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.

We've got a bunch of the VHS tapes. Tiny Toons also. When I showed Emmett Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein he remembered instantly that it had been parodied on Tiny Toons.
My niece introduced me to both Animaniacs and Tiny Toons when she visited way back when she was 14 and it was on the air.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
So, I've been rewatching Season 2 and just finished Surprise/Innocence. Got me to wondering what the watch-n-post was like for those episodes. OMG! Evil Angel! I pulled the archive of the very first Buffy thread from TT. It started AFTER those eps. No watch-n-post! Seemed very strange to me.
So, for those of you who were watching when they first aired (I didn't become a regular watcher until season 3), what were your reactions??

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And, if you read on? Someone spoiled the thread for Angel getting his soul back. Can you imagine? We'd have lynched him, these days.

Surprise was like my 3rd episode ever. I spent all of Innocence wondering how they were going to cure Angel by the end of the episode. It never ocurred to me that they might leave him that way, which is one of the things that put the hook in me big time.

He was imagining what it must have been like to see season 2 in real time. We came in, in season three, and so were spoiled by exposition and reruns.
Oh, and for Vortex, Matt is right. The Orb of Thesulah definitely disappears after the Gypsy Woman imparts the original curse on Angelus. I didn't get to the second half of Becoming, actually, I didn't get the the second half of Becoming, part I, because I fell asleep, but that must be what happens when Willow re-curses Angelus.

Heh, I enjoyed backtracking to find the Giles reveal at the end of S6. I was a very new and intermittent lurker (or, actually, might have not even been here yet) at the time - in any case, I wasn't doing the W-n-P, but I just loved the string of
GILES!!!!!!!!!
Warmed my shrivelled up little walnut of a heart, it did.

Unfortunately, unless you were really going out of your way to avoid spoilers, it was pretty common knowledge at that point that Angel was in the early planning stages, even if there was a still a whole season of Buffy to go before it saw the light of day. At least that's my memory, and I was watching in real time.

Was it still surprising that she killed him (sent him to Hell, whatever)? What about Angel losing his soul?

That was all a total shock to me. I watched in real time and wasn't involved in fandom at all. It seemed as if anything could happen.
I was also unspoiled for Angel coming back, though that was kind of disappointing.
