Buffy the Vampire Slayer 4x11 & 4x12 REACTION | "Doomed" & "A New Man"

[@hannahawesome85]

Buffy: “I told you. I-I said end of the world and you’re like ‘poo-poo southern California, poo-poo!” 😂😂😂

[@dlweiss]

I love when James Marsters does "British Guy doing a Bad American Accent" at 17:38 - since he's actually American in real life.

[@hannahawesome85]

Just commented the same thing. 😅😄

[@ashleym780]

I was about to comment this too 😂

[@charmingjinx9379]

It's a testament to the skill of the actor. I mean, how do you come up with that? Maybe he asked Anthony Head to try speaking like he thinks Americans speak?

[@RetroRobotRadio]

@@dlweiss I have listened to several British Doctor Who audiobooks where they have British voice actors trying to do an American accent... This was pretty spot-on.

[@CarolinaGirl6919]

It's like he spoke a quadruple negative or something. So, I think it basically probably tore a hole in the space-time continuum. But it's okay, because he's he's spike, and I'd forgive him for anything...😉🥰😆

[@zenithquasar9623]

“Balls.” Poster on boys’ dorm and “Chocolate” poster on girls’ dorm just crack me up so much!

[@MsKimifer]

15:27 you can see the cheerleading statue of Amy's mom lying in the middle of the hallway. 😅 She must be so bored

[@adgato75]

I wonder what happens if it is destroyed ? Is she freed, or killed ?

[@Lillydelwood]

Omg never noticed

[@natbatlightwood5288]

Good eye, i've rewatched this show over and over and i've never spotted that. So something to keep an eye out for next time i watch the show.

[@caitlin329]

I like Spike working out that even though he can't physically hurt people, he can still do so psychologically

[@josephdavis9234]

In this episode, a guy starts feeling insecure when he learns his new girlfriend has a high body count.

[@arc7375]

Accurate!

[@TheSoulwriter88]

“Let’s get to Slaying!” I need a shirt with that on there, maybe a stake on there as well. Love you two!! ❤😂❤

[@Gaydunaway]

Ethan Rayne is my favourite recurring character, criminally underused.

[@RetroRobotRadio]

@@Gaydunaway the actor was also a reoccurring Minbari alien on Babylon 5.

[@arc7375]

He died not long after, I believe. Tragic. :(

[@nagashthegod]

​@@RetroRobotRadio And the big bad Sarris in Galaxy Quest. Plus a lot of characters in the original Dragon Age which I always forget until I replay it, and Zaeed Massani in Mass Effect 2/3.

[@tmpreardon4200]

Listen, 4x12 is low-key one of my favorites. I love Ethan Rayne (and his episodes Halloween from season 2 and Band Candy from season 3). I love Giles. The character is in a rut and he is feeling left out. Anthony Stewart Head is very funny. And, I *LOVE* the dumb/great (or great/dumb) moment: -"I thought you were a myth." - "Well, you were myth-taken" Quite possibly the most Buffy line from Buffy. Somehow cringe and charming at the same time.

[@dutchkel]

Myth line is my 2nd fav behind another one in this episode where Riley asks what Buffy is and she says 'Capricorn on the cusp of Aquarius, you?'

[@arc7375]

“Scythe matters” - _All men in the room look blankly._

[@killianlpc]

Doomed was a great fun episode with the comedy between Spike and Xander hilarious. It's almost like the 'Odd Couple' the two of them in the basement is a sitcom I would pay to watch. The last part when Spike gets recognised by Riley and tries to put on an American accent was hilarious, and then trying to get Willow and Xander to go out with him and try and kill something, 'oh come on', great comedy.

[@lepeke]

Doorway tip: I went to elementary school in California and standing in a doorway for earthquakes was drilled into us.

[@reneeg9406]

I can only imagine it was. I lived my whole life in the Northeast and I remember being taught about it as a child. Even though the only time I ever heard about an earthquake even close to my area it was barely enough to register on the scale, and mild enough that people were like "No! Seriously? We had 1? How did I miss it?"

