Please use one of the links at the bottom of this post to watch this video, thank you:Audio warning! The audio may be a little loud in this one I think? A few things changed yet again so let me know how the video plays for you please x

Hello All!

More details about Principle Wood & the potentials in this one. The main aspect was The First and what Buffy could have potentially done to gain power to help fight the evil. The bothersome part for me was the lack of information prior to Buffy making her decision to turn down the power. Let me know your thoughts on this. Looking forward to the next one. 

Hope you enjoy the reaction folks. Have a lovely week everyone! Thank you for the constant love & support!

Much love

Dakara x

This isn't one of my favourite episodes. You're right it is a little slow. Nothing really happens in it except the knowledge Buffy gains at the end with the ton of vampires and a few little tiny bits of info characters get.

Matt

Welcome back Dak, hope you had a great birthday/week off. Not much to talk about in this episode to be honest, bit of a filler but I enjoy it, just because it has that humour and drama all Buffy episodes manage to have.

Ed Green

The Shadow Men are like the Watchers' Council. They didn't want to help Buffy, they wanted to control her, to use her as a weapon, like they did with the First Slayer. It didn't occur to them to show her the lots-of-demons vision before offering her the power; any more than it would have occurred to the Watchers' Council not to put her through the Cruciamentum locked-room-vampire test on her 18th birthday in Season 3. It's the same reason the Council pay the Watcher but not the Slayer: the Slayer is a tool to them, not the wielder. They wanted to have a way to fight evil without endangering themselves, but also without surrendering control of the fight. It would have totally been the right thing for them to show her the vision first, but that's why Buffy not having that extra power boost now is on them, not on her. I get the impression Kennedy is about 19, maybe 20. Willow (who's 22) has been fighting Hellmouth evil since she was 15, while Kennedy's only had the last few months and before it she had higher than average financial privilege, coming from a multiple-wing house. Glad to have you back. I hope you enjoyed your birthday week, and I am very much looking forward to the conclusion of both Buffy and of Angel S4 :) Not sure how far ahead you've watched already, but I remember that you followed advice to avoid looking at the opening credits of the first Angel episode, so I'm going to leave this here (I debated with myself whether to say anything but since you've done it before): you might want to do the same for the next few Buffyverse episodes, as there is at least one instance of another 'credits spoiler' - 20 seconds after the main credits this time.

Eddie: Nothing to add but wanted to tell you what you said about the Shadow Men and the Watcher's Council was very well put and totally spot-on. Thank you for your commentary!

Claire Eyles

My favourite part of this episode was when Kennedy got the life sucked out of her by Willow's magic. Yeah, still not a Kennedy fan. In terms of Buffy refusing the additional power from the Shadow Men, I get what they were trying to do there, but I've always felt the metaphor with the Watcher's Council and male power/control over a female slayer was far too ham fisted in this instance. To me it always felt like there was someone off screen shouting, "Hey, did you know these guys are stand ins for the patriarchy just like the Watcher's Council," and I'm just sitting there going, "Yes, yes I did notice that, just as I noticed it for the previous 6 seasons without needing the writing to yell it at me."

Jack

Here here to StephanieB's comment - I came here to say that, but you put it perfectly!

Julian Welton

I agree that this episode is a little slow. Also the reveal of The Firsts army at the end is one of the few times watching this show that I couldn't suspend my disbelief and I remember thinking "There's no way Buffy can afford the extras or CGI for that army to ever actually be a threat" lol.

