"Is that the devil? The devil's Italian?" I don't know why I laughed so hard at that.
Well, he was when Dante wrote him...
5:18 "Is she like the first victim of being catfished?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤
The final scene of this episode is gold!
This whole episode is gold!💖
@@NicamonThat's funny since the show's fans hated it.
Yaaas! The final scene is my favorite part of the whole episode.
@@Madbandit77 I *am* a show's fan and I *love* it.❣
@@Nicamon
You are one fan, you don't represent the whole fandom. 😉👍
Giles predicted the future of humanity. If only we had listened.
*Exactly!* How can people trash on this episode?!?It was so ahed of its time!!@.@ And the whole debate between Giles&Miss Calendar is 1 of the deepest things...1 of the _many_ things I love about this episode!!🤍🖤

"men thought that machines would set them free but it only allowed other men with machines to enslave them" is a quote from Dune, 1965.
If you’re not jacked in, you’re not anywhere, man! 😂
The monk’s name is Thelonius. Thelonius Monk is a jazz pianist.
If you’re a jazz fan, it would make you giggle.
OMG I am a jazz fan and I'm ashamed to say I never caught this joke! 😮
It definitely got a chuckle from me🤣
@@DanielOrme Don’t worry, I’ve seen the episode many times and in the first handful I didn’t notice the names until actors (now famous) started turning up in later shows.
I just gotta say--you have very quickly become one of my favorite Buffy reactors. You can just tell how much you're really enjoying the show, even during what is arguably the weakest season. Very much always looking forward to seeing a new upload from you, Cass!
Yup, this. S1 is great though, just out of pure entertainment value and irrespective of quality.
EVERY reactor I've seen enjoys S1,I don't know why people always feel the need to specify that"it's the weakest season"...1)it's not true,2)even if it was...THEY DON'T KNOW THAT!!! They're enjoying it for what it is,CAN'T YOU JUST LET THEM???!!! I don't get it...people in this fandom get so overprotective when it comes to spoilers,but defining *the very 1st season* the weakest of them all somehow is not a spoiler?!?! Not only it anticipates the presumed quality of ALL the rest of the show(that still remains subjective,BTW!)but it can literally *SPOIL* the view of _this_ specific season. How is a person supposed to enjoy a season that everyone keeps insisting that sucks?!?! *I'm SO SICK AND TIRED of hearing this!!!>O
@@Nicamon no, saying something isn't as good as the rest isn't a spoiler, like at all
@@zakjaggs9761 As I said,it is in the _literal_ sense of the term:it can SPOIL the vision of S1 because people can be conditionated to dislike it even if they were,infact,enjoying it only because _everyone else_ say it sucks.
@Nicamon If every season of a show is good or great, is calling one season the weakest really the same as saying that season sucks?
The fact that even the weakest buffy episodes like this one are fun and memorable says a lot about this show🥰
“The Devil’s Italian?” 😂
The impression I get from the show is that Willow was a latchkey kid. Both parents were always working late, and so she probably had to do stuff like prepare her own dinners sometimes. She gives off that vibe.
As one who grew up as a latchkey kid, I always got that vibe from her as well.
I remembered this episode. I forgot about groaning because of the name of the demon.
Moloch is a traditional Hewbrew name for demons, but it was later confirmed to be a nod to C programmers as well.
In C there is a built in function called malloc, which is short for Memory Allocate.
You call the function to get a chunk of memory / RAM to use.
Interesting thing in C programming, you have to very carefully keep track of the memory you allocate, because you have to manually de-allocate all memory that you allocate. If you don't you get a memory leak that can and will crash your program, and in those days, you computer. In the case of the show, binding Moloch is like de-allocating the memory assigned to him.
Miss Calendar's actress, Robia LaMorte, is actually most famous as a dancer in several of Prince's music videos. She took up acting when she retired as a dancer.
She was also in an anti abortion film like six years back. Wild career path
This one kind of reminds me of "Demon Seed". In that movie, a supercomputer yearns to live "outside the box". He finds a way, and it's pretty freaky.😬
Aww man, you watched the Evil Dead movies for the first time recently and you didn't record your reactions for the channel? I would've LOVED to see those. Alas... A great reaction as always.
