I love the "have I missed Buffy's sister all this time?" every reactor goes through LMAO
Literally no-body reacting to this show thinks they watached four seasons of it and 'missed' Dawn. What happens is a bunch of commenters come ontoa video and drop spoilery hints about memory loss - what's what your enjoying. Spoilers.
In fairness she barely had a presence in season 4, so it's not impossible to kinda forget she was there.
I’m glad Buffy’s sister is finally getting to speak. It’s about time.
Dakara is on S6 on patreon, but nice try.
Good of the writers to finally bring back Dawn. We last saw her in Season 1 Episode 13.
who's Dawn
Joyce commented that Buffy was an only child in "Faith, Hope and Trick".
Rupert commented that Buffy was an only child in "Living Conditions".
No wonder people keep overlooking Buffy's little sister!
9:00 Some vampires can make people do things. We saw Drusilla do it to Kendra and the master do it to Buffy.
Faith and Buffy straight up talk about Buffy's little sister in season 4.
You can always tell if reaction viewers have read _Dracula_ or seen a _Dracula_ movie, and you can also tell when people forget The Master and Drusilla had "gypsy" powers, as well.
What do you mean? How cluld you forget the time Dawn nearly burned down the house during Buffy's 17th birthday party.
lucky she is ahead but you did spoil the sister's name
@@ShieldVids Abd hinted at the fact she's a creation of memory adjustment. Nice one OP!
Ex-squeeze me?! What??! Summed it up perfectly. And I think I can safely say, as I'm speaking to past you, that you think you're ready but no one is ever ready for season 5. 🙂
So glad they are showcasing Buffy's sister in this episode, she's been so underused over the last 4 Seasons. She's been referenced several times... but finally she gets some decent camera time.
true. I'm glad she's finally came to live with her mom and buffy this season. sure she came to visit a few times on those not so important episodes but this is gonna be so much more interesting.
Faith mentioned her when she and Buffy were making her bed. Also, she was actually named-so to speak-by “Tara” in the last episode.
Slayers and their prophetic dreams. Your confusion is planned and expected.
You know it’s bad when even Dracula is calling you strange and off putting.
I know that on Patreon you're already almost to the end of Season 6. But still looking forward to seeing your real-time reactions to Dawn and the rest of the season as they unfold.
Oh that's really disappointing for the gaslighters! 🙁
Oh, good, all the people leaving spoilery comments about Dawn and stuff that alluded to her in previous episodes don't get the chance to ruin this part of the show for her.
@@michaelstanley5575 made up word? there are already words like flamers and spoliers, much shorter and better words
@@Zso-VIII Don't worry -they made a faur stab at this on Patreon anyway
@@Belnick6666 "Gaslighters" is referring to the commenters that pretend Dawn was in the show all along, which can cause the reactor to doubt their own memories (If they're even reading the comments and isn't too far ahead). from the fairly common term "Gaslighting" which refers to convincing people to doubt their own reason and sanity by perpetuating a lie. It comes from the 1944 film "gaslight" which has that behavior as part of its plot. It has nothing to do with Flaming or Spoiling, which are both entirely different things.
I watched this when it was first aired. I've seen it near a dozen times since and even here in a reaction I still get that twinge in my heart when Giles confesses to Willow he's going back to England. This show just wouldn't have been the same without him.
I know your in season 7 so it's OK to say the gasslighting that occurred was one of the most iconic moments in tv and watching new viewers reaction is always the most fun part of the show 😂. Also thank you for not doing the character bashing I see on a lot of new viewers videos. That makes it so fun to watch you ❤
Faith talks about the sister in Season 3 and 4, and Tara calls Dawn by name in the season 4 finale.
Riley will never know, reminds me of that Scotty doesn't know song, for obvious reasons
My favorite season, though I was a bit worried when I first saw this back in the day! That is, I WAS worried until I saw the last 15 seconds of the episode.
