In a season with so many downer and cliffhanger endings, the cut to credits on an upbeat note here was a welcome moment of wholesomeness. Also, the kiss from Willow at the end showed such great character growth for someone who mentioned in the first episode that she was almost incapable of actually talking to boys.
Yes, they just walked into the funeral parlor but here it isn't disrespectful at all. In fact, everyone who is a friend or family member or classmate, etc... is welcome to come pay their respects during the visitation hours. The book Buffy is writing in is a register that visitors sign so the family has a record of everyone who stopped by to pay their condolences.
I know this is really late, but as an American I can explain about the New York shirts. In the US whenever people visit other states they often buy t-shirts as souvenirs. People don't typically wear clothes with their home state's name on it unless it's affiliated with a sports team. If Oz was wearing a Sunnydale shirt or a California shirt, that would be weird but New York is very realistic and believable. I hope that helps. 🙂
After _Innocence_ this seems subpar, when really it isn't, and is just taking a breather to show another character's story. It isn't as good as _Innocence,_ but how many episodes, even before it, have been. I love that the video's description says, "FINALLY a werewolf!! LOL" I laughed. How long had Darcie been wanting a werewolf in the series to write that. Xander outed himself for lying about remembering things as a hyena. The guilty chuckle always made me assume he wouldn't have reacted as well as Buffy if someone lied to him about it. He assumed Buffy to have the same reaction he would have.
Oz is my favorite character, so any episode where the focus is on him is a good one IMO. Plus, there is nothing scary about that wolf suit, so Darcie, you can take a breather from the horror this week.
I get the feeling that most actual New Yorkers don't generally wear New York merch. Also, New York t-shirts are a thing globally. I live in Scotland and see them pretty frequently. Yet to see any worn by actual Americans.
Exactly... NYC merch is more of a touristic souvenir, not for actual residents. It's normal for people from other states to wear the merch but it's usually because they visited New York or it was a gift from someone who went there
I just realized that Willow's wearing a shirt with a deer on it LOL. Giles immediately going to throwdown for Buffy always gives me life. She's basically his daughter by this point, he loves her so much. 😭
Werewolves are traditionally killed by silver bullets. A werewolf kills the same any other large meat eaters do, tearing there prey to shreds. Lastly lore says anyone who survives a werewolf attack that has been scratched or bitten will receive the curse themselves. An older werewolf movie that is pretty good is An American Werewolf In London. Another more recent and also good movie is An American Werewolf In Paris. Both worth the watch, and possible review on your other channel, if you haven't seen them that is.
I got so excited when I saw this was the episode coming, I just knew you'd get a kick out of it I think it's Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior? Maybe? America is a strange place that I truly cannot fathom
Correct. I'm also Canadian but that's the order. Took me forever to figure it out. haha... I think Junior Varsity is grade 9/10 football and Varsity is 11/12... but not sure. lol
Freshman = 9th grade (in college year 1) Sophomore = 10th grade (in college year 2) Junior = 11th grade (in college year 3) Senior = 12th grade (in college year 4)
People stopped saying Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior? That happened after I was out of school. And of course there were going to be werewolves, the theme song starts with one howling.
@@Henrik_Holst yeah I wrote that right after she said it and I assumed it was a young person thing, but then a few minutes later she said something that made me go 'duh, she's Canadian'.
I see that everyone else has explained the different class titles. Yeah that goes for both high school and college. Varsity and Junior Varsity is for sports. Like varsity football would be the main football where the star quarterback would win the big game etc etc. Usually filled with upperclassmen. But JV sports are for the lower class men, those newer to the sports etc. You'd have to be really skilled to be a freshman on varsity basketball or something like that. I hope that makes sense.
Pfft. Best 90s werewolf was Tommy Dawkins. No contest. He had Wolf-fu. To be fair to Xander...even being associated with the word gay could have ended badly for him. There's been hints throughout that he's living in an abusive home...so he'd be terrified of even a whisper of that word getting back to his parents (Harris Senior). Was his panic pretty? No. But honest panic never is.
EDIT: Joss Whedon early on considered making Xander gay. He decided against it; But at this point they were trying to lead into a story line where Xander comes out of the closet. But it never happened.
i mean... what the fuck is a "sophomore" and like why aren't junior and freshman the same? I have the same issue in french, i'm belgian and our elementary school system is just 1st, 2nd 3rd... their system is CP, CM1, CM2, CE1, CE2, 6th. Super confusing when you don't use it on a daily basis and you like 8years old trying to see if someone in a tv show is roughly your age or not. Also the difference between lycée and collège(middle school and high school, don't know in which order🤷♀), still mix them up all the time
They really didn’t make a great werewolf suit, but it’s still a great episode showing that spacial effects aren’t everything if you have a good script.
Even before high school I knew what Freshman & Seniors were as far as High School goes. Freshman: 9th Grade Sophomore: 10th Grade Junior: 11th Grade Senior: 12th Grade
Also: Freshman- 14/15 years old (9th grade) Sophomore- 15/16 years old (10th grade) Junior- 16/17 years old. (11th grade) Senior- 17/18 years old (12th grade)

