Oh, and Giles was in a series of coffee commercials that play out like a sexy little soap opera between him and a neighbor. The whole thing takes about 10 minutes and is well worth a watch, if not a reaction

[@Ebbagull]

Oh, I would LOVE for this channel in particular to react to those! 🙏🏻😅

[@williambowman1660]

I really enjoy your enthusiasm, energy, and entertainment you bring to your reactions. I am a straight man and in 1997 I happened to watch Buffy on this odd network when it premiered. I liked the show very much but it grabbed me and never let go after Episode 5 . I found out that none of my friends had seen the show and most had not heard about it. But then something odd started to happen. Every girl I knew was watching Buffy and becoming fans. Soon I had a new way to talk to girls and to start with new girls.BTVS allowed me to enter the mystical and unknown… that is for most straight non athletes… world of teenage girls. BTVS jumpstarted my ability to talk with girls and learn that they were just as confused as I was. Buffy quickly became a staple of my life and to this day my favorite television show. It was on rewatching that I discovered the depth and brilliance of the show. But I still love the reactors and the journey into the Buffyverse. You are off to a great start and it is a kick to watch your commentary and hear your thoughts. Looking forward to being with you on the journey.

[@jasminelong3234]

You guys are getting into the true vibes of Buffy, which includes SUCH. GREAT. MUSIC. The Pack is one of my favorites because it's when the show starts to hit a groove and knows what kind of show it wants to be.

[@charmedoriginal5923]

Cody & Sergio, Buffy Ann Summers was born on January 19, 1981, making her a Capricorn.

[@heckman42]

There's an episode where she even jokes that she's "a Capricorn, on the cusp of Aquarius"

[@gloriebluestein9721]

I think it's shown at the end of season 5............... plus she has a birthday thing every season it must be mentioned some point

[@spamfilter32]

Buffy has 3 different birthdays given in season 1. Including 2 different dates given in ep 8. Buffy's birthday isn't established as at the end of Jan until season 2

[@charmedoriginal5923]

@spamfilter32 There is the one that pops up on the computer, showing her info as 10/24/80. What was the other one in episode 1x08 ? What episode & scene was the third one shown / mentioned in ?

[@spamfilter32]

@charmedoriginal5923 later in I Robot, You Jane, the computer says Buffy's birthday is 5/6/1979. The next time Buffy's birthday is hinted at is in Nightmares. The month and day are not specified, but the year of her birth (1981) is written on her headstone when Giles and the Scoobies are at her grave; is different than the 2 listed on IRYJ,

[@RedrumHorror]

Honestly I never realy got I to that series but if they could do a supernatural reaction that would be epic

[@BlaiseRashelHarman10]

like I'm actually obsessed with the combo and that each of them is showing the other the show for the first time, like this is what love looks like

[@Scarshadow666]

Cool fact about hyenas: They have one of the most complex social hierarchies - while female hyenas will always usually be the most dominant over males, they also have different coalitions that they form with their own group of leading females. So if this episode followed hyena dynamics more closely, Xander and the rest of the guys of the pack would not only be submissive every time women raised their voices, there'd be in-fighting between the two girls. I'll admit it's nitpicking on my end - hyena magic probably doesn't need to be biologically accurate for the point of the episode's story, lol. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@migmit]

And maybe Xander was possessed by a female hyena? Gay female hyena, perhaps?

[@Scarshadow666]

@@migmit That's a good theory! Like the hyena possessions went based off what's closer to their physiology (female hyenas have pseudo-dicks, so it's possible that female hyenas could be just possessing Xander/the bully gang in general).

[@silvsevie]

I think xander became the defacto leader, because in the moment of possesion he was the stronger one putting the other four in their place. so he became the pack leader regardless of biology.