10:51 "I was snacking - eating this cup of noodles - the dessert fork I was using slipped and I accidentally poked myself trying to keep it from dropping onto the carpet. I mean, who wants noodle sauce stains on the carpet, Am I right?"
“You think you know… what you are… what’s to come. You haven’t even begun.” I was expecting some kind of reaction to that line but I guess unless you’ve rewatched and overanalysed Restless 100 times like me, it doesn’t really register LOL!
Yay! You just started the best season of Buffy ever!!! 👍(I know you are actually on S6 now, I am speaking to Past Jayne). You are such a great reactor - I can’t wait to take this journey with you! ❤️
From the simple premise that Dracula comes to Sunnydale, they introduce and expand Slayer lore from a completely new POV, bounce all the characters through various Dracula tropes to hilarious effect, finally bring Dawn back from her vacation with dad, and acknowledge that summoning Sineya has had consequences...some of them ominous. Plus, Giles in the chick pit.
Riley is fine as a character, there's just zero chemistry between Blucas and SMG.
Faiths dreams when she was in her coma. Remember they mentioned a little sister in them. Needed to prepare for "her arrival".......
S5 of BTVS was outstanding leading towards a stunning Season Finale. We start off with a 'tongue in cheek' stand alone episode with Buffy V Dracula. Some great comedy moments again with Xander getting all the best lines in his homage to 'Renfield' as a 'spider eating man bitch'. Spike is brilliantly unimpressed by Dracula, and of course we get introduced to Dawn in the strange ending. In the dream sequence in S4 when Faith and Buffy are making the bed, Faith says 'little sis is coming' the foreshadowing there to Dawn's arrival as a pivotal character in the Season.
aww here comes dawn back from her trip around europe with auntie flo 😉😉😉
First!!!! I absolutely love your Buffy reactions. Also love this season. ❤ I can’t wait to watch this season with you.
Love this episode! So many great lines.
The actor who plays Dracula has actually worked with Sarah Michelle gellar in the past on the daytime show all my children
What do you mean? How can you not know who Dawn is? She's been here literally the entire time!
Dawn's amazing
Buffy has always had a sister. The 3 Summers women moved to Sunnydale in the first episode. Haven't you been paying attention?
8:15 Spike would obliterate that idiot 💯 😂 If I haven't said it before as a kid I Hated Mr college boy and has a Adult I still hate him lol so just visualize My favorite character tear him about..Ah Awesome 🤘
There was hints of little sister coming and Dawn coming in previous episodes. 🤠
I forgot about this episode. They sort of nerfed Dracula. He was made to be a sort of vampire with more supernatural traits, instead of the king of all vampires that he truly is. Netflix had (has?) a three part movie called Dracula. It's not for the faint of heart, so if you find it; be warned! Otherwise it was a good episode. The part where Buffy asked Giles to be her watcher again was moving. So buffy has a sister now? I wonder what this might portend?
"You think you know. What you are. What's to come. You haven't even begun."
Dakara (at 17:52) : Something weird is going on. Something very very strange...
Me : Is it possible that the Council ever fired you ?
This episode was a lot of fun!
In one of the dream sequences in the previous seasom, Faith did say to Buffy: "..little sister is coming."
Be back before Dawn...
@@Smido83guys ,spoilers
@@russellward4624 She is way into season 6... not to mention all we wrote already happened before this episode!
What are you talking about? Dawn's always been there.
You guys are no fun at all
You are not alone and very perceptive in the problem with Riley and Buffy, Blucas and SMG had zero chemistry on screen and we all knew it. But I still loved this premiere because they built it up and it premiered so close to Halloween, that year. Fun note: the actor who plays Dracula here also played the count in a made for TV drama on a different network around the same time. Memories!
He also starred w/SMG in All my Children as her bf.
An old thought about Drusilla. Do you think that Drusilla may have been an upcoming Slayer? She did have visions and was very strong. Angeles stopped it by turning her into a vampire.