I couldn't believe it when mecha-moloch appeared, it so silly, I love it.😂
Say what you want about the episode, it remains one of the best TITLED episodes of Television ever. Double reference, and both references manage to be relevant somehow. Brilliant title, go to the head of the class.
This very much seems less "Fritz is possessed" and more "Fritz has always wanted to be a serial killer and now he has motivation and approval".
The internet in the spring of 1997 was an odd bird of a thing. AOL was the gateway into browsing for most kids, and they had their own chat and message board channels that didn’t require you to go to actual websites… so it was all relatively safe (with instant messaging being the equivalent of DMs nowadays). There was a lot you could do without actually surfing the web. But it was slow. It was tedious. Talking to others was sometimes the best thing you could do because it didn’t use up a lot of memory and there weren’t a lot of fancy icons that needed to load all the time. Actual websites were so primitive, they were hardly the reason for being online. It was, from the beginning, a social tool.
I love that Willow gets a spotlight in this episode, and there’s some intrigue to the plot. But it’s still one of the lesser season 1 entries.
You didn't mention the most important part: we weren't always online. Dial-up modems were the way most of us connected (through a service like AOL or Netscape), and being on the internet meant tying up the house's phone line (so nobody else could make or receive calls while you were on the internet). Sometimes, an incoming phone call would boot you off the internet (if you had call waiting). Also, there was often only one computer in the house for everyone to use. We still called them PCs, but they really weren't personal yet. All of these problems led to some families buying a second phone line (specifically for the internet). If you were Buffy's age, going to college in the early 2000s was doubly liberating because colleges were your first taste of high speed, always online internet access.
I personally love the little details in the background of this episode - the kid's paper getting rewritten, the nurse's medical records not being correct. It's not my favorite episode, but it's fun and I really appreciate the small things like that
Lol yes, there are robots in the Buffyverse. With Buffy, anything is possible. Well, not "anything" (I watched the Last Sharknado today and it really redefined my concept of impossible plotlines), but clearly robots are possible. Thank goodness they defeated Moloch in the end, though!
You're Buffy reaction videos are my most eagerly awaited RUclips releases now
"Throuple?" My, my...
Even today, I think people are a bit too blasé about not knowing who they are directly talking to on the internet. Doing so and doing so assuming the person on the other end are who they say they are, are two different things. Xander is correct about the elderly Dutch woman comparison moment, but it doesn't mean panic. It should mean be cautious.
The best line in this episode is Giles explaining to Jenny that, "I simply don't adhere to a, a knee-jerk assumption that because something is new, it's better." Like Xander's elderly Dutch woman moment it still means something today.
There are _so many things_ from this episode that still means something today! It was literally predicting the future in so many ways! If they made it today it would basically be an episode of"Black Mirror"!!😱How can people say it's 1 of the worst if not *the* worst ep of the whole show I will never understand it!!😵
it's so very strange having reactors talk about this topic as if it was a problem before when it is a way bigger problem today than it was back then.
@@Henrik_Holst That's actually the point. It's a problem then and now, but many people don't consider it one now and panicked too much back then.
@@Buffy8Fan prob the age old problem of if it regularly happens then it isn't news and isn't reported anymore and if it very seldom happens then it is news and posted everywhere.
@@Buffy8Fan What do you mean it's a problem now? Now Twitter has this whole verification system to make sure you're talking to the right person and... oh wait! LOL :p
I actually like this episode (it's one of my favorites of the series). While I was in high school when this first aired, I didn't watch the show until about a year ago. I do bar trivia and tease my teammate that if he gets a question wrong, or we lose, "he gets sacrificed to moloch!"
Great reaction as usual, glad you enjoyed this episode more than many people do. Yes the "robot" looked terrible, but the budget for the first season was insanely low. Plus, it's worth noting that this isn't really a working robot, it's a metal body being animated by a demon.
@4:20 It's called a Wand Scanner and yes, they do exist, but they're usually not worth the effort. Most scanners are similar to photocopy machines: a bright horizontal light illuminates the text while an internal digital camera takes pictures and stitches them together to form a page.
It may look like text, but the original scan is just a picture. You need to run a second program (Optical Character Recognition or OCR) to convert it to a text document. Over the past 30 years the technology has gotten faster and conversion more accurate, but the underlying method hasn't changed a lot.
