The Spike obsession never leaves you. Trust me...I know.

❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

Really excited for you to get to this episode❣ It starts off a run of so many great ones in a row, enjoy!!!

The initiative seems like a black ops. They are legit "soldiers" I guess, but everything they do seems to be off the books. In the Buffyverse, the general population might not believe in demons and the paranormal. Sunnydale and we've heard Cleveland are exceptions and hotspots so many of the locals there know, it's probably rarer to encounter it far from there. I'm glad we see more of how the demon/magic and the human world intersect, the last time we saw something like that was with the feds recruiting the invisible girl in high school and the mayor.

Fun fact: Joss was more than half tempted to let Willow die in just the same way Spike looked like he might. He actually told Allyson Hannigan who then gave an impassioned speech as to why not to off her! 😂😂😱😜 He just thought it was so scary to have someone killed while no one could hear it happening. We see this come to fruition in Hush.🤫

If you compare them side by side, you can see the direct influence that the Harmony/ Xander fight had on John Wick. Spike and Willow being supportive and comforting to each other is the most weirdly heartwarming thing in the history of ever.

Harmony: "Really?" George: "She is me" Well, somebody said it. 😆

Fun fact, Xander VS Harmony fight was actually meant to be the series finale. I still don't understand why they spent the most dramatic fight of the show in a random season 4 episode. And I have to agree, Riley looks a lot like Leon from resident evil

I have had a major crush on Spike for years. I know just how you feel!

Another entertaining reaction. In case you have not noticed, Episode 7’s are imported and vital to each Season. Don’t expect complete explanations in the world of Buffy. You will receive all answers but not on your schedule and never, never , exactly the way you want. Finally to understand stories and characters actions , view them through the prisms of the current situation. This year is about people finding their new identities and individual purpose when situations change.

I love seeing your face every time Spike comes on screen ❤

Great episode and funny scene with Harmony and Xander. Spike and Willow scene is gold with the sex metaphor

11:20 No, Spike belongs to Angel (or you) 😂

All-time legendary episode! That's not a finale or something anyway.

he Initiative contains some brilliant comedy moments, from when Spike says could be 'cosmetic company' in answer to the lab rats reference. Then we also have the greatest fight in The Buffyverse, with Xander and Harmony bitch slapping and sissy kicking in slow motion, a homage to the Kung Fu series of the 1970s. We then have Spike in Willow's room, and the analogy to erectile dysfunction, Willow says 'doesn't this happen to every vampire', and then Willow saying it must be me, and Spike saying he would bite her in a heartbeat, all this achingly funny. We now know about Riley and Prof Walsh, and their activity with The Initiative in what is like some kind of Bond Film complex. Riley is almost as awkward as Angel when it comes to chatting up women, but we can see how much he likes her when laying out Parker. An important episode the S4 as a whole.

I was looking forward to seeing your reaction to this one. So many great moments in this episode!

Spike and Riley - for sure there are slash fics and ..."art" out there

The bad news is that Oz is no longer in the opening credits... the good news is they've replaced him with Spike, enjoy xD

Im sure you would like to perform some "experiments" on Blondie-Bear.

I came back after 6 years you react on this,😂.

I agree with comments that note she was a socialite, the type who makes headlines with her wild antics, rather than just a a “manic pixie dream girl” fantasy. She’s literally in trouble with the law, which is how Mitch knows her lol. And these are separate shenanigans from whatever she could be charged with in this movie! XD She didn’t seem like most female protagonists from movies then or now, so, I doubt it was considered “more” normal then. Maybe people were more naive about stranger danger, but most of the characters seem at least somewhat taken aback.

👍

Can't wait until you get to the later seasons!! the first season is so misleading imo because the show becomes something else entirely as it goes on

So an actual comedy episode here. But we do learn some important details on Kate's daddy issues.

Kate's dad does seem to suck...

Love the Ab Fab call back. 😂

One of the weaker episodes of S1 I think. An interesting take however on the relationship between Kate and her father, and how children, when they get older, always are seeking the approval and love of their parents which isn't sometimes reciprocated. This episodes shows how psychologically damaged Kate was with the relationship with her father. As usual some great comedy moments between the three, which is a constant through S1

I was never fussed about David boreanaz until he got to start doing more comedic acting. He’s hilarious

Cordelia wanted him to be more sensitive, that happens and she can't stop rolling her eyes. I think this was needed for Angel, he's a dork who keeps people at arm's length. He's not used to having actual friends who are present in his life. His emotions are exaggerated, but this showed that he does care for Cordelia and Doyle and how they perceive him.

I also thought they might find out about each other this episode. Looking forward to the next. Fun react, George.

I still can’t believe they named a character “Verruca”… Am I the only one who recognises the word? I swear I used to hear it a lot in the 90s, although I think it might only be in British English. “Verruca, noun, a contagious and usually painful wart on the sole of the foot; a plantar wart.”

Love to you 👍🏾

Note to self: don't watch George watch emotional Buffy episodes after two thirds of a bottle of wine, especially on a school night. Damn it.

I remember when you were about to watch this episode. Honestly I expected me ugly crying. Proud of you, Love.

I laughed at "she can't lipsync" 😂 the band whose songs are playing are called THC and are so good, but definitely tainted by her fake portrayal. They had a song on Angel too, I believe.

Spike really should have learned not to monologue at this point.

I think when Buffy told Oz "you might have a roomie in there" she inadvertently gave Oz the idea. Willow is a bit self-centered, in that she doesn't credit Oz for at least trying something to keep Veruca away from innocent people, it's all about her. That's been slowly but steadily being revealed, and can be traced back to how her parents neglected her and treated her like a study subject to some extent, and her insecurities. It's also why she turns to magic for quick fixes, it is something she can do well. I love Willow, but like everyone else on the show, she has flaws. None of the characters are perfect.

Was a good episode. Was sad to see Oz go, but understood as things unfolded later. Especially in the episode that actually got me to go back and give the series a chance, *Hush.* Another good react, George.

"that lipstick Veruca is ugly as shite!" 😂 the Giles and Spike thirst 💅

when willow cries, we all cry!

Bopping Parker with the stick was the best part of the ep!

Yes it’s sad and no one wants Willow to hurt but Oz was not integral to the storyline or character development of Buffy or the Scoobys. He was great but Seth Green was just being a breakout star in the surprise mega hit The Spy Who Shagged Me. Great character but one of the greatness of Buffy is losing a great one and replacing with someone that is also great We lost Cordelia to Angel and now we have Anya. Keep the faith . The seasons just getting revved up.

If Veruca was a good person and knew how to control herself as a werewolf, I think that Oz might have gotten closer to her to learn and could have still broken up with Willow. They have more in common. Even if he loved Willow there was something in him that still went for Veruca and I think that's why he left, he was disappointed in himself most likely and her life was at risk because she was dating him.
