Faith is probably one of my favorite characters that was added to Buffy.
Same, my ultimate Problematic Queen
she has never done anything wrong in her life
the opposite for me lol
I agree, but hey man, that was a spoiler. Cass don't know how long Faith is going to be in the show at this point.
Some people usually say the same thing about a character that pops up in ep 9 this season, and it's so spoilery.
I never said how long the character would stay around, I just said I liked the character.
The smile on my face when Faith appeared-
Favorite Oz line: "Time's up. Rules change."
Rupert Giles is very astute, particularly where his Slayer is concerned, and recognizes that Buffy is dealing with trauma surrounding her last battle with Angel. As a result, he wants to get Buffy to admit what she is going through (and why she ran away) so that she can go on with her life.
Buffy surprising Faith and Faith hitting her was real, thanks to blocking and how the scene was set up. So Eliza accidentally caught Sarah in the jaw, and the "bleeding internally" was an improvisation.
Kinda sad you skipped over Giles telling Willow “there is no spell”. I was hoping to hear your thoughts on Giles using that as a gentle therapeutic technique to get Buffy to open up about what happened.
That scene Angel falling on his knees and hugging Buffy always makes me emotional!
I thought you were about to acknowledge when Angel fell and landed with a glimpse of his ass crack showing😍😍😜 But yea, I like the falling on his knees bit too I guess. For different reasons ofcourse 😅
About Buffy and Angel. I'm not a big Angel fan, and I never rooted for them as a couple. But! Somehow their feelings for each other make me emotional every time there's a heartbreaking scene between these two. I don't know if it's the acting, or the good-written script, or that "first and last love" kind of scenario, but I find their love very touching.
Faith, my beloved!!!! my favorite Buffyverse character
Till this day Faith and Eliza Dushku have such a special place in my heart. One the best character arcs in the show.
"What is he?" - He's Mr Hyde from Robert Louis Stevenson's 1880's novel 'The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'
"There is no spell" is probably my favorite part of the episode. Giles helping Buffy even if she never knows it. Too bad it didn't make it into the reaction here. That and Faith saying she didn't know Watchers came so young and cute and everyone reacting. Good times.
Your stunned, slack-jawed face at Angel falling into frame at the end of "Faith, Hope & Trick" was marvelous. Buckle up! Excitement ahead! 😄
They introduce Faith pretty perfectly in this episode. You get to know a lot about her, what makes her tick, from a few moments of character (like how she eats dinner).
Angel coming back from hell and Giles always getting knocked out is bloody brilliant
@@docsavage8640 Wow that was probably the most uncalled for assumption on a person I've ever seen in a youtube comment.
@@docsavage8640 Oh doc, don't you have anything better to do than trying to be an edgy boy in the comments 🤗
The ring thing is just symbolism for Buffys heart letting go of Angel.
I thought it was established later that a symbol of pure love placed on the spot where the portal opened had the power to create a link and summon back someone lost to the portal.
@@ozfroggirl9221 The fact that it happened after she placed the ring is just a big old "F your feelings, Buffy", she is finally ready to move on and let him go, and the universe is like "SIKE! More pain". It's more symbolic and painful that she happened to put the ring there and later that evening he comes back in that spot. But the ring itself is just her ring. Not sure where you got your theory from as i cant recall anything like that in the buffy-verse
36:36 "Great. Now I'm gonna be stuck with serious thoughts all day." 🤣
Buffy: I think I'm gonna try my hand at being happy.
The Writers: I'm gonna sing the Doom Song now! Doom Doom Doom Doo- Doom Doom Doom D-Doom Doom Doom!
'Beauty and the Beasts' was the first episode of Buffy I ever saw, so I have an unreasonable amount of affection for that episode.
*YOU TOO???!!!!* 😱😃❤❤❤❤
That’s one thing I think a lot of people don’t expect when they first get into Buffy. Yes, Buffy is a monster show with the supernatural, but one thing it’s sneakily good at is showing that sometimes the real monsters are just plain humans (Pete, the coaches in Go Fish and Nightmares, the boys in Some Assembly Required, Ford in Lie to Me, Amy’s Mom in The Witch, Ted, etc).
Buffy being alone even when surrounded by her friends is a recurring theme of the show.
Remember in Anne where the bad guy said that Ricky remembered Lily long after he'd forgotten his own name. Buffy was, clearly, Angel's anchor while he was trapped in Ecathla's dimension.