[@RJC-29]

FYI theres a fantastic spoiler-free Buffy rewatch podcast called Buffering, they have some cast interviews, and since one of the hosts is a musician every recap has an original song about the episode. ❤

[@TheMacerica]

Great podcast! They have some really interesting guests, too, like the person they had on to talk about the Thanksgiving episode.

[@wterry20002000]

It's ok. They get a little too holier then thou when it comes to Xander but if you skip over it it's fine

[@blotcho84]

Loving your Buffy reactions! 10:21 The demons in this ep had serious wrestling moves! If there was a ladder they would've climbed up and leg-dropped Buffy 😆 27:41 Everything Riley did here, from the adorable puppy grin to the kip-up made me say "Hold on a SECOND" too! 😋

[@johncampbell756]

Ethan is not a demon. He's just a guy who likes to play with evil and chaos. Demon Giles chasing Walsh is great. I wish it lasted longer.

[@christopherdirenzo4704]

“Just Kidding!” Two of my favorite words in the whole show 🤣

[@ashleym780]

Cody “she’s no Giles!” Exactly! Only Giles’s tells us what to do! 😂

[@RetroRobotRadio]

17:55 the poster says "Balls" at the top. The bottom says "only two count".

[@Freshbreaddeb]

I canNOT wait for yall to watch the last episode of this season

[@TomRiddle92]

Giles is like Buffy's Step/God father. Not official but, with how much they care about and worry about each other it's thought of as that.

[@adgato75]

I mean, he was going to walk her down thee aisle even though her actual father is still alive. So yeah lol

[@Magale1978]

Tara ❤

[@diegobacellar84]

Guys, Im Brazilian, and this show means so much to me. And Im completly in love with your reactions!! Congrats!! You guys are great!!

[@tracim3080]

24:01 Just to be clear Xander has killed more vampires/demons 😂🤣

[@talesyuki]

Hah. To get two Horror Bandwagon videos in a day. What blessed times we're living in.

[@migmit]

I don't think Spike remembers Riley. But with Riley's fashion sense, it's kinda obvious who he is.

Buffy Thursday's are the BEST THURSDAYS!!! 🖤🖤🖤

[@oscarstoker]

If I remember right, Emma Caulfield changed her hair every episode. no spoiler but there is a joke about it in the future.

[@corgiluver9718]

Buffy and Agatha in the same day, yeah! Two good episodes with lots of humor: Spike trying to stake himself and Demon Giles chasing the fishwife are favorites.

[@arc7375]

A lot of fans attribute Forrest’s general disdain for Buffy as being because Forrest himself has feelings for Riley.

[@afry6400]

Naw, I think it's more of a best buds divided by a girl thing. He's more jealous of the time she's getting with Riley.

[@arc7375]

@@afry6400 Certainly could be! Maybe I should have clarified by stating that it’s a common fan _joke._ And it makes rewatching season four with the idea that Forrest wants to date Riley absolutely hilarious. 🤣

[@Buckaroo_Baldwin]

I never understood that reading of the character, I mean he was into Buffy himself when he first saw her, he pushed Riley into asking her out in the first place he only had an issue with her when he found out she wasn't just a pretty ditzy college freshman, it seems to be much more a "Bros before...." type situation than a closeted gay guy in love with his best friend and hating in his girl. Also it would be really shitty of the writers to do a character like that, considering what happens later this season, and what the writers said they wanted to portray.

[@xyex]

RIP Foriley 💔

[@johncspine2787]

@@Buckaroo_Baldwin Forrest went sour on Buffy as soon as she encroached on “his” territory, when Riley worked professionally with her, and when she kicked all their butts in the training exercise..then the cap was when Riley looked like he was defecting..(not a spoiler now, they’re way past all this)

[@sugardares]

I think 411 is intended to get you onboard the Buffy/Riley train before he's an official regular. These two eps definitely emphasize the comedy focus of this season-- Spike and Giles are beyond hilarious 😂

[@wagenbach]

"I think I love him" - same!

[@leesmith9299]

i think we can assume buffy consented to being outed before riley told walsh. she did go with him to meet here with no signs of her being blindsided or annoyed at her knowing.

[@orangelanternnunley1720]

I love Spike so much. He is my favorite character in the franchise.

