Lol, your face when Buffy starts to sing was priceless. I have watched. A few reactors now and am always waiting to see how they will react to this episode. You didn’t disappoint! 😃

There is a brilliance to the fact that ONCE MORE, (WITH FEELING) Was perfectly put in place, of where our Buffy Verse Characters were. None of them could possibly share, unless the music surrounded them & the songs came from them, even the unbeating heart of a souless Vampire, trying desperately to make the object of his affections, leave his dank Crypt, before he to bare all to the young woman he so admires. Everything, & Everyone falls apart. Secrets spilled, no one is unscarred, from the down pour, & on onslaught of each others grim realizations, that thru sweet mysterious tunes, Demon of the Song, & Dance, Hinton Battle, a Professional Broadway (Hoofer) Tap dancer, & Singer, brought into spice, & put a spin in everyone's step, James even played guitar on his song Rest in Peace, & Anthony Head, was Frankenfurter in Rocky Horror Picture show along with was the Catharsis, & naked truths, none of them can get over... Consequences have been laid out for them all. & Where Buffy claims there was no more doubt, when she was safe, & able to finally find eternal bliss, & be at peace, the rest of the Scoobies find unease, & guilt haunting them. Especially Willow... Danke Dodo🦤❤️‍🔥 💖❤️‍🔥💖🐶👩🏻‍🚀✨🌕✨

Oh im glad you enjoyed it overall. It was really hard to tell throughout the reaction haha but I think you were just concentrating hard on the lyrics. Yeah definitely listen to the songs again, it's so clever how joss unveils the secrets and moves the plot forward through song. This was one of the very first times a musical episode was created in a show, so you're right to be surprise at a musical in the early 2000s. Sarah sounds a bit British/strange accent at times because she had 2 vocal coaches to help her with her voice. Initially she wanted a singer dubbed over her, but once joss told her the lyrics of the songs, she decided she wanted to sing. She didn't want the big reveal of heaven etc being sung by anyone else. And yes, Buffy is most certainly in a depression and struggling to feel anything. You picked up on the significance of the line she sings before kissing spike, too. "This isnt real, but i just wanna feel"

Also Dodo The BTVs Musical lead the way, not followed the TV Show trend. In fact the Buffy Musical also has a Cult following, like the Rocky Horror picture show. & It's profound example is preformed All over. & Parodied in tribute to the Beloved series. More loved then any other TV series attempt, to accomplish what Buffy verse had. The Cast was proud of there Musical as it was original, & creative, surprising us, & taking us musically thru the uncertain train about to derail, in front of us. Including the bonus (Fang service) Giving us (Spuffy)❤️‍🔥👩🏼‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏼❤️‍🔥that the Fandoms had been only hoping for, the shipp finally between Buffy & Spike, with an infamous Hollywood Musical kiss, & the classical [THE END] Put in front of the two... Danke mien fre’ Dodo.🦤 ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥👩🏼‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏼❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💖🤘🏼

There were quite a few shows that had musical episodes in the late 1990s, before Buffy did it - and even as early as the 1950s. Most of these have mixed reception: some like them, some don't. To this day, Once More With Feeling is almost universally acclaimed and almost always tops any "best musical episode" list. About Spike "being immune": they start singing when they have a lot of emotion; the demon brings the emotions out in the form of song. But Spike only feels strong emotion when it's about Buffy. So until he saw her, he didn't sing. The demon, called Sweet, is played by Hinton Battle. He is a well known Broadway performer who has won three Tony awards.

To answer your question, I do believe it was Buffy's intention to "dance till she burned” here. She asked the demon to give her "something to sing about”, a reason to live (which she so desperately needs) and he refused. But I also think she wasn't under complete control of herself, what with being under the whole singing spell.

Darrell Palmer

I disagree. I think Spike had already sung a song with other demons and was afraid of what he would sing to Buffy. That's why he holds the door open and encourages her to leave. Unfortunately for him she feels comfortable there and is not ready to leave. When the song starts to come out of him, he just shakes his head in resignation and gives in to it.

When this originally aired we all knew it was a musical episode. They had announced it, promoted it forever, and even had a movie-style premiere the night it aired. Nowadays we prefer to spring it on reactors who have no idea what they're about to witness, and it's perfect every time.