“Where’s Angel? Why are we cutting to this?” 😂😂
I moved to Los Angeles the morning after Faith, Hope Trick aired. I moved into the apartment my friend moved out of. He was the pizza guy who gets eaten. He was the assistant to David Greenwalt at this time.
The band that plays The Bronze is Darling Violetta. The guitarist became one of my best friends and I absolutely love the band.
Eliza was 17.
There's only supposed to be one Slayer at a time. Having two has never happened before.
Beauty and the Beasts is not a favorite.
The Beauty was the gf and/or Buffy, possibly also Willow fir being with Oz. The beasts were the bf, Oz and Angel.
I have been infatuated with your friend's band since I first heard them on Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines. That opened entire vistas of new music for me. If you think of it, thank your friend for me.
That's pretty cool, after learning that they did the angel theme I used to listen to their music to focus while I studied in college.
Sadly, Darling Violetta broke up after a partial reunion show in 2008, though singer Cami Elen has permission to continue to use the nane if she wishes. My friend Jymm required from music and is in his jmhome state taking care of his ailing mom. Drummer Steve McManus is sn author. Bassist Atoo Attie returned to Mexico and leads a rock band there. Sadly, cellist Gerri Sutyak died in 2020. She's played with everyone. She guested on cello for the Smithereens song Blue Period, which featured guest vocals by Belinda Carlisle of The Go-Gos. They actually put Gerri in the video. She's the last thing you see. I now cry when I watch that. I wish they recorded more music, two EPs and one full length album was not enough.
If you see a live video of them playing a song called Candy Jones, if the camera guy sucks, sorry about that.
There's a live recording that my ex shot from the 2008 party (not Gerri on cello, she was in a Cleveland orchestra at the time.) It's of the Angel Theme abd Star Shoes (Love is Everything). The quality is very good for a phone video.
Poor pizza guy. Didn't deserve that end.
Was Gerri the one who played cello on the Angel theme song? If so, WOW. She was amazing.
@sherrysink3177 I'm 99% sure it was Gerri. She also was featured on Tom Petty's soundtrack for She's the One. She toured with Robert Plant. It's a little tricky finding accurate info because her mother was also Gerri Sutyak, a cellist with the Cincinnati Orchestra, but she passed when Gerri was only 5.
Yay! Welcome, Faith!
And welcome back, Angel!
'Beauty and the Beasts' is obviously inspired by the Jekyll & Hyde story so you can check that one off the classic monster list.
i don’t know the jekyll & hyde story🫣
@@officialcassreacts Set in London in the late 1800s (contemporary with Jack the Ripper). Repressed scientist Dr. Jekyll creates a serum that transforms him into Mr. Hyde so he can indulge his suppressed vices without censure. Mr. Hyde's behavior worsens and he begins to appear spontaneously (without being triggered by the serum). Dr. Jekyll fights for control.
The comic book tale of the Incredible Hulk has some parallels to this story.
There are a lot of Jekyll & Hyde movies. I think "Mary Reilly" is a really good one with a twist, telling the story from the perspective of a domestic servant.
I take the Freudian view of the 3 slayers:
Kendra = Super Ego, by the books, teacher's pet, no family or friends.
Buffy = Ego, she slays but isn't obsessed about it, attached to her friends & mother.
Faith = Id, does what she wants, doesn't go to school, no attachments.
Interesting, I've heard Giles, Willow and Xander described as the Super Ego, Ego, and Id respectively. Very interesting.
This is a really good theory. Never occured to me before, but I'm on board.
It doesn't map super well. Buffy's most defining characteristic is her altruism, which transcends her attachments. This is a very super ego thing. Meanwhile Kendra's Kendra's sense of duty is sorta super ego but her devotion to rules is very ego.
So it's not a great map
I think the ring is a tether, and placing it right where the portal was allowed it to pull him back through it.
i love how spot on you are with Faith already at the 12-13min mark
Good to have you back reacting to Buffy again, Cass! Faith is my all time favorite character on this show, so I'm glad you are finally introduced to her. Enjoy the ride.
The thing with Buffy being off and alone a lot and her frieds not quite understanding that is used throughout the series.
