MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Of course Buffy had to be the episode published on Christmas day!! Wishing all of you very happy holidays, thanks for being a part of my Patreon fam, I really appreciate all the support, truly! I hope all of you have a very nice and safe time. Sending you all very tight socially distanced virtual hugs ♡

In regards to the episode the only thing I will say is: B*TCH WHAT THE FUCK? Also, I watched 2x14 before editing this and my suspicions about the big bad were SO off but all my Angel commentary is brilliantly ironic considering what I think they've set up in the following episode.

Anyways, day 5/7 complete.... 2 more shows to go! :)

Great reaction. Good processing of the Cordy/Xander deal.

What an appropriate title for the upload...wasn't expecting this until tomorrow and was expecting another new show. Merry Christmas to you and now shit gets really real on this show!

aeronitz

The beginning dream sequence is so awesome. I LOVE the callback to Willow and Oz talking about how monkeys are the only animal cracker animals that get pants and that all monkeys are French. So freaking cool.

Tim Pierce

So it sounds like I have Covid. On Christmas Day. At least I have something to do today, now lol

CeNedra

Merry Christmas to me 🤣🤣 Thank you so much and hope you and yours are having an amazing christmas 😍

Lunarwind

Merry Christmas from old Denmark as well. Dunno what's worse. The wait between 2 parter episodes when I watched it the first time, or the wait between reactions :p

Good predictions at the start! Spike and Dru, check. Joyce, check. Angel, check. Oz, check. Mrs Weekend, check. Impressive. At least the rest of the episode was Surprising! That face when Jenny's uncle showed up :-D A small detail that I didn't notice until someone pointed it out to me: when Xander calls his mom he starts with "Mom, hi" - pause - "It's Xander". Xander is an only child, and his mom didn't immediately know it was him...

Dave Ford

Woot! Merry Christmas - and thanks for posting this today. Everyone seems to think Jenny is evil after watching this episode - but all she's been tasked with doing is keeping Buffy away from Angel - which, as you know by now, was hardly a bad idea...

Dave Ford

Oh, and loving your analysis of Cordy and Xander's relationship - I think you're completely right on that. Initially it's clearly only a physical attraction and both of them spend so much time throwing increasingly vicious insults at each other - this is the first inkling that, for at least, Xander he'd like it to progress to something more and actually is emotionally attracted to Cordy. She, on the other hand, is appalled by the idea. Interesting for you to see how this progresses and how you feel as their relationship (or 'whatever this is') progresses. Keep up the commentary on it, please!

Ron Fehr

A fact that you might be interested in- the actor who portrayed the Judge is also the one who played the vampire Luke in the show's first two episodes. As for Jenny, I feel that she was kind of forced into a corner, doing what her family wanted her to do.

Steve Quast

You uploaded an episode of Buffy! Drusilla: Do it again! Do it again! (You know, when you have time to) Merry Christmas!

Steve Quast

Watching: Currently in the middle of your Xander talk. I like Xander and Cordelia together, but you're your own person and you have to do your own thing. And you have a right to feel the way you do as a reactor. So yeah, as far as I'm concerned you don't need to explain yourself. Also, I think I like Xander better than you do but, Xander's amazing? Meh...I mean he does have some amazing moments, but I can also see why some people don't like him (although some people hate him and I don't understand that either). I guess I'm a Xander centrist.

Steve Quast

Next to the entry for "iconic" in the dictionary is a picture of Spike and Dru.

Steve Quast

"Is Angel going to go MIA?" Weeellllllllll.....you pose a very interesting philosophical question......

Antonio

Thanks for the Christmas present! This was your best reaction yet, I reckon. Fully on board with what you said about Xandelia (still can't believe I just said that word), and it was fun hearing you go through a list of potential Big Bads from one minute to the next, haha! Looking forward to the next episode!

Eric Paul Owens

all season as you have been is Spike the big bad.. I been Girl... Girl...

FernWithy

Your explanation of Xander (good heart, acts weird on it) is very good. Xandelia has a purpose for both characters, and that's the most I can say about it without spoilers, but yeah, the dynamic at this point is quite strange.

GenU

Did you notice the Buffy/Angel theme whenever they are together romantically? Or maybe you shouldn't. Soundscapes are not generally supposed to be noticed, just to set the mood.

Eric Haefele

Jenny is related to Druscilla???

