It's an episode that makes me laugh a lot but no, overall it's not a very good one. You'll find most people in the fandom dislike it. :D

Yeah this is the only s7 episode I’ve never rewatched 😂😂😂

Say what you want about the whole love spell Buffy/RJ stuff but a lot of the more humorous moments in this episode give me a pretty good chuckle every time. Still ranks higher than Go Fish or Beer Bad, or even Where the Wild Things Are imo.

I‘m not sure if you‘re aware what Dawn was referencing when she said „No one expects the spanish Inquisition„. It’s this Monty Python sketch: https://youtu.be/Cj8n4MfhjUc

Yeah not much to say about this one other than: I don't like it. It's not my least liked episode of the show, but it's close. I guess you didn't recognise Riki Lindhome - the blonde cheerleader who was using crutches. She plays the therapist Dr. Kinbott in Wednesday.

I'm a little taken aback by some of the comments here regarding this episode. I thought this one was generally well liked within the Buffy fandom. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose. I personally love this episode. I find it absolutely hilarious. It doesn't matter how many times I've seen it, I still lose my shit at that scene in Principal Wood's office with Buffy in the background holding the rocket launcher and her and Spike going back and forth. It's just so funny. It also gives me season 2 nostalgia as it reminds me a bit of "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered". Seeing how dark the show got in seasons 5 and 6, I think this episode is such a refreshing fun one.

def an unpopular opinion but i think this one is so funny, one of my favorite comedy episodes in the show. i definitely would not consider it a 'good' episode per say in terms of actual plot and writing, but i genuinely enjoy watching it so that's enough for me lol. i also like it because it's such a nice refreshing breath of air to go along with all the heavy heavy topics. i think that's why the placement is so weird, but honestly after watching season 7 i've come to appreciate any break we get in the misery. (somebody please let me know if that last sentence is spoilery as it kinda references the upcoming season)

Little did Xander know at the time that his comment about the jacket attracting girls was right on point. It may have been a joke when he said it, but it turned out to be true.

Ron Fehr

He said dog-eat-dog, not dog-eat-dong. Dog-eat-dog is a term for people not caring about other people when trying to advance in business (not the best explanation, I know).

Adoreandu

Not worth a rewatch, I think.

Bud Haven

Yes it wasn't great but it was funny at times. Still better than Go Fish.

Ron Fehr

While you were doing your episode wrap-up, it occurred to me that D'Hoffryn may not have sent the demon to kill Anya, but possibly just to scare her some more, maybe just injure her. By the way, she claimed that there were many Anyakas out there, and that the demon had the wrong one. Who are these Anyakas? Name one, Anya.

Ron Fehr

Whew! We almost saw Willow perform a mystical sex change.

Robin Davies

Possibly my least favourite episode of the series, though the silent comedy routine outside the principal’s office was neat. The music that played in the slow motion scenes when the women were falling for R.J. was the theme from the movie, "A Summer Place." Oz mentioned that his romantic fantasy involved a feather boa and the theme from "A Summer Place" in his first episode, "Inca Mummy Girl."

look is this episode good? absolutely not. but it does come before a Very good episode so you have that to look forward to!!! it’s honestly unfortunate that the buffy + bazooka + spike + principal wood montage is maybe the funniest physical comedy in the entire show outside of hush because it’s in this episode lol. and as a queer woman it’s nice to have people actually mentioning willow’s sexuality occasionally! the “i’m right there with you” bit with xander is obviously icky because dawn but it’s like the second time in the whole show we get her being actually visibly physically attracted to a woman. also the “he’s a boy” “yeah but he doesn’t have to be” Is a funny scene lmao. outside of that it does kinda give “i was an incel nerd in high school and all the jocks got all the girls and i want to blame a reason completely out of my control so i’m gonna use my very progressive (at the time) show to do that!” which… makes sense considering.

