I will watch this soon. This is a great episode and I hope it didn’t break you.

Ah yes, the misogynistic, archaic, twisted council...glad you brought up the fact the slayer is just a tool and doesn't get paid whereas watchers do. Its ridiculous. Also interesting reference to charmed with the Elders. Thats a great show, too 😃 and no, don't feel alone in crying in this episode. It is n emotional one. Shows how powerful an affect these characters have on us. Through their fantastic acting and the writing, we feel so close to them. Like we know them and genuinely feel for them. Oh also there are some nice references.to little red riding hood in the episode too. The red coat which buffy loses to kralig. He sniffs it like a wolf with a scent. He uses it to trick joyce l, and then the lines he uses when buffy finds him, literally about "going to grandmas house" etc

Even though at first we the audience don't like the shake up with Giles/Buffy's relationship, it's very much greatly appreciated by the end. Cements their role as family and not just business/friends. The music in this episode was gold too as was Buffy using her wits and on the fly tactics...badass 🥰 x

This is an episode that's as much about Giles' growth as a man, as it is the relationship between him and Buffy. Giles is someone who's spent all of his adult life in the service of a patriarchal institution that normalises poor treatment of girls and women, supposedly for a 'greater good'. Giles' realisation of how evil this patriarchal tradition is, is good, even though it's a shame it had to effect him and a girl he loves before he could see it. It's a necessary step towards addressing the way in which the watcher/slayer relationship is unhealthy. And I'm glad Giles takes that here. Buffy's sense of betrayal, disgust, and feeling of being let down is visceral, and it is no surprise you felt it- it's such a powerful performance by SMG. In general, that part of becoming an adult where you realise the adults in your life are deeply flawed, is a theme that's really profoundly explored in this episode, maybe better than in almost any coming of age story.

I told you at the beginning of the series that BTVS has been making grown men cry since 1997. I was 40 when this show came out… and yes it has made me cry many times.

In your opinion. I really like charmed. No need to turn your nose up at another show that isn't buffy. Charmed isn't as good, but no need to snub it.

I always cry on this episode, and I've seen the entire series hundreds of times. When this first came out, I was in early high school and had a similar experience with my own father, so I really related to this episode.

Yes, it's a universal opinion among Buffy fans that the council is trash. Many people believe that the council uses this test because they don't want the slayers to survive past 18 - they want new, young slayers who are easier to manipulate.

I remember when Charmed came out and I was so excited to have another fantasy show to watch. It was a big disappointment for me but many people liked it so it had 8 seasons. My opinion by someone who watched the show is in the minority as most people who watched it liked it. Buffy set such a high standard it was hard for other shows to live up to my expectations. Glad you liked it.

I adore this episode. The drama of betrayal and the reconciliation at the end are wonderful. The vampire foe is quite threatening too. Sarah Michelle Gellar's acting during the dramatic scenes is just perfect. Her face when she hears "You have a father's love for the child"... And I like the watcher guy, Quentin. Not that I condone his actions, but the character is interesting and very well acted.

The trick by which Buffy kills him is also somewhat reminiscent of the fairy tale, in which the wolf has rocks sewn into his stomach, so that when he goes to drink water, he falls into the pond and dies.
