Buffy - Some Assembly Required S2 E2 - Full Reaction
It seems (so far though it's early days!) that Season 2 might follow along with the storyline/monster of the week alternate episodes. Choosing between both types of episodes is hard for me as I enjoy them both, especially in the case of Buffy!
I enjoyed this one and have no idea if it's viewed as another "Teacher's Pet" or not, but I found the story to be interesting and different.
What I loved is that we get more conversations around Buffy's behaviour in the last epsiode, so top marks for not just forgetting about it and moving on! LOVED that!

Nice to see you warming up to "the Calendar woman" :-D Buffy's spin on the "bride of Frankenstein" idea. It's not bad at all, but I don't feel it adds much to the classic story. I do particularly like Giles this episode, he has some very fun and endearing moments.
I have learnt I must let Giles fly free 🤣 I will look on in envy and she better treat him right 😤 I liked this one, but it's not a favourite of mine. It did have some great moments though!
I have never really liked this episode, it's one of the ones which I usually skip if I am watching the series alone. However, this time round, I did actually watch it because I wanted to see your reaction to it, and I actually found it more enjoyable than I usually do. :) And I too like how the series doesn't just forget things that happen in episodes ones the episode is over. :)
Awww yay! Thank you, Michael, for enjoying this one with me! This one wasn't "great" but had great moments, for sure! I really loved how they portrayed Daryl as I wasn't expecting it to be such a deep ending. It really wasn't even his choice and yet though most of it, he was made out to be the bad guy 😓
I like at the beginning when you were wondering if maybe Chris would be a good match for Willow, then 5 seconds later... hm, maybe not. Ha. Good observation skills on Angel's shoes. And yes we're still very early in season 2, but still a ways to go. Also you are correct that the events of episodes are not forgotten when they move onto the next. Loving your reactions so far. Looking forward to more.
To see prior events not being "forgotten" about has elevated Buffy SO MUCH more in my eyes! I really wanted to hear more about her dance, and my wish was granted!!
