Season 5 dawn is finally getting some serious screen time. I swear in seasons 1-4 she always seemed to fade into the background of every scene she was in.
Especially in season 4. With Buffy in College, they gave Dawn even less screen time than Joyce. What was she in maybe 2 or 3 episodes and only briefly.
Your "does not compute" face was fantastic! And every time you went back to watch it again, I laughed harder 😂 Damn, girl, you give good reactions! Thanks for sharing with us ❤
"What? How? Since when?" Three excellent questions. Kinda makes you forget all about Dracula. You'll just have to tune in again next week, same bat time, same bat channel.
Don't worry about finishing Buffy. Then you get to start your first rewatch. That's really fun too because you start to see so much of the foreshadowing and other details you miss on the initial watch.
I actually took it to mean Giles doing Watcher meant he could not settle down with Olivia and have a child with her and be a family. Thus breaking Olivia's heart if she stays with Giles. Which plays nicely with Buffy being shown as a child in Giles' dream. Also feeding into Giles thinking of leaving this episode. And what the decision to stay means
This is where the show really took off. I always thought Dawn was underused in the previous 4 seasons. The character deserved more than she got previously, though I do wish Lacey Chabert hadn't given up the role after season one.
The fact you replayed back the dawn scene like 4 times had me rolling 😂 imagine watching it live and questioning your sanity for a year before it came on air lol.
Yesss your quadruple-take was the best of any reactor I’ve seen! Then in the post discussion you kept saying “we’re not going to talk about this” and you kept talking about it! This made me so happee! 🤣🤣🤣
The confused look on reactor's faces at the end of this episode is always priceless! Fun fact: This episode premiered in October so it was perfect for Halloween season without having an actual halloween ep as we had in the past. On another network during the same time of year, a made for TV movie about on Vlad Tepes, the historical figure Bram Stoker based Dracula on played by the same actor Rudolf Martin. I remember it like it was yesterday.
And Dracula & Dawn were on All My Children when SMG played Kendal…. Rudolf Martin was her love interest Anton. I shipped Kendal & Anton hard in high school.
I miss it when Buffy fans would confuse Reactors by asking them why they dont recognize dawn? and remin them of her always being in the show and talk about all the things she did in past seasons.
I feel you Sofie. I was so hoping we wouldn’t see Dawn again after Buffy went to college and yet HERE she is again in season five. They really never give us a break from the sibling drama
@@seanmcmurphy4744 yes. SPOILER (?) . . . . . . . . . . I love this season because of Spike became more dramatic character then comedic. His character development is everything for me. He is my favourite character in TV-show history 😁
@@nansyraccoon7095 Didn't mean any kind of criticism. Yeah I liked Spike's development. SPOILERISH.... I think James Marsters said it was a scary acting challenge, because Spike just kept getting more and more vulnerable and exposed as the episodes went on.
This was a great episode. And I don’t know why you were so confused at the end. Don’t you remember Buffy’s sister? I mean she’s been there the whole time.
She’s not Jonathan, clearly she’s not memorable at all, that was bad writing, background characters are supposed to be memorable even if the show wants or doesn’t use them ever again I’m a first time watcher and I’m with these reactors, Dawn came out of nowhere and we’re supposed to act like she was an important character before now? Nah….that’s not how you do it
@@ninjanibba4259 Because it's The Joke™ about Dawn ? How she was always there and how we all complain about how little she had of screen time before (even tho she literally was incented this season) and how we're all glad she's getting more important ?
@@mayadargeon2172 all she did was whine and be useless most of the time, I thought that would change in season 7 but nope, she's a useless character and adds nothing to the group, Xanders not my favorite thing either but he does add to the group with skillset and motivation, so does Willow, Tara and Anya
I always find it kind of funny that the same actor (Rudolf Martin) also played the historical Dracula, Vlad Tepes, in "Dark Prince: The True Story of Dracula". I guess, he really is into Dracula... :D
I'm with you, Sofie, I thought the last scene was really weird, too. Buffy's clearly just told her mom that she and Riley are going on a date - why on earth would Joyce suggest Buffy's little sister tags along too? We ALL know that's not a good idea after what happened last time!