I get the feeling you're not meant to take this monster too seriously, so don't worry too much about that. It's a bit campy. I loved your idea at the end of this episode: "throuple?!" :D
I haven't even seen every Buffy episode but seeing your reactions to it for the first time is so much fun.
You can definitely still feel the presence of Moloch on the Internet. This episode was way ahead of its time.
On social media last night Moloch told me America would be a lot better off with Nazi Germany's government instead of democracy . . .
Oh, wait, that was Rep0blicans.
People who came to become fans of the show well after it aired forget what tech was like then. This aired in 1997 but was written in 1996. Most people accessed the internet via wired telephone modems using AOL that they got off one of the ubiquitous floppy discs AOL used to mass mail. While it was still a bit dated, it wasn't that far off.
Let's be honest.
Most people didn't access the internet at all, yet.
Welcome to the first draft of _Avengers: Age of Ultron_
This video's title is GOLD!
The character Dave is Chad Lindberg.He was on the first Fast and furious movie.He played Jesse.
16:00 "It can't be Calendar." 🤣
Computer technology is something that really dates a series. A few years later Willow would have a laptop and all the computers would have flat screens. Most internet access was dial-up making a noise.completely unfamiliar to modern teenagers. E-mail obviously existed, but social networking sites were not yet a thing.
unfamiliar except as a meme.
I went to university in 1997. We had four shared computers in my hall of residence (about five hundred students) that were connected to the internet. They were very basic. One of them was missing the on button from the front and we had a specially bent fork that you had to insert to reach the power to get it started. How we didn’t burn down I have no idea. Four computers was enough because we only had email (address issued by uni but no one sent anything to it), and most people only got a few a term. We were still hand writing essays. Communication was by letters!
By the time I went back in 2003 to do graduate school we all needed our own computer, everything was word processed and ideally you needed your own internet connection. Times changed very fast and this was the exact point it was happening.
Malcolm restarted your computador 😂
the printed page is obsolete
Me: (grabs a huge book) i'll show you obsolete
You were not as "scared" of Moloch in robot-form because that is not the form that robots have taken in the zeitgeist. However, if Moloch's form had looked more like one of Boston Dynamic's dancing robots you would (likely) have been more concerned.
Websites became a widespread thing in 1995. That's when people started switching from direct one-to-one modem connections to ISPs which offered access to the web.
But the web was still pretty sparse.
Buffy trying a flying kick on the robot gets me every time :)
Omg, Moloch shut you down girl. He didn't like your vibe 😂. Dude I love your facial expressions. I get a kick out of them 🙂.
Also, Ms. Calendar is a techno pagan?? Lol ok.
I was more scared of Fritz than anything else in this episode. Dude willingly wanted to kill and was very easily corrupted. "If you're not jacked in, you're not alive." 😬
I love the scene at the end with them together agreeing they're doomed to never have a normal, happy relationship lol. Aww besties ♥.
Finally someone who talks about some _positives_ of this episode!❣
Technopagans existed in the 1990s; and still do.
In '97 the web wasn't quite mainstream yet but chat rooms (basic websites where you talked in text) were already around and Instant Messaging was just becoming a thing. With great trepidation we would utter the ancient incantation "A/S/L ?"* and hope we hadn't summoned a demon :).
* in case that's aged out, "A/S/L ?" meant "Age/Sex/Location ?" as in what age are you (to avoid being age inappropriate), what sex are you and where in the world are you. So as the episode reflects, people were already worried about whether the person they were speaking to wasn't who they seemed to be (we just didn't have the term "catfish" yet, that's from a 2010 documentary).
(one of my least favourite episodes this one - just feels a bit heavy handed and obvious - but it's still got some great moments, including the funny end cut)
I watched it when it aired and even though I hadn’t really experienced the internet at that point I still found the robot cheesy. But I totally got the addictive nature of love part.
I love that they established that Fritz was a psycho before Moloch intervened. That was a nice touch.
Loving the reactions Marathon all the way up to this one only thing I wish is that you were farther along so I could keep marathoning but I'm enjoying the ride
I've come to the conclusion that this episode was ahead of its time, both for the effects and the implications of the nature of the story.
