Yeah, Cordelia's phone is included as a characterization touch that's very much lost now. In 1997, for a high school student to be carrying around a cell phone in her purse marked her indelibly as a spoiled rich girl...and also likely as what we'd now call a "Karen." Cell phones back then were associated with unpleasant personalities. (A popular joke making the rounds in the early to mid-90s went like this: "Q: What's the difference between a cell phone and a tampon? A: Cell phones are for assholes.") It's a particularly interesting touch IMO because in 1997, we were just on the brink of that all changing. In only a couple of years, no one would be associating cell phones with unpleasant people anymore, and not long after that, they wouldn't even mark a character as particularly wealthy. (The US lagged behind the UK in this regard: in the year 2000 I visited the UK from the US and remember being utterly shocked at how many people -- even working class people -- were carrying around mobile phones. It took another few years for them to become as widespread on this side of the Atlantic.)
Didjaknowthat Cordelia, 16 year old high school sophmore, was portrayed Charisma Carpenter, who was 27 when she got the part and 28 when they filmd it?
It’s funny how quickly things changed because (class of ‘99) I went from on,y the rich kids in school having a cellphone in my sophomore year to pretty much everyone having a cellphone by the end of my junior year

For a show that’s over 20 years old it’s still relevant today, a lot of people have jumped on the Buffy bandwagon I’m glad you’ve decided to do the same I can’t wait to see what you think of the greatest show on TV. Buffy first. SPN second. Don’t watch it in HD (never HD) cropping, lighting, editing errors that make it unwatchable. Welcome to the Hellmouth indeed 😁
@@PurpleNurpleSPN Yeah, but also necessary. I wanted to rewatch the show and all the streaming services in germany only had the remaster. I mean, despite the negative reviews over the years, Disney+ still only has the remaster. All they would have to do, was apply a decent deinterlacer to the SD version. Doesn't cost a thing and the fans don't mind the black bars on the sides.
i mean, if you want to be technical: in terms of revolutionary supernatural/sci-fi that mixed procedural and serialized formulas, it's x-files first, buffy second, spn third. i honestly love looking at the history of media like that, the progression
The "creepy too-close" vibe between Giles and Buffy is due to watching the remastered version - the original 4:3 format needed folks to be closer to fit in frame, and didn't look as creepy. Yep, they still have junk... ;)
On first sight of Willow Dakara - "Oh I love her" All of us - "Yes, we do too". Second sight of Willow Dakara - "Aw she's my favourite" All of us - "Yep, ours too".
Best show of all time, it gets much better as each season goes (but season 1 is a pretty dang good start for a new show on a no-named network at the time with a low budget). Your subscribers are gonna skyrocket. Buffy fans are super loyal.
"lurking over her shoulder" the show was shot in 4:3, which requires actors to stand close together to fit in frame. the widescreen conversion has numerous issues, of which this is only one. if you can find the 4:3, that's preferred.
This was the ultimate supernatural teen/young adult drama. This show came out when I was a kid and it was so relatable! One of the best shows of all time. Can't wait to see the reactions!
Just found your once more with feeling reaction and subscribed so im heading back to the beginning to binge all your previous seasons for Buffy and Angel 🤩
A top 3 favorite show of all-time for me. The characters are all sooooo great! You'll definitely want to be part of the "scooby gang" in no time. Willows my fav!!! Edit: I actually share a birthday with Joss Whedon.(June 23rd)
I went to my aunts house for daycare after school in the late 90's growing up. This was her favorite show and we watched it all the time together. Super excited to watch you react to it!!!
In case nobody's mentioned it, this was the first half of a two-part premiere. I believe they aired the first two episodes back-to-back, and it's one continuous story. This show sometimes gave its two-parters two different titles instead of calling them "part 1" and "part 2". I guess to make it more of a surprise when they dropped a "to be continued" cliffhanger. The Harvest is part 2.
Buffy walked so Supernatural could run. Their very much in the same vein and it's fantastic, absolutely one of my favorites. This is the show that launched my love of "Supernatural" tv.
Ahead of its time? Yes that is an understatement, Buffy is one of the most influential genre TV shows of all time. For a 25 year old pilot, still holds up because the characters and writing are great. Welcome to the Hellmouth indeed.
