Buffy - Who Are You? 4x16 - Full Reaction
I'm not sure if this is not really thew done thing (I'm guessing not...) but I've started to re-watch Buffy again from the beginning. It's been AMAZING seeing them all so young and me having a newfound appreciation for some characters, like Cordelia. It's so different watching it all again and I love it! It's incredible to see the huge difference between the first season and this season. They did such an amazing job!!
I loved this conclusion to this two-part episode. Really great moments in this one, and Buffy and Faith are just a sight to behold. I never knew I'd end up liking Faith as much as I do now after this episode... Huh.... I guess miracles do happen 🤣
I hope you have a lovely weekend 💜

The first time I watched Buffy, I must have rewatched earlier episodes 3 or 4 times before I finished it. I didn’t want it to end, so I slowed down my progress that way. (I didn’t watch it until a few years after the series had ended.) I don’t think Tara has more power than Willow, she has more knowledge. She’s been studying witchcraft all her life.
I think that stunned look Buffy had at the end when she switched back, was because Faith was feeling intense "Self Hate emotions" and Buffy felt a residual trace of it.
Faith has been let down, betrayed, or ignored by almost everyone in her life. The Mayor showed her actual affection and caring so no wonder she was responsive and loyal to him. In season 3 everyone else let her sit in that dingy motel. How do you think she was paying for that room and her food and other needs. Most likely it was crime and/or prostitution. We already know from the episode Bad Girls she won't hesitate to steal and her interactions with men leads me to believe prostitution was another means to an end for her. Her reaction to Riley saying I love you makes perfect sense if she sees sex as a transactional thing instead of a way of showing love and connection. Also the way she expects men to treat her sexually shows she is used to a darker side of sex. I hated Faith at first myself but her character arc just gets more interesting. Can't wait to see her again.
SAME!! I never liked Faith! It seemed like everyone in the comments loved her and I was the odd one out. But I love where her character is going and I cannot wait to see more of her now!
Re-watching already? Next you'll be telling us that you've been watching other people watch the show! (I've heard there's some weird people that like to do that! 😜)
Neil, what kind of weirdo do you take me for 🤣
as im kinda new here and know you love buffy and gaming have you considered emulating the two games for your channel the first one is probs safest bet as it set in highschool still wheras chaos bleeds i would wait till further on to do as it contains few spoilers
I have heard there is a Buffy game!! Also an X Files game haha! I haven't looked into either, but I reckon I'd love them!
Sarah Michelle Gellar acting as Faith is good, but IMO Eliza Dushku (Faith) acting as Buffy is truly amazing. The way she says "Ooh, drive!" when using that truck to escape, that's 100% Buffy. We get more insight in, and development of, Faith's character. She went to help those people in the church rather than run away. And when she was beating up Buffy, as you said she was hitting her own face - showing her self-hatred. It's heartbreaking really. And while all this is going on, we also get Willow introducing her friend Tara to the group, Adam stirring up trouble, and Giles freaking out about tiny, tiny babies.
I didn't rewatch any episodes until I finished the show, but I sure do love a good Buffy rewatch. Speaking of rewatches, this episode is probably my most rewatched episode (either this one or "The Prom"). What you said about Faith beating up herself makes a lot of sense considering she immediately ran away when she switched back into her body.
I love that my feelings towards Faith are changing... I really can't wait to see what happens to her from here 💜
Watching week to week it just seems like they are the same people but when you rewatch some of the first episodes you see how much they have really grown and developed.
Absolutely!! And they are so young back then 🥹🥹
Haha you started rewatching again too? ONE OF US, ONE OF US!
Not the first reactor to get to this point and have started a rewatch. This show definitely has a way of getting under your skin.
Oh thank goodness 🤣 I thought the done thing would be at least wait until the end haha. It's just that I really only have time to watch 1 Buffy and 1 Angel per week and it's NOT ENOUGH haha so I gotta go back to the beginning!
