FIRST TIME WATCHING: Buffy the Vampire Slayer S1E1

Tuning in for the rewatch after the loss of Mr. Head. RIP Giles and Xander.

I'm glad you're doing this. It is maybe my favorite show, ever. There are good reasons this show has become a classic!

When I saw on youtube that you were beginning to react to Buffy, I could not come subscribe quick enough. Yes, the 1st season is quite dated and kind of cheesy but it does set up the characters dynamics. Season 2 introduces some fan favorite characters, and half way through the season it jumps to a whole new level.

So happy you have arrived to the Hellmouth. This will be fun... Enjoy A little fyi for someone who watched Ted Lasso: - Rupert Giles was the Rupert we Buffy fans associated Anthony Stewart Head with and loved him for. So, it was something to get used to when he showed up in Ted Lasso playing the villainous Rupert Mannion...'Why did they have to name him Rupert????'

I love this! I hope you can release 2-3 episodes per week.

LETS GOOOOO

Seems like the writers think girls only talk about clothes 😆

warning in advance as campy as the show is have tissues at the ready just incase, especially in later seasons. One episode in season 5 actually makes me cry just thinking about it too long. Those who've seen the show know the episodes im talking about.

You're definitely going into this series with the right attitude. Buffy is very campy especially in the early seasons.

I was 14 when this series started and watched it when it aired. I can guarantee, though, that we most definitely would have said “Morbid much?” This is going to be fun.

I watched this as it aired and it was my favorite television show at the time. It'll be fun to rewatch like this

This actually aired as a single 2 hour episode on a single night so the first two episodes are really one episode. Also, the name "Buffy" was picked because Joss Whedon thought it was the silliest girl name he could come up with and wanted a name that would contrast with the character's level of importance in the story.

This is going to be fun! Thanks for starting this series.

The Slayer basically has superpowers - she’s super strong, faster, more agile and has very vague minor prophetic powers (mostly dream) The series is a loose continuation of the 1992 Buffy movie starring Kristy Swanson. That’s where you see her first become the Slayer and at the end, spoilers, she burns down the school gym lol

NOT NATALIE BEING EXPOSED TO BOVRIL FOR THE FIRST TIME

Believe it or not as great as Buffy is the Spin off series is even better but that doesn't get set up until after season 3. im beyond pissed the sequel series was scraped

season 1 was a midseason replacement for another show so its the shortest season at 12 epsiodes and some of the weakest episodes of the whole show are in this season but after it finds its feet towards the end of this season going into season 2 onwards its some of the best tv ive ever seen.

Another thing I love about Buffy is that she’s soooo powerful and badass without sacrificing any of her femininity. Sure we’ve had Sarah Connor and the like with the vests and muscles and stone face expression (which I love) but something about Buffy ripping a door off its hinges and then toddling inside like she’s worried she’s gonna step in some gum is just peak to me 🫶🏼

The casting, the effects, the THEME SONG?? All perfect 10s across the board! This is almost as big and when she watched lord of the rings or Star Wars like this is GENERATIONALLL (“once in a generation” you might say) I’m so excited 😭 I was also a young 90s babe who watched this with my mum and sister growing up 🥹 and rewatched many a time since And only season 1 is dated thank you 😅 still peak tho Like this is a pilot for the history books. Sarah Michelle Gellar and Anthony Stewart Head work so well off each other, their first scene in the library great Hearing the names Buffy and Angel on this channel oof 😭 I’ve been waiting so long (Okay maybe not ALL the effects 😅)

it was the 90's there was no one assigned to help students

If you can provide a bit of time to resync after each of the commercial break splice points, that would be handy for helping to stay in sync with versions from other sources.

Season 1...is almost hard to watch, it's so 1997. But, holy crap, I love this stupid show. And it just gets better. I'm here for the ride. Good shit.

I'm taking bets whether this leads to watching Angel, too.

wait, i just realized, how come youre not watching season 2 of daredevil born again?

This show is such a fun time and makes me so nostalgic for the late 90s

There are connections for this show back to the 1992 Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie, including the fire at the previous school.

Yay. Finally

"You'd think they'd close the school if they had found a body..." If they'd do that Sunnydale High would be lucky to get 12 days of school a year...😆 The series also sort of recognizes the movie as canon, so that's why we don't get the whole becoming the slayer part her. Which I'd say was smart as it was such a comon thing in the 90s for series based on films just to rehash the film in the pilot episode...

I hope you are watching the DVD's as the Disney/Hulu versions contain edits and will not sync well with the full/original versions

Awesome... I will have to say, in the first season, there are a few big clunkers... but stay with it, it does get very good.

Looking forward to this. This show just grows in quality each season.

What is the source, streaming service, DvDs?

Yay. We are finally entering the Hellmouth with Nat. Been looking forward to it 😊 Damn, that was fun Nat. Can't wait for the next episode 😊
