I guess we should have expected it from an episode called "Double Meat Palace." On a scale of 1-10, how gross was this episode for you?

[@williambowman2326]

8

[@jsb331]

Solid 8

[@Merilirem]

0 as a vegetarian. Didn't register as food and penis monster is nothing new.

[@donnilloyd1355]

5-7. I worked in fast food in college. LOL

[@seanmcmurphy4744]

3. Never did fast food. Did work in the cafeteria dishroom during college

[@thekatanaist]

Buffy had decpitation, dismemberment, lesbians, monsters, allegories of grooming, teen suicide, and kids eating a pig alive. And the one time Joss made advertisers nervous was when he showed life at a fast food restaurant.

[@zemoxian]

The weirdest part is that as disturbing the episode is, i’m usually hungry for burgers afterwards.

[@lonetardigrade]

​@@zemoxianhopefully for a wholesome homemade burger and not a burger from McDonald's because their burgers are not 100% beef. Am I talking about fillers in the patties or something else? Who knowsssss 😂

But ironically, not the first or only time Joss Whedon has had a giant penis monster attack women. Not even the second. Or third. Or fourth…

[@dlweiss]

I love how most of Buffy is like "these supernatural forces are metaphors for the struggles of adolescence" but then once in a while there's an episode that's just like "hey what if we showed you some FUCKED UP NIGHTMARE FUEL just for kicks, lol?"

[@jp3813]

To be fair, this episode does cover the struggles of working a dead end and minimum wage job.

[@macuna1995]

It sucks seeing Buffy fall into the fast food void of boredom, her skill set should place her in a more fulfilling position. Too relatable.

One must work fast food to fully appreciate this.

[@ernesthakey3396]

Working as a dishwasher in a regular restaurant can be enlightening too, though not to the same extent. And working dining service at the dining hall in the basement of my dorm at MIT was also a fun experience. Fast food is at the bottom of the food service pyramid...

[@pauldavis5665]

This episode was able to almost capture how horrifying it is to work in fast food.

[@BRCBrick]

BtVS was on UPN at this point, and the makers of the show said the only time the network gave them any notes or pushback was for this episode because UPN was worried they were gonna be making fun of fast food restaurants, and therefore piss-off the fast food sponsors for the network

[@chaost4544]

This episode has aged way better over time. The social commentary is on point.

Halfrek's job is a Vengeance Demon. She has to trick Women into wishing bad on their man. Remember in The Wish where Anya was trying to get Cordy to wish bad things to happen to Xander? Its the same thing

[@Ren_Davis0531]

Relationships are more than just love. It’s about compatibility. Spike may love her (even though it’s really more obsession), but his life isn’t compatible with her. Being with Spike doesn’t actually help Buffy with her own self-loathing and depression. She can’t function in her day to day life and feels like she is living in hell. Spike doubles down on those feelings to bring Buffy down to his level as opposed to uplifting her to make her feel more complete. This is why it’s a toxic relationship. It’s not built on a healthy foundation, thus nothing solid can ever last. It’s a wild night of passionate lust, but once that’s over nothing is left but shame. You can’t be in love with someone you’re ashamed to be with. That’s not healthy.

[@bernardsoul5186]

Well said. They do get it, though, Marketa and Suraj both acknowledged that very point

[@zemoxian]

@@bernardsoul5186 I think a lot of Spuffy shippers don’t seem to get it. I think they’re under Spike’s thrall.

[@cajah88]

@@zemoxian The thing about shippers of fictional relationships is that the often willingly ignore a lot of the negatives and amplify the positives instead. In the case of Spuffy, it's just that they like the chemistry/"excitement" or find them more entertaining than the alternatives.

[@corentin67]

I hope u said all of this because u havent finish the show and comics yet... and at this point of the show u right, thats not healthy. But in a way, they need it, they need both to be were they are together to change after. Actually Spike allows to Buffy to explore her own darksides, and thats is necessary for her to fully reborn and become again well. I dont want to say to much for the one who are still watching (and my english must be bad sorry lol)

[@seaport7421]

You know most Spuffy shippers are fully aware that the relationship is toxic in this season, and they are supporting the relationship after a certain change is made, and they both actually DO start to uplift each other?

