Never Kill a Boy on the First Date...
*Please note, this is the full length version, and due to copyright restrictions, requires you to sync your own copy.
My wife and I have enjoyed Buffy from when it aired to reruns, DVD purchases of all the seasons and now the purchase on Fandango. So, yeah, little timing issues that a short stop-start fixes when it is noticeable. See you again on Ep 06.

Welcome back, and Happy Holidays, Jacqui!
I admit this is a fine episode but not really a special oneβ¦but seeing this and noticing Cordelia looking at Angelβ¦ π
Charisma Carpenter is on TikTok now, and found her way to my FYP, and sheβs been gracious in answering questions about her career (mostly in the Buffy-verse) and I appreciate that she is addressing some of the fan-made-up controversyβs head on, especially the one that said she had a rivalry with SMG because Charisma also tried out for the role of Buffy. She pointed out that she read for Buffy, just like a couple of hundred actresses did, but that the casting directors immediately asked her to prepare sides as Cordelia, and to always trust casting directors. They were right, and sheβs perfect in her role!

This is far from my favourite episode but I'm really glad I did not skip it as I really enjoyed your reaction. This was a good Christmas surprise, I'm glad you're back. Happy Holidays!

I'm watching from original Region 1 DVD and this was perfectly in sync for me. I do appreciate the idea of putting more footage around breaks as I know from experience that this might change.

No worries. There were only 2 (I think) so no real hardship. I might try my DVD copies at some point to see if they occur there.

I'm watching on Hulu, and I'll have to see how long the ad breaks are. I don't cut anything, but now that I know they seem to be different lengths on different streaming platforms, I'll try to include more footage around those breaks to help with syncing. Alas, I think that's the best I'll be able to do, since the DVD's may even be different. Thank you for letting me know!

Hi Jacqui,
Just finished watching this and great reaction, and glad to have you back.
I had a couple of questions.
1. How are you watching the episode? (I'm on Disney Plus UK, for example).
2. Does your "copy" have black screens (and dip out) where it would have been the ad breaks and if so, are you cutting them out?. I had to pause you for a few secs. to resync.
Not sure if the DVDs have them.
Great reaction anyway. Can't wait for more.
Thanks

I've always really liked this one. The first episode to bring the Master back into the mix and the fact that it leans especially hard into the gothic campyness of S1, which is something that has been one of my favourite aspects of early BtVS. The constant snark juxtaposed with Giles heartwarming speech at the end gets me every time.

Yay, Buffy's back! I'm so happy! The bad news is this is my least favorite episode of the entire series! The good news is it's only up from here! The better news is, BUFFY IS BACK! Happy Holidays Jacqui <3