"You have been tasted." Not just by Angel, but before that by the Master. There's a bit of a continuity/lore question there - Buffy's neck doesn't appear scarred most of the time...
maybe she is super aware and puts on make up, or maybe it doesn't show up on those old cameras, or maybe it doesn't actually show up unless you are a vampire, and they show it for narrative purposes. maybe even some monks could be just thinking really hard that the marks are not there.
@@StefKomGeekru it is definitely a subject of discussion on Buffy fan sites. There's disagreement, plenty of fan theories, but the simplest and easiest explanation is that the scar is shown when the story needs it and the writers didn't bother to worry about it.
Obviously the master is a master of all things vampirism so he does not leave behind sloppy scars like vicious creatures as Angel. He also just did a quick bite while Angel went a bit far...
Your confusion at the end was brilliant! 😂 Watching your brain race, trying to figure it out, watching it over and over 😂 I am loving your reactions so much!
It somehow warms my heart to learn that Season 5 has now become such a fan favorite! When it first aired, I remember loads of people *really* disliking it, which made me feel terribly alone back then, as I thought it was a great season. I haven't watched it since then, though, and OMG that was literally *decades* ago. So now I'm very excited to experience it again along with you. Some of it is probably going to feel like new to me, since it's been so long since I've watched these episodes, and when I glanced over the episode title list, I realized that I don't remember a lot of it very clearly. (I hope that I enjoy it this time around as much as I remember liking it back then!)
Liked your reaction as usual. 16:20 - 18:28 priceless!! 😁.. oh and of course your "Willow's alike face" when Giles was tellin her about going back to England
Welcome to my favorite season! This is a fun episode, esp. if you have read the novel. Yes, they made it very campy and it's hilarious. And it gives Buffy the push to want to learn about her lineage. I'm also dying how many times you are going back over the end scene LOL
I loved how many times you kept repeating the last scene 🤣 We've all been there. One of my favourite scenes to watch reactions to ever. It's just amazing watching the sheer confusion. Just go with it
Sarah Michelle Gellar fans from All My Children got a mini reunion in Buffy & Dracula (Kendal & Anton)… and then the reveal at the end was like 🤯 Buffy has a sister Dawn. Played by Michelle Trachtenberg, the same actresses had played step sisters on All My Children.
I think there's something wrong with the video, it keeps looping back to the last few minutes of the episode. And you seem confident about Buffy having a sister, when she's been around since season 1. How can anyone forget season 1 episode 4, she tries play "detective," following Buffy around, trying to find out her "secret; thinking she's going to catch Buffy smoking or kissing a boy. But she keeps just missing seeing Buffy fight a vampire. And then at the very end, Buffy rescues her from a vamp and she learns Buffy's the Slayer and promises to help keep her secret (even though her "help" usually isn't very helpful or subtle). There was a whole B plot about Xander almost getting eaten by a giant Praying Mantis? Can you imagine if that was the whole plot of the episode? And who can forget her teaching Angel to ride a bike (since they weren't invented yet when he was human) and then she used the same bike to escape him when he lost his soul.
@@SoFieReactsTV Don't you remember the time Ethan posed as her school librarian and gave her an enchanted storybook, that sucked her and the Scoobies into it? Xander got mad because he spent the entire time as a toad, because Cordelia wouldn't kiss him. Buffy wasn't amused being cast as the "wicked sister" to Dawn's Cinderella, but Faith really got a kick out of being the other step-sister. Who could forget the classic Giles line, "Why am _I_ the fairy godmother? I'm not magical or maternal..." and Buffy and Faith just stare at him blankly. And then when he says, "And anyway, where's Willow? She's the one with any real magic." And they cut to her in a red cloak, sitting in the forest complaining, "It's just not fair. Why do I have to be Little Red Riding Hood? Am I that much of damsel in distress?" "I don't think so," Oz says, offscreen. "I just feel typecast," she says, as the camera pans to Oz, who's in full wolf form. "I get that." And then the very end when Angel unexpectedly returns from the hell dimension? Such a good episode. It's no wonder it won all those awards.
Amazing how people forget about her? Her spying on Angel and Buffy kissing, participating in Dawn/Faith mutual fanclub and cuddling up with Joyce/Buffy at the end of Innocence.
