Hello! I have some movie recommendations for you to react to that I’ve never seen anyone react to on KZbin really. And these are movies that really love so here it goes: now and then (with Christina ricci), uptown girls (w Brittany Murphy and Dakota fanning), babysitters club (1995), my sisters keeper (Cameron Diaz), nanny diaries (Scarlett Johansson), Chicago (musical), romy and Michelle, Monte Carlo (Selena Gomez), material girls (Hilary and Haley duff), the game plan (Dwayne Johnson), Kiki’s Delivery Service (Kirsten dunst), the little vampire (2000), sure and spice (2001)

First Date, I think this wasn't a particularly great episode, but entertaining nevertheless. As we have been led to believe we know there is more to Principal Wood, and of course he has an arsenal of knives and swords in a cupboard in the school as you would. When Buffy does go on the date with Wood, we see him in Jackie Chan/Jet Li mode as a martial arts master! We know as well that Xander seemed to get the date too easy with what Anya called the 'hardware whore', both Spike and Anya experiencing jealousy here. When Wood does come clean to Buffy he mentions his mother was a Slayer, and his mother's Watcher raised him. The part Ashanti played was written specially for her as she was a huge fan of the show, and as with Xander's previous experience with women we know that eventually she will be some sort of demon, as Willow said back in Something in S4 Blue to Xander 'you're a real demon magnet'. The First trying to work through Jonathan to Andrew is interesting, however as foolish and cowardly as he is, he seems to be doing the right thing this time. Funny when Willow gets the coded text from Xander trying to decode it. Spike appearing at the restaurant is funny playing gooseberry, but then we see Xander getting stabbed by Lissa/Ashanti. When they turn up to free Xander after the fight and Lissa is defeated, we see Buffy go to Spike, and we see Wood's face. Giles getting fed up of all the comedy is telling, and very telling scene when Buffy says to Spike she wants him to stay. Great final scene with Wood and his mother as The First Evil and telling him Spike killed her. A really good reveal here, that of course we always suspected leading to some great following episodes on that particular theme.

At least there focused on the right thing. Right Giles?
