Hi friends, a few important updates:

#1: I apologize for the terrible sound in this video :( I tried recording with a microphone for the first time and it was not helpful, I won't be using it again.

#2: If you want your Season 2 questions to be answered right after I watch the finale please submit them by Sunday 8AM EST since I'll be recording the finale this weekend. (Just leave your question as a comment in the "Season 2 Questions" post, which is pinned to my profile)

I'll be filming Part 1 and 2 of a Q&A (like I did for S1), and while you guys can keep commenting your questions for a few more weeks, by the time I film Part 2 I will likely already have started S3 and may have some bias. 

#3: I miss Jenny

#4: I try to stick to my schedule as best as I can, but I'm possibly anticipating some delay with 2x20 since I haven't had time to pre-record, and my laptop is being sent into the shop today because its having too many problems. They're trying to have it fixed by tomorrow so I'll keep you all posted about possible delays if I can't edit over the weekend.

#5: I love Cordelia :)

Any laughter about your suspicions and predictions has as much to do with how often you are right as how humorously wrong you are at times. When it comes to the structure of the storytelling, and how it changes, your early insights are remarkable. I’m getting in on this late and looking forward to see how your insight grows with the show.

BTW the youtube version for this unfortunately will only be posted Sunday instead of Saturday. Did my best to avoid being copyrighted but it still was, so we gotta wait 48 hours for the video to be released!

No worries - by the way, one thing to consider is how you will want to post the last episodes. I have no doubt that even if you plan to watch them on seperate days, you will end up watching them back to back but it's good to know in advance if you will post them that way or not. Either is fine - do what works for you, but as a viewer it just helps to manage expectations!

during intro next: willow is so cute i wanna hug her forever. 3.) i completly forgot ... what was it ... Happens to me all the time when i think of Willow :)

I've always read it as Buffy being unable to forgive herself.

I love this episode. I like tying in a "monster of the week" with some may storyline and character progression. The parallels between James and Buffy were a little twisted, but on point with how Buffy must feel about her loss of Angel. The part at the end where Spike breaks free of his wheelchair is epic.

Flutie will hereafter be known as "the dead one."

So, starting off strong with the O.J. Simpson reference. Then, Xander with "I'm dead as hell --" referencing "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore" from the movie Broadcast (if I remember correctly). And Cordy with "Overidentify much?" Which is her second bit of dialogue that owes it's ancestry to the movie Heathers and the iconic "God, Veronica, drool much?" But what I love most is seeing the lovely Meredith Salinger. If you do not know her work please see the following films: The Journey of Natty Gann (available on Disney+), The Kiss (cheesy 80s horror, but watchable), A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon (River Phoenix & young Matthew Perry) and my personal favorite Dream a Little Dream. Oh, and can we just appreciate Christopher Gorham here? (Popular, Ugly Betty and Harper's Island). Ok, clearly I have seen too many movies and tv shows. Sorry for rambling. You all may proceed to discuss the awesomeness that is this episode.

I don't like the Buffy/Angel relationship, so this episode doesn't really work for me. However I do appreciate the role reversal as a way to show Buffy she should forgive herself. And I do think that's what it's about: Buffy forgiving herself, not forgiving Angel. I don't think she blames Angel at all, so in her mind he doesn't need forgiveness.

I love how one of the few things that can distract Giles is a classic monster like the Lock Ness Monster. Also: Deleted Buffy Scene Buffy says: "Oh, my dad killed a teacher called miss Weekend at my old school. What a coincidence!"