[@nathanielbacon2661]

Just a note, whenever you guys credit Joss with making all the creative decisions...by Season 6, he wasn't even the showrunner anymore. It was Marti Noxon for seasons 6 and 7. Buffy was the excellent work of many people. ❤

[@houstonhughes184]

It definitely was always the work of many people like all television and film, but just to clarify... Joss wasn't the everyday on set showrunner for this season (because of Firefly and the prep for Once More With Feeling), but Marti Noxon has said that he still oversaw everything and all the story arcs came from him as usual. She was implementing his plans, as detailed in the biography by Amy Pascale.

[@TheBloobster]

I been looking forward to this one for a long time. I've never looked forward to this episode before lol. But this couch loved the cheesy season 1 so much that I figured this would be perfect for them.

[@Uatu-the-Watcher]

Buffy should order The Council to put her on payroll, generously. She’s the reason for their existence. I was surprised that wasn’t already in place.

[@shaneord7527]

Imo, buffy should be paid by the watchers Council from working age. They have the funds.

[@TomsTube]

Watching this episode as a young teen made me swear off working at a fast-food place…. Didn’t stop me eating at them though 😅

[@katevand]

We're here! We're here! So! This was my first episode of Buffy I watched on Tuesday night on a fuzzy UPN channel in Fort Wayne, IN, 8pm that was airing live. I was very confused but kept up with it the rest of this season and watched the episodes early in the morning on FX Mon-Friday. This season is just ramping up.

[@Animalfriend777]

The thing about Amy im thinking is that is that she kinda psychologically still, what 15/16 the age she was when she was turned into a rat. makes sense she wouldn't be as emotionally mature

[@JHowesitgoing123]

Yeah, as fucked up as the things she does are, I can't help but sympathize with her a bit. It doesn't excuse her actions but still.

My personal favorite thing about this episode is that Buffy freaking out telling everybody the food is people is a nod to Soylent Green but also telegraphing the twist about the double-meat, which in this case isn't meat at all but plants (contrasting with Soylent Green which was people not plankton).

Idk if anyone has pointed it out yet, but Helfrek is played by the same lady as Cecily from Spike's flashback, idk if it's ever confirmed but some say she was a vengeance demon even back then

[@gamingeagle19]

The show almost entirely confirms this to be the case since she and Spike recognize each other later.

[@ernesthakey3396]

Spoilers for an upcoming episode... It has been suggested based on the timeline (and I think maybe confirmed) that she was already a vengeance demon at the time, and she rejected William because she was there to exact some vengeance (she must have been working on it for a while) on a whole group of entitled "gentlemen", and she knew William wasn't one of the ones deserving of her wrath. What is shown in the series only a couple episodes from now is that she recognizes Spike but calls him William, ie his name as a human before he was turned, so it does seem likely that she was indeed the same character, whether or not she was a vengeance demon at the time.

[@Magis_Ghast]

@@ernesthakey3396 interesting points!

[@Green528]

​@@ernesthakey3396The issue I have with that theory is that when Spike tells his mother he has his eye in someone doesn't she refer to her as that (whatever the family name was ) girl suggesting she has always been around (unless vengeance demons can supplant false memories) or its one heck of a long vengeance gig. Probably thought too much about that lol. I know there is a comic regarding this so not sure how it's addressed

[@ernesthakey3396]

@@Green528 actually that's not a counterargument, at least according to the Buffy wiki, because apparently his mother heard the name Cecily and made an incorrect assumption: "Cecily Underwood was the eldest daughter of her family circa 1880. Anne Pratt guessed she would be the subject of her son's poems, and described her as "lovely". William denied it, though,[1] as he was enamored instead with Cecily Addams.[2]" So the Cecily who was the vengeance demon was Miss Addams...probably she had inserted herself into the social scene, and just made up the name. Or did she? The spelling of that name could just be the writers giving a nod to the Addams family, but... 😉

I accidentally ate a couple pot cookies. I used to smoke, but gave it up, cause I didn’t enjoy it. It just made me kinda paranoid & all that.