Kirsten (Heavenli24)

Loved your reaction and Merry Christmas! I didn’t have a chance to watch yesterday, so I’m a bit late with my comments. This episode, along with Innocence, are two of my favourites of the entire series. I’ve rewatched them both so many times that I can recite all the lines along with the characters. I even own an officially-released VHS tape which contains only these two episodes (which actually cost the same back in 1999/2000 as it does to buy the entire season on iTunes today) :P. Regarding Cordelia and Xander, I don’t mind them together, but I don’t really ship them together either. Their relationship just ‘is’ right now and I accept that. But don’t feel bad about not liking Xander (or Xander/Cordy together)… you’re entitled to your own feelings about them (and you also have future knowledge of Cordy from Angel), and from reading comments on various reactions, it seems there are plenty of others who also have issues with certain parts of Xander’s personality and actions in the show. Also, just have to say: I love Oz/Willow… they are just so cute together. Back when I originally watched the show, I was mostly focused on Buffy/Angel, but rewatching now, in 2020, I’ve come to appreciate how awesome Willow and Oz are. I can’t wait to see your reaction to Innocence… it’s going to be torture waiting for your next upload, lol.

Okay, I just finished the reaction, but you made so many comments on this one, I have to watch it again so I can comment on all of them properly in another comment. So, fair warning, long comment incoming. For now, I just gotta say a few things, none of which I would be saying if you had not seen Ep14. So much of what you said in this reaction made me laugh so hard. I have never seen anyone get so many things right, and yet be so completely off base at the same time. Domi, you kill me. LOLLOLLOL Domi: "I feel like we just got introduced to the Big Bad in this episode." Er, well.... Domi: "OMG, Angel, are you going to go MIA? Are you gonna leave for a while?" Um...er.... *head scratch* Domi: "Is Angel going to die?" Well, you see, that's um... Answers to this episode in a nutshell #ItsComplicated