I think this episode works well as an allegory for the times when we become infatuated with people for no good reason - it's not someone we actually no well, we don't necessarily even act on it, but for some length of time we convince ourselves that it could be something. Those can especially be the times we make fools of ourselves. Incorporating any segment of the Scoobies, while centering the focus of infatuation on a high school student doesn't work well - although a bigger ick factor might be fact that the actor who played RJ is only 2 years younger than SMG and around 27 when this episode came out; which makes the stuff with Dawn worse. In terms of story though, I think there's an interesting twist on the love spell thing in the fact that, RJ wasn't at fault, or even aware of it; and it remains unclear who actually cast it. It might have been RJ's dad, but even that's not certain. So while people's free will is subverted for the sake of the plot, it's almost more of an "act of God" type of deal, where no one's directly responsible for why people are feeling the way they do - which isn't a bad metaphor for when people go through these feelings in real life. Even with RJ's mom fits the allegory, because she reflects the lives of plenty of other women, with a wide variety of circumstances - homecoming queen and whatever, married her high school sweetheart, who was the all-star jock, yada, yada. Maybe RJ's dad is a jerk, maybe he's not; for all we know he didn't cast or know about the spell either and was just sentimental about his jacket because he legitimate loved his wife. RJ's brother doesn't seem to be living the stellar life without it, so ostensibly the magics don't last indefinitely when you stop wearing. It's different take on the concept, because the jacket's just the McGuffin for characters to feel the big feelings that make them dumb; which I feel like has happened to most of us at some point in our lives. And not because we were drugged or otherwise taken advantage of, but because for whatever reason we convinced ourselves that this person is the most beautifully beautiful person and ours is a true love; when really, we're just full of shit and too blinded to realize it. And then Dawn actually fits into that side of those feelings, where the not just doubt creeps in, but other thoughts to; the types of intrusive thoughts that tells people the only option is to hurt themselves, because it will seem romantic or there's hope to be happy - which is a side of that type of infatuation that's real, and again, doesn't need a real world catalyst. But it also adds to the importance of that snapping Buffy out of it enough to save Dawn, and tell her that the affections of no other person is worth hurting yourself; which is definitely a message some viewers probably needed to hear, and in context they might be able to relate to, regardless of the conceit for it. As to why its effects were the way they were, I might reason that, because the jacket was now a couple of generations old, and who knows how much older than that, it's plausible the magics infused in it had weakened over time and had become unstable; resulting in less predictable or consistent effects. At it's prime, the effects might have been more subtle, which is why it didn't cause a Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered level of female mania when RJ's brother was in school; and might have also been why it now caused people to be that extra level of toxic in their infatuation with RJ.

This is one that definitely hasn’t aged well. I agree that they needed an episode right about this point with some humor so we could remember that these characters were always also supposed to be funny, but the themes and ideas surrounding the love spell are pretty icky, and I also just hate when they put beloved characters in situations where the watcher feels wretchedly embarrassed for them (Dawn at cheerleader tryouts and trying to talk to the cool kids in the hallway). I did think that early in the episode they did a good job of letting Dawn actually behave like a teenager, which they sometimes really struggled to do, especially in S6, where she always seemed to be either too young or too old for the age she actually was. In this one she was exactly her age, and I liked to see it, right up to the point where she pushed the kid down the stairs and then lied about it. Almost everything after that was cringey and terrible. I feel like they could have done another love spell episode in a way that was less gross, and maybe saved the rocket launcher principal’s office scene, which does always make me chuckle, as does the highly sophisticated plan of Xander’s and Spike’s to just run up to him and steal the jacket. A couple of laughs but mostly a lot of yuck in this episode.

I personally loved this episode. But then again, Beer Bad was also right up my alley, I have a degraded sense of humor. The split scene with our 4 ladies, Spike and Buffy outside the principal's office , I die everytime. Sorry you didn't like it tho' , Some of the themes were definitely off putting

Cory James

In the end RJ just thought he had amazing rizz LMAO He had no idea there was a love spell on his coat and probably never will. I dunno if that makes it worse or better honestly. This is just another layer that I hate about Xander/Dawn cause of what they eventually make happen in the comics. (I dunno if you ever plan on reading those or looking up the plot of them) He's all "Daddy like" and UGGGGH and then he sees Dawn fully and is like "Oh wait...I mean..." and sure, Willow was initially attracted too but she didn't SAY IT ALL CREEPY LIKE THAT. Compound that with all the times Xander has been proud about Dawn's crush on him or upset that her crush on him waned. I literally hate it so much. How did Buffy not hurt him? I forgot to add that I absolutely LOVE how real Dawn is and her extreme awkwardness makes it SO HARD TO WATCH. oh god. It hurts so bad to watch her crash and burn while everyone just stares at her like she's a bug. Why can't anyone be happy? Where are ANY of her friends?
