Buffy 6x 1 & 2 Bargaining - Early Access & Full

I'm a bit behind on your reactions lol, starting to catch up. When you mentioned everyone's nightmare, it made me remember way back in season one in the episode where nightmares were coming true, that Buffy's was being buried alive; she had to dig herself out of the grave, the only difference then was that she was a vampire. I only just realised that haha

You liked the bambi getting killed scene? Gotta say, I did not expect that from you :-P The thing that snaps Buffy out of it, is Dawn. Dawn being in danger. I love that.

If you rewatch the scene at Buffy's grave, just as the urn is broken and Willow collapses, you can see a shaft of white light go down into Buffy's grave. That's Buffy's essence, and indicates that the spell worked at the very last second. It's a blink and you'll miss it kind of moment.

Welcome to my absolute favourite season. I was able to sync a copy from Disney Plus in Australia so that was okay, but I didn't know how edited the HD versions were (as a general rule I avoid the HD copies like the plague). It would make sense though as the DVD and Bluray releases also vary in terms of edits and even frame rate speeds. It makes it next to impossible to sync unless everyone is watching the exact same copy. Maybe something to mention/remind people of next episode.

You were watching an edited version. It made keeping up a bit challenging. I could DM a link to an unedited version if you want to see the differences.

Fifteen minutes into the episode I had to give up. Your Hulu version has removed so many scenes that just when I would get back in sync yours would skip some more stuff. It's impossible to enjoy it this way. I hope the rest of the season isn't like this.

It's so funny you are in such denial about Giles leaving that your mind tricked you about the opening credits. It doesn't say And special gest Anthony Stewart Head. It says And Alyson Hannigan lol. Watch it again 😂😂. It did name him for part 1 though.

Good to see you have a firm foothold on Season 6. Regardless of how you will feel about this season, as you journey through it, you will have a lot (and I mean a lot) to react to. By the way, do you have Knock-Knock jokes in Australia? You seemed to react to the joke, but I wasn't sure due to the syncing issues. The better ones are usually a bit shorter than the one in the opening scene in the graveyard.

Unfortunately, as Michael mentioned, the Hulu/streaming version has cut some parts out. Nothing relevant to the plot though, but if you rewatch the episode on the DVD's (I think you mentioned before that you have them, but you just react using the streaming version), see if you can spot which parts were cut just for fun. :P I watched the reaction using my DVD's, and there were some syncing issues due to that, but it's not a big deal. I knew that going in, and it's never a problem to re-sync. Also, I totally forgot that streaming splits the premiere up into two episodes, but on the DVD it's just one long episode (no credit break or split in between). I was really excited to see your reaction to this because it's my favorite season opener out of all the seasons. I've also already mentioned that season 6 is my second favorite season (after season 2), so I'm really looking forward to the reactions to come.

I wonder if the other residents of Sunnydale wondered why there was a giant tower there? lol

Yippee! My favorite season is here. I can't wait to hear what you think of it!

I forgot to put in my previous post, great reaction 😀

The version you’re watching has some slight edits ,BuffyBot and Dawn talking with one of the teachers on the school lawn and other snippets here and there, it’s no big deal but it makes syncing a little difficult, I don’t know why some places stream this version and some the other FYI this version she’s watching is on HULU here in the states if anyone has trouble syncing

A two episode day! Thanks for brightening my Monday!
