Bel Watches Buffy 4x04 "Fear Itself" Reaction

[@enicole1203]

Being able to conflate Red Robin, Robin Hood, and Little Red Riding Hood in one comment takes TALENT. 😄

[@danzthename]

Cat cuteness overload!

[@sirmoonslosthismind]

moral of the story -- face your fear, and you find it's a lot smaller than you expected.

[@havok6280]

That's what she said...

[@heleni0]

I vividly remember how HILARIOUS I found that 'actual size' gag when I was fourteen. It's like a core memory at this point

[@Sisnerdly]

My kids watched this when they were little , like 9 or 10, and they thought that was the funniest thing EVER! My son walked around the house for days saying "Feeeear meeee, Bow to meeee". They aren't crazy Buff-heads like I am, but they remember that episode clearly & fondly. Their in their 20s now. Thanks for wathcing Helenio!

Frat dude: *Falls down stairs and dies horrifically* Sisnerdly's cat: *licks butt*

[@Sisnerdly]

🤣🤣 She's been trying to take me out like that for years!🪜🐈🤕

[@The-Underbaker]

Xander: Who's a little Fear Demon? C'mon... Giles: Don't taunt the Fear Demon. Xander: Why, can he hurt me? Giles: No, it's just tacky.

[@Sisnerdly]

I love that little exchange! Ofc I had to keep it in the edit. LOL!

[@midnightmadness7156]

Also this is the earliest Buffy episode I remember seeing live on tv when I was a kid. It's amongst one of my favorites.

[@MsKimifer]

How messed up is it that Xander disappeared 5 minutes into the haunted house and no one noticed he was gone until like, mid episode?

[@Sisnerdly]

Yes, I loved that, bcs he was feeling left out in the beginning of the episode, somewhat forgotten and ignored by his friends - so that fear manifests in the house. And YES they hardly even noticed he was gone, which means his fear of being abandoned by his friends isn't just something he's imagining, it has some truth to it. Scary stuff! Thanks MsKimifer!

[@MrLorenzovanmatterho]

Your kitty is so cute!

[@Buffy8Fan]

One of my favorite things about this episode is seeing how many college kids would dress up for any Haloween event. In some ways that's the most unrealistic part of the episode. The _Beer Bad_ trailer comes off so serious.

[@Sisnerdly]

Spoliler Alert!........ 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 Bel loves Beer Bad! LOL!

[@Buffy8Fan]

@@Sisnerdly SAME SPOILER ALERT Doesn't mean it's as serious as the trailer is making it out to be.

[@Sisnerdly]

@@Buffy8Fan 🤣It is the opposite of serious! These trailers are too funny sometimes. They *really* try to bring you in with all the drama and then you watch and it's literally "Cave-Buffy". Not the only example of that happening tho. More to trailers that are not what they say they are to come. LOL! Thanks for always watching Buffy8Fan!🫶

[@Buffy8Fan]

@@Sisnerdly I agree in that regard. I guess it's the fo-seriousness that can be amusing, when at the time they assumed they were being serious, that makes them all the way they are.

[@sherrysink3177]

A super fun episode from season 4. Got to love those Halloween themed episodes! 😄🎃👻 And best of all... Anya's scariest costume ever. 😉🐰🤣

[@kbachelder]

Great to have you folks back! This episode is definitely one of the best.

[@METerrell]

A lot of help it was to have the Black Power Ranger around. (Edward, one of the Frat Brats) Oz needs to be more careful & not drip his werewolf blood on symbols on the floor. It's just a good thing that Gaknar was so tiny. I think you two should watch The Owl House sometime. I think you'd both like it.

[@reneeg9406]

Always read the fine print 🤣🤣

[@midnightmadness7156]

You both look gorgeous! 😍

[@Sisnerdly]

Thank you!! 😊😊

[@williambowman2326]

Agree

[@CoolEnginesChristytrekkie]

Huh as many a time as I have watched this episode, Never notice the Hellcome mat. wow

[@reneeg9406]

One thing i never got clarity on: would any blood have activated it, or was it only because it was wolf blood 🤔

[@Sisnerdly]

Good question! I never even thought of that!

