Here I am again with useless trivia facts. The swimmer who lijes Buffy is played by Jeremy Garrett who also played Todd Wilkins on the Sweet Valley High tv show. Now, he is the 2nd actor to appear on Buffy who played that role. The first being Ryan James Bittle who appeared s1 Out of Sight, Out of Mind. He was the one Marci beat up with the bat.

Yeah, well, its an episode ... that happened ... and that is the extend of the my reaction to this one. And I think the placement right before the final ones make it look even weaker. So lets move on ...

Shane West (A Walk to Remember, Nikita and Salem) is in this episode, as well. I believe he is the swimmer that lets Xander know the drugs are in the steam.

Omg, the coach, "after the fall of the Soviet Union" kills me every time! Always hate how close the gross swim team dude comes to sexually assaulting Buffy, and then seeing the Scoobies not give her space to talk about it makes me sad. I think we're supposed to understand that Dingoes, Oz's band gig around a bit, and they practice too. So he's around, just not all the time.

My favorite thing about this episode is Cordy's outfit when she mistakes the fish for Xander, also, that speech is so sweet and funny.

The first thing I wanted say is I think it's possible that experiences in real life can play a part in forming opinions with characters. I can be way off but maybe you have that over bearing over protective guy friend. Or have come across that guy who just can't take a hint. Xander, especially early on, can stir up those memories. Also in your case specifically, the fact that you watched late Angel before the pilot of Buffy has a lot to do with it. The evolution of Cordelia's character within just Angel, is tremendous, let alone from season 1 of Buffy to late Angel. I would say rewatch the Buffy pilot sometime down the road and imagine that was your first exposure to Cordelia. I don't think it's quite the same watching it and knowing what Cordelia becomes. So I think people look at and appreciate the Cordy/Xander relationship because it's a great underdog story. Xander, the dorky guy ends up with the school's most popular girl. Also as you're noticing yourself, he helps to humanize Cordy's character early on. Those are my opinions/theories. Hope all that rambling made some sense. :)

I can't wait to see if u like this episode as much as everyone else does!

Bri

um, just wanted to echo that Wentworth Miller is indeed hot.

A silly, fun throwaway episode - with the exception of Xander's rather unpleasant gang-rape quip at the end.

Ah the fish episode, a true highlight of season 2 and a perennial fan favourite. I'm glad you enjoyed this - I don't think it's a good episode really, but I don't hate it either. There are a lot of references in this one. You probably already know some of these but I'm going to tell you anyway. Xander near the beginning says "The A" refering to "The A Team", a classic TV series that had a rather bad reboot a while ago. "This was no boating accident" is a line from Jaws. The Creature from the Black Lagoon is an old black & white monster movie, while The Blue Lagoon is an 80s romantic movie.

Hey Joss, do you have another excellent, high quality Buffy episode for us? Joss: Go Fish!

Steve Quast

I really really wish you had been right in your prediction about Spike. I join you in your endeavor for a lawsuit.

Steve Quast

Is it bad that Willow's comment actually made me want an Oreo cookie?

Steve Quast

Domi: Please let it be Xander. Joss: Ohhhhh so you wish to see Xander in a speedo! Here you go!

One thing the show did in its early seasons was do their own takes on classical monster movies. Some Assembly Required paid homage to the old Frankenstein films. Inca Mummy Girl did likewise for the Boris Karloff 'Mummy' movies. And of course this one had inspiration from The Creature From the Black Lagoon.

Steve Quast

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh-HA!!! You're shipping Cordy and Xander! A-HA!!! I knew it! You love them. You looooove them.....kinda sorta......getting there.....

Here's a really good reason to get behind Xander and Cordi's relationship. In the beginning, Cordelia was a two dimensional shallow mean girl character. She wasn't much more that a thorn in the side of the team. She kind of grew a little as a character by being sucked into scenarios where she had to help the scoobies, but she still wasn't growing much as a character. Think about all of Cordelia's relationships pre-Xander. She dated for looks, status, and possible future wealth. She never cared about the person she was dating and they pretty much didn't care about her. She lacked heart. Now, if there is one thing we can say about Xander, it's that he has heart. Even his impulsiveness has helped. Without it, he wouldn't have gone head long into the Masters chamber to help revive Buffy. So this relationship, while being good for Xander, is in fact really good for Cordelia. See how much her character has grown. She's finally in a relationship that has nothing to do with status, money, or looks. (Xander's okay looking, but certainly doesn't dress up) She's in it because she genuinely likes Xander, and I think because Xander actually cares about her. I know you've seen a bunch of Angel and the Cordelia from there. Well, reality is, that the Cordi from Angel wouldn't exist without this relationship. :)

Ron Fehr

Snyder was definitely not in the right about how he treated Buffy after her incident in the guy's car. Snyder only saw Buffy react. He didn't hear what was being said.

Ron Fehr

Apparently you didn't recognize Shane West (the guy speaking with Xander in the steam room). I don't know too many of his movies, but I remember him in 'A Walk to Remember' with Mandy Moore.

It's like this episode got drunk somewhere in the middle of Season 1, and woke up dazed and confused pre. S2 finale. That said, despite its weird placement and overall daftness, it still has plenty of things worth watching for eg. interrogator Willow, infiltrator Xander and Buffy putting some alpha-male noses out of joint.

Nice that someone else actually likes this one! 😅😅😅😂

Hello Domi. This is off subject, but i know you mentioned that you liked the show "How i met your mother", James Segel (Marshall) was on a show with James Franco, Seth Rogen, etc etc when they were teens. they just announced that show, which is called (freaks and geeks) is coming to hulu, January 25. It's literally the best.

R J Walker (FumblesMcStupid)

OK, I finally bit the bullet and watched this. You know, it's alright until about the last 15 minutes or so. I think what gets me is Buffy making light of the rapey stuff, twice! I mean, really?!? And the library scene where the other three aren't listening to her is just awful ooc writing grrrrr At least Giles is concerned when Buffy gets injured - although why is no one confused that the school librarian is in the nurse's office checking to see if Buffy is OK? lol Willow is cool in this one, Cordelia really does seem to like Xander (you secret shipper, you ;D), Xander really steps up, and, although they didn't mention Jenny, Giles is still really quiet and subdued and that makes me sad :'(
