I think it's the most wonderful thing Buffy's mom ever did for her.

I think Tucker looks like he could have been Jonathan's brother.

Yeah, he's going to his own show. That is, when is it gonna go?

Browncoat LESSONS: Most things look bigger when you can't see 'em. OR - Warrior women are very private people - their husbands... not so much!

Brown coat lessons: If you like to stand at the door to say "boo!" You could end up being kicked through an engine!

I love how you split the pilot into two episodes. Gives it a much more in depth reaction than most reactors. Good job!

Browncoat LESSONS: In the future, there is a hat hierarchy. If you have a "very fine hat" like Badger, you can get away with backing out of deals with the crew of Serenity, but if you only have a "nice hat" like t Two-Fry you can get your head blown off! Hat hierarchy.

Anytime I hear "Wild Horses" or "I only Have Eyes For You", my heart and mind immediately go to Buffy ❤

Great reaction, thanks. Regarding the show 'Angel', you might have to try out if watching it together with 'Buffy' works for you. I tried once but got irritated by having to switch constantly between both stories and settings. It killed the flow, because even though they are both part of the same universe each does its thing pretty independently from the other. So I decided to focus on 'Buffy' and give it my full attention, and afterwards I got fully into 'Angel'. The few crossovers were easy to put together. But it really depends on your preference.

I love your editing. You just cut the spaces in between and not take out any scenes. Good job! New sub here… Will you be reacting to Angel?

So it's the mayor, of all people, to give the hardest hitting advice to Buffy and Angel as a wake-up call to point out the impractical nature of a long-term relationship with an immortal. Buffy did say some day she'll be 50 and he'll still be the same age he is now (26). In his human appearance years, that is. So they already know, but were in some kind of denial.

"Twice!" I like how Xander, once again, solves the problem right away, saying it was the lunch lady.

9:56 if u remeber how bad buffy season 1 was compaied to the following seasons, Angel will be the same, let him and so on, find there feet and from season 2 I'd say Angel was on par with buffy shows best seasons

I laughed so hard when it looked like the villain was going to have a montage of girls rejecting him but it was just one girl

I love Anya but Xander is such a hypocrite for constantly whining about Angel turning evil and then dating someone with an even higher body count

Heh... I always get a kick out of it when Mayor Wilkins shows up as the Secretary of Agriculture in The West Wing.

One of the films was Pump Up the Volume, which has no prom. One of my best friends at the time was an extra at the prom. She's in a pink dress and is in nearly every single shot. If you watch her, all continuity goes out the window. She's right in front of the stage during Jonathan's speech. Another of our friends was on set that day to visit her (then) husband, and he managed to keep her from seeing our friend. So that friend lost it when she watched the episode and saw her on TV. They announced the spin off immediately after the S2 finale. So everyone who stuck around for the news past the end credits heard that Angel, who Buffy just "killed," was getting his own show. It aired immediately after Buffy during S4&5. I worked there.

Buffy's being awarded is one of my favorite scenes from the show. Giles' "blueberry scone" comment still tickles me. I recommend watching Angel. It's simply a good show. The airing & the slayalive order are the ones that seem to work the best for most reactors. They're just smoother than the others. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

A very weird episode. The main story (hell-hounds) is rather meh. The side stories are the actual meat of the episode. My personal favorite is the introduction of Anya as the ultimate tsundere. I think that's the term. I'm not completely up on manga lingo.