[@RawrxBexJealous]

How dare he disrespect Willow like that with that slander. She is a sweetheart and deserves the world! 😭💔 Also justice for Herbert the pig! 😭 The amount of trauma those bullies have to deal with now knowing they literally ate their principal is wild 😳 Loved the reaction y’all. Loving this series so far! 🙃🖤

[@Karen-wr2lw]

I’m loving your reaction to Buffy and I can’t wait for you to get to my favorite seasons 😍🤩

[@gacchan]

The Pack is one of my fave episodes of all time. Especially when you consider that in order to be the leader, Xander likely would have been possessed by a female hyena! And he remembers everything, even if he never talks about it. I always think about that.

[@AshLee92490]

I imagine it's a very traumatizing experience lol...

[@invadertifxiii]

mine too

[@invadertifxiii]

@@AshLee92490 i dont know how i feel about some folks feeling about the situation. i read they think xander doesnt have to take accountability for his actions by pretending to not remember

[@AshLee92490]

@@invadertifxiii Why would he need to take accountability to something that wasn't even his fault? Like I said, he was the one LITERALLY possessed. I imagine that was a traumatizing experience on XANDER'S end, not to mention violating, but people ignore that part or simplu, especially because most fans are very dismissive of Xander, and whatever he has to deal with, compared to the other characters. If it was Willow in the same position, fans wouldn't be like, "Oh, Willow lied about remembering the bad things she did while possessed?! How awful!", but would ve more "Poor Willow 🥺"...

[@mirandasaralyn]

Yes! Daddy bear indeed.

[@KitsuneRokaku]

In some promotional merchandise called the Sunnydale Yearbook, it reveals that the blond haired hyena girl became a vegetarian after eating Flutie. Seeing how Xander remembers his actions as hyena boy, makes sense that they all remember what they did.

[@MrLorenzovanmatterho]

I loved the picture of Willow and the cheerleaders, hint, hint...

[@AshLee92490]

That's actually a misconception about hyenas and lions. Probably because of The Lion King lol. Lions are bigger, faster, and stronger, but hyenas also have the numbers (they can get over 100 members). If I'm mistaken, Lions actually will scavenge off of hyenas more than the other way around. Hyenas have one of the top success kill rates in the world. Becausee they work as a group, when they hunt, they can run for a really long time (and their prey are usually still alive when theyvstart eating, but they let the younger ones eat first, the opposite of lions, so that's cute). "Pack" is one of the terms of a group of hyenas, as well as "clan" and "cackle" (lions are "pride").

[@Scarshadow666]

Very true! They also have one of the most complex social hierarchies! ^^

[@StobieWan22]

This is my favourite tv show EVER!!!! I’ve seen the episodes multiple times and I cannot wait till you get to my favourite episode ❤

[@ernesthakey3396]

Hey, we met Jessie at the beginning of the show, and he died and got turned in between the 1st and 2nd episodes and then got dusted! High stakes pretty much from the beginning... :) Jessie's death doesn't get mentioned much, but it clearly had a lasting impact on Xander, who was holding the stake that dusted his former friend.

[@moramorandobianchi7093]

I know someone else mentioned but I needed to say it again: you need to watch Repo! The Genetic Opera if you like Anthony Steward Head, he sings there (a lot!) and it's a movie with a lot of gore so you could count it as horror js... Anyway, I don't like how out of nowhere the whole Owen thing comes, but I understand why they did it, hated how Cordelia acted this episode, come on girl, you're better than that lol.

[@killianlpc]

Flutie went out way too early. The Pack was An interesting episode mirroring gang culture and pressure that comes with it. One of the best episodes of S1 but stick with it, this show just matures into an incredible show in later series. We see Xander as a really nasty person once under the influence of the pack, turning on Willow with very hurtful remarks, once again showing how this can happen with peer pressure to maybe impress others. A pretty decent episode for S1. On small technical criticism of the title is Hyenas are usually referred to collectively as a Clan, not a Pack. Anyway great X-Files reference in this episode when Buffy says to Giles 'stop trying to Scully me'.

[@franqk1997]

You should start watching Angel's series at the same time you start season 4 of Buffy. Some episodes connects both series and is fun to watch.