Having grown up during that time, I feel like one of the least realistic things is the scanning wand Willow used at the start of the episode, scanning a clear and perfect image so effortlessly. Like, it can be a pain in the butt _now_ to get a proper image with a hand scanner. And apparently an entire demon essence must have been under 30Kb. That thing's left horn wouldn't have fit in the internet back then. It'd be funny though if the origin of the noise computers made back in the day when connecting to the internet was Moloch screaming because he was stuck in the landline of a school library's slow internet connection.
_But_ imagine the implications of Moloch infecting the internet _today._ We'd be screwed. And I have to imagine it would be way harder, if not impossible, to get him out of the internet.
Don't worry, there is no way to take a demon possessed robot seriously.
Ye gods, I miss 1997... Cyber evangelists were the best :D I wrote my whole senior English paper on a book called "Hard, Soft & Wet" which was about the rise of online culture. The title references hardWARE, softWARE & wetWARE (which is the user) in case you thought I wrote my paper on a porno.
I absolutely love Jenny Calendar. And that's all I'll say for now.
As usual, amazing reaction!
Wedon would go on to reuse this plotline in Age of Ultron.
9:42 or you could say Fritz was on the fritz....😂
"Thruple?" LMAO
For wanting to go see that movie, you are brave. I watched the trailer and was like, “Nope!” 😂
Malik didn't want your review to g smoothly 🤣
When I saw this in the 90s I wanteda Scanner like that so bad! Nowaday I have one just like it and I nearly never use it 😅
Agree that Angel and then Witch are best Buffy episodes so far. As for this episode, I enjoy it given exploration of demon cat-fishing, it being Willow-centric, and intro of Jenny Calendar. Still, the robot is not scary and it is definitely one of the lesser Buffy episodes.
I will never understand how people can say this is 1 of the worse(or _the_ worst)"Buffy"episode and I will never understand how can they put"Witch"above it!
There's only 3 episodes this season that I'm not a fan of, with The Pack, it at least gives us the death of the Principal and Puppet Show introduces Principal Snyder, this doesn't really do that outside of Ms Calendar but even that's not worth rewatching that much. But glad you liked it. It's amazing how relevant Giles fears are and how it's become a reality.
It’s fine if you don’t know how any of the technology worked in ‘97 since apparently the Buffy writers didn’t know either, or didn’t care.
internet in mid to late 90's (real life and TV like Buffy): it was beginning to expand rapidly but people still had a lot of ignorance to the dangers of it (i robot you jane perfect example). online dating was a thing...so were adult sites...abuse of the net was a lot more common than logical use and beneficial use like say...social media sort of things.
While many pan this episode, there are several very important things that happen in this episode, anf the themes are still very relevant today. Also one must remember that this episode came out before the 56k modem was released.
Umm, no it didn't. Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 started on March 10, 1997.
The first 56k modem was released in 1996.
Actually March 1997 saw DOCSIS 1.0 standardized and the first non-proprietary cable modems released late March / early April. I got my cable modem in October 1997. At the time it was a blazing 1.5 mbps down and 500 kbps up.
I definitely think the implication is that the demon had some influence over its victims that affected their behavior on top of just standard manipulation. The demon also definitely worked better as a disembodied predator. I almost wonder if the robot body was a network concession considering The WB had multiple concerns with the show potentially being too scary and what not for its target audience and time slot. That said, this show never fails to be ambitious with what it tries to do. Even when a monster design or plot concept doesn't completely work, I always appreciated that level of creativity and willingness to not just play it safe.
I think he did have influence. Moloch was described as "the Corrupter" and shown as skilled at seducing his victims with promises of love, in a parallel to online catfishers. Your idea that the cheesy robot was added to satisfy the network is interesting - I agree a disembodied demon in the Internet would have been better and scarier.
Have you watched Ash vs. Evil Dead, though? To really make sure you've gotten all of the Evil Dead canon under your belt, Ash vs. Evil Dead is a must.
I know you where joking about the throuple thing, but I would really love to see a show have it's protagonist (or protagonists) involved in a throuple and have the show treat it in an honest way, and not just as a way to create tension through jealously until we eventually discover that 2 of the throuple are actually in love with each other and the 3rd is just in the way of the real relationship.
shout out to all the technopagans out there
Amen!🖤...Oh,wait...maybe not...(?)🤔
"My computer just restarted..."