But look at it this way, Buffy, Kendra and Faith, all very different people, all have that same solitary attitude when crap comes down. Spike also mentions early on that he was surprised Buffy even had friends and family at all. Slayers look human, but they aren't. Slayers are built to work alone. And Willow and Xander, who are fully human, could never understand that. It's literally part of Buffy's biology to keep distance from others. And I won't say more because of spoilers, but that's definitely just something to keep in mind while watching the series.
Your unconditional love for Oz is everything! And I like that you enjoy Scott as a character, he's so funny and charming. Faith, on the other hand, is a very complex character - that's all I can say without spoiling anything.
And yes, one thing we've all learned from BTVS - sometimes humans are worse than soulless monsters.
Angel is back... I can't begin to imagine what that would be like for Buffy, who had to come to terms with the fact that she killed him! And he had a soul when she did it! Now he is back? A chance to feel redemption where none is needed? At least he was able to identify who the real danger was in this episode! And there is no way I am missing the next reaction!
You really short circuited for a moment after seeing Angel come back lol, but that was the appropriate reaction lol
3x04 is probably the very 1st"Buffy"ep I've ever watched and I still love it heaps,it made me fall in love *INSTANTLY* with Willow!❤
02:16 - 02:27 , 02:34 - 02:36 SEE????She's adorable!!😍 04:22 - 04:34 😎😆
04:52 - 05:01 See?That's why you should always call Angel _Angel_ and Angelus _Angelus!_ Buffy did send ANGEL to Hell,but since they've been keeping to calling him Angel for the entire S2 now no one finds anything weird about her saying that!X-/
06:36 , 07:04 - 07:15 *FAITH!!!!!!* 🤎 ______ 🤎 06:54 - 06:57 Scott Hope in a nutshell. 10:30 - 10:36 She's not wrong about _that..._ 12:16 - 12:18 And that's _Faith_ in a nutshell.
15:45 - 15:51 We *ALL* wanted a Slayer bestie!!!!!😭💛🤎 16:50 - 16:51 Not me spending _decades_ thinking of Faith Lehane every single time the word"faith"is pronounced,no matter the context.Speaking of which,fun fact:Alyson Hannigan played a pregnant teen when she was younger and,at the end of the movie,she named her baby Faith.^^;;;
18:16 - 18:44 You were saying?🤭🖤 18:41 - 19:01 Joss How Fucking Dare You Whedon.
22:26 - 22:34 As I said,this is the very 1st"Buffy"ep I've ever watched so I spoiled myself *A LOT* of things like the nature of Oz and Angel and kinda what happened to him at the end of S2.
23:49 - 23:50 *YES.ALWAYS.* ❤❤❤❤ 26:53 - 27:05 Well...I guess this explains why you're not the Slayer.😘 27:11 - 27:27 *I LOVE HER!!!!* ❤❤❤❤
28:06 - 28:10 Fun fact:that was an accidental real punch.😅🤕
Scott is super-cute,but,even without knowing Angel,I *IMMEDIATELY* felt the superior chemestry/bond between him&Buffy!!Sorry,Scotty...you were no match for #Bangel!💛🖤
32:10 - 32:22 I love the sudden realization.❣ 34:23 - 34:30 😎🧡
35:51 - 36:11 , 37:18 - 37:31 There are 3 Bangel scenes that I think about *any* time I think of Angel...this is 1 of them(I consider these 2 scenes like 1 single scene).🥺🖤💛
37:42 - 37:51 S3 is my favorite"Buffy"seasons...there's almos _zero_ episodes that I don't like!🤩💚
I'm not sure who the Beauty of the ep is but the Beasts are Angel,Oz _and_ Pete.Angel&Oz are beast out of control,but who _want_ to get better and don't _really_ intend to harm anyone(innocent,at least);Pete is the only 1 who has malevolent intents whether he's an"animal"or a human.😡💢It's like what Giles said: 29:11 - 29:22.
I love that you loved ep 3x04!!😍
My mother dated someone like Pete for a while. Hence my favorite scene to replay over and over is feral Angel snapping his neck
The restaurant mascot is an ode to the Big Boy fast food chains.
Love your reaction, Cass. Faith is a great character. It's worth noting that the blow that Buffy uses to 'kill' Angel would not normally be fatal to a vampire. She moves to cut his head off, then his soul is returned, then she stabs him. Grr Argh and O M G Band Candy
Jam packed great episodes. Faith has actually been in the 'opening sequence' since ep 1 this season.