She wasn’t a potential slayer.
She was, however, a Holy woman that was destined to become a saint. This is why she had visions from the powers that be.
you should consider the idea of doing a reaction to a re-watch of Primeval (season 4 x22) at the end of this season
Yup! This is my favorite season!
The lack of chemistry between Buffy and Riley **could** be considered intentional, considering where their relationship goes this season. That's all I'm going to say for now.
As for this episode, it's a great comedic episode. Giles vs. the Brides reminds me of Galahad in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". And as bland as Riley is, he still has one of my favorite lines: "I've been in Sunnydale for a while now, and you know what I've never noticed before? A big ol' castle."
This was insane but so brilliant at the same time.
I love this seasonal arc to pieces.
I just love the silliness of Dracula, thank god he is the big bad of the season!
Yeah, in a season with some great episodes, this still remains one of my favorites. I know a lot of Buffy fans don’t really dig it, which kind of surprises me, since there’s a lot of humor & those episodes are usually rated fairly high.
Buffy's sister, Dawn, has been my favourite char since the very first episode of Buffy
Ah the Draccy babes on Giles. Or as I like to name them, Alleybox, Lexi and Domie. Daks we all like a drink but when you start forgetting facts like Buffy's sister it's time to cut down.
Dawn has been with her dad all this time
Dawn is like the second Cushing daughter in Superman and Lois the writers rarely bring her back
Reactors rarely notice anything having to do with cheese slices in this episode.
Pity most reactors don't see how important the conversations with Dracula are. There were a lot of links with Restless... Maybe because if meanings hidden in an otherwise 'campy' episode and of course meeting the sister ...
It's nice to see you acknowledge that Buffy and Riley are okay or cute enough together, but there's just no fiery passion there. Heck, Buffy had more passion with Spike in the episode Something Blue when they were arguing and then kissing over wedding plans than she does with Riley. I watched Buffy starting back from when season 3 aired on tv, and I have watched it through about every two years since - and I've never been able to muster up any enthusiasm about their relationship. He's a nice guy and he treats her wonderfully for the most part... but as a couple they rank between an okay and a meh on the sparkage meter.
The guy I think is Buffy's true soulmate doesn't make his full debut until about the middle of season 7. He's there at the beginning of season 7, but he's being tortured by evil in the beginning - the true, unfettered guy doesn't really come out until later on in season 7.
I know you're ahead irl but now that you're here "officially" one of my absolute favourite things is going back to watch the Faith/Buffy dream in 3x22 for some very elaborate foreshadowing to Buffy's sister.
Love your reaction and this season. Dracula was fun but the real fun starts with little sister!
Posting my BUFFY REWATCH recap for ‘Buffy vs. Dracula’. May contain spoilers.
So now we’re into the season of the show where Willow really comes into her magical power. Watching this episode... this scene stood out to me - specifically when Tara was asking Willow if she found Dracula sexy. It had me wondering - what is it exactly that Willow is attracted to in Count Dracula? It can’t have anything to do with gender if she can identify and declare herself as gay and yet still have a romantic and/or sexual attraction to the male species - which I’m sure pissed the pure-bred Sapphics off that have Willow as their insert-character.
But then I thought about it for awhile and asked myself the question:
What is she attracted to in a lover/love interest/crush in general? And it hit me like a lightning bolt from out of the blue (bless my gift of claircognizance). It’s POWER! And not necessarily power like Buffy’s - (although that does play a part in her gay awakening - we’ll get to that point in later episode recaps) -, but magical and/or mystical power. It’s specifically power that is magical and/or mystical in nature that attracts Willow to a human person or a living dead person like Dracula. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with gender identity and/or expression. So the answer she gave to Tara’s question is actually true even though she just said it because she didn’t want Tara to be put out by her finding Dracula sexy. It is not Dracula’s appearance that she finds sexy. It’s his power!
Think about it also with Oz and Tara. This makes a hell of a lot of sense.