After a couple viewings, I really don't think Angel goes evil (lifting the gypsy curse) with good sex. Darla ( & sometimes Dru) gave him that for a century. It's the contentment and peacefulness from being accepted & appreciated that breaks the curse - he's no longer brooding & guilty about the deeds of Angelus. JMHO- but if Angel were to spend time at a monastery, and the monks learned his full story, prayed for him & forgave him.... that might restore the peace to his soul which would break the curse & release Liam's soul from Angelus' body. That is an interesting script idea. 😂 Having Jonathan present the Protector Award was a special moment❤ Unless Uncle has a reason for wrapping up his BtVS journey next year, he should really start Angel 1.1 with Buffy 4.1. It's a better journey into the Whedon-verse. 🎬 📺

Your comment "we can't keep doing this for for more years" was pretty much on the mark. From Quora, in a reply to a question regarding the spinoff, there's this: "Joss Whedon, the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and co-creator of Angel has said that he realized during the third season of Buffy that Buffy and Angel’s story could not continue in its current form without becoming repetitive. He also realized during the episode “Amends” that David Boreanaz had the talent and screen presence to carry a TV series of his own."

Yeah, the hell hounds were not a big deal for Buffy...but had they not known in advance, if all four hell hounds had attacked while the dance was already in progress, they could have done a lot of damage before Buffy defeated them.

Some very funny comedy moments in this episode especially when Xander says to Anya when the says she hasn't got a date for Prom and he says ' it must be your sales pitch ' Xander shows he still cares for Cordelia by paying for her dress. The interaction with Joyce and Angel is very interesting and Angel knows deep down she's right. Overall the story of the episode is pretty average, only saved by Buffy's brilliant award at The Prom at the end. The Oscar's type feel to the presentation even though schmaltzy, is so well done. SMG said this was her favourite scene from the whole show. The last two episodes season finale you will love them, parts 1 and 2 of finale are brilliant!

Lots of reactors use "The Buffy/Angel watch guide" on the slayalive forums which tries to keep the cross-show stuff in order while at the same time keeping really close storylines together in the watch order. Or you could just go with airing order. I'm not even sure if you are going to do Angel (a really great show, I mean it's Joss, but a totally different vibe).

I didn't see it in the edit, but I'm pretty sure that Angel was gonna push it off but Buffy forced the issue in this episode, forcing him to talk about it.

The Mayor tore the demon spider off his face and flung it aside. Faith definitely wanted to get her knife back.

Buffy saying the Mayor doesn't know what a lasting relationship is... Gurl, the Mayor just TOLD you he married his wife in '03 - 1903 - and stayed with her until she died of old age, even though she was senile and cursing him for his youth! That's some serious commitment, pretty sure he loved her, but even if he didn't that was still a lasting relationship!

They aren’t siblings they are all cousins

I still get teared up when Buffy gets the class protector award.

Xander paid for the rest of the dress, while knowing she would not be with him at the prom, and being poor himself. He might not be her boyfriend anymore, but he cares.

❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

Yeah, Angel spinoff starts in parallel with season 4 of Buffy. There are multiple guides, in which order they should be watched; there is one specifically designed for reactors. I think you can google it. That said, you're not required to follow that guide, or any one else, or even watch both shows. If you choose to watch Buffy, but ignore Angel, you won't miss much. Sometimes you might understand the events better, but it's also pretty easy to just assume “oh, it must've happened in the other show”, and move on.

Yes, it was well known at the time that David Boreanaz was being given his own spinoff that fall. As far as the Mayor, he absolutely was human. He said he sold his soul to a demon at some point. In exchange, he founded Sunnydale on the Hellmouth for demons and vampires. He also needed to pay periodic tributes to at least one demon.

