Remember, Slayer dreams are prophetic! I've anticipated this episode reaction for a while. Anticipation can often end up in disappointment. But, I knew I could rely on you! 🙂 Liked the symbolism of Faith stealing a red coat with a hood (the cameraman made sure you saw it) - Little Red Riding Hood, walking alone through the night stalked by wolves, anyone! Faith (unusually) had a plan here. Hurt and threaten Joyce to make Buffy furious. This meant Buffy wanted to inflict maximum damage but also less likely to spot she was being maneuvered. Let herself be beat up until at the last moment she can use the device. Then in Buffy's confusion land the knock-out blow. When Faith says "there's no such animal" as an innocent person, does she include herself? Faith admired the knives in the same shop she and Buffy broke into in Bad Girls. Nostalgic reminiscing? You're right about the mutual mixed signals between Faith and Buffy. Is there anyone else that Buffy fights with - verbally - as ferociously as Faith? Didn't Buffy say (Something Blue) that part of her believes "that real love and passion have to go hand in hand with pain and fighting?" Amused at your frustration at having to wait to see the next ep - I had to wait a week!

Such a good episode, although its always a good one when Faith is around imo lol.

Claire Eyles

Waiting for episode 16 to drop so I can watch this reaction back to back. :D

Neil Silverman

Such a great episode. Can't wait to see your reaction to the next one! I will never stop loving Faith as a character. Her entire arc is so well done.

JoDaNa81

Love it...a great 2-parter, and 2 of the best episodes of the season!

Ery

I'm going to save part of my comment because it's too spoiler related and just say, great reaction Dakara!

Gabe Morales

I always had a thing for Eliza Dushku/Faith so I always enjoy seeing her on the show. (She still is gorgeous btw). The father/daughter dynamic between Faith and the Mayor was always interesting. Seeing how Faith viewed Buffy and how things went down from her perspective in the coma dreams was really cool. Even when a person is in the wrong, they do have a side to the story. Xander is a goof but his line about discouraging experimentation with the blaster, but if it was called the Orgasmnator he’d be all about it still tickles me to this day. Typical dude 😂

DakaraJayne

Such a well thought out comment, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I do love Faith, she always brings strong emotions out of me. Great character. The waiting for this show gets harder for me. I feel for those that watched in real time!

DakaraJayne

I can’t wait to share it. I was so invested from start to finish and by the end of the ep I was so hyped up haha.

DakaraJayne

Golden eps for sure! Hope you enjoy the reactions.

DakaraJayne

Haha thanks Douglas. I can only imagine how hard it is to keep comments spoiler free, fair play to all of you for being so amazing!

DakaraJayne

You got great taste Gabe! So true, there’s always reasonings for how a person acts, it may not be the best actions but they have their reasons. That did make me chuckle. Thanks for watching 💜

JoDaNa81

Of course, I do.

Nica Marie

Willow's experiment comment to Xander always bothers me. The blaster is a military grade weapon designed to do harm, so her lack of caring about his safety is glaring. And all if them totally missing his electrocution just steps away underscores how little regard they have for him.

Thursday means a FIVE day wait for part two! That's a violation of the Geneva Convention!!! :-P

Do you think there's a correlation between how much Dak likes an episode and how many comments she replies to? 🙂

Dave Ford

Yes, I just think you're expected to make allowances for it being a setup to a throwaway sight gag.

Dave Ford

So I watched half of this yesterday while having a kidney stone. I think I'll try again now I'm not curled up in pain. But really looking forward to next Tuesdays ep. Any why is the new Pateron interface not properly wrapping lines? Bloody rubbish.

John

5 x 5 :D what a fun time.

