Buffy - Helpless S3 E12 - Full Reaction

Juliette, in denial: Maybe Buffy’s dad is still gonna come for a surprise party! “Why am I always crying?” It’s Buffy. You ask how the vampire (Zachary Kralik) had time to put up all those photos. Yeah, rather lame, though a good effect. There are a number of things in this episode that keep it from being one of the greats but I’ll give them credit for an incredibly good idea. A for the idea, B minus/C plus for execution. You wonder whether Buffy can forgive Giles easily. I think that last scene, and Quentin’s pronouncement about why Giles is fired is pretty much all that is needed. But there is one reactor who thinks that Buffy stealing Giles’s jelly donut in the next episode is her way of taking revenge on him. I find that hilarious and a good way of working it out in the most absurd (in a good way) comedy of the series, so I’ve made it my interpretation, too.

Slayers mostly don't make it to 18. Then they have that "test" that kills off most of them that that have. The council seems to prefer their Slayer young and compliant, isolated away from friends, school, even family. As Kendra said her life was like. At 18 they are becoming their own woman.

I've heard so many good things about Baldur's Gate 3 but as someone who has no interest in DnD whatsoever I'm not sure I'd enjoy the gameplay. Maybe I'll wait until it's on sale before I take a punt on it.

Dave the Diver. Overwhelmingly Positive with 47,784 views. $20. It has a story and fun gameplay. I am also looking forward to Baldur's Gate 3. I have been playing, and wow! If you are willing, I am sure more then a few of us can get steam cards and text you the number so you don't have to share your account and potentially personal information so you can get BG3...and Dave the Diver!

Yesterday, at the age of 55, I joined the ranks of gamers. Do 3 hours always feel like only 15 minutes have passed?

The standout moment, for me, is not so much the episode itself (not that it’s bad), but the way it hits the audience. To see a strong role model cut down to what, for many, feels like their everyday lives of living in fear of what’s “in the dark” hits hard. Not an original storyline, granted, but this one just hits differently.

I'm quite excited to play Baldur's Gate 3 as well, but I kind of want to replay 1 and 2 first, so it will probably be a while before I get to it.

I really like this one. There are a lot of poignant moments: Giles' betrayal, his "father's love for the child", Buffy trying to get him to take her to the ice show, her anger at him - I just eat it all up. The bad guy is also quite scary. At times he feels more human than vampire. And I very much enjoy the watcher's council guy, Quentin Travers. The actor is very good and charismatic. One thing I don't like is Angel's description of the first time he saw Buffy. Not only was she way too young - 15, maybe less - when he first saw her, he says he "loved her" just seeing her from a distance. Yeah that's not love. To end on a positive note: I love how Cordelia immediately agrees to drive Buffy home. She may not like Buffy and her friends much but when it counts she helps without hesitation.

May I suggest Alan Wake remastered especially with Alan Wake 2 coming in a few months