"third jumpscare in one episode?" - dont worry too much about that, season one is basically Joss figuring out what he wants to do and how and the show starts to "become" what it is as it goes on.
backstory brief (without spoilers): Buffy was born in LA, California to Joyce and Hank Summers. Growing up she always had a brave, strong minded hero complex...very stubborn and always believes she is right. She was very close with her father, kind of the daddy's girl type. She was also very shallow in her original High School, she liked to control her friends. her parents divorced due to the dysfuntional behaviour buffy was causing (which was partially due to her being a Slayer and partially normal teen stuff). but her father never believed monsters were real and neither did her mother. basically both her parents are in denial of the supernatural which isn't overly explained well in the TV series...they kind of imply more that Buffy has never told her mum about that stuff but she has...she just lives in denial.
Awesome, I always keep an eye out for new people doing Buffy reactions, my favourite show of all time, and now one of my favourite reactors of all time is watching it, this is good news :-)
Still to this day this show is so amazing & empowering for so many people because it portrayed the girl as the hero instead of the damsel in distress. The characters, the emotions, the stories, I love this show & glad to see you getting into it
The Master rising from the blood isn't green screen. It's dunking the actor in a genuine pool of dye and then running the film backwards. (It's low budget at this point.)
Slayers have enhanced strength, speed, reflexes and healing. They also have visions (which Giles mentioned) either during the day or at night in their sleep to help guide them agaist evil. The origin of these powers is a great mystery...people who have seen the series before know the answer but can't spoil that.
To every generation of Buffy there is a chosen one. She jumps at every jump scare, recoils at every new monster, and cries at every drama. She is Dakara… The Reactor!
Each season, good or bad, has a few episodes that are amazing. You just need to find them XD The first couple episodes don't really do the show justice, so do not let that deter you if you feel like the show isn't living up to the hype, yet. Enjoy the ride.
YES!!!!!! Buffy is the best! I've watched your Supernatural reactions and am so ready for this. Supernatural is great and I love the boys, But nothing can compare to the Classic Awesomeness that is this Trope CREATING show! CoughCoughBetterWritingTooCoughCough Did you here something? lol
A new Buffy reaction viewer Yay!!! I hope you continue. Technically it isn't the pilot as the official pilot was a half hour never aired episode to try and get studios to greenlight, but this episode and the next episode do make up the same story as said unaired pilot.
That's considered to be a prototype pilot for the network executives to see if the idea can work. Obviously, it did with some polish (the principal and Willow were recasted).
For me Season 1 of Buffy definitely introduced the most fear to the series and made Vampires scary, then it sort of switched up for action and comedy. Look forward to this new journey 👱♀️🧛♂️
Well, if season 5 and 6 are comedy, or specially season 7... I dont understand it. Hell even the main theme and villan of season 2 was everything but funny... Buffy allways combined funny dialogues and characters with serious and tragic events and storylines, as well as scary characters. Here in the 1st season, as well as in the later ones. Ok, maybe not so much in the 4th and 1st half of the 6th season. But thats it!
This is Dakara’s first reaction to Buffy so please be careful when you comment!!!!! Do not talk about future episodes, foreshadowing or other stuff!!!! Please keep the comment section !SPOILER FREE! Thank You
You are in for a ride, a ride that will touch you ways even Supernatural couldn't touch, it will break you, it will bring the most happy happy joy joy feelings to you, like ever, it will make you confused, surprised and then confused again.
