Another angle to consider is that they live on a Hellmouth, and the area has all kinds of weird things happening all the time. The humans that live in Sunnydale are going to get used to having to return to normal daily routine after something crazy happens. Something crazy is always happening.

2024-08-22 07:55:39 +0000 UTCTo be fair, one can know exactly how a coroner is likely to act in real life, so it takes you out of the story when it's wrong. Vampires and giant mantises? Yeah, you're pretty much in the hands of the writer telling you how they act ;)

I think I first noticed it in "Never Kill A Boy...", but the band was haunting and ethereal -- Velvet Chain. But it's everywhere in the show. As for expectations: this is not a slasher show. First, it was a mid-season replacement, so this season was done in a bit of a rush. They are still finding their way here. At some point, they hit on a good structure: take an ordinary human frailty, and turn it into a demon. Then pair that with an "A" story, showing that (or similar) playing out in high school. They gain a bit more power in the storyline, because the "B" story can go very big, showing where our everyday struggles could lead. It's definitely NOT about fights and killing. It's about the battles we all face. But Buffy, always an optimist, triumphs over all the evil, both demon and human. And so can you.

2024-08-21 20:52:10 +0000 UTCHmm, all this Buffy and Blade talk has me thinking that Ashleigh should get into the Underworld franchise sometime in the near future..

2024-08-21 19:40:39 +0000 UTCNot a Buffy fan, but reading the discourse around these episodes reminds me of the first season of Supernatural -- if you can get past Bugs, you're good! I'm gonna go all GenX here and say, chin up, Ashleigh! You'll get through this big sad, whichever way you need to!

2024-08-21 12:33:42 +0000 UTCVampires and giant praying mantises you're cool with, but a sloppy coroner - that's where you draw the line? XD

2024-08-21 06:58:10 +0000 UTCBig sad comes and gets ya when you least expect it. And when you expect it. And when it's already here. Stupid big sad. Throw rocks at the moon, it might help.

2024-08-21 01:16:34 +0000 UTCBlade II is great. Del Toro is a very good director, and the mutant vampires are very disturbing looking.

2024-08-21 00:12:14 +0000 UTCIn terms of realism, you're not going to do much better. I think you have to buy into the world--that it has it's own rules. The primary rule is that the kids are smart, and the adults are dumb. Accept that and you'll have fewer headaches.

2024-08-20 23:20:31 +0000 UTCSo, this is my first time watching. And to be honest, if I was just watching this on my own, I might have bailed at the hyena episode. Some students ate their principal and the next day, everything's back to normal? And they blame it on wild dogs? Come on now. A coroner's gonna know the difference between human and dog bite marks. Anyway.... I'm starting to understand why everybody's like "stick with it, it gets better." I imagine it would have to since it kept going as long as it did.

2024-08-20 22:48:02 +0000 UTCTo brood is to think deeply about something, to dwell over something. More importantly I hope you are doing self care we value and love you:)

2024-08-20 22:01:40 +0000 UTCIf you like the first season I highly recommend continuing, even if you don't do it for the channel (altho we all hope you will π) because the next 2 seasons are where Buffy really hits it's stride

2024-08-20 21:26:11 +0000 UTCI think there was some misreading or misinterpretation of things in episode 5. At the end, when Owen came back to Buffy the next day, he wasn't interested in her. He was interested in being around her because of the danger. It's akin to wanting to hang out with a superhero because of their abilities and because they kick ass, not because of who they are as a person. He's also in it for the adrenaline rush, and if that's the only reason he's there, he would be reckless. Those type of people tend to get themselves, and others killed. They're a liability. Yes, it's true that both Angel and Xander are also interested in Buffy, but Angel isn't around much, and he seems rather distant, and Willow is into Xander, and Buffy knows this, which should put him off limits. Also, even if other guys are interested in her, learning that a guy you have a crush on is only interested in you because you're a superhero, not because of who you are, is still going to sting. I do get the lesser investment, though. I only watched your before and after, and kind of skimmed the rest because of time, but these reactions are always good. Super excited for the next one.