Sounds like daddy Bill Gates deciding he knows best instead of letting people decide. Window's 10 is famous for deciding to restart when you in the middle of using it, no warning, and no letting you decide now is not the right time.
Though this is in the bottom 5 of ALL episodes for me, it does actually create a plot point that is leveraged in some of my favorite episodes yet to come. I shan't tell you which plot point, but I think you will understand when we get there. Thanks for reacting.
Oh I just realized my last comment from your last buffy movie reaction was about another episode in the next season. Nevermind
Also, total side note but the "Circle of Kayless" will never not be funny to me. So "Kahless the Unforgettable" is a character from Star Trek. He is the legendary Klingon warrior that slew the Klingon gods & freed the people. Kahless is pronounced exactly the same as Kayless & I simply cannot see that scene without thinking how weird it is that a 15th century Italian monk is invoking the name of a mythic Klingon hero. Anyway, hope you enjoyed this little trip into my brain :D
"And I am here for a throuple."
Instant backpedal - "That is a joke!"
Followed by that contemplative look... :)
I chuckled, but if I were here for a throuple, it wouldn't be the three of them. Xander just isn't mature enough for either Buffy or Willow in my opinion, at least not yet.
Weirdly all the current Tech Bros haven’t really changed much since Fitz, Obsessive, overly aggressive and think robots are the future
So this is one of the most disliked and lowest rated episodes in the entire series. I personally don't hate it, it's just a bit "meh" after the brilliant previous episode. Ms Calendar and Giles bickering about books vs computers is great, probably my favourite thing about the episode. 😂
I *LOVE* this episode and I will *NEVER* stop to defend it!!!>^
The fact that even the least liked Buffy episode is today more rewatched and discussed than 95% of what else was on TV at the time says something about the quality of this series
IMO the best thing, probably the only good thing, about this episode is Miss "That's not where I dangle it" Calendar.
A lot of the fan base doesn’t seem to care much for this episode, perhaps because the technology is so dated or because they are actually elderly Dutch women, but I’ve always loved it.
Weird facts: when Moloch is checking Buffy’s records, if you look closely at the info on Buffy’s files, they give her a different birthday each time 10-24-1980 and 5-6-1979. Don’t know if either are cannon.
I love this episode and it always buffles me when someone trashes on it. I will *never* stop to defend it! It's a great episode!❣
At the beginning of the show the writers were a bit sloppy with some things, never sure if the series would get a second season. Her real birthdate is January 19, 1981.
Eh, I was 22 when this came out and watched it then, so the technology wasn't dated to me. It's still one of my least favorite episodes because the demon robot always felt pretty cheesy to me. (Also not an elderly Dutch woman lol)
@@TheMacerica It will never not baffle me how people can hate _the whole episode_ only because the robot feels"cheesy".X-[
none of them are cannon. On the other hand Moloch seems to induce glitches in the network which one can hear in the background dialogue so it could be that the dates where changed due to his presence and not being production errors but we will never know for sure.
If this isn't the worst episode in the series, it's reeeeeally close. If you had a good time and got through this one, this series is definitely for you and one you'll finish.
Well it's not one of the best, but internet radicalized Fritz with an AR15 and a manifesto looks like one real world monster to me, must be one of the most prescient and terrifying episodes of Buffy, sadly. I mean you consider 4chan instead of that cringy demon and suddenly it's a story we've all heard too many times.
I enjoyed this episode, or Teacher's Pet, The Pack ,.. at the time at it was first aired.
Didn't thought too much of convoluted plots and season spanning storylines. It was just saturday night distraction.
I’m late to the game but you’re starting to freak me out with your predictions and one off comments. It’s unreal how often you just randomly say if hey maybe Angels a vampire, well no maybe not. I was like, holy crap. Anyway, just here to say I’m impressed.
*Hansel voice* He's.... in the computer??
This episode always ranks very low on the favourite fan episodes which is rather unfair. It was really way ahead of its time regarding the potential dangers of online dating and social media. Willow is obviously very green, innocent and vulnerable as up to this point she has no romantic experiences. Great foreshadowing here again in this episode ( will not mention here ) as could be construed as spoilers. As has been said S1 is quite rough, but great perception here of how the future is now with the internet basically controlling everyone's lives.
And all this time I thought the devil was German.👿🇩🇪
No, that's Faust.
