      I think these days people just don't think of that as a negative thing in any way, shape or form, y'know?

    • @Logan_Baron
      @Logan_Baron Год назад +11

      Oh course I'm sure Joyce wasn't "stay away from the lesbians" but as for it not being so mainstream acceptable back then it was not wanting her daughter to be into that "lifestyle". Though thinking your preteen daughter is talking about any kind of sex (which "the things they do" means actual doing things and not just being lesbian) is kinda disturbing.
      But it always makes me wonder when Joyce found out about Willow and Tara being lesbians. Because she was clueless on it last episode when explaining to them about inviting Dracula in.

    Seriously, if you don't have mods moderating your comments sections, get some now. Buffy fans are amongst the best out there, but season 5 is just too tempting for many and spoilers will spill. It's happened for every reactor. You need really strict mods to keep it from happening.
    The best way I've seen moderating being done is to have mods go through the comments before you and they make a safe list of safe comments you can read. It's a much better approach than having mods telling people to remove spoilers. Unfortunately, season 5 evokes a lot of passion and it can spill out when someone is told something is a spoiler when they don't think it is. The safe list just means you ignore comments and nobody gets called out. They just never know you didn't read their comment.
    Even late season 4 gets bad for spoilers.
    Another thing is, if you end up doing the safe list approach, you can announce it to the fans, so the fans won't feel the need to call out spoilers either. There have been flame battles in the past over fans trying to get someone to remove spoilers too. Honestly, it makes the experience a whole lot easier for the mods, the reactor, and the fans. Cuts down on a lot of conflict. It's kind of just something that inevitably happens when you get to a season like this one. It's just that good.

Timmy's down the bloody well, and if you make me miss it..." GILES: "You'll what? Lick me to death?" Timmy is probably the most famous character from Passions (which I personally never watched). He's a doll that was magically brought to life, portrayed by an actor with dwarfism. Spike is apparently a big fan of the show.

That's just how most sibling relationships work, especially when one's a teen - the absolute love-hate that only siblings achieve.

    Honestly, Thor, don't read into those comments too deeply or let them inform your predictions. While there are of course actual spoilers, there are also "spoilers" from people misinterpreting, misremembering or simply phrasing things strangely so that you think the information is more meaningful than it is. Bear in mind that anything you're told could be true, half-true or wildly off-base, and it's not worth listening in any case. Just clear the comments from your head, enjoy the show, keep an open mind and make your guesses based solely on the information the show gives you. And yeah, get a mod as others have advised because some people have absolutely no filter.

    I remember I was one year older than Dawn when season five first aired. And I didn't like her at all. I was a teenager too, but I guess seeing Buffy be only 16 in season one, sacrificing herself and save the world... made me have higher expectations than what Dawn did in that second episode. I mean, leaving the house after a vampire just attacked, isn't smart already, but fighting Anya when she tries to bring her back inside saying it's not safe that's even worst. My first impression of Dawn was not a good one, even as a teen myself XD.
    I guess that's because Dawn ended up being older than what was planned, and I didn't like how childish she was, being 14. I mean, I was 15 and babysitting. There, she needs a babysitter. Not only because Buffy and Joyce said so. But because even with babysitters, she does something stupid twice and is acting like a kid and not a teenager. I guess, the age difference made it impossible for me to find excuses for her behavior.

    What I will say about Dawn and commenters is that Dawn is so much fun to use to mess with people. Because of how/when she came in, it’s hard to figure out what her deal is as a first time watcher of the show. Because of this, Dawn ends up being a way to mess with reactors/first time watchers for almost all of season 5. Moral of the story: don’t pay attention to any comments about Dawn for the foreseeable future because people are probably just having fun messing with someone who doesn’t know the whole story.

    I don't know why the Buffy fandom can't control themselves with this season. Avoid the comments this season or get someone to screen things first. People don't even think they're spoiling things, they're forgetting what the first time through is like, thinking it's just harmless jokes. They don't think about what has actually happened on screen so far. You're not through it yet and there are going to be a few more things this season people will misbehave on thinking they're being funny. S6 and 7 are more or less safe again, but 5 is arguably the best season of Buffy and people can't help themselves. People have said WAY too much and I hope you haven't caught much of it!

    Posting my BUFFY REWATCH recap for ‘Real Me’. May contain spoilers.
    With this episode we have the introduction of a brand new main character... only we’re not supposed to think of her as brand new. We are given no explanation as to why Dawn Summers has never been mentioned before the start of this season until later in it. Therefore, it’s odd to us how all the other characters act as if she’s always been there with them. Part of their lives as Buffy’s little sister.
    That being said - it means we have to acknowledge that all the other characters have had different experiences and situations happen to them than what we have seen and remember with the inclusion of Dawn to the show. Especially with Tara - who Dawn has seemed to have established a personal connection with more than anyone else. And it appears that the reason why is that they’re both outsiders to the tight-knit team of the Scooby Gang family. They feel excluded.
    When Dawn is told to wait outside the Magic Box store while the Gang deal with the murder of the owner, Tara eventually goes looking for Dawn, knowing that she has no real business helping the other characters with their detective work. They bond and share in their discomfort at being “in the way” as “non-Scoobies”.
    Later, as Willow and Tara are unpacking belongings in an apartment - now taking the step of moving into an off-campus living environment together, Tara relays her concerns about Dawn feeling left out - to which Willow intuitively senses that it’s not just Dawn that feels that way. Tara does too. And she refuses to let the conversation drop when Tara tries to change the subject. As I mentioned in my recap for ‘Hush’ - this is one of the ways in which Willow and Tara bond emotionally. In being outcasted or rejected from society. In their individual feelings of being ostracized or invalidated in particular. And here’s the thing - every protagonist character does to some degree at different points in the show. In this season, it appears to be Tara and Dawn that does as they are the “newbies” to the group dynamic and haven’t really found their feet in how they can be useful or beneficial to the team-working machine yet. As the season progresses, we learn much more about these characters and we see the romantic relationship between Tara and Willow really blossom because of it.

    I’ve seen every single reactor get spoiled for something big on Buffy or Angel, and if it’s not idiots who think they’re smarter than they actually are, it’s very often on purpose. If you don’t at least have a friend to read comments, I’d suggest you just stop reading them entirely. It’s one thing on patreon, where you might feel like you have to in order to give people their money’s worth, but it’s just not worth it on RUclips. 95% of the Buffy fandom is great, but that last 5% is full douchebag.

    I’m assuming the comments you talked about are the ones that said “be back before dawn”. Which wasn’t really a spoiler, it was just repeating what Tara said in the season 4 finale. So the show dropped that hint themselves. Now if people added any additional info to that, then there’s a problem. But like so many people have said, this is by far my favorite season and I can’t wait for you to experience it
