Buffy - Never Kill a Boy on the First Date S1 E5 - Full Reaction
Hey guys! Thank you for your patience 💜 This one you might notice is a little different because I actually recorded the countdown timer and pressed play when recording which is GREAT! I hope that helps!
I enjoyed this one and loved the love triangle (or is it a square?) that Buffy got herself into to in this episode. The ending conversation with Giles was beautiful, too, and I loved learning more about him. He's a favourite of mine and I just feel so safe with him around!

I can't hear any dialogue? Just Jules talking but nothing else but the picture?
Sorry, yes that's right! The videos are in a watch a long style because sharing the full footage is illegal 😔 in the beginning when I was working out what to do, most viewers asked for audio off so it's what I went for.
Since you specifically talk about not googling, because you don't want any spoilers: I'm guessing that'll be about that time that some Youtube commenters will start not holding back. (They always come, sooner or later, sadly.) It'd be best to have a few people with moderator rights on Youtube, if you want to stay unspoiled. It'd also mean waiting until the spoilery comments are removed before going in to read the comments, of course. (It's a pity, because the quick interactions in comments between the creator and viewers are what make a good community good. But it's the internet, so we can't have nice things without some safeguards.) Thing is: You just can't unread those "can't wait til she sees how x does y." once you've read them...
You mean not everyone on the internet is perfectly well behaved? Well I never.
Awesome, I know what I'll be watching this evening then! Thanks Juliette.
The lore in Buffy is rather slow in coming, It does explain everything eventually. If you wanted to know a bit more about it, there is a prequel movie. It was released a few years before the series, It is very silly and not great. Kind of like the teller of the story was very high. But it could give you a bit more nonspoilery info about Buffy's life before Sunnydale if you want.
It's really not helpful for the series, though. It's more of an amusing thing to watch if you just want a little more after the series is done. (Or after a few seasons, maybe.) I would never consider it helpful to understand the series better. For that, it'd just be an unnecessary distraction at this point.
Probably one of my favourite season 1 episodes. We get to move some of the greater plot stuff along with more of the Master and his plans, the reveal/misdirect of the Anointed One at the end, just some real good stuff here. And of course all the character stuff with Buffy and her duties as the Slayer being at such odds with her trying to live a regular life. All of that stuff in particular is just done so well, Owen being fascinated by death, trying to decide which "version" of Buffy he likes better, (of which of course he picks the one she'd rather he didn't) even Giles' joke about not being able to date and slay at the same time, all bringing us back around to the central premise of the episode. The poor dear just wants nothing more than to be a normal girl and all the Slayer stuff just keeps getting in the way 🙁
Yay! Another buffy reaction. I've been laid up in bed sick for the past 2 days so definitely a treat! :D
I'm sorry to hear you've not been well 😢 let's hope you're feeling a bit better as each day passes 💜