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.
I remember being convinced that Dawn was an amazingly powerful demon with mind control powers. Have to say that the reaction to Dawn is one of my favourite moments in a reactors Buffy journey.
Did she really not know about the sister storyline she watched the ending 4 times 😂 I am loving reactions to season 5 I watched Buffy back in the 90s I did not have a rewind button 😂 I’m old
Lol, replay the scene again. I'm sure it'll make sense this time. 🤣 But seriously, you don't remember when Buffy's sister helped defeat the mayor with the gang??
Right. I always felt she was being eclipsed by the other characters in the early seasons. She did have a few good lines, that time she caught Buffy sneaking back into the house through the window.
@@blimfark875 I always liked her snuggling up with Buffy and Joyce at the finale of Innocence and kicking Ted's wreckage in the head as Xander and Giles drag it away.
When I watched this back in the day the internet was still kind of in it's infancy so I couldn't just google it. Was so confused and thought I had missed a show
It's nice to see Dawn visible again. It was a real drag back in season 1 when the elementary school kids all ignored her and she became invisible for a few years.
(Sees the preview picture)🤩🤣(Skips to 16:18 IMMEDIATELY)🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I love how you kept rewatching the scene hoping it would help you to understand what the hell was going on!!!We all went through that phase!!!❣😵 00:43 - 01:06 There's been a glitch in the Matrix!😵 02:16 - 03:07 You freaking out over characters added to the credits. 10:37 - 10:45 *HEY!* 😡💢Don't you dare,Mr.Bat-Boy!🦇 OK...time to re-watch your AWESOME reaction to Dawn...!!!😂😂😂😂17:56 - 18:00 That movement you made,like you were *seriously* expecting something different to happened!!!😂😂 BTW yes,it _was_ mentioned at least twice that Buffy is an only child,by Joyce in ep 3x03:"It's probably good you were an only child."and by Giles in ep 4x02:"Buffy..living with somebody is never easy,expecially for an only child.../"😉
Yes, the great thing is that you can immediately do a re-watch, which I recommend. and then continue to re-watch it at least every year after that. For years you will possibly see things you didn't notice before, see things in a different light, appreciate things that you didn't. But mostly you will spend time with these characters, and that is always a good thing. I believe laughter is healing and it strengthens the body, boosts the immune system. And besides the action, drama, love, fights, the humor is so good. But for now, new episode goodness for a while~!
I can't believe you don't remember all the classic moments with Buffy's sister. Don't you remember when she pushed that guy into the hyena enclosure and when she pressed the button that set off the explosives that took out the Mayor? Those are just two of the many classic sister episodes!
Just subscribed. Nobody really ever understood why Buffy was so important to me. Especially this season on. You. Obviously. Do! Also I never noticed this, but just before Buffy says "Mom" you can see a look of temporary confusion and processing going on with her - just a split second. Then it's done, she's accepted the new reality. That is brilliant writing or acting or both! Just watch that split second and you'll see. Thank you bunches.
Episodes like this make me wish more reactors would watch and post one episode at a time. Because the few that do it are fun to torment when they reach this point.
Vampires with powers so far have been Dracula, The Master, Drusilla, & Balthazar (Back in season 3, Weasley's first episode, was looking for his amulet) I believe that is about it.
youtube is so irritating. when i see a video recommendation for a series like this, the first thing i do is click the channel so i can make sure i didn't miss a previous one. then i get there... and this video isn't there, and i have to go back. bleh.
The end of this episode on viewing reactions almost always takes a backseat to the actual episode itself. Great reaction to Dracula introducing himself. Eerily similar to Buffy's reaction. Riley being Jealous isn't new. That was triggered by Xander telling him about Angel in _The Yoko Factor._ This is just Riley carrying on his jealousy issues even though Dracula is just using his "showy gypsy stuff" aka his powers on Buffy. Not a good reason for jealousy. If anything Buffy has more of a right to be jealous that he called Dracula's wives, "Dracu-babes." And even that would be a flimsy excuse for jealousy. The Master and Drusilla had a bit of those powers also with being able to use a thrall, so it isn't "weird" so much as rare for vampires to have them. I find it odd when people say Dracula in this episode is "campy" etc. because Dracula is campy/etc. in all of his character's incarnations. Joyce thinking Dracula was normal shows her taste in men. 😁
@@sirmoonslosthismind ok, thanks. Season 4 started out strong and might have ended up being great except for the two people that asked to be let out of their contracts which changed the story dramatically.