I went home, where I stayed up most of the night, not enjoying myself. It was a little rough. I then had to wait tables for the lunch rush at Olive Garden. Not a great day😞

[@williambowman2326]

Fantastic reactions . Your enthusiasm and laughter is so infectious . This episode has so much going on and you guys nailed it. Remember that duality has been a theme of the show from the beginning. Buffy is now , due to events beyond her control, assuming the roles that Joyce and Faith occupied. Like Joyce, Buffy is a working single Mother. Joyce did not enjoy her job but had to provide suddenly on her own for her daughter. Joyce was ill equipped , like Buffy is now and we are seeing an emotionally upset teenager, Dawn, like Buffy. Remember we learned that Buffy was shoplifting ( Becoming Part 1) while her parents were fighting leading up to the divorce. Buffy no longer has her full emotional support group. Giles and Joyce are out of her life. Angel and Cordelia are in LA and Oz is traveling somewhere. Willow is fighting her dark demon and Xander is focused on his life. Like Faith, Buffy is seeking emotional contact and remember Faith used sex for comfort and any connection with someone. Faith had the earmarks of a depressed girl and we did not see much joy from Joyce.( Goodness she was engaged to a homicidal cyborg). Yes , a depressed Buffy is using Spike but he is using Buffy to satisfy is obsessive desires. Spike mixes lust, violence, obsession, and immature love that only Buffy can handle. It’s easy to see this has only a satire of the service food industry but it is also the place dreams and talent goes to die. A strong, independent, and talented woman ( Buffy) can only wither in a non descript world of conformity that stifles personal growth. Double Meat Palace could easily be a corporate bank, insurance company, or government agency. Success is defined by compliance and longevity. Buffy is at a crossroads in her ultimate journey for the show, becoming a woman on her own terms. She had to sort out the maternal part and her sexual being that she will be as a woman. This choice is what derails so many women. Emotional connection, responsibility, sexual satisfaction, and being an individual free from outside influences of control will be her final steps. Sadly they are the most difficult.

[@jonathanwalker9429]

I think Amy hit Willow with that spell out of spite. She was right by the rat cage with an odd look on her face when they were talking, and she brings up Willow not undoing the rat spell all those years when she’s at the door.

[@arc7375]

Watchers are paid to oversee the active Slayer. Slayers are “unpaid tools of the council.” This is moronic. And moreover, _impractical._ The active Slayer should be sponsored by the council. Their accommodation should be arranged by the council, and they should have a salary awarded to them for fighting the war on evil, especially considering the watchers are paid to just sit around and advise when necessary. If the Slayer had her accommodation provided and salary awarded, that means she can focus exclusively on waging the war on evil. Stressing about money for food, housing, bills and having to work to earn this would leave no time for the Slayer to sleep, her days always working the day and slaying the night. It also means Slayers from impoverished backgrounds like Faith would likely never have fallen to the dark side, had they actually been supported with the most basic human necessities.

[@desarae9778]

Gotta disagree with Suraj on Halfrek being a pot-stirrer. In Once, Anya and Xander's little duet reveals a lot of their fears and insecurities. The pot was already stirred. Halfrek was just pointing out what she could clearly see after just a few minutes of interaction and conversation with Anya. On another note, the Scoobies bug me in this episode with their yet again, dismissive attitude toward Buffy's concerns about something go on at Doublemeat. You would think that after years of fighting evil together, the gang would learn to trust her instincts but they fail again at this. Yes, Willow comes to help at the end, but one could argue she did that to avoid the issue she was having with magic or seeking out comfort from the gang for herself as she struggled. Buffy has her flaws yes, but this is yet another common theme with the Scoobies, along with their inability to actually have adult conversations, that really irritates me the more times I watch this amazing show.

[@RectPropagation]

Yeah, "Let's all doubt Buffy" is super annoying every time it happens.

[@withxoutxlife]

To be fair, the only thing truly wrong with the workers, was that they had spent far too long working in fast food. Those types of jobs can destroy you as a person. But yes, when Buffy feels that the vibes are off, its almost always for a very good reason.

Big headcanon. The actress that plays Halfrek also played the lady Spike was in love with back when he was still human. You can see her in that episode rejecting Spike.
