... This one made me feel so ill! XD WHAT a creepy episode!  There is one scene in particular that really freaks me out (see if you can spot it XD).  Definitely another sold Side Question episode with a really horrible villain!  Always love seeing so much Joyce though, so that was a plus!

Also - a quick apology.  I got so completely confused when Buffy sees the woman in the mirror at the start.  I also then start rambling on about 'X-Men Arcade', because I see it in the background. XD

This was a great one, but I wouldn't be too disheartened if this is the last we see if this villain...

Seriously.

Love you guys! Hope you have a great week! Harry Potter Book Club coming very soon!!

Regarding the THING that I'm sure no one will be confirming or denying (and we are a pretty trustworthy bunch!)... well, don't mind me, I'll just be quietly giggling to myself over in the corner 😂😂😂

I thought Xander said “that’s my thumb”? Maybe? “The Body” is QUITE an episode to be the only one you have watched before! I hope you will watch it again though when the time comes. It’s incredible. I’m sorry that this episode was so distressing for you. I agree that it was a lot like Star Trek. I loved it!

RavenLord

VEGGIE: I hope you never have children, Xander! ME: I hope so, too! LOL! Xander as a parent would be...*SHUDDER* It's too horrible to contemplate. This has never been my favorite episode of this season and I usually don't re-watch it, but your reaction made it worth watching. :) Plus, the Gorch brothers are kind of cool, just in the sense that they aren't your average Vampires with bland personalities. They've been around awhile and are anachronistic in their mannerisms and dress. It gives them something that stands out from the run-of-the-mill modern Vampires that are constantly crawling out of their graves for Buffy to fight.

Ellie

Xander said "That's my bump!" Referencing his bruise from when Willow knocked him out earlier. Also never commented before, but I have to say I love all your honest and enthusiastic reactions! I'm sorry this one stressed you out so much. It is definitely an odd one... Not my favourite either.

Frederique Gillespie

From your earlier comments, I had already concluded you had seen The Body. That has to be a powerful first introduction to this show. Bad Eggs is no one's favourite episode. In retrospect, I'm able to enjoy the funny parts of it (mostly the Gorches and the editing puns), but there is not much to get excited about here. 6/10

I’d probably skip this on rewatch but your reactions make any episode seem a lot more interesting!! Especially with your constant terror lol. I like bad eggs, but it might be the weakest of the season for me. I hate seeing Buffy get into trouble so much, it builds a little unjust resentment towards Joyce for me personally. I can’t believe she called Buffy a burden!! Although we don’t see Buffy’s hectic life from Joyce’s POV often so I can’t judge fully. This episode is probably around 6/10 for me, it’s just lacking some humour, some heart, something idk. I wonder if dungarees means Buffy feeling childlike or vulnerable? What do you think in terms of fashion symbolism? Sorry just to quickly touch on last ep because I don’t think I commented. Listen, I support Buffy’s rights and her wrongs. I almost completely agree with you about Ted. She took the Ted thing too far (serious bodily harm and killing) but your points last ep about how Ted hit Buffy while thinking she was a vulnerable young girl really resonated with me, emphasising how Buffy would have been right to hit him back. However, I think that Buffy needs to live by her own moral code to survive, it’s what separates her from other supernatural creatures she fights. She has to be trying to do right the best she can otherwise the job becomes aimless and dark. This means that she can’t go tit for tat with them and she can’t unleash her full strength on what she thinks is a human. It’s not for Ted’s sake, it’s for her own sake. She has to abide by her own moral code, no killing. Buffy the girl is antagonised and attacked and has every right to defend herself to the hilt however Buffy the slayer has power that she needs to control, it’s a constant inner conflict. Okay enough!!! Sorry lol.

The Ginger Historian

No hate for thinking Ted deserved what he got! I certainly can't disagree. My personal take on it was never that Buffy should be feeling as guilty as she was or that anyone had the right to shame her, but that I fully understood her reaction given the circumstances and everything we knew about her character up to this point.