You don't know about her? That's just Buffy's sister. She's always been there.
Amazing how people forget about her? Her spying on Angel and Buffy kissing, participating in Dawn/Faith mutual fanclub and cuddling up with Joyce/Buffy at the end of Innocence.
@@MrLorenzovanmatterho To be fair, she didn't get a lot of screen time, and what she did get was only B or C plot stuff. Way underutilized imho.
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.
Be back before Dawn ;)
I remember being convinced that Dawn was an amazingly powerful demon with mind control powers.
Have to say that the reaction to Dawn is one of my favourite moments in a reactors Buffy journey.
Dude, spoilers.
Did you think that all the way back in season one, or was it a later thought?
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 The Infocard says she is at episode 12 on patreon. So i think no spoilers for Sofie.
Drusilla also had special powers. She was able to hypnotize Kendra.
And Giles!
I only started watching BUffy from the finale of season 3. So when they showed the sister, I was like, oh ok.
I always enjoy seeing the "WTF" moment from 5x01. :D
Having watched buffy when it first aird, and rewatching several times, at 54 I still see things I missed, queues to future episodes.
Awww, this is where you meet... Nope, no spoilers! Great reaction! I remember having that same look on my face. Priceless!
I love how Everyone who have Ever seen this endning, reacted Exactly like This!
Did she really not know about the sister storyline she watched the ending 4 times 😂 I am loving reactions to season 5 I watched Buffy back in the 90s I did not have a rewind button 😂 I’m old
Lol, replay the scene again. I'm sure it'll make sense this time. 🤣
But seriously, you don't remember when Buffy's sister helped defeat the mayor with the gang??
About time Dawn got some screen-time, after bit parts in the series for 5 years she finally gets some dialogue.
Right. I always felt she was being eclipsed by the other characters in the early seasons. She did have a few good lines, that time she caught Buffy sneaking back into the house through the window.
@@blimfark875 I always liked her snuggling up with Buffy and Joyce at the finale of Innocence and kicking Ted's wreckage in the head as Xander and Giles drag it away.
When I watched this back in the day the internet was still kind of in it's infancy so I couldn't just google it. Was so confused and thought I had missed a show
Wow, I do love your reactions but the end of this episode you made my night. Watching it and rewatching it was priceless. I know it's Topsy turvy!!
"Turvy-topsy", to quote Willow in "Pangs".
It's nice to see Dawn visible again. It was a real drag back in season 1 when the elementary school kids all ignored her and she became invisible for a few years.
I think you're mixing that up with Willow's sister. Buffy's sister was living with her dad during seasons 3 and 4.
When dawn showed up I had to rewatch previous episodes I was like “wtf where did she- what-?😭😭”
(Sees the preview picture)🤩🤣(Skips to 16:18 IMMEDIATELY)🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I love how you kept rewatching the scene hoping it would help you to understand what the hell was going on!!!We all went through that phase!!!❣😵
00:43 - 01:06 There's been a glitch in the Matrix!😵
02:16 - 03:07 You freaking out over characters added to the credits.
10:37 - 10:45 *HEY!* 😡💢Don't you dare,Mr.Bat-Boy!🦇
OK...time to re-watch your AWESOME reaction to Dawn...!!!😂😂😂😂17:56 - 18:00 That movement you made,like you were *seriously* expecting something different to happened!!!😂😂
BTW yes,it _was_ mentioned at least twice that Buffy is an only child,by Joyce in ep 3x03:"It's probably good you were an only child."and by Giles in ep 4x02:"Buffy..living with somebody is never easy,expecially for an only child.../"😉
Yes, the great thing is that you can immediately do a re-watch, which I recommend. and then continue to re-watch it at least every year after that. For years you will possibly see things you didn't notice before, see things in a different light, appreciate things that you didn't. But mostly you will spend time with these characters, and that is always a good thing. I believe laughter is healing and it strengthens the body, boosts the immune system. And besides the action, drama, love, fights, the humor is so good. But for now, new episode goodness for a while~!
