Bargaining (Part 1): Buffy the Vampire Slayer 6x01 Reaction

That'll put marzipan in your pie plate bingo

[@killianlpc]

A lot of fans don't like S6 as they find it too dark, depressing and hard hitting. Personally I loved it with some intense episodes. Of course the show had now switched networks and had become more adult in tone and direction. In Bargaining we see the Buffybot still in action, and the gang trying to continue without Buffy, and of course the pending departure of Giles. They decide to resurrect Buffy as they just cannot bear it without her, but we know this will not be straight forward and have lasting repercussions. Some comic relief at the PTA meeting with the Buffybot embarrassing Dawn. Some great perceptions on Willow, we have had plenty of foreshadowing on her growing powers and addiction to magic. We see when Buffy does come back in the coffin she is totally shocked and is in pure panic, as we saw in Nightmares S1 one of her greatest fears was being buried alive. The Demon Biker Gang of course know Buffy is now a robot, and think they can take over with pure anarchy. It seems to be a metaphor for life without the Slayer. We shall see.

Season 6 was the perfect progression from Season 5 as the back end started to go darker in tone as the characters grew up and went through the worst trauma they faced at the time

[@x-man9473]

I don't think people "hated it because it was dark". Most people hate how this season destroyed all of the character arcs it build up over the past 5 seasons. Xander, Willow, Spike, Anya, etc.

[@ace360]

😂 Spike lighting that vamp on fire while tag teaming with Giles priceless 🤘

[@JustJayylj]

Please don’t say things like that 😳 it creeps me out

[@christophtoifl6848]

If someone at the end of S05 offered me a bet about Giles and Spike and said: One of them abandons the Scoobies after Buffys death and the other stays as a protector. I would have lost a lot of money...

[@treyokelly9662]

My favorite season! Lets go!

[@SlayerBoiProduction]

Anyone notice how she said “Big Snake huh?” Just like Harmony said to Willow in season 4!

[@JustJayylj]

The scariest thing about this episode is the vampire in the Hanson t-shirt

[@camannwordsmith]

"unless you're me - then it's Boffah!" I laughed out loud. 😂 Love it.

[@EKS511]

I really wish they could have done a Giles spinoff like they wanted to. Not sure why it didn’t happen.

[@Madbandit77]

There were some disagreements between JW and the BBC, which would have been a co-producer with Fox Television Studios, had the spin-off got the green light.

[@DaDunge]

8:30 A seance could have established where Buffy was. Talking to the dead requires way less amgic than bringing them back.

[@leesagar8651]

And Anthony turned fiction into reality here. When he left Buffy he actually left America to come home to England and be with his family.

[@trufamilybromontqc]

yeah buffys back :) ,loved the reaction :)

[@NanaAphesis]

15:54 Buffy's soul❤

[@godmagnus]

Willow did the telepathy thing with Spike last episode. Buffy's been dead 3 months, they went for cool looking corpse over scientifically accurate

[@ChrisCollins068]

Actually she was dead for 147 days which is almost 5 months

[@simon7982]

And her hair is dyed blonde, she's not natural blonde. So her coming back with brown hair, a bit longer than it was when she died is actually scientific. As the flesh retracts on a corpse, the hair does in fact 'grow' a bit after we die. Nails too.

[@christophtoifl6848]

​@@simon7982That's a myth, hair and nails don't grow after death, the body shrivels and exposes more of the hair and nails that is already there.

[@80smoviesfan]

Already crying on episode 1,in the season of tears. Better stock up on tissues.

[@JPT54]

You really need to see episode 3 asap. 1 and 2 of season 6 was a two parter together.

[@charmingjinx9379]

This Canadian wants to hear you say "buffet" and "Buffy" please.

[@anangelcalledtoday8750]

In England we pronounce buffet as either buffy or buffay, at least most of the ppl I've heard say it that way, how do Canadians pronounce it?

[@sherrysink3177]

Somewhere out there, Buffy is all, "Dakara! I can't believe you couldn't tell me apart from a robot!" 😉 At least you're in good company. I remember being confused by her presence at the start of this episode too, and none of the Scoobies figured it out either (in the episode the first time they came into contact with the Buffy bot, lol). I'm trying to remember what I thought at the time -- I think I wondered if it were a dream or something. Because how else could Buffy be there? She died!

[@nomohakon6257]

Hi Bambi! ... Bye Bambi.

[@Madbandit77]

Alyson cried during filming of the sacrifice scene.

[@MethosFilms]

God i am looking Forward to episode 7 really badly.

[@PurpleNurpleSPN]

I have a feeling it may be a 2 parter video... I don't know how I'll edit to down to something good in 1 video haha

[@Buffy8Fan]

Welcome to S6.

[@mj6866]

You might want to do a review of the movie WAR GAMES. It's a good movie and you would understand Xanders joke.

[@rexracer3221]

I miss Glory. She's a hard act to follow... I understand Giles going back to the UK, but why move back there permanently? He has a thriving business and the weather can't be beat in California.

[@xxSydneyFox]

I have chicken pox so this is going to cheer me up 😊

[@DakaraJayne]

Hope you feel better

[@MethosFilms]

Hope u feel better soon

[@Bobby-LeeChanning]

don't pick the scabs ...they will scar u for life 😕😕😕

[@XNSever]

Sarah Michelle Gellar is a natural brunette

[@Matthew-pj5zl]

Okay, at the 4:07 mark, can someone explain to me about that scene outside Dawn's school? I feel like I'd remember it, but I don't. So either I really don't remember it, or it's a deleted scene, in which case I want to find out what streaming service has the deleted scenes lol

[@timriehl1500]

I always wonder why another slayer wasn't called to Sunndale. I think it's been about three months since Buffy died.

[@Divertedflight]

Faith has to die for that to happen.

[@lucas.2.3.9.4]

Faith is the offical slayer of the world now

[@Tantalus010]

I like how you couldn't look at the camera when you said, "food is great, here in the UK."

[@MrLorenzovanmatterho]

Giles has to go back to England, he has a football team to run...

[@ShadowDogProduction]

I adore Dakara and would never doubt her integrity. But I ... don't believe her about the food. Lol

[@PurpleNurpleSPN]

as a brit, I agree! We do have some good food here. (and we even have apple pie too). We also have a very diverse range of foods brought from other cultures too that we've adopted.

[@ShadowDogProduction]

@@PurpleNurpleSPN I'm just teasing. But while we're here, what is your absolute favorite British dish?

[@PurpleNurpleSPN]

@@ShadowDogProduction ooh it's a tough one to choose. But a good roast dinner or a chicken tikka massala is definitely up there...

[@simon7982]

You're a bit slow on the uptake at times 😂😂😂

[@russellward4624]

Did you forget Buffy died that quickly? Or is that just repressing reality?