[@Nexusofgeek]

@@Sisnerdly probably any blood because the book/spell wasn't specific

[@williambowman2326]

Never qualifies but wolf blood does have more evil , except for Parker, than a human. One of our group asked that question the next day and no one could answer then.

[@reneeg9406]

This is 2nd to Hush as my favorite episode of the season

[@reneeg9406]

Internet community.... Best friends I've had in 25 years 🤷💕💕

[@Sisnerdly]

Yes! I found some real ones online. Not so much irl. But it could be do to the fact that I rarely leave my house. LOL!

[@reneeg9406]

There really are some real ones 🥰🥰

[@ernesthakey3396]

Fun one! Not too serious, but fun.

[@feudist]

Nice giggly reaction to a funny episode. I...don't think Xander likes Anya because she's annoyed him into it, more she's high and right on the Crazy/Hot Matrix. Just a teensy bit above the "Don't stick it in Crazy" border.

[@williambowman2326]

Fun reaction and appropriate for the episode. Simple premise but in the Buffy style. I must be only person that has thought of it weird that Buffy would play the eternal dumb victim,come on walking through the woods alone and wearing red?. Then she is going to the party with a werewolf? Isn’t that a slap at Oz? I understood that Buffy was weakened in Helpless and feels vulnerable after Parker, Angel, and the new school but Lil Red Riding Hood? And why does Joyce talk about her useless husband to a sad Buffy?

[@Sisnerdly]

Good points, all. I have to admit that convo with Buffy and her mom felt a little misplaced. I guess this is Buffy seeking advice from her mom for her Post Parker Depression, but it was a bit of a strange insert in this episode. I think Buffy dressing up as little red is supposed to make her look helpless or something...hmm 🤔Helpless, trapped in a house with a demon, wearing a red coat...maybe this episode is giving a nod to Helpless in S3. Lol! Or perhaps she's just trying to be extra incognito. Like "I'm not a slayer, I'm just a weak little victim on my way to grandmas house." Throwing anyone off her scent. Thankfully, she packed her weapons. Loll! Thanks for watching William

[@havok6280]

Cute haircuts all around...

[@kimsbookcorner8483]

For Xander I prefer Cordy also I really like Riley

I've got a theory It could be bunnies

[@namjoonswife3300]

Did you guys finish Stranger Things?

[@Sisnerdly]

Nope. 🥲 The reactions kept getting blocked on KZbin and no one on Patreon was watching them, so we hung that up and just focused on Buffyverse. I haven't watched it tho, just in case we decide to do it later.

[@namjoonswife3300]

@@Sisnerdly 😥😥

[@keithhunt5328]

I thought yall stopped watching

[@Sisnerdly]

No way! We just got super busy with new jobs. KZbin uploads took a hit bcs they take some extra time to edit. We're still going, slowly, but we goin! Thanks for watching keith!

[@killianlpc]

Fear Itself was not one of my favourite episodes. S4 had its problems with direction after the high school years, this episode of one of those very average episodes, most interesting part is the part with Oz's fear. There is much better to come. I thought this was a bit of a rehash of Nightmares from S1 which in fact was a much better episode than this. Some comic relief with the size of the demon, but that's about it. Strangely enough on re-watch of BTVS you always pick up on something new each time the bleeding on the symbol very significant. Again its all very subjective some people like this episode a lot, I much preferred Nightmares from S1 and Halloween from S2.

[@Sisnerdly]

I love all those episodes! This one too, but Halloween S2 is SPECIAL!. I love the fact that they still reference turning into their costumes and have continued to use that idea even in non-halloweeny episodes. It was genius! Thanks killian!