Welcome to the Buffyverse! I'm sure you will love it! I see people telling you to watch the movie to learn details about Buffy's story. I'd say, don't! The movie is pretty bad, and everything you need to know, you'll find out in the show. You can watch the movie for laughs, but not for information, specially since some of the lore was changed for the show. Also, I love Stewie, and I love Giles. I'm OK with the comparison XD
I know that I'm 3 years late in leaving this comment. Good reaction...but you also have to remember that this first season of Buffy was literally a last-second mid-season replacement on a small fledgling new TV network. So, the creators of this show didn't have much of a budget at all for special effects, since the show's creator, director, and the cast etc were virtually unknown. Being a last-second mid-season replacement, it was an unproven show. Many of the special effects in this first 13-episode season were basic and very cheap looking even by 1996 standards, and the location in this first season would also surprise you --- many of the cemetery scenes were actually shot on the grass just off the studio parking lot. That's how low of a budget they had for each episode in this first season. However, the writing, acting, and the plot line were so clever and captivating, that the show became very popular. TV viewers looked past the cheap make-up and special effects and instead immersed themselves in great story-telling. Btw, by the time this first season aired, there were already numerous TV shows in the past 2 decades with great special effects and set design. Star Trek The Next Generation which aired from 1987 had great special effects and alien costume designs...as did ST Voyager...Deep Space Nine etc. So, no...the 'cheap' special effects in this first season of BTVS were not groundbreaking or Earth shattering. The special effects were "Far Ahead of its time" as you put it....lol
she played in a movie called Cruel Intentions as the mid sister of a playboy guy that "rehabilitated for love" that guy used to drive a Jaguar XK120 Roadster in perfect state but he will his wife to be got it and also his journal called cruel intentions, great movie but without Lucifer or monsters
My first rewatch in over two decades. It still works as a high school TV show with a group of friends that fights monsters. The production quality and effect be quite cheesy that but how lots of shows on CW are today where some of the special effects are questionable with the technology of today. The explanation is the same, TV budget. But they are not the reason to what is it the characters and their interaction that is interesting. It is a monster of the week show like how Lucifer was a crime the week but the individual monster/crime is not that relevant it is the theme of the season and the development of character that matters. There is one thing that makes it feel quite different, all of the accusations of workplace harassment against Joss Whedon that have become public this year. It was especially the case when I saw Cordelia Chase(Charisma Carpenter) onscreen.
oooh only just watched this and YES a thousand YES's to Chandler Bing vibes! looking forward to seeing more of your reactions ot this show, one of my favorites from my teen/young adult life :D
One thing you need to keep in mind when watching BtVS. It is NOT horror, it is a teen drama. It just externalises the horrors of growing up as monsters. This episode is really about moving to a new town and not fitting in. You don't know what to expect. Sometimes the horror it represents is obvious, sometimes less so, but it is always what it is about.
The remastered version (16:9) is riddled with editing mistakes, colour grading and others. If you want the best experience you should check out the original cut, which is unfortunately in very low quality, or the fan made upscale which you can find in the show's subreddit
Yes, you need the 4:3 aspect ratio. Since she has already seen season 1, I'll give this example. In episode 7 "Angel", when Buffy and Angel kiss at the end, the wide screen crops off the bottom of the cross burned into Angel's chest and you can't see the cross burn. You need the 4:3 aspect ratio to see this important shot, and that's just one example of many.
I started a rewatch using the AI upscaled files but ended up having to go back to the DVDs. IDK if it's the result of a problem with the source files used in the upscale or not, but there's noticeable stuttering in a lot of scenes (see the scene after the title sequence in 2x7 for a particularly egregious example). It ended up being too distracting for the increased quality to be worth it :(
@@JohnDoe-ls2zu maybe... I did download what was in the google drive to check to make sure it wasn't just the torrented one that had the problem, and there are definitely parts where MILD SPOILERS Giles and Jenny are walking together ("it's a secret... the kind that's secret") where the image seems to skip, like frames are missing or repeated or something. That doesn't happen when I watch the episode from the DVD directly.
Great reaction! got my sub. Willow is my favorite too. By the way, in case no one has mentioned it, it’s probably a good idea to give a polite request each episode not to post spoilers, and find a mod. Buffy fans are great, but they tend to get carried away telling you how great upcoming eps will be. Each season has a story arc, and you _do not_ want that spoiled
The first season of Buffy is campy - you just have embrace it. Basically it's just a metaphor; like ... Highschool = Hellmouth ... or when Buffy drops her stuff in the hallway and Zander finds the wooded stake = he finds her Tampon
I Was going to ask if you miss Supernatural but I think is obvious you do and I definitely do as well!! I'm glad your doing buffy now I loved the show and I've missed your reactions I hope down the road you'll also do Angel ✌❣
Hello, 👍. Cordelia is a Queen. The Big Bad is a concept introduced by Buffy, use by many shows afterwards. The Master doesn’t look nothing like Voldy. The Scooby Gang.
Personally, it always saddens me when folks are quick to label dudes creepy just for being awkward or even simply standing. Obviously, Giles is SUPPOSED to be a tad creepy as we step into the unknown and learn who are crew is, but the fact so many treat it as normal to assume the worst of men troubles me. We should all respect each others boundaries and personal space, but if a guy really IS dangerous or a creep, then his appearance or proximity doesn't have much to do with it. I even go as far as suggesting that the modern standards of decorum go a little too far, with men genuinely frightened to get close or show affection just in case of accusation. That shit doesn't just hurt men :P Always love discovering a new Buffy reaction series. It's been a guilty pleasure for a year or so now. Adore seeing the different things people pick up on.