How ??
@@guilainefeutchine886 The scene when when Faith and Buffy runs from Kakistos is in the opening credits.
I think Angel was hunting her by scent at first but when he got there and found her in danger, something just clicked and he knew he had to go after the dude. Or something inside him just knew he had to break free and get to her to save himself, although in that case he could have waited for her to show up again.
Man, I was happy to see this show up. Glad to have you back to Buffy, Cass. Can't wait for the rest of this season.
Your going to love this season, this is one of my favorite seasons of this show.
I’m so glad you’re loving this season so much already! It’s my favorite.
I just loveee your reactions so much! Also that candle - I didn't know it existed until this video and now I'm obsessed with it.
Yes, we've made it to Faith!! Easily my favorite character after Buffy. And Eliza is amazing! So excited for you to see this season. So much for you to experience and analyze.
As for BATB, it's a good episode but always hurts me to watch. Very triggering.
12:50 I love how quickly you understand Faith, I feel like not everyone understands her that much so soon ❤️
O love how Buffy says she doesn't believe in coincidence and then immediately after she gets the ring as a gift.
As for the ring, I think people shown that Angelus still wears the ring. So fans like to speculate what that might mean about his feelings towards Buffy. However, a less fun interpretation is that Angel/Angelus always wore the ring before ever giving one to Buffy. He said if you wear it with the heart pointing towards you, then "you belong to someone" he could have spent 100s of years wearing it the other way since he seems to have attachment to its meaning for him being Irish and the other things the ring symbolizes. Angelus also seems to have an interest in religiosity, so it could be part of his weird interest as well...
You're so going to love this season. It's universally agreed upon as the best season of Buffy.
TIL losing your memories makes you insane
People give Joyce a lot of crap but can we acknowledge how caring and supportive she is now that she knows what's going on?
Also I feel so bad for Buffy at the end. She was really trying to move on and he putting all of his issues on her. I don't hate them together but this relationship is toxic. Even when he is not evil, he's too old for her, a vampire, and she is still a child.
I'm only 13 minutes in but you are so intuitive. You just got Faith so quick with what you said about her almost wanting to 'replace' Buffy and wanting the love and security Buffy has. It's insane. I wanna talk more on how on the money you are but it might go into spoiler territory. Please remember that thought process moving forward though. Your brain amazes me.
what a weird response to a perfectly normal comment@@docsavage8640 you must have deep seated insecurity issues. work on them and stop projecting your issues on others.
I think that you will be surprised with Faith.
Good reaction and I appreciate your thoughts. I enjoy how you are trying to figure out what is going to happen. Excellent picking up on Faith so quickly. You are now getting into the excellent Season3 that is highly entertaining and sets up the rest of the series. You are now squarely in the Buffyverse and there will be very few if any just filler episodes. I suggest you remember how you felt about Willow and Buffy's friends in Episode 2 and keep your keen observations in the back of your memory. This show is unique that they have plot lines and character development over many Seasons. In the age of steaming 10 episodes this type of layering of a character just does not happen.
In response to the last two episodes, I feel like I always have to defend everyone.
I feel like we look at these scenarios through the lens of adults, forgetting these are teenagers. 16-18yo. Like most of us weren't overly dramatic, sensitive, and such at that age. Plus, going through dealing with hormones and internal changes.
I feel like everyone should be allowed to be angry and have emotions. Willow shouldn't always be just a shy, quiet girl. She needs to be allowed to be angry and express her emotions. They all should. That's part of growing up.
All in all, it can be unfair to put the lens of adult views and handling of situations on teenagers, fiction and real.
@@docsavage8640 hmm.
@@docsavage8640Classic Literature was merely the 'pop trash' media (theater/opera) of its time. Let's see if, in another fifty years or so, Buffy hasn't survived as a Classic of our time. It does have college courses dedicated to analyzing its themes and structure, after all.
And now you're introduced to my other favourite character! Faith is such a badass, but hides her squishy deep inside (I guess technically all humans do that, but still).
So early in the season to already have such drama! Can't wait for the next vid ❤
Wow, now I really want her to get to, um, Aud and "UYS" (code name). I hope (and kinda think) she's like them both.
Also, I really wanna see her theories about Nibblet- that's gonna go crazy.
