Buffy The Vampire Slayer - S06x05|♡Uncut Reaction &Review ♡
Funny thing! I started watching Angel first and when I saw there was no Bangel reunion, I checked the slayalive guide thinking that I messed up and had to watch Buffy first. Well, it turned out that I'm right but still didn't get the Bangel reunion 😭

It wasn’t too early to have the conversation with Buffy at the first of the episode. Nobody was putting pressure on her. She explained how she had missed deadlines for school and they offered her an alternative. They were trying to be helpful. On the Trio: You say they are “trying so hard to be nerds”. I assume, by that, you mean their exaggerated nerdiness. That’s what makes them so funny. “You don’t want to laugh but you end up laughing anyway”. Yep, bingo! “The fact that she’s getting tricked and toyed with by three pathetic losers and doesn’t know what to do… She went from beating a god with a hammer to this…”. Again, bingo. Three pathetic little men, as “Normal Again” will define them.
The thing about season 6 is that the "big bad" isn't really the Trio. They're actually trash. The Big Bad is, as you've seen in the past few episodes, Buffy's depression. It's subtle. It's her struggling through life after death. It's not the best season but when it hits, it hits hard
I actually enjoy the Trio. I knew guys like that in my younger days. Interestingly, the three actors really didn't understand the cultural references all that well. Yes, they were "nerds". But they were theatre nerds.
A question is will Buffy get back to who she was or will stay as someone for whom the struggle is real.
The Buffy writers are attacking the toxic part of their own fan base through The Trio. You've probably met a few of them on here.
yeah, i believe they are called ???
Warren is SUCH an incel.
I liked what you said about Buffy being in a different space in season 6 versus season 5. She's not the person she was. And then Buffy said the only person she can stand to be around is a vampire that cheats at kitten poker, It shows the the disconnect she's has with the scoobies now. Spike is that person.
I'm confused the post says Buffy but the the reaction is Fredless. ?
Yeah, bit of a false start, just keep going.
As a fellow Spuffy fan, James acted the hell out of that one look, he looked truly in love there.
Yeah, I’m not a fan of the trio either. I think the writers leaned in too hard with the nerd pop-culture references.
Much too hard. It also didn't age that well, since "nerd" culture (MCU, Video Games, fantasy, etc.) and tech companies have come to completely dominate the mainstream. "Geeks" aren't exactly the downtrodden losers these days.
It's not just you - The Trio are extremely annoying.
No Angel reaction.😭 Though stoked with all the reactions just finished Buffy one.
Evil Trio or not, this is what retail feels like!!!
Yes as Superplin points out separate networks, but not just separate but competing networks. This makes any future crossovers not impossible but very tricky.
Hi SoFie, Yeah we all felt a bit cheated on the lack of reunion…even with the shows being on separate networks at this point.
Ah yes the offscreen Bangel reunion- the subject of many fanfics.
The shows are separate networks at this point, so crossovers aren't easy to orchestrate.
Yeah, it makes sense. Unless they did a two parter across networks, whichever show got the crossover would make the other channel irritated.
Yes!!!!! 😳🥳