In high school and in college, both 4-years, the 4 grades are freshman, sophomore, junior and senior.
I wish all werewolf shows and movies used this werewolf suit, it makes the whole episode ten times more entertaining
I used to think it was an animatronic before this video pointed out it was a suit

New Yorkers don’t normally walk around wearing shirts that say “New York” that’s usually something you see Tourist wearing.
Sincerely everything is possible in Buffy, except leprechauns.

I love WILD AMERICA. Devon, Scott, and Jonathan… those boys covered my teen girl walls.
I was totally surprised to learn that oz was the werewolf
I just realized that Willow's wearing a shirt with a deer on it LOL.
Giles immediately going to throwdown for Buffy always gives me life. She's basically his daughter by this point, he loves her so much. 😭
those werewolf costumes are too much 😂
Omg Wild America. You just unlocked a core memory.
How did I not see this for a whole week!!! I am now subscribed 😻
Hurrah! We've ticked another classic monster off the bingo card.

You thought someone was gonna die and someone did. But thank God it was not Oz, but just some random girl from Buffy’s class…
Yeah, this is the best the costume gets!
I mean, the main point of that conversation was that it's wrong to kill werewolves, so it wouldn't matter if he turned into one :P
I got so excited when I saw this was the episode coming, I just knew you'd get a kick out of it
I think it's Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior? Maybe? America is a strange place that I truly cannot fathom

I think Junior Varsity is grade 9/10 football and Varsity is 11/12... but not sure. lol
everyplace is a strange place. if you think your place isn't, you haven't spent enough time outside it.
@@sirmoonslosthismind Sure? Never said it isn't, but the US is bizarroland don't pretend it isn't.
"We could have a witch..."
-I wanna tell'er
-Don't you dare!!!
You made one correct prediction this ep! You'll find out in about a year.
Freshman = 9th grade (in college year 1)
Sophomore = 10th grade (in college year 2)
Junior = 11th grade (in college year 3)
Senior = 12th grade (in college year 4)

She means that the terms are not used in Canada where she is from (and they are only used in the US).
@@Henrik_Holst yeah I wrote that right after she said it and I assumed it was a young person thing, but then a few minutes later she said something that made me go 'duh, she's Canadian'.
I just realized today where I know the actor that plays Cain from.... LOL iykyk
I'm from Argentina, and here we have primary school - first to seventh grade, and then secondary school, first to fifth year =)
i mean its still a great episode :) :) , love youre reaction ,youre so funny :P
I’m not sure why we start using different terminology for grade levels in high school. Varsity and junior varsity are used for sports.
You look even more beautiful in this new place
I see that everyone else has explained the different class titles. Yeah that goes for both high school and college.
Varsity and Junior Varsity is for sports. Like varsity football would be the main football where the star quarterback would win the big game etc etc. Usually filled with upperclassmen. But JV sports are for the lower class men, those newer to the sports etc. You'd have to be really skilled to be a freshman on varsity basketball or something like that.
I hope that makes sense.
I actually went to a high school with junior varsity and varsity squads, and I didn't know the difference until right now.
Pfft. Best 90s werewolf was Tommy Dawkins. No contest. He had Wolf-fu.
To be fair to Xander...even being associated with the word gay could have ended badly for him. There's been hints throughout that he's living in an abusive home...so he'd be terrified of even a whisper of that word getting back to his parents (Harris Senior). Was his panic pretty? No. But honest panic never is.
Werewolf wouldn't be useful.. can't control it. But you could always aim it at the bad guy.
Werewolf? There wolf. Sorry, can't resist a Young Frankenstein reference.
Where is she from, I thought she was American... oh wait, she played hockey! So she's Canadian, right? Xx
EDIT:
Joss Whedon early on considered making Xander gay. He decided against it; But at this point they were trying to lead into a story line where Xander comes out of the closet. But it never happened.
This has some spoilery implications 😬
please edit out the spoiler in your comment

There is a baby? you have a baby? Why weren't we privy to this information before? Or was that just only shared with Patreons?
Sisters baby

I can’t hear the vampire hunter guy speak without thinking of Sahjhan. Which won’t mean anything to Darcy but if you know then you know
First like woohoo!