Buffy has a strange fan base. They love the show but hate the episodes. 🙃
Never liked that demonrobot much. Even if ever so briefly, it did have Willows affection, something I coveted for myself. I was more envious than scared of it, but certainly as any demonic villain it was a threat and not to be taken lightly.
People are still being sucked in by scams, relationships/financial or otherwise. For me, that's what I hated about this otherwise OK episode. We can see Willow so deep that she doesn't think about the implications that Xander pointed out (as I would have). It happens easily with the Nigerian Prince and all that money that someone left you that you will get for a fee. Obviously, plays on people's desperation.
Absolutely the nadir of the show for me. Dated (even when it aired), unsophisticated and obvious plot and - even for this show - a silly premise. The only bright moments are the scenes between Giles and Ms Calendar. I always find it interesting to compare it ot the next episode - but more on that next week.
Yay Jenny! She has one of the best storylines in the whole show!
Lol, it's just occurred to me that Joss Whedon ripped off his own show when he wrote Age of Ultron. The MCU version of Ultron is very Moloch, even the sequence where Moloch awakens in the computer is not too dissimilar from Ultron's awakening in the film.
Exactly!!And yet the same people who trash on this episode then probably love"Age of Ultron"!Make it make sense!😡💢
This episode isn't exactly original either. Ghost in the Machine in a movie from 1993 where a serial killer ends up in a computer network. I'm sure there were other stories before that one too.
@@MichaelHHHH I was talking specifically about the similarities in the way the characters operated (go into the internet, find out everybody's secrets, use it to manipulate them) & the similarities between the sequence of Moloch's awakening & Ultron's awakening. I mean, you're not wrong with what you said (there is a sci fi story from 1930 about a human mind being uploaded into a synthetic brain) but I wasn't being quite that general in my comparison.
Wait your computer just went down and your watching the episode where Moloch is inside a computer, ermm i think Moloch was inside your computer. A lot of the time the bad guys arn't supposed to be taken seriously, whilst others are. Lots of fun ones to come in the future seasons.
I will never get tired to repeat this(actually,I *AM* tired of having to repeat this!!!😵):this is probably *the most UNDERRATED episode of the whole show!!!!!* People keep saying it's the worst episode and I'm like ARE YOU CRAZY???!!!The plot and the theme of cat-fishing is super-interesting and if it was made these days it would basically be an episode of"Black Mirror"(not to mention many people compare it to"Age of Ultron"...well,you liked *THAT* movie,didn't you?!?!How come that you keep *insulting* this episode,then?!?!😡💢Make it make sense!!!),it's the introduction of Miss Calendar 🖤 and most importantly,it's a goddamn *Willowcentric episode!!!* ❤❤❤❤ NO Willowcentric episode can be bad!!! *EVER!!!!!>O
I live in Italy. The Italian at the start is correct. But the pronunciation leaves a lot to be desired.
no more drugs for you 🤣🤣
@@stevencolatrella3257 There are a lot of grammar mistakes too.
5 words: The. Robot. Suit. Looked. Stupid.
It’s not the plot or the acting that’s the problem. The climactic battle was silly. Allyson’s line reading of “maybe we can still be friends” is supposed to be a joke. It falls pancake flat. If you don’t wow the audience in the end, it’s going to be what they remember. Everyone remembers this episode had a dud of an ending.
@@edthestraightedge8783 2 words:WHO-CARES?!Seriously?!?!Such an interesting and suspenseful episode,with so many interesting themes ahed of the time and all you focus on is that THE ROBOT SUIT LOOKS STUPID?!?! Do you know HOW MANY"Buffy"monsters look stupid?!?!This doesn't mean the _episodes_ are!!
"If you don’t wow the audience in the end, it’s going to be what they remember.

for me its the least liked episode of season 1 even tho i still like it ,its the one a love of all buffy episodes
welcome to the abyss of the worst few Buffy episodes xD
In the interest of commenting for the algorithm: This is my least favourite series one episode.
one of my least favorite episodes because everything feels so slow the entire episode
Yeah, I don’t hate it or anything. I just think it’s one of the weaker Buffy episodes.
Yeah, it's not brilliantly paced and even at the time it felt kind of hackneyed IMO. Still got some good moments though (love the end scene for instance).