I just loved your face journey at the end there. Don’t know why you’re so surprised though. She’s been in the show since season 1 after all.
Probably because she was living with her Dad during the last two seasons.
@@pillmuncher67 yeah, I guess she forgot that Hank got Dawn and Joyce got Buffy after the divorce.
I can't believe you don't remember all the classic moments with Buffy's sister. Don't you remember when she pushed that guy into the hyena enclosure and when she pressed the button that set off the explosives that took out the Mayor? Those are just two of the many classic sister episodes!
LOVE the utter confusion!! You'll get there...
As a long-time BtVS fan, your reaction was priceless.
I remember when they first introduced Don in the pilot episode she tried to sneak off with Buffy to high school with her
17:36 That look. Priceless.
Didn't Faith say in one of Buffy's dreams 'little sister's coming'? The signs were there!
Just subscribed. Nobody really ever understood why Buffy was so important to me. Especially this season on. You. Obviously. Do! Also I never noticed this, but just before Buffy says "Mom" you can see a look of temporary confusion and processing going on with her - just a split second. Then it's done, she's accepted the new reality. That is brilliant writing or acting or both! Just watch that split second and you'll see. Thank you bunches.
ah yes that ending with Dawn...all will be revealed in time. but i do remember this confused people so badly at the time.
Welcome to season 5
Episodes like this make me wish more reactors would watch and post one episode at a time. Because the few that do it are fun to torment when they reach this point.
Lmao you look betrayed! I remember watching this live when it aired. No rewind, no explanation, waiting a week to figure out if i just made it up.
Sarah Michelle gellar looks way older in this season just cos she turned 23. It's like Melissa Joan Hart in Season 5 of Sabrina.
wait, they are not the same? (I know that, but I like adding sugar to the drama.)
The best season of Buffy is started!!!!
Vampires with powers so far have been Dracula, The Master, Drusilla, & Balthazar (Back in season 3, Weasley's first episode, was looking for his amulet) I believe that is about it.
The definition of stun locked
Your "I'm more than half way through Buffy" comment is so on point. But you're only 5 seasons into 12 of B&A combined!
What's the confusion?.. You don't remember Buffy has a sister?.. Granted she isn't in the credits, but she's been there this entire time.
You and the ENTIRE fandom at the time :-) kerk
When you're so early it doesnt even show on recent videos.
youtube is so irritating. when i see a video recommendation for a series like this, the first thing i do is click the channel so i can make sure i didn't miss a previous one. then i get there... and this video isn't there, and i have to go back. bleh.
@@sirmoonslosthismind 😂😂 felt that
The end of this episode on viewing reactions almost always takes a backseat to the actual episode itself.
Great reaction to Dracula introducing himself. Eerily similar to Buffy's reaction.
Riley being Jealous isn't new. That was triggered by Xander telling him about Angel in _The Yoko Factor._ This is just Riley carrying on his jealousy issues even though Dracula is just using his "showy gypsy stuff" aka his powers on Buffy. Not a good reason for jealousy. If anything Buffy has more of a right to be jealous that he called Dracula's wives, "Dracu-babes." And even that would be a flimsy excuse for jealousy.
The Master and Drusilla had a bit of those powers also with being able to use a thrall, so it isn't "weird" so much as rare for vampires to have them.
I find it odd when people say Dracula in this episode is "campy" etc. because Dracula is campy/etc. in all of his character's incarnations.
Joyce thinking Dracula was normal shows her taste in men. 😁
I know you said this is not a fan favorite season but it is my favorite season.
she was talking about season four not being a fan-favorite season. nobody dislikes season five.
@@sirmoonslosthismind ok, thanks. Season 4 started out strong and might have ended up being great except for the two people that asked to be let out of their contracts which changed the story dramatically.
The look on every confused buffy fans face when Dawn finally arrives.
except for those who watch it on tv and not in the right order and have been wondering where is her sister going to show up...
