Buffy The Vampire Slayer - S02E21|♡Uncut Reaction &Review ♡

What you said about Xander's reasoning for wanting to kill Angel instead of getting back his soul, I disagree partially. Yes, he is jealous of Angel and that tinges everything in the first couple of seasons on his reactions to anything to do with him, but he also IMO has the strongest sense of justice out of all of the Scooby's and is the least swayed by emotion. So, when he says he believes Angel should pay for his crimes I believe he would hold that opinion even without the jealousy.

Awesome reaction SoFie .

I love how observant you are. You even picked up on the "paperweight" joke which took me like second or the third rewatch of the episode! Awesome reactions. Can't wait for the finale.

I can't wait for the finale today <3

You’re one of the few reactors that have noticed the callback to the shopkeeper’s comments about selling the orbs as paperweights. I really enjoy your commentary. Very thoughtful and insightful.

All these reactions so close together are awesome, especially for these particular Buffy episodes :). I love this episode (and the second part - I tend to think of them as one long episode together), and your reaction was great :). The voiceover at the end was Whistler, the guy who found Angel in Manhattan and showed him Buffy. In the past, when watching this episode, I've thought the beginning voiceover was Angel, but actually, watching it again this time, it sounded like Whistler at the beginning too. I find it interesting that a lot of reactors recently have commented that Angel was stalking Buffy before they met, but he literally just arrived in LA, saw her called, and then left again a few hours later. That was it. He saw her for just long enough to be able to emphasise with her struggles and realise he wanted to help her, and then didn't see her again until she moved to Sunnydale several months later. Essentially, Whistler showed him just enough of what he needed to see so he could make a decision about whether to become someone or not.

Thanks for puttin in the extra effort before taking your break. It doesn't go unnoticed.