I like this double episode but, as I said before, they add a huge event on top of a season already really full of topics and events. So, maybe, for the best sake of the season it would have worked better moving it in the next season. Anyway, as I said, I really like this two parter episode, it has some great moments. One of such moments is for sure the initial shared dream sequence. It recreates the same style and mood of the one at the end of season 3 up to the talking through riddles. The second part of the dream sequence is well done but more straight forward, let's say less creative. In any case, me personally, I think that the mentioned above shared dream between Buffy and Faith, is my favourite in the entire show, A last thing, even if I'm aware that it's never stated anywhere in the show, I like to think that Buffy and Faith met in the dreaworld multiple time in the previous months and Buffy never said anything to anyone about it because, at the end, is a slayers' thing. No one would be able to understand it anyway, what it means actually to exist and move in the world of dreams. Now, for the things that bother me in the episode. A little thing, the scene in which Faith run away from Buffy, Now, I don't if the wardrobe department didn't provide them with shoes fit for purpose or it's due to the way they shoot the scene, but it always seemed to me that the running sequence was … stiff, a little bit clunky, I don't know how to explain it better but I know, from other moments in the show, that these girl can run. The police. The police in the show proved itself to be stupid and incompetent at a level that you could ask yourself how it can still be a thing. In this very episode it's like they want to remember it to us showing how they ridiculously failed to spot, not only Faith, but also the big dead demon on the ground. Towards the end of season three you probably arrived at the conclusion that it is as such by design because it was in the pocket of the mayor. So the police in Sunnydale is stupid, incompetent and corrupt, and yet now we should accept without a doubt that they so clearly connected Faith with the two dead people that we know she killed, accidentally or voluntarily, during the previous season, despite for sure the mayor used all his power to cover up any eventual trace that could have brought back to Faith. At the same time they apparently brush off any question about the person who put her in a coma, and that it's normal that now they consider Faith the public enemy number one in Sunnydale where people get killed or disappear on the daily basis. Now, I realize that the police is used as a tool to create temporary obstacles for the characters, I get it and I'm fine with that, what bothers me is that they did it, along the entire series, in a dull and sloppy way. It's even more annoying when you think that you don't need to be Shakespeare to fix it. She wake up for a long coma, she assaulted a girl and disappeared, for what they know she is confused and probably in a delusional state, clearly dangerous in such conditions, so it perfectly normal for the police to want to apprehend her and bring back to the hospital and, after that, maybe, move her to a mental facility. It's easy, it clearly contained in the events of this single episode and, still, allows the police to maintain exactly the same function in the story. Faith. I like the character, I like Eliza Dushku in the role and the incredible energy that she managed to convey through her interpretation. Sadly, from a narrative standpoint, the writers broke the character in the previous season. See, a writer can make his characters the direction he wants, he can turn an innocent soul in evil incarnate if he wants, I'm fine with the idea, provided however, that he's able to describe how, why and, above all, why, among all the choices available, his characters have chosen the one he has decided. When, at the end of episode 15, Faith goes from wanting to run away, clearly a Slayer thing, to joining the Mayor, someone she has no relationship with, has never talked to and has no idea about his plans of goals, in the space of a scene transition, they narratively broke her character. Why she didn't go on with her initial plan and left town, or, why she didn't give Buffy another shot, or, why she didn't think to remain but refusing any supervision from the council, or any other possibility in front of her? Someone would like a redemption arc for Faith, but how can you have a redemption arc if they didn't tell us how she arrived at that point in the first place? I guess that maybe you come out with a solid a beautiful explanation but, as I see it, it's up to the writers to come up with a good story, they get paid to do it. If the viewer is to do the work for them, at the very least it should be their right to ask for a slice of the cake.

While watching some more reactions for this episode, there were a couple of things I hadn't noticed before. First, Willow didn't know what 5 by 5 meant; despite having months to ask Faith or to look it up (it's a measure of radio reception - strong and clear; last time I saw used was by the Perseverance Mars rover engineers). Speaks to how little interest the Scoobies took in her. Second, Buffy complained that Faith hadn't take time to reflect and grow. But she did - she developed and executed a plan!
