You guessed right that the first two episodes aired together as one long episode that’s why it had the abrupt to be continued. The high school from Buffy is the same high school from 90210.

Not continuous cliffhangers. For that... watch Alias.. the show that brought us Jennifer Garner and Bradley Cooper... and reintroduced us to Victor Garber.

Funny enough, Anthony Stewart Head's character in this show is called Rupert as well (Rupert Giles)! There's a joke i have with a friend that he's only allowed to play men named Rupert 😂 Obviously not true, since he's played Dr Frank-n-Furter on stage several times since the early 90s! (highly recommend checking that out, there's a handful of clips on youtube!)

Another note, when you asked if the Master might the big bad for the whole show, or just the first season, it reminded me that buffy is one of the shows that that concept comes from! Prime time television was very rarely as heavily serialized before this, since most networks wanted viewers to be able to jump in on any episode. Between Xena, the X-Files, and Buffy, shows started to develop season-long story arcs that we see today. Since the seasons were much longer (12 eps in buffy s1 and 22 in each of the rest), they didn't have to make each episode too dense when it came to the bigger story, and people could still jump into most of the episodes. But around this era in tv history is when that shift started

Yes! Buffy is the show that coined the phrase "Big Bad" that we still use today. You'll come across other words and concepts throughout BTVS that you likely use often, having no idea they came from this series. It truly changed the world of television.

Brian Thompson (jaw dude) had a recurring role as a vampire in the short-lived series Kindred: The Embraced, a spin-off of the tabletop roleplaying game Vampire: The Masquerade.

I'd forgotten how cheesy S1 is, but still a lot of fun. Love that Angel's contribution to events was 'lurk outside a crypt (doing nothing) and then lurk outside a nightclub (doing nothing)'. Clearly has a lot of time to work on his hair. Unfortunately, looking back, Cordelia is the focus point of a lot of Joss Whedon's Attitudes to Women. But Charisma Carpenter does an amazing job with quite 2D material.

Good observations! The idea that Cordelia of all people is a repository of Whedon's feelings about women is pretty disappointing.

That would be so weird to be a student /alumnus there and see your high school in so many noteworthy films and television shows.

“Do vampires drink protein shakes?” I suppose you could classify blood as a protein shake. So, yes.

Jamie Morgan

"This actually has some weight to it" HOO boy, you have no idea how right you are! This show really tackles some shit. Edit: The whole bit about being close to 1 million subs is amazing, by the way, it cracks me up every time! I hope one day you sail past 1 million and you still talk about being close to 1 million 😂

dys

Eh, we're two episodes in, and Whedon wasn't the only writer on the series. Let's see where the writing goes with Cordelia. However by all accounts he was pretty awful to Charisma Carpenter the actress on set.

Have you noticed the name of the band who performs the theme song yet?
