Spike ,'Sleeper'
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.
This is SUCH a good Willow episode. "A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend" followed by her comforting Spike after he fails to bite her? Top notch Willow, truly A+.
Perfection.
I was well into my 40s when I watched Buffy. I can't help but wonder how I would have reacted to the show at a much younger age. More would have gone over my naive head at that age for sure! But I know the love would still have been there.
We watched "Inca Mummy Girl" tonight. Not the show's most creative title, or concept for that matter: What if we mashed up "Teacher's Pet" and "The Pack" but made it South American this time??
Gotta say, one of the hardest things for me on a rewatch, 20+ years on and knowing what we now know about Joss, is how gross so much of Xander's behavior is. He frequently acts super possessive with Buffy, and when the girl he likes in this episode tells him through tears that she doesn't deserve him, he doesn't tell her how wrong she is; it actually seems to make him happy to hear her say that. Ick.

That's amazing
The first time I watched this show we didn't even have chainsaws TikTok.
Well done, A+ reference