Buffy seemed to lack empathy for Betty because she saw in Betty and Pete's relationship a parallel with her own and Angel's. Just like she was unable to have empathy with James from All I see Is You. This is heightened when just as Betty comforted Pete after he abused her, at the end we see Buffy comforting Angel in the same room even to really hammer it in.
I was worried about how easily you guessed at a "hell dimension where time moves differently" bit with no real basis, then I remembered that the Carlos episode just happened where they explained that concept for that dimension. As another commenter says, you hit on a lot of Faith's character just from the one episode of data.
I always figured Angel was sent back because he had his human soul which didn't belong there. He still was there plenty long though.
Looking forward to the next two episodes, both absolute bangers
It's sweet how much you like Scott. :)
If they had given Pete the last name of Jekyl, that would have been too on the nose.
I didn't see it on Patreon. Did anyone every complete the title connection for you?
Faith - Fath
Trick - Mr Trick
Hope - Scot Hope
Season three is the SH*T! I am so happy you're here.
i'm not sure how far ahead you actually are (one reactor is posting s4 right now but has finished the show on patreon, for example) but i think you're using the dvd artwork as thumbnail backgrounds per season, they get a bit spoilery later on!
Sure keeps RUclips up to date with her Patreon. The RUclips edit comes out a few days after the Patreon unedited.
Funfact 28:06 that was a real hit, by accident Eliza hit Sarah in the face.
18:20 I’m not saying it was aliens.. but it was aliens. 😎
Those pesky aliens dropping naked vamps everywhere
I figured Angel was released to emotionally torment Buffy. To stop her from moving on to something more healthy. At least, that’s what I thought when I first saw the episode.
Wow, you are actually really already super observant about Faith!
Beauty and the beasts- Buffy is projecting herself onto Debbie - she is likely blames herself for the people who died when Angel turned, who in her mind has become rapid and unsavageable. Also, I just like to point out this sort of "tough love" approach was propably more common and socially acceptable during the time this show aired. People will sometimes say that when Buffy acts this way, it's out of character, but I actually see her use this approach a number of times. Xander is another character we see this from. A lot of people like to fault Xander for this (because they assume ulterior motives) far more than anyone hold Buffy accountable for this. However, for me, there was at least one time when Buffy goes 'there", and It had a positive and profound impact on me when I watched it.
Also I had a crush on scott hope's actor when I was a kid and he played in Are you Afraid of the Dark? I think Cassie might be yhr biggest scott hope fan we've had as far as reactors too.
Mr. Trick the vampire is a funny and likeable villian
Those poor pizza delivery guys and fast food workers do NOT get paid enough for the hazards of Sunnydale. 😉😄
39:25 "Choosing to be the way that he was"....that's not exactly what happened. This is a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde situation - he didn't intend to become like that, it was a side effect. Just like Dr. Jekyll had no controll over Mr. Hyde Pete doesn't have controll over his monster side - and just like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde the evil side is getting stronger and stronger.
Doesn't change the results of course.
On a final note - the show never makes it clear if Pete was already abusive before he invented the potion or if it happened because of the potion.
Love your AC/DC top!
Also, great reaction as always!
The Jekyll & Hyde episode named after Beauty & the Beast bookended by Call of the Wild quotes 😂 Literature cluster. Anyway. I don't think this is a spoiler, but yes there are many many hell dimensions. There's many dimensions in general . I think - or assume, based on canon lore, the Episode 1 dimension was less a hell and more of just a demon dimsension. They made it a 'hell', colloquially, by dragging humans into it and torturing them by using them for slave labor.
can’t wait for you to NFR by Lana already!
Buffy is like Taylor Swift: Cute, lovely, smart, everybody loves her.
Faith is like Lana del Rey: Sexy, wild, mysterious, polarizing.
very shallow description of both characters
@@lonelyfireflyy Agreed.
Buffy was being harsh with Debbie for accepting Pete’s bad behaviour because she is feeling guilty for wanting Angel back despite everything that he did 😢.
i mean, buffy wasn't wrong tho. people were dying, and debbie wasn't going to be any help if it wasn't soon. she actually ended up part of the problem instead, sabotaging buffy's attempt to tranq pete. sad that she was a lost cause, killed by the guy she was so loyal to.