That was the time when the mere fact that Cordelia even had a mobile phone showed that she was rich.
Yeah, Cordelia's phone is included as a characterization touch that's very much lost now. In 1997, for a high school student to be carrying around a cell phone in her purse marked her indelibly as a spoiled rich girl...and also likely as what we'd now call a "Karen."

(A popular joke making the rounds in the early to mid-90s went like this: "Q: What's the difference between a cell phone and a tampon? A: Cell phones are for assholes.")
It's a particularly interesting touch IMO because in 1997, we were just on the brink of that all changing. In only a couple of years, no one would be associating cell phones with unpleasant people anymore, and not long after that, they wouldn't even mark a character as particularly wealthy.
(The US lagged behind the UK in this regard: in the year 2000 I visited the UK from the US and remember being utterly shocked at how many people -- even working class people -- were carrying around mobile phones. It took another few years for them to become as widespread on this side of the Atlantic.)

Way late BUT, Imagine having a queen size bed as a teenager!!!
I mean I was stuck with a twin size bed until I could afford my own upgrade!
I loved your Supernatural reactions and now I can’t wait to go on this Buffy journey with this channel.
The 90s styles and music gives me intense nostalgia
she played in a movie called Cruel Intentions as the mid sister of a playboy guy that "rehabilitated for love" that guy used to drive a Jaguar XK120 Roadster in perfect state but he will his wife to be got it and also his journal called cruel intentions, great movie but without Lucifer or monsters
I can't believe you started a year ago ,i feel like i just found your channel but no its been a year lol.
Dakara's doing Buffy?! YES!
im doing a rewatch of youre reactions :P
My first rewatch in over two decades. It still works as a high school TV show with a group of friends that fights monsters. The production quality and effect be quite cheesy that but how lots of shows on CW are today where some of the special effects are questionable with the technology of today. The explanation is the same, TV budget. But they are not the reason to what is it the characters and their interaction that is interesting. It is a monster of the week show like how Lucifer was a crime the week but the individual monster/crime is not that relevant it is the theme of the season and the development of character that matters.
There is one thing that makes it feel quite different, all of the accusations of workplace harassment against Joss Whedon that have become public this year. It was especially the case when I saw Cordelia Chase(Charisma Carpenter) onscreen.
oooh only just watched this and YES a thousand YES's to Chandler Bing vibes! looking forward to seeing more of your reactions ot this show, one of my favorites from my teen/young adult life :D
Could Xander BE anymore like Chandler Bing. lol
Awesome reaction dakara. This is the show that helped me and convinced me to watch supernatural
Awww mann i hope u keep watching buffy nd grimm ...
If I wasn't already subscribed, I would do so now to stick around for the ride
btw this was the first episode, not the pilot, the pilot had other cast members, like the one playing willow was a uuhm, plus size female
Doesn't really need to be done but watching the early 90s movie fills in a lot of her backstory.
I think of those as 2 different canons. In the movie the character of Buffy was older than this version.
@@PurpleNurpleSPN true but it does do a lot to explain the lines about her burning her gym down and how her previous watcher was killed.

Hiyaaaa Let's go on this adventuuurreee 😍😍😍
One thing you need to keep in mind when watching BtVS. It is NOT horror, it is a teen drama. It just externalises the horrors of growing up as monsters. This episode is really about moving to a new town and not fitting in. You don't know what to expect.
Sometimes the horror it represents is obvious, sometimes less so, but it is always what it is about.
YES QUEEN ive been waiting 3 years for this lmao
The remastered version (16:9) is riddled with editing mistakes, colour grading and others. If you want the best experience you should check out the original cut, which is unfortunately in very low quality, or the fan made upscale which you can find in the show's subreddit
Yes, you need the 4:3 aspect ratio. Since she has already seen season 1, I'll give this example. In episode 7 "Angel", when Buffy and Angel kiss at the end, the wide screen crops off the bottom of the cross burned into Angel's chest and you can't see the cross burn. You need the 4:3 aspect ratio to see this important shot, and that's just one example of many.
The AI-upscale fan release is really good. A noticeable improvement over the DVDs.