R J Walker (FumblesMcStupid)

This really is a well written episode. And your expectations about what it was going to be about based on the title were the most literal I have ever heard lolol Also, your hatred of Angelus gives me life :D I don't really have any sad head canons or factoids, tbh all the sad is right there on the screen aarrgghhhhhhhhhh! :'( Only factoid I have is ASH talking about how he decided just before shooting the classroom scene that a student had given him an apple and that's why Giles is eating one, and that he leaves it behind, forgotten, once Willow gives him the rose quartz. That's a bit sad ;) But I will point out how much Giles eats, particularly when stressed (plus chews on his glasses, pens, pencils etc), I'm fairly sure that's a choice because I don't think the scripts ever say 'Giles is eating all the grapes' lol In fact the script doesn't even mention grapes. Anyway, I digress ;) Although did you notice he was holding the rose quartz when he was in his office later? :'( The Buffy and Angel enact the ghost scene is so good and so well edited. I really love it, particularly SMG's performance. The parallels are so on point. I think Buffy is blaming herself and doesn't know why anybody could forgive her. Primarily she thinks she's the cause of Angel losing his soul so why would HE forgive HER. But also why would Giles forgive her, or any of the countless people who have suffered because of what Angelus has done since. Buffy does like a good dose of guilt :'(

This episode gets better and better each time I watch it. The acting in this episode by David Boreanaz convinced Joss Whedon that he was a strong enough actor to have his own series.

Kyle Jordan Ashley Brown

Surprisingly one of my top 5 from the 2nd season, I love this one! The acting is on point too!

Kirsten (Heavenli24)

I really have a soft spot for this episode… just with the emotional parallels between James and Grace’s relationship, and Buffy and Angel’s relationship, and Buffy identifying so well with James because she blames herself for essentially ‘killing’ Angel and releasing Angelus. I also like this episode because I always remember it as being the episode which convinced Joss Whedon that David B. was a good enough actor to carry his own spin-off… and so the Angel series was born :). I always almost crack up at the scene where Angel shows up in the school and says ‘fun fact about wasps’… because there’s a short blooper on YouTube (I won't link to it though in case of spoilers) where David B. cannot say the word ‘wasps’ properly and keeps getting it wrong :P.

Phoenix Dawn

One of my favourite episodes!

Hey domi not sure if you can help but I’m having trouble watching the video 😞 something about playbacks being exceeded?

Lunarwind

This was en episode that I hated when I was younger. I was quite possible because of being imature, and focusing just on the monster part of a "Monster of the week", which isn't amazing imo. But as I've grown, it has really resonate more and more with me on me. I think it really shows how well written the show was, especially for teenagers. The show became slowly more complex as you got older. I can't mention many shows that do that.

Antonio

I think your mic might be a little too good, I mean, there's nothing wrong whatsoever with your clarity, but we could also hear the neighbour's dog's views of Buffy, and I think someone dropped a feather down the road about twenty minutes in! Seriously though, I don't think it was quite as bad as you made out!

HuntingSwan

So last time I thought you were streaming from a stable, this time it seemed like you were in an industrial factory with all the metallic banging going on lol

Justafox305

Good theory about Dru and her clothing style. I never noticed it before but you are right. She started in all white , when she was sick, and then moved into Red or black clothes after she got her powers back and moved more into Angel.

Vicky N

As others have already commented. Buffy blames herself for killing Angel. That’s the reason for the gender reversal in the reenactment. That’s why Cordelia says in typical Whedon speak “over identify much?”

Ron Fehr

I was raised to believe just what Giles said about forgiveness. It's an act of compassion. It's not done because someone deserves it. I don't mean to get into a theological discussion, but my beliefs probably stem from my church upbringing.

Ron Fehr

A little bit of trivia- The title of this episode came from a 1950s song of the same name. While the events of the flashback occurred in 1955, the song wasn't recorded until 1958.

Justafox305

This is so random, but i literally just googled the actress who plays Jenny Calander, her real name is Robia LaMorte and she was a backup singer and dancer for Prince? and was in a bunch of his music videos. She also went on tour with Michael Jackson..that's amazing. i'm shocked

Cathy Gillies

Good pick up about Drusilla's colour choices - I've never picked up on that before. I do like this episode and it is one that improves with rewatch. I think it definitely refers to Buffy not being able to forgive herself.

litafanforlife

So many favourite episodes of this series , for me, are from this season. This is definitely one of them. I really liked the story and the acting from SMG and David Boreanaz was wonderful.

Steven

Is there a new tier for Buffy Extended?