Raven Dark

Okay, here’s the rest of my comments. Hope Patreon doesn’t decide to be a buttface and make them go poof. It’s interesting that you said you thought this episode is where the season’s going to shift. You are right about this being the mid-season finale, but it’s interesting that you say that because this came out before mid-season finales were really a thing. And yet it is. Structurally, in terms of the story beats and the way it’s told, the end of this episode, though it’s one episode later than the literal middle of the season, it is the mid-point finale, and, as is required for a mid-season finale, this is where everything gets turned on its ear. Side-note, although it is now far more common for the Big Bad to show up early in a story, usually at the one quarter mark or even well before that, at the time this season aired, mid-story first appearances for the Big Bad did still commonly happen at the mid-point, ala Harry Potter. Save for the actual number of the episode in which it takes place, in every way, this is the mid-point finale. Second side-note: When this episode was produced, Joss apparently ended it on the cliffhanger he did because he knew the viewers sometimes were still on the fence, and he knew that with the way this one ended, everyone and their fracking grandmother would have to come back to see the next episode. Oh. Before I forget. You’ve likely had a million people already tell you this, but since it appears no one has as yet mentioned it, and seeing as you *only* said the words Big Bad like, two billion times since this season started… You do know that *this show* invented the phrase Big Bad, right?? I’m not making this up. The phrase you and every storyteller and producer on the face of this earth has been using for the last 20 years is using an expression this show invented. :D Domi: “I genuinely think that the Big Bad is about to be set up in this episode…” *Howls with laughter* Regarding your attempts not to spoil Angel for those who haven’t seen his show. I think most of your viewers have seen it, but I also agree it’s a good idea to tell people when to skip ahead in your commentaries in order to avoid the spoilers. In other words, keep doing what you’re doing. Domi, if you are freaking out about *this* episode to the point where you’re putting off pressing play? Wow. This? This shit right here? This was the easy part. You have no idea what this show is capable of. Domi: “Miss Weekend is going to be in it…” Domi, if we weren’t in lockdown right now, I’d be sending you a CALANDER. So you could put it up on your wall, and then every time you forget her name, you can look at it and remember. LOL I’m just messing with you. I love when you call her that. Domi while watching Buffy’s beginning dream: “I’m not worried. It’s just a dream…” ^Grabs Domi’s shoulders* *Dramatic freak-out voice* Just a dream!? You don’t understand HOW. THIS. WORKS! “I don’t know if I like the Angel and Buffy relationship…” – Domi, early S1. *Angel and Buffy kissing* *goofy grin* - Domi, S2, E13. “I don’t want to see Willow with a boy, because, you know, I know she’s queer, so… - Domi, early S1 *Oz and Willow awkwardly ask each other out* “Oh, they’re so cute!” – Domi, S2, E13. Joss: “She doesn’t understand my power.” Okay, so, remember, the following comments are coming from someone who actually *likes* Xander. Never, have I ever heard such a well-thought out, mature argument from someone one who doesn’t like the Xander/Cordy relationship as the one you gave here. What I really loved is that you didn’t take sides, and you didn’t do what so many people who hate Xander do and just hate it because Cordy is “popular” and Xander is not. What bugs me about the Xander hate, when it gets over the top, is that it comes across completely irrational and even elitist, like people don’t like him because he’s not “cool.” I’ve even heard reactors say they don’t like him because he’s not one of the cool people. Not kidding. Reactors are entitled to their opinions, yes, but it isn’t fun to listen to someone obnoxiously heckle the show to death, making fun of every line he says. But you are absolutely right. Neither of them treat each other well, and in a way, neither are good enough for the other sometimes. I like them together, and you managed to have me agree with you. And before anyone thinks I’m Xander-biased because I *still* like them together, let me tell you something. As much as I like Xander as a character, there were two comments he made in this episode that pissed me right the hell off. ”Buffy, I feel a pre-birthday spanking coming on.” – Xander “Have I told you the part where I fly in on my private jet and take Buffy out for prime rib, and she cries…” –Xander. Okay, the first one, really, Xander? Someone call Olivia Benson right the hell now. They call that sexual harassment, pal. And I am not just being all Me Too. This is after she said she isn’t interested in him. And the second one, this he says when he’s WITH CORDY. Really? Piss off. Domi, you don’t like him? You don’t like them? Yeah. Trust me, I get it. Can you imagine what I would sound like if I didn’t like him? #Rage Right, now let me flip that. On the other hand, what I really liked? Cordy wants to keep their relationship in the closet, but Xander doesn’t. He wanted to take her to Buffy’s party. Openly, where everyone would know. And then, when Willow said he was just jealous because he didn’t have a date for the party, he said, “No, I did not.” That means he didn’t expose them or try to press her beyond his initially asking her. He respected her wishes to remain a secret. Yes, he was annoyed, but he’s tired of sneaking around and being her make-out meat. If it was me, I’d have been like, look, Core, we are out in the open, or we’re done. I’m not your dirty little secret, girl. Screw that. A case can be made that he’s so desperate to be with someone that he’d rather be hidden then alone, BUT, a case can also be made that he would rather be with her in secret than not with her at all. Knowing Xander? It’s probably a bit of both. Yes, my feelings toward Xander are complex. But that’s *good*. *That’s* the show. And don’t feel bad for loving Spike and Dru. So do I. So do a lot of people. They are gorgeously well done. One of this show’s greatest strengths is its ability to make you like things you know you don’t want to or shouldn’t like. This was such a good reaction. As of seeing this one, you’ve just hit the top spot of favorite reactors. :D Joss after Bad Eggs: *Demon voice* “All right, world. No more Mr. Nice Guy.” *Presses nuclear button* *Joss in Darth Vader voice* “I have you now, Domi. And also? You are so screwed.” :D

Raven... 😍 Domi.. did you know e14 is Joss Whedons favourite of the whole show? At least thats what he says on my daughters dvd set 😋

R J Walker (FumblesMcStupid)

Fantastic reaction. I know you've seen Innocence now so, as people have said, I laughed myself silly at certain comments of yours :D This really is an amazing set up episode for Innocence. I particularly love the twists, Willow and Oz, Giles' determination to have a party for Buffy. OMG I love Jenny too and this episode is so hard to watch when her big reveal happens :( Except she WAS just driving her to the party, and looking shifty because it's a surprise party lol And I feel like she's been backed into a corner by her destiny, kinda similar to Giles, Buffy and Angel, all of whom have been (to a greater or lesser extent) forced into the position they find themselves in :( It does add a lot to her character though because we really knew so little about her. And, I guess the month off has led to the wonderful return of Ms Weekend too, I wonder what she's up to ;) Looking forward to Innocence upload so I can say more :)

I think Buffy's dream about Angel was a trap laid by Dru. She probably foresaw all the events beforehand like the plate breaking etc and used that to freak Buffy out....then later she used the second dream to lure them to the Judge. Also regarding Buffy & Angel at the beginning...I do think they had conversations like they did in 'TED'....they also had that talk about her childhood (ice skating) and Angel's dark past with Dru so I do think they talk about stuff but the show really should have shown us more for sure. Same with Giles and Jenny...I'm pretty sure they had more interaction than what they show us. The purpose of the kiss in the first scene was to set up where they ended up at the end of the Ep.