I started a rewatch using the AI upscaled files but ended up having to go back to the DVDs. IDK if it's the result of a problem with the source files used in the upscale or not, but there's noticeable stuttering in a lot of scenes (see the scene after the title sequence in 2x7 for a particularly egregious example). It ended up being too distracting for the increased quality to be worth it :(
@@ghostofdurruti Hmmm. I just checked my file for 2x7 and no problem. Maybe you got a bad release? I haven't noticed any problem with my files.
@@JohnDoe-ls2zu maybe... I did download what was in the google drive to check to make sure it wasn't just the torrented one that had the problem, and there are definitely parts where
MILD SPOILERS
Giles and Jenny are walking together ("it's a secret... the kind that's secret") where the image seems to skip, like frames are missing or repeated or something. That doesn't happen when I watch the episode from the DVD directly.
yep. i always thought xander was very chandler bing like. especially his jokes.
Great reaction! got my sub. Willow is my favorite too.
By the way, in case no one has mentioned it, it’s probably a good idea to give a polite request each episode not to post spoilers, and find a mod. Buffy fans are great, but they tend to get carried away telling you how great upcoming eps will be. Each season has a story arc, and you _do not_ want that spoiled
Don’t worry - she has mods!
@@dajtoad1 👍
I'm subbing for future Buffy reactions
The first season of Buffy is campy - you just have embrace it. Basically it's just a metaphor; like ... Highschool = Hellmouth ... or when Buffy drops her stuff in the hallway and Zander finds the wooded stake = he finds her Tampon
to this day I still rock a cladaugh. thanks Angel.
And it will make you laugh your ass off LOL.
"This one time at band camp..." those who know, u are cool :D
The actor who plays the vampire luke also played Shau Khan in mortal kombat annihilation
I Was going to ask if you miss Supernatural but I think is obvious you do and I definitely do as well!! I'm glad your doing buffy now I loved the show and I've missed your reactions I hope down the road you'll also do Angel ✌❣
I love this show. Glad you're reacting to it. 😍
Chandler Bing might be the most perfect comparison I've ever seen for Xander that I'm actually really mad I never thought of it myself
OMG! Great choice!😀
Yes the man who plays jesse was on the o.c and I think he was also on the show 24
Hello, 👍. Cordelia is a Queen. The Big Bad is a concept introduced by Buffy, use by many shows afterwards. The Master doesn’t look nothing like Voldy. The Scooby Gang.
Yes more Buffy!!!
Yes! Willow is my favourite Buffy character. I love this show!
Later seasons are better and better, and finale... one of those you remember because they were THAT good...
Lmao you make the 90s sound so old.
I mean this is the decade of the matrix, internet and CGI.
The 80s,however seemed so ancient to us 90s teens.lmao
@@JohlStewart-o5b I was born in the 80s lol
@@DakaraJayne Do you even remember the 90s? I mean 90-93 is proper retro. However, their are some things from 1997 that still look modern to me...
I loved Darla (Julie Benz), she could turn me into a vampire anytime
Pulling for this one! Hope you get into it. Just fyi, the quality really spikes starting in season 2, so it is worth sticking around for.
One of my favorite shows ever! It's up there with Supernatural and Charmed for me
Slayer body is pretty tough, and heals faster too.
you should go on from the pilot of Grimm. I think you will really enjoy that show
Great show .
Oh, wow! SO excited for this! You should react to Veronica Mars, too.
I’ve seen Vmars and looooved it! I used to watch every week back in the day. Logan was my guy haha.
Yay!!
Personally, it always saddens me when folks are quick to label dudes creepy just for being awkward or even simply standing.
Obviously, Giles is SUPPOSED to be a tad creepy as we step into the unknown and learn who are crew is, but the fact so many treat it as normal to assume the worst of men troubles me. We should all respect each others boundaries and personal space, but if a guy really IS dangerous or a creep, then his appearance or proximity doesn't have much to do with it.
I even go as far as suggesting that the modern standards of decorum go a little too far, with men genuinely frightened to get close or show affection just in case of accusation. That shit doesn't just hurt men :P
Always love discovering a new Buffy reaction series. It's been a guilty pleasure for a year or so now. Adore seeing the different things people pick up on.
Buffy is my favourite show so I’m bias lol but I definitely think you’ll enjoy it :)
her 'hostory' before this is 'buffy the vampire slayer' the movie, with kristy swanson