Willow actually becomes really invested in dating Oz despite *ahem because of ahem* discovering that he is a werewolf. When she realizes that he has mystical power is when she becomes a lot more invested in the relationship blossoming between them. Of course, it’s mystical power that he can’t consciously control... but nevertheless - he possesses mystical power by being a werewolf. That should have scared Willow off. It didn’t. It only made her more invested in him. It didn’t matter to her that he was a male. That wasn’t what appealed to her at all.
How does Willow introduce Tara to Buffy in ‘Who Are You?’ - What’s the first thing she says about Tara to Buffy? The very first thing she mentions about her is that she practices Wicca and is a powerful witch. That she has magical power.
*At the Bronze before she and Tara knew Buffy and Faith had swapped bodies*
WILLOW: “This is Tara. She was in my Wicca group.”
*At Giles’ house after they realized Buffy was in Faith’s body*
WILLOW: “Tara’s a really powerful witch.”
TARA: “Not really”
WILLOW: “No, really, She knew right away that you weren’t you.”
Willow is attracted to Tara’s magical power right from the get-go and attracted to her romantically because of it. It has nothing to do with her being a female at all.
Gender doesn’t matter to Willow because it is power that she is attracted to. That she is invested in, that appeals to her. Interests her. Excites her. That’s her NO. 1 type in a romantic/sexual partner. A powerful type. And here’s the thing - Power is gender neutral. Meaning anyone can have it and anyone can be it.
In conclusion - she had a hard on for Dracula for his magical and mystical power. That was what was sexy to her about him. Not the fact he was a him. Sure, it’s not the only factor that she is attracted to. But it’s probably the biggest. And so the relationships she becomes invested in with Oz and Tara are due to them possessing mystical and/or magical power. Not because of their gender. So if you ask me - if there’s any sexuality that makes the most sense for Willow ignoring how she identifies and declares herself as (gay) - Willow is pansexual. Gender doesn't matter to her as it is power that she is attracted to/invested in. Not that I think we should ignore her identified and declared sexuality. I’ve made it quite clear why we shouldn’t already. I’m just saying it makes the most sense.
I can't believe you never noticed her sister.
You mean you don’t remember little Dawn asking The Annointed One out in S1?
Don't be daft. She asked Billy, the kid with the the nightmares, out. Don't you remember?
But I can see your confusion. Billy and the Annointed One are somewhat similar.
Took me a while to get used to Dawn. When I 1st watched the Series, I hated that they added this random character, to Buffy's family.
Wait, what, Buffy has a sister???
Did i miss an episode.
That what i was thinking at the end of this episode.
I started in season 4, so I was just like "oh. Buffy has a sister."
no, because i NEED that shirt!!
If there is someone who is a Buffy/Riley shipper out there I've never met them haha
Great episode, and so many great reactions ("give up on men").
My only disappoint with this episode is that Giles didn't pull a Mel Brooks with the three sisters. "This is wrong! Wrong... Wrong me, wrong me! Wrong my brains out!" Perhaps he's too British.
Buffy has always had a sister, how have you forgotten Dawn? Don't you remember when Faith mentioned her or when Tara said to Buffy something about Dawn? I think you are just forgetting things like everyone forgets Jonathan until Superstar, or everyone forgets Harmony until she is turned into a vampire. There are characters you just ignore because they don't have significant lines.
Finally you're here. I hope you are well prepared for this season😂. It's gonna blow your mind.
I don't know what you're talking about. Buffy's sister has been there this whole time, she just wasn't in every episode.
17:20 What’s wrong? You don’t remember Buffy’s sister? She’s been there the whole time! Remember when she was afraid of the Master? Remember when Buffy had to save her from Angelus? Come on now, Dakara.
I remember how confused I was to when Dawn showed up.
Most of us had the same reaction. Like, wHaT ?? Lol
Great to see buffy's sis again.
