AIBU to think this is still one of the best Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes?

I've never actually seen Buffy so I've no idea what you're talking about but I kinda feel like I should watch it to see what the guys is about after reading this 🤣

JasperRising · 31/01/2020 18:03

Definitely my favourite!

YesThisIsMe · 31/01/2020 18:06

I’m off to see comedians sing a tribute to it next month. Rose Mattafeo as Buffy, Ed Gamble as Spike and Nish Kumar as Xander. DH, who’s never seen the original, and only knows the bit about bunnies, (because any time anyone ever says they’ve “got a theory” I go into a full rendition) is escorting me god help him.

geekone · 31/01/2020 18:06

@Hoik yes me too. Though there were also rumours that it would be a follow on rather than a reboot. I would watch either I don’t mind. I watched the. Charmed reboot it was quite fun, though buffy is a big part of my life, charmed was not.

geekone · 31/01/2020 18:08

@YesThisIsMe that sounds awesome

JaneyJimplin · 31/01/2020 18:10

It's definitely top three, The Body is prob my favourite

ColdWinterChild · 31/01/2020 18:10

I love the Kate Nash live show she did of Once more with feeling

44PumpLane · 31/01/2020 18:13

When I saw the title of this thread I was thinking "I bet this won't be what it should be" and I'm so wonderfully surprised... A thread full of fellow geekish fans!!!

YADNBU.... Once more with feeling is amazing and in fact I must must must watch it tonight now I've been reminded of it!!

I'm also looking forward to the new take on the vampire slayer world..... Its not meant to be remake which I'm happy about.

I loved the original film and the SMG series was a perfect continuance!

CantstandmLMs · 31/01/2020 18:13

I put on the soundtrack the other night in my car and had a grand old time!

ponygirlcurtis · 31/01/2020 18:13

I clicked on this just to see if it was Buffy! Love that episode, and I agree The Body is just a stunning piece of television. I too was utterly obsessed. When I changed jobs late nineties they made me a leaving card with a picture of me marrying David Boreanaz.

TheZeppo love the name. Wink

I am currently watching the first season of Marvel's The Runaways on Prime and it has James Marsters in it with normal brown hair and normal accent. I keep waiting for him to lapse into an English accent and swirl a big black coat around. So far, he hasn't. Sad

Singlebutmarried · 31/01/2020 18:15

Not long finished re watching all of BYVS

Might start Angel again soon.

Hush
Tabula Rasa
The Body

And many many more.

OakleyStreetisnotinChelsea · 31/01/2020 18:15

It is wonderful. Buffy is general is wonderful.
I still can't decide if I would rather shag Giles or Spike.

Infinityandbeyondthestars · 31/01/2020 18:18

Great episode, the body and the gift where also massive favourites. I think it should have finished with the gift. Such a powerful ending. Loved buffy

ponygirlcurtis · 31/01/2020 18:19

Well that's tonight's cooking soundtrack sorted, the soundtrack is on Amazon Music! Just played The Mustard and proper snorted to myself. 😆 Had forgotten that bit.

Ratasha · 31/01/2020 18:22

I actually dont like the soundtrack that much (its fine) but it was just such a fresh idea at the time, and was really well executed in terms of the story. Voted YANBU on balance.

Ratasha · 31/01/2020 18:24

And Angel was great apart from that terrible 4th season. Season 5 might have been the best, even with the rushed ending.

ShakespearesSisters · 31/01/2020 18:25

Love a bit of Buffy. One of my daughters is Cordelia, if I'm asked I say oh, yes, it's from King Lear. But no, I've liked it since I watched Buffy.

3luckystars · 31/01/2020 18:27

@FrenchtoEnglish
You met Spike!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tell me everything! I love him.

maggiecate · 31/01/2020 18:28

Second only to Hush IMHO.

Mistletorpor · 31/01/2020 18:29

YABVU - Hush, hands down.

Dan68 · 31/01/2020 18:32

I love love love this episode, the best line for me is: ‘If my heart could beat, it would break my chest’. I also love Tabula Rosa and Smashed and Wrecked! I recently rewatched the whole thing on Prime and it’s unleashed a serious fan girl Blush

LucyAutumn · 31/01/2020 18:33

Yessssss it's sooooo good! And Hush!

Pascha · 31/01/2020 18:33

God I loathe it Blush. All musical episodes on non-musical programmes are cringe and awful and spoil the programme for me.

I'll slink away now...

MorbidMuch · 31/01/2020 18:35

YANBU

I was watching Pangs today and as Xander was lying clammy on the sofa, I was singing "his penis got diseases from a Chumash tribe"! Grin

Soubriquet · 31/01/2020 18:36

🎶she came from the grave much graver

First I’ll kill her then I’ll save her

Everything is turning out so dark

No I’ll save her THEN I’ll kill her

I think this line is mostly filler

What’s it going to take to strike a spark🎶