The Ginger Historian

As this is possibly the side-questiest of the side-quest episodes so far, I don't have much to say, but I fully agree with you that Joyce and Buffy's relationship is amazing. Mothers on TV shows (especially back then) tend to be either inept and neglectful or the idealistic unattainable SuperMum. Joyce is a realistic good mother who can get distracted by work but is always there for her daughter - she makes mistakes every now and then and realizes when she does... and yes she's got some of the best comebacks.

Amanda S

The escalator scene confused me for years until a reactor said it was a mirror and that the vampire wasn't reflecting... So I give you full credit for figuring it out on your first watch. I had seen the episode several times before and never understood what was happening in that scene before someone explained it to me lol.

Garry (Not Jerry)

Also, Regarding the intro. No hate of course. But I will leave you with one thought: “With great power comes great responsibility”

Danielle O'Rourke

It's definitely my least favourite of the season but not necessarily bad by any means, just lacking a bit of something for me and since it’s such a stand-alone I never really re-watch it. This is why I love watching reactions though because it's great to see the episode again from a first-time perspective. Excited to see your reaction to the rest of the season and show overall, some absolutely amazing episodes i'm looking forward to rewatching with you.

Zoo

I quite like Bad Eggs, but I understand why many/most don't. It's the classic cheesy 70s/80s horror feel that does it for me, and I don't even like horror films really. Not my favourite episode or anything, but in my top 10 of this season if I go by the ones I enjoy the most and not necessarily those I think are the "best".

Diego Zenhäusern

I also didn't realize the mirror thing immediately...though it dawned on me when I didn't see the "third" escalator when Buffy turned around an went back up🤔🙂 I overall quite enjoyed the episode (apart from the uncomfortable sex ed class where they let you babysit eggs instead of teaching you about something actually helpful like safe sex...) and the scene in the bedroom had me completely on edge *shudder*!

Raven Dark

About the lesson, with the teacher using eggs to teach teens about parenting. That was a thing around the time this show was on in the US (and Canada, where I'm from). Teachers would give each student in the class an egg to care for, which they had to treat like a real baby. The fragility of the egg and having to be so careful with it translates well to how you have to treat a baby. I believe they still have those lessons, only now they use mechanical dolls. And at the time of this episode, same sex relationships were accepted more than they were ten years before, but they still hadn't become accepted to the point where lessons like this would incorporate them. Teachers would have ended up getting in trouble for doing that, and in fact, the show runners wouldn't have been allowed to show the lesson that way. They wouldn't have been permitted to air it.. So yes, in this episode, it makes sense that all the couples are boy-girl.

Jake M

It's incredibly irritating when you tease us with ideas that we cannot confirm or deny in case of spoilers 😂 all will become clear in a couple of years time! (Your excitement over the arcades was adorable 😅)

Thom Purdy

The Gorches are Lyle and Tector.

chris allen

the fact Veggie though Xander said "that's my bum" and not bump after Cordi hit him made me laugh so much

Garfnob

yes, being the slayer does not give the right to 'kill" she and the duty to destroy daemons. but to kill a person is a completely different thing. moral she should be held to a higher standard do to her training the same as military and martial artist above a point in there training. they are considered to be a deadly weapon do to the training they have. them using there hands is like a "normal" person using a knife. the law does not know she has the training.

Todd Bolton

You said before the episode that Giles was “a good egg” – but not in this episode! No idea what I thought first time I saw it, with the vampire in the mirror. Too many viewings ago. But you’re not alone. I think it’s a confusing shot. I’ve rarely seen a reactor get what’s happening. I love this episode. I’d probably rank it in my bottom 30 Buffys but that just shows the quality of Buffy. Reactors have helped me appreciate it more and more. There was one reactor who helped me to see how it set up two different trials (with the Mother Bezoar and the Gorch brothers). She predicted that this was the beginning of more complex plots weaving two different conflicts together. In rewatching, since then, I think she has a point. Another reactor helped me appreciate the Gorch brothers more. And you have raised the Mother Bezoar in my estimation. Couldn’t ask for more in a reaction. Who knows, maybe someday this episode will make it to my top 100 Buffys. Great thought about it being a Star Trek-ish episode and your brother’s thought of it being Twilight Zone-ish. Like with so many Buffy episodes and monsters a familiarity with old horror movies/shows/plots is a great help.