Playing catch-up with your Buffy playlist. : ) Super Xander-fan here. What absolutely infuriates me about this fandom, is that even as early as season one, the fandom is so busy hating on Xander they ignore Willow's huge red flag in this episode. She's exhibiting grade-a stalker behavior. The girl knows his blood pressure. The only way she could know that is if she hacked his medical records at the hospital OR she hacked his school records from his last physical. Everyone ignores that though, because Willow is the fandom darling. Then when she does something shady in later episodes people always seem so surprised.

[@dylanlewisalegre]

Also, new comment, but Mark Metcalfe as the Master ate. Rewatching this older he definitely gives some good camp.

[@johncampbell756]

The band in the first episode is Velvet Chain. They were heavily involved in the fandom. Tge main peolle are the dinger abd her husband, the bassist, who passed in 2020. The fiest band I saw after moving to LA. They became friends of mine. I like watching David/Angel move to stay in the shot when Buffy is trying to tell Owen he can't come to the funeral home. The Pack is the episode that officially hooked me. It showed Nick had some range. Random thing I recently learned. If you have ever watched Smosh, cast member Olivia Sui is engaged (or now married to) Sam Lerner, son of Ken Lerner, Principal Flutie's son. My guess is the rest of thepack kids are in a mental asylum for the criminally insane.

[@EmmaJean81]

When I tell ya that this episode at the time (ahhh bless the 90s) made everyone realise how HOTT Xander was haha 😍😍

[@trinitybernhardt9944]

The Pack really showed the show is ok with being dark. It changed the vibe and I loved it. Season 1 is not my fave. It is up and down as they figured out what they are doing, but still a great show. I feel like every 90s/early 2000s show needed an excuse to throw in a good character commits SA, but it's not really their fault ep. Definitely hard to watch those eps now, but I remember the culture. I was 11 when Buffy first aired and I never missed an episode. Xander didn't age as well as other characters. Back then he was such a normal guy we didn't see red flags like at all. Maybe that is why I still like him, though I know he has issues. I hate the actor, but I can mostly separate. It broke my heart when Willow basically blamed Buffy. That had to hurt Buffy so much when she has done nothing but be a friend to them. A lot of people feel like Xander being able to fake memory loss made it so Buffy couldn't deal with her trauma. I feel a lot of conflicting emotions. Characterwise I am ok with it. I think everyone kind of understood he was possessed and not in control of his actions. Culturally: yes, if looking at cultural responsibility it was swept under the rug big time. It could be compared to a guy getting drunk, and that is no excuse irl. So on that level they dropped the ball, but it is hard to apply that comparison to a main character. This is closer a metaphor than say demon possession because it isn't a separate mind. It is a ramping up of his natural desires, kind of like how being drunk isn't someone else being in control. That said, I disagree with anyone who says this proves Xander is capable of or desiring to SA normally. Unless someone is asexual or something similar we all have sexual thoughts or desires. You ramp it up 1000% in any of us we are capable. It doesn't mean we are all you know at heart. I can understand almost any take on this episode but that one. This comment went heavy but Xander discussions are big in almost every group I am in. This is a central ep for it. I love this show because all our characters are complex and have strengths and weaknesses. Women, especially Buffy, have been shown to be Xander's. He is head over heels for her and being a child with no real good influences he is terrible at dealing with it.

[@MariaCJ]

I would love to see y'all react the Buffy movie, which is a prequel to the show.

[@killianlpc]

Never Kill A Boy On The First Date I thought was one of the weakest episodes of S1 to be fair. The first season was very low budget and erratic as show was finding it's feet. You will notice a massive step up mid way through S2 and as it goes forward it just gets better and better. Great that you are enjoying the show after only five episodes. You will love this show as it moves forward. An interesting thing in this episode is we are shown that Buffy is just a teenage girl, with all the desires and urges that go along with that, and just wants a 'normal' life too, which we know is just not possible.