Honestly if I was on Buffy shoes I would just say I had an ex boyfriend give me that same ring and he died. No need to go deep into it to let it clear to Scot what happened. But the trauma is too fresh so I get it
Not just random fast food places. Remember the plastic faced Burger King with the obvious diet of feeding on human souls? And for that matter, how do we know Ronald doesn’t hide in storm drains with McNuggets and 🎈? I wouldn’t put it past him.
Re. Dead man's party's Willows reaction - Yes and no.
Sure, the old season 1 or 2 meek, insecure but faultless Willow would not behave like that but this is now a Willow that is now becoming more secure in herself and her abilities and needs. Expect a few more changes and mistakes and missteps by Willow going forward.
I'm so excited for you! I feel like you are picking up major story arcs 👀👀👀 Impressive!
And for now, I cannot wait until you get to episode 10. 👀👀👀👀
now i want burgers too!
On your miniature, it's written 3x3 two times btw 😅
Other than that I love your réactions and can't wait to see you go ahead in seasons 🙏🙏
Buffy season 3 doesn't have a single bad or 'eh' episode.
waiting for Lana’s NFR reaction 👀
Waaaaay overthinking the ring 😂
Maybe, maybe not. The timing was a huge coincidence if you assume placing the ring at the place she stabbed Angel is unrelated to his return. Even if not actually magical, the symbolism is there, and someone or something may have decided to release him based on that action.
Girl I’m waiting for Norman fucking Rockwell reaction so baddddddd😢😢😢
Angel is werewolf actually 😮
Question for Willow: What makes her think Buffy is "ready" to date now anymore than she was last year? She clearly isn't in my opinion. Especially at the beginning of 3x03. She is in a healthier place thanks to one of the best single episode guest stars in the Buffyverse (RIP Mr. Platt) and Giles getting her to open up, but even at the end of 3x04 she has a ways to go before she's ready. I think Willow pushes too much on this. I'm still convinced she told the guest star at the beginning of _I Only Have Eyes For You_ to ask Buffy out.
Willow is in love, in a happy relationship. There are people (I expect we've all known a few) who, when they find themselves in that happy state, automatically assume everybody wants to and should be in the same situation. It's a sweet and generous attitude, even when it becomes pushy and intrusive. 😏
@@DanielOrme SPOILERS THROUGH THE WHOLE SERIES
Even if it's just me, I disagree that Willow setting up Buffy either against her will or without her consent, and after a bad relationship is "sweet and generous." Buffy even has to say to Willow, a season later, by stating, "I'm timed of meeting someone's to her, "Maybe you'll meet someone." I find it only "pushy and intrusive," unless a person has been given consent, which Buffy hasn't. Unfortunately, that's how I see Willow in these moments, but luckily they are usually small moments in the larger picture. I get her intent, but I see no good outcome in Buffy's situation until she works out certain issues she has and then gives Willow permission. I also don't think the _everyone should be happy because I am_ attitude is a healthy way of looking at love, in general. I agree with why you say Willow's doing it, but nothing from S2-S3 has changed enough for Willow to think setting Buffy up is a good idea other than Willow herself being in a relationship. Assuming that means Buffy needs one only makes me sad at and upset with Willow.
@@Buffy8FanI think, looking back, this is another instance of Willow making decisions based on her Willow-centric nature. She wants Buffy to be in a relationship so she doesn't feel guilty about being happy. "How does this affect me" seems to be the subconscious motivation for a lot of her choices...
Time's up, rules change.
Beauty was Buffy.
The Beasts: Hyde, Werewolf, Vampire
Hmm, I think Angelus was still wearing that ring.
He wore it with the heart pointing away to show he wasn't attached to anyone. (You can wear one of those rings if you're looking for a date.)
As much as I love season 3, there's one thing I hate about it and it starts next episode.
FINALLY
Ahahahaha, fantastic reaction. As usual, your thoughts and theories about what you've seen here make me SO excited to see what you think of what's to come, particularly as far as Faith is concerned. You want to see a deeper dive into the idea of a second slayer... They definitely give you that in season 3.
I'm sorry you had to die in this episode, Mr Platt - you were one of my favourite one-episode characters.
First of all, Willow...how do YOU know about that "thing with your mouth"?
I really don't like Buffy feeling like she couldn't tell anyone about Angel's return because it felt contrived for the angst - Joss Whedon loves romantic angst. The only person I think she'd not go to is Xander.
WHERES THE NFR REACTION
Naked David Boreanaz is a little fan service.
Nice shirt!
