kidnapping), whereas Spike's are more a real sort of evil. Part of it may be the way it's filmed. But the more I think about it, the more I think it's to do with 1. betrayal, and 2. Angelus vs. Angel compared to Spike vs. Spike: Angel and Angelus to us are two completely different people. We meet him as a kind person, we see the drastic switch to an evil version, and this drastic switch tells us clearly 'this isn't the angel we know and love'. He again switches back drastically. With spike, we get introduced to a bad guy. Then he can't hurt people, and he starts helping out. Slowly, he earns some sort of half-trust, a sort of half-respect as he starts to understand emotions and emulate empathy. It starts to feel like But he's still evil, and the bit of trust we've built up gets punished with a terrible and very real feeling betrayal. And then he gets his soul back, and yes he's insane, but we don't see the clear night-and-day difference we did with Angel. And even if we did, it wouldn't feel the same way, because of the way we've seen him grow as Spike. It's easy to see Angel and Angelus as two different people, but it's not for Spike with and without a soul. It'd feel unfair to ask Angel to repent for what he did as Angelus, even though we appreciate that he feels guilty about it. And yet, because they do feel like the same person, we do hold spike accountable for what he did. I want to say it's wrong, but at the same time, I'm not entirely sure it is. If anything, it puts into perspective that letting angel go was the right thing to do. After what'd happened with Angelus, his fault or not, there were scars left that weren't going to heal again. And with Spike, that's even worse.