Brian Dworak

I usually refer to these as bridge episodes or transitional episodes. Less action and more exposition. My favorite part of the episode was the shadow caster play at the house right after Buffy's rather ruthless lecture. I've seen these before in shows and films, but this one was unique in that the shadows came to life in a way. Speaking of that Buffy the Mood Slayer scene, I was surprised she also included Willow, Xander, and Anya in her scolding. I understand that she has a LOT on her shoulders, but these are your friends. Willow is your best friend and is also an incredibly powerful witch and Xander, well Xander can carry heavy stuff. Anya is cute and hilarious and has her powers back now too (right?). I forget a lot of stuff from the show since it's been so long since I last watched it - I bought all the season box sets on DVD in the early 2000s - and when the shadow dude whispered to Buffy, I first thought he was telling her of her death. Part of the reason I forgot could be that the end shot of the demon army looked pretty cheesy and on a tight budget, as Julian mentioned, and I didn't remember it at all. The one good thing about this and all the other series' reactions ending is that we can rewatch them all forever (hopefully). Regarding the audio, based on my normal settings it was 2-3 times louder. No big deal, a simple slide of the volume bar. Thanks Dak!

Merkavar

odd odd odd, was about to watch this episode but then realised I havent watched the previous 2?

Pauline Robertson

Anya's powers were taken away in "Selfless". So, all she has is her sarcasm lol she gets so bitter about Buffy and Spike, when they were the ones who saved her from dhoffryn's men. Her whining is getting as bad as the potentials😄

Bart Aansorgh

It really is a slower episode in a way. It does move the plot along in a way. Or rather, it gives us information we're gonna need in upcomming episodes. This is something BTVS does regularly before ramping up. In previous season aswell. Buffy was hard on everyone, probably a bit too hard, but understandable with all the stress shes under. Then there's the shadow men. Yes they offered her power, but at what cost. As you said it wasn't explained, and it seemed more like a way to control than to empower. Again something BTVS brings up on more occasions. I think its the right choice. Even if you see how many demons she was shown. But even if you have more power, your still 1v1000. Regarding the age difference between Willow and Kenedy is only 3 years or something not that much. Kenedy maybe acted immature, but she's also said she was used to getting her way and was a bit of a brat. Her own words. I think this was the first moment the power and costs of magic actually became real to her. Before she was told about it, but as she said it always seemed a bit more like a fairy tale. Whether they get over it is one thing, but as Kenedy said, Willow told her all about it. Now she just needs to figure out if she can deal with it. Finale is getting closer and im excited. As always, lookin forward to the next one :)

Corey

I agree. Even though I like season 7 as a whole. I tend to always skip like episodes 8 through this one haha. From here on out I think you'll be happy :)

Brian Dworak

Ah! That's right! Thanks Pauline! I watch all of Dak's current reactions, but I'm also rewatching older uploads too so I have a lot of storylines going in my head. 😵‍💫

StephanieB

This episode is titled "Get It Done"- but what is "It", exactly? One interpretation is simply getting Buffy back from the Shadow Men realm. On another level, I think it's referring to every one tapping into their own unique source of strength and power, and also facing their personal fears in the process. Buffy is scared and overwhelmed and angry, but when facing the Shadow Men she realizes that her true source of power lies within herself and trusting her gut. Ever since Spike got his soul, he has been afraid to engage the violent fighter that lies within him but now understands he needs to embrace that side of him to be the warrior he needs to be in this battle. Likewise, Willow has been hesitant to tap into her very powerful wiccan energy but when faced with having to save Buffy and bring her back, she digs deep to overcome this fear and comes out stronger for it. Even though Anya is no longer an 1140-year-old demon, she still posesses quite a. bit of magical power and knowledge and she taps into these strengths as well (and yes, Willow also taps into this strength). Finally, special shout-out to Dawn, who has none of these supernatural powers but has the brains to translate ancient Sumerian and the people skills to get "frenemies" Anya and Willow to work together!

Why can't I watch episode 16 "Storyteller?" It just redirects me to episode 15.

DakaraJayne

That’s strange. I’ll look into it. Have you tried to go through my website? Link at the top of any of the latest videos

Bastion33

Yup. Still takes me to episode 15. Weird

Bastion33

Thank you so much. It's working now.

Macca Fan

@Pauline Robertson The reason for the Anya complaning at Spike scene was to point out the fact that Spike chose to run rather then kill Dhoffryns hit man. Buffy brings this point up later as well. He isn't into the violence since getting his soul back.
