Buffy The Vampire Slayer - S06x21|♡Uncut Reaction &Review♡

21:20 He was trying to play confident guy because he was scared of her. He was trying to convince her he was unworried so she wouldn't try and kill him.

I watched these when it originally aired and it STILL hurts to see Tara :*( I watch another reactor who just released 6x18 today. She is SOOOOO over the moon happy about Willow and Tara together again. Then the crushing blow of the hand of whedon!!!! I think they should have killed Xander. OK, I'll shut up now :)

Sofireact my favorite moment in the episode is the fight between Buffy and Dark Willow, Dark Willow she is absolutely so badass 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😘❤️😘🤩😘😘❤️😘🤩😘❤️❤️🤩🤩❤️❤️😘😘❤️😘🤩😘❤️❤️🤩🤩❤️❤️

Excited for the finale

Yeah, it is kind of reeealllyyy hard not to watch these episodes back to back ahaha!

I knew you wouldn't be able to hold off watching the final! If only someone had thought to warn you. Ow well, missed opportunities and all that ;D

Oh, oh, oh! I forgot I wanted to mention something else real quick. I wish I could remember exactly what you said, but at some point much earlier in the show, you made some kind of comment about, what if they made one of the Scoobies a villain, or maybe you actually said Willow. Whatever the case, when you said it, I honestly planned on leaving a comment on this episode about it, because you were right, and it made me laugh at the time.

Now that I've watched the reaction, I can't wait for the next one! Whoo hoo! Your reaction to the ending with Giles showing up was beautiful. I rewatched it a bunch of times before I finally decided I had to get back to work. LMAO

Yay! Two in one day! LOL Going in...

I agree with your observation about what Willow says isn't coming from th e magic, but from her. This is all her, the magic is just her defense mechanism; to make her feel less insecure,. It always has been, as has been wanting to be the best at everything she did; and why she was never satisfied with the proficiency she achieved with witchcraft. Her admonishment at the start of season 6, telling Giles, "I'm very powerful and you shouldn't piss me off" is reminiscent of Buffy telling her she thought Malcolm wasn't who he claimed to be in "I Robot, You Jane." This is all where I didn't like the magic addiction angle, and found it very forced; because that was never what her story was about. She didn't need spells or ingredients anymore, as we saw at the start of the last episode; it's been in her this whole time for a while now. It was never controlling her or speaking for her. Emboldening her, sure, but Willow's mentality has always been "If I can do it, there's no reason I shouldn't be allowed to." We see this in the way she was a hacker at the very beginning of the series. The way she would still get access to books Giles tried to hide, even though she knew he was hiding them because he didn't think she was ready for them. It's the indignation in "Fear Itself," when she wants to perform a spell to get them out of the haunted house and Buffy says she doesn't think she's ready (because Willow had previously said she didn't think she was ready for that level of magic). It's her perspective on bringing Joyce back; which wasn't that it was morally wrong, but rather too difficult to do right, so it must not be worth trying. She never thinks what she does will go wrong, despite a track record of the times it has; each time believe that because she's adjusted for past mistakes, no new ones will occur. Her storyline more closely parallel's Warren's for the megalomania and arrogance; down to both manipulating their girlfriend's mind - only, the implications are that Willow went further than Warren did. Willow even calls Buffy "Super Bitch" like Warren did in "Seeing Red".

Willow's monologue in Rack's room while it is spinning is fantastic. One of my favorite in the series. The cutting truths she says to Buffy, her fleeting breakdown about Tara, everything. DW is a great big bad for the season. I think Willow's arc is one of the most well crafted in the show. It goes all the way back to the ensouling spell in S2. She opened the door to magic. Her need for confidence/power and her desire to escape being the mousy little nerd led her here. It's great to go back and see how slowly they worked her character to this spot.

These last three episodes are top tier Buffy imho! Giles showing up is like “uh oh daddy’s home and he’s mad” lol. So much more painful when you realize that the big bad has been a Scooby this whole time 😭

yes you have the watch the finale asap!! it's been such a heavy season especially these last few episodes... but there's a lot of relief and catharsis in the finale.

Giles's entrance was so perfect and made even better as ASH's name does not appear in the opening credits, a trick they did with Alyson Hannigan when she guested on Angel for the second season finale. This did, however, cost the producers quite a bit of money as there are rules about acting credits, but I am sure we all agree that it was worth it! Great episode and great reaction.

Single greatest entry indeed lol. I was waiting for you to jump like that at the end 😁

“Please don’t tell me Willow performing magic is going to have consequences on her.” - SoFie, 2x22 Becoming, part 2

yyyassss such a great ending! So excited for the finale!! As always, amazing reaction sofie!

Such a great reaction! I rewound your expression when Giles showed up three times in a row. I absolutely totally understand having to watch the next episode right now. As mad as I still am (gonna die mad about it, just saying) about Tara's death, I will say this is a hell of an arc. And yes, I love the twist of Willow actually being the big bad of the season - so fricking well done. On a sidenote, when they are out of the shadow of Warren's rotten influence, Andrew and Jonathan can be absolutely hilarious.

☕️☕️☕️☕️ This is the Way. We knew you’d have to watch to the end 😃👍👍

Lol Sofie we all knew there was no way you would hold off watching 22 after that ending