😂😂😂
Yeah, I missed her the last couple of seasons...
@@Smido83 she was away at young ladies finishing skool
@@Bobby-LeeChanning I know, I know... but still.
@@Smido83 d.k's ahead on patreon so she wont be spoiled but there might be gen z who wernt breathing in 2001 🤔😄
Ted was a real ass to Buffy’s sister.
13:57 Restless callback! But what could it mean??
yep she has a sister ..
Great reaction all the way through.
Let the gaslighting begin
Here we go
Hey Dakara, love the content as usual...just a little constructive criticism, take it or leave it because it's SO not a big deal at all, but the music over your outro/summary is a *little* too loud. Like, 1 or 2 dB at the most, but sometimes I'm hearing that guitar over what you're trying to say there and it's a little distracting when I'm trying to hear your thoughts.
Keep up all the hard work and I can't wait to see how you do with season 5!
my bad. I did film these a good while ago now so not sure how long the outro track is gonna be a bit louder than needed. My Grimm reactions are more recent so hopefully the music is a little softer for those. thanks for feedback & hopefully it's not too distracting to watch
Little sis has been mentioned a few times before.
Riley is a good guy, he's just sort of boring as a character and now he doesn't have a life of his own. He's in the same situation as Angel was in season 3. All he has is Buffy and that's only interesting for a little bit.
All we needed was one scooby gang self dense scene
And so begins the best season of the show (for me) and a interestingly comedic on at that with Dracula himself coming to see if he can best/corrupt our fave Slayer.... (and turn Xander into a spider-eating man beyotch.... lol) A third CTU for you today....Fun start and looking forward to more, D! Keep em coming!
Season 5 is mine and many others favourite season's absolute top tier TV
Brace yourself Jayne; this season is a wild ride. Sharon will capture all the key moments and please thank her for us.
Haha key 😂
Great episode but it does tend to draw out the trolls and their predictable storm of "What?! You don't remember the sister?"
LOL love to see d.k's doughnut etiquette O.C.D getting triggered by teenagers ....wait till yours grows a bit 😆😉😆
I have a love/hate relationship with the Dawn reveal on the fandom's commentary to reactors.
I love the WTF moment. I think it's acceptable to joke about "what, you forgot about Dawn?" but then it just goes incredibly cringe with people not able to let the joke go.
My reaction (and I first watched season 5 after buying the box set without even seeing all of season 4) was "what the HELL is going on?!"
Buffy being an only child had been a rather consistent theme through the early seasons, so I was immediately sus, but I think it's fair for anyone to have a moment of "did I forget a main character" before having a think and becoming sus.
Season 5 has so much brilliance. I think it may be my second or third favourite season (S6 or S2 are in the mix for top 3)
Can't wait to see Dakara endure the rollercoaster ride to discover just who Dawn is and why she has suddenly appeared. Michelle Trachtenberg does an ABSOLUTELY fantastic job of joining an established and excellent cast to hold her own (love or loath her character... but her performances are incredible, especially for her age. Real Me proves that in spades)
I genuinely think she doesn't get enough praise.
16:59 and so say we all.
I don't want to seem rude or inpolite but i have a question for the editor (i think).
Could it be possible to eliminate the music when Dakara speaks ?
English isn't my first language and i find some difficulties to follow her speech with the music.
Normally i turn off the volume and read the subtitles (autogenerated= not precise), and put the velocity to half
but in doing so i lost all the feelings Dakara put in her analysis or the laughter, etc. It's not the same experience than listen to her voice.
Dakara is really the best reactor (i'm a long time fan from SPN).
Sorry to have bothered you.
Cheers from Italy.
The ending with Dracula kind of tanked this one for me. He's a vampire who apparently can't be killed by staking and has more powers than any other vampire ever seen. To me, that should make Dracula a much bigger threat than the Master ever was, yet they play it off like it's nothing more than a joke.