Buffy prending to be a "swoony little schoolgirl," while upset at the concept of it, only proves she is one. She was fifteen years old when Angel stalks her, sixteen when she started dating him and dumped him for good reason only to get back together with him before never solving any of the problems she dumped him over, and is surprised Angel is dumping her now that he sees the relationships problems and not as in denial as she is. At the age Buffy is (seventeen), she doesn't understand the real concept of love, but assumes she is, like many other teenagers. Angel, (with Joyce's help [and oddly The Mayor, as well] and when finding the Buffy&AngelForever doodle) realized them separating is a necessaty. Underneath Buffy knows this and says so to Willow, but her actions for two and a half years shows that despite her acknowledgement of love, it isn't anything more than a teenager who doesn't truly understand it, and is forcing denial upon herself. She still is only a "swoony little schoolgirl" when it comes to romance, and never would have permanantly dumped Angel without trying to get back together with him; as seen from _Lovers Walk_ to _Amends_ (or at latest, the _Enemies_ episode). All characters tryng to spare Buffy's feelings only helped create the situation in the sewers. Joyce and The Mayor were the two who came closest to doing what was right, but The Mayor was all about throwing it in their faces (even though he was saying what all Buffy's friends should have been doing), and Joyce should have said something many times and sooner. To be fair, Angel was intending to wait on dumping Buffy, but she pushed for it to happen right then and therwe in the sewer. I don't just roll my eyes at Tucker being turned down for The Prom. I see it as his breaking point of many years of teasing and student on student (and perhaps even teacher on student) abuse. Asking a popular girl out when you live in a run down home would just be his last straw. In high school where you live is just as much a key factor for bullying as being a geek or nerd and he has that working against him, also. Him getting rejected probably was just the breaking point to years of bullying coming at him. It definitely doesn't gives him the excuse of sending Hell Hounds to the Prom, but it gives more insight into Tucker's character through very little visuals and dialogue. In real life he'd be someone like Eric Harris (Columbine shooter). "Are we all catching up now" is one of my favorite Cordelia lines. It shows Cordelia isn't the dumb popular girl the group still makes her out to be. As a Stephen King fan, I remember thinking Buffy's award was going to be a horrible prank the school at large does to her. The way it was filmed was reminiscent of _Carrie._

Anyone tell you that the guy who played Tucker, the hell hound trainer, was the voice of Aladdin, Brad Kane? OH and the Buffy aware chokes me up EVERY TIME.

❤🧡💛💚💙💜

"Some weird ear thing." : ) hahahaha. i rewatch buffy ever few years and I always have to rewind this part lol 23:35 Probably said below but Willow interrogated Jonathan in GO FISH when Jonathan peed in the pool to get back at the swim team. So, I have this list of movies I am watching that I've never seen. The next one on my list is The Butler. I had no idea until recently that Danny Strong (Jonathan) wrote the screenplay for it, among other things.

Mayor spitting facts!

Glad your still around!

Uh, man, Faith’s regret is that she had to leave her prized possession in the room, her knife…Willow made a choice, Buffy made a choice, Oz made a choice, Cordelia has made a choice...

I think S3 is definitely one of the best seasons from the whole show. The arc of the show building up to Graduation Day is brilliantly handled. The part where they try to break in to steal The Box Of Gavrok is obviously a parody/homage to The Mission Impossible movie and adds some comedic relief to the episode. Willow is now really gaining real power, and this is great foreshadowing here. It was interesting to see Oz who is normally calm and collected in human form absolutely flip when Wesley was saying there should be no swap. Faith leaving the knife behind also very symbolic for the future. Graduation Day is a brilliant finale to come. Possibly the stand out moment is The Mayor speaking truth to Angel about how he will never age and Buffy will, and deep down Angel knows he is right.

My favorite Oz moment.

Well, I'd say you're very seriously underestimating this series.

Mr. Pointy is a name that Kendra gave to her lucky stake. She gave it to Buffy and never had a chance to get it back.

The Mayor speaking the truths that every character knows, but are either in denial about or just unwilling to talk to Buffy and Angel about for one reason or another (and still doesn't get into every issue with the relationship).

"Why couldn't you be dealing drugs like normal people?" 😂

Bread crusts ….that’s deep. Lol

Great reaction! That ending was such a shock when I watched it!!! It's so fun to watch you predict what's going to happen😅 this season is so good!!! Can't wait for the next episode

10:29... They probably wouldn't 🤷‍♀️ but Giles knows Xander well enough to know that question would be the easiest way to shut him down 🤭

I was in high school when this episode was supposed to originally air, Oz's comment about it being "trendy" was the show being prescient because it WAS a growing concern during the era, and then Columbine landed the topic solidly on being big concern forever. The ep eventually aired around the end of summer if I recall correctly
