RIP Kendra :( Hope you all enjoy Part 1 of the Finale!

PS: Just to keep consistent with my MILLIONS of technological problems these last weeks, my camera was un-focused throughout the video (kind of like 1x01), so I'm sorry.

You said that all the progress Buffy had made about having to kill Angel went down the drain when the possibility of having his soul restored was presented. Good insight. Then you asked why Buffy looked so scared when Giles handed Willow the orb of Thesulah, but it wasn’t fear, it was desire/longing that was in her eyes, on her face – seeing directly in front of her the possible salvation of Angel, as the orb passes before her eyes. Of all the many of Sarah Michelle Gellar’s great moments of acting that one may be at the very top. I have a screen shot of it that I often use as a background screen.

As much as I want to watch this now, I really should wait until you post part 2 in a few days so I can view them both back to back. Yes. The intelligent part of my brain is telling me to wait, to exercise patience, so that I won't have to suffer over the weekend in anticipation. .....*presses play*

Steve Quast

In this episode you kinda got Darla back.

Steve Quast

I think the earlier flashbacks are better than the ones you've seen. Plus now you're more into the characters anyway.

Tim Pierce

And now you know. Jenny's death is the catalyst for Willow fully becoming a witch. It's a sad tradeoff.

Ron Fehr

Actually I think that you mentioned one time that you wondered if Drusilla had visions before she became a vampire. I can't remember which episode though.

Steve Quast

I'm almost done with your reaction. So before this there was a Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie, and that movie was about Buffy being called as a slayer. It's very different from the show though. Different actors and everything. Fans generally say it's not nearly as good as the show. I actually don't think I've seen it since it came out in the early 90's.

The flashback to Buffy finding out she is the Slayer is taken from Whedon's original script which became the BtVS movie. Basically the movie IS the origin story even if the producer and director changed the tone of the movie dramatically from Joss's original vision. Of course the comic version had Joss's oversight and is much better. As always you can view both from my guide/archive.

Steve Quast

None of us survived the next episode. We're all ghosts. .......thanks Joss.

Tim Pierce

Number of episodes without Darla (not including flashback): 26

Two things: I think this is the first time it's been explained that Dru had visions before she was a vampire, so you've not missed anything and - first time noticing this in 20 +years - they've upgraded to an LCD monitor rather than a CRT monitor with all the cables unplugged. Go 1999! Oh - and 'Rumanian woods'??? WTF/

Ron Fehr

It's definitely sad to think that if Jenny had known that Giles had an orb of Thesula she may not have died. However Drusilla would probably still have had a vision, it would just have been slightly different.

Dave Ford

"They wouldn't do this to me. Why would they do this to me?" Have you learned _nothing_?

Dave Ford

Oh, you can't believe how much I'm looking forward to you meeting Wes. Oh, and no, Kendra wasn't Australian. More generic West Indian. with the emphasis of 'generic'. . ( It's a terrible accent)

I am very with you on Kendra, she had so much potential :( Because, aw, Kendra and her pointy thingy :D :D Also, yes, Willow gets witchy \o/ And I LOVE the Drusilla flashback in particular. :) And now on to the library argument because, damn! I'm also with you on the difficulties of separating Angel and Angelus and that is what the characters are struggling with as well. It's a great scene because I can see everybody's point of view and understand why they feel like that. Xander has NEVER thought that Angel wasn't Angelus. He puts his argument in the worst possible way but I can see his point, he's just arguing from a perspective of jealousy, which isn't endearing. Buffy wants Angel back, I understand, he's her first love ffs, and she's riddled with guilt, and Willow wants to support Buffy and do the magic, Cordelia supports Xander, she's always very honest about what she thinks about Angel/Angelus. And Giles....... OK, there is SO MUCH going on in this scene for Giles. (and I suspect some people are going to disagree with me on some of this, maybe ;) ) Up to this point I presume he thought Jenny was killed because of her association with him, which is bad enough, but now he knows it was because of the curse. And he has to remember that she said she 'wanted to make things right with him' and that she was going to tell him something that night. To be honest I think he's very torn. He wants Buffy to be happy and to support her, he wants Jenny's death to mean something and it's a sound tactical decision to take Angelus away from the enemy team BUT I really think he wants him dead and to never have to look at his face again. His first reaction is to look very unsure when Cordelia says 'this is good, right?', then say he can't do the spell, then he warns Willow off the spell (and shakes his head at Buffy when Willow turns to look at her). He says something about perspective and that it seems it was Jenny's last wish but that's about all he says in the scene. Plus, he goes for Xander not because of what he says but because of how he says it (the script says his line is 'don't you ever speak about Jenny in that insolent...' which you can't really hear because everybody's shouting). Like I said, I don't think he knows what he wants right now and it gives me the feels :'(

I'm surprised you already know about faith

When Buffy runs into the corridor at the end and it switches to slow mo it is so epic and tragic!

Kirsten (Heavenli24)

Such a great episode, though I do tend to consider Becoming Part 1 and 2 to be one long episode, so it seems a little weird to judge Part 1 on its own. I love the flashbacks, how we see the big moments in Angel’s life that led him to ‘become’ who he is now. I love when Buffy and Willow find the curse. I love seeing Buffy called. I love the dramatic music in the fight scenes at the end. And I love Buffy’s slo-mo run through the school, which coupled with the voiceover and the music, makes you realise how serious this situation is. Fun fact: this episode won an Emmy for “Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Dramatic Underscore)” The voiceover at the is end is definitely Whistler, but I always confuse myself over the voiceover at the beginning… because it’s David’s voice, but his accent seems to be half-American and half-Irish… which always makes me question whether it’s actually Angel speaking or not :P. Can’t wait to see your reaction to 2x22… it’s going to be a long weekend waiting for it to be posted :P!

I love Drusilla. Juliet Landau plays her with such great physicality. Every move she makes is almost like she's dancing. Your reaction in the whole library scene after they found the disk was so good :-D BTW I like your shirt.

Jo

Loved the reaction but I so need part 2 rn!!!

Thom Purdy

I have six words to be aware, or beware of: Written and directed by Joss Whedon.

UTU49

Angst, death, loss, pain... Good times!

Cathy Gillies

As an Aussie, I do feel attacked that you thought Kendra's awful accent could possibly be Australian. Great reaction and can't wait for part 2.

Cathy Gillies

Yes, Angel's famous Irish accent. Sorry, Domi - my comment definitely wasn't serious.

Carl

"I think this episode is going to be slow and calm going into the next one" LOL!! First of all I remember loving all the flashbacks for both shows and I forgot they waited so long on this show(I'm talking scenes centuries ago, not Buffy earlier in highschool). I think you will have a much greater appreciation and understanding of them since you are now watching everything in order. The flip side to the mini spoilers and the confusion is your "aha!" moments. Not confirming or denying any of them but they are a lot of fun. Especially after the Kendra scene. Was rooting against another extended period of sad/angry Domi! This is supposed to be fun! Ok now onto episode 2! GREAT job as always!

Idun V

I can't help but be a bit creeped out over Angel following and falling for a 15-year-old Buffy... Even if there weren't the whole 100+ years as a vampire, as a human Angel is 26.

Carl

Forgot Donald Sutherland is in that. Saw it once a really long time ago.