Dracula is more interested in living the good life and being a celebrity among his peers. Powerful as he is, he doesn't have a master like 'take over the world' mindset.
Thought you were going to start with Angel S2E1? :)
going to get 2 angel eps today as the order was a little off, completely my bad
@@DakaraJayne cool, no worries! Just thought maybe you were buried by strikes or something. Whew!
At last they're bringing Dawn in to play. She's been so far in the background you couldn't even see her.
17:15 Are you ok? How have you forgotten Buffy's sister all of the sudden? I mean she's a bit of a underutalized character but she's been in at least one episod of every season.
17:31 - 17:37 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Oh,you poor,sweet SUMMER(S) CHILD(pun intended!)...
I know dawn is polarizing but editing around her for 4 seasons & pretending not to know her is kinda mean
Blah blah blah Dracula was originally supposed to be Freddie prinze jr. Blah blah blah that's Sarah Michelle gellar's husband.
FAITH: [This Year's Girl] "Little sis coming. I know."
TARA: [Restless] "Be back before Dawn."
8:15 Spike has killed two slayers. He would have completly obliterated Riley if it wasnt for the chip.
& he probably would have giggled and cracked jokes the entire time
I liked and disliked season 4. some episodes where really good and having Spike, Faith and Tara gave really good episodes. but the Reilly and Adam with all the military stuff was so bad. I'm glad it's over.
Dakara, it seems you havent seen "Dracula: Dead and Loving It"
Cause this episode is somewhat of a homage to that movie.
Do you have any evidence for this claim? Did the writers say this? I've never seen them say anything of the sort.
It's an homage to Dracula, not that dumb movie.
Some youtube reactors have been watching Dracula movie from the 1930's. It's a bit odd watching a movie from so long ago.
@@paulonius42 The overall silliness of this Dracula version for example. Or...
The "turning into a Bat"
Xander being a complete tool after he got manipulated by Dracula. Even up to him eating insects the same way as his movie counterpart did.
Dracula bites Buffy without turning her and has her under his spell.
The funny sexual encounter that Giles has with the 3 wifes.
Buffy wearing the same kind of scraf that the lead actress wore in the movie to hide the bitemark...
If you dont see it, thats not on me. Btw, the movie is a brilliant comedy. Not Nielsen's best work, but still absolutely funny!
@@jameshenner5831 I think you mean a different movie. I am talking about the 1995 Leslie Nielsen comedy.
@@Smido83 Yes, I really think the "Dracula Dead and Loving It" is very, very funny, and also a total spoof of Dracula from 1930. Renfield eats bugs in both.
And we’re off! Let the gaslighting begin 😅
Too late lol. She’s already on season 6!
@@PurpleNurpleSPN shh not in the video version of d.j 😅😅
@@PurpleNurpleSPN it’s never too late for RUclips! Every reactor who’s got to this point has been set ablaze with lies and wreckless abandon and they won’t stop now! are YOU with me!!!
Shhhhhh!
I really disliked this episode when it aired. But now that I know there were 3 excellent seasons to follow this episode is just very fun.
although this season is still good, unfortunately it is, qualitatively speaking, also the beginning of the end of the series.
is it the new character's fault? she is always annoying and boring so a little bit probably yes but the greatest weight was given by some classic choices by Whedon to which a kind of "tiredness" is added in the conception of the story in general and in particular of how it is represented in the various episodes .
there will still be many good episodes, some of them even excellent, but it all goes down ...
I don't agree that is the beginning of the end if you take it to mean in a "jumped the shark" kind of way. The show is marvelous in the way it always reinvents itself and still maintains a high quality in episodic and narrative structure. IMO
Season 5 is an amazing season whose worst episode is this one. One the one hand it's, IMO the weakest opener, but at least it's front loaded so you forget about it when the season really starts.
the gaslighting is particularly un-clever and unamusing on this page of comments, which is unfortunate. all i can say in their defense is -- hurt people hurt people, and the show did gaslight them first.