[@hannahawesome85]

It's great that Spike takes on a fake American accent which also sounds fake. James is an American and not British. 👌

[@arc7375]

His English accent is atrociously bad. But I give him the Dick van Dyke pass, where the actor is so endearing, and the effort is clear, that I try to let it slide. I can’t unhear it though. It’s ear-splitting.

[@feudist]

You have to wonder...the second that Buffy learns who Riley is...why didn't she stake Spike? The ONLY reason for sparing him was information on the commandos.(I love Spike, but...) Notice that Buffy was, without hesitation, leaping headfirst into Hell. With zero expectation of coming back. Riley's presence literally saved her life. Also...Ethan Rayne shouldn't be so cocky about The Slayer not touching him. Buffy has killed three humans involved in the Black Arts, and gutted Faith. As The Slayer, she absolutely has the right and Duty of summary execution for supernatural crimes. He has attempted to engineer mass murder twice(once of infants), tried to feed her to Eyghon and turned Giles into a demon. Just put a little muscle behind that letter opener.

[@user-dx2dm8oq8g]

I agree. Spike is def a liability even with the chip, he's still a demon who wants to destroy. He can read people well and manipulate them. He's already planting seeds in Willow and Xander's mind against Buffy. Now we know that Giles is lonely, he'll probably get in his head too.

[@elphiegreen]

I love how Riley has the Balls poster, and Buffy has the Chocolate poster lol they are so random i love them

[@migmit]

Well, Anya isn't evil now. Arguably. I don't see a problem with keeping demons who are completely evil, like Spike, under lock and key. Of course, you run into trouble of deciding who is evil and who isn't, but Buffy dealt with that problem admirably so far - remember that demon who tried to sell her Books of Ascention? With the exception of Spike, who is leashed, but definitely evil, she seems to be doing fine.

[@arc7375]

Let’s not covet that not _all_ demons are evil. Most have souls. It’s only _vampires_ that exclusively have no soul. Demons can be good, evil or neutral, much like humans can be good, evil or neutral. Humans are animals that evolved under the laws of physicals. Demons are animals that evolved under the additional laws of magic.

[@apetass123]

It just clicked with me that the number of slays talk is supposed to be the number of previous partners (I think) and Riley is insecure that Buffy's "slayed" (been with more people) than him.

[@rayalexander3734]

It was Rayne as a chaos sorcerer with Giles and his black magic background. This was chaos sir lol and chaos is he does disruptive stuff just if the heck of it using dark magic . The 314 and government do not utilize magic only technology , which is the big theme right now man vs nature and man vs the supernatural . I love Ethan I wish we had more of the chaos magician and his black magic days with Giles the ripper before he accepted his destiny as a watcher.

[@user-dx2dm8oq8g]

Rayne is so messy. You tell the guy about a real threat for humanity's survival, well mostly your own survival, but then you turn him into a demon to be killed before he could tell anyone.

[@WolfstarGaming1]

Oh my god. I forgot "A New Man" was THAT episode until the moment I saw Rayne. I laughed so hard just expecting your reactions.

[@liabowden8526]

This is misding from your buffy playlist btw. I was wztching off of that and got *really* confused when Spike mentioned Gilez turning into a Fyarl demon and then later you two talking about Faith being in Buffy (yeah 15 & 16 are midding too) .just wanted to let u kno

[@liabowden8526]

Holy Overwhelming typos, Batman! Sorry, touchscreen cellphone keyboards are mine enemy!🤦‍♀️ anyway, just came back to reiterate: 💔 😢Robin Sachs, aka Ethan Rayne. What a fun actor he was. He was General Roth'h'ar Sarris in Galaxy Quest, among many other things. Heart failure in 2013.👎😔

[@randeecarreno4289]

Happy "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer" Thursday evening with Cody and Sergio! 😊 Two really good episodes for this week. Episode 4x11: The Scooby Gang heads back to the old high school to stop another apocalypse. And Spike finds out that he can fight demons even with the chip. Episode 4x12: An old friend visits Giles. Looking forward to the next reactions. 😊

[@Gwenhwyfar7]

Even though many criticize Spike's English accent, him pretending to be English pretending to be American is absolutely perfect. It's exactly how they imitate us because they don't normally use R's and he exaggerated them perfectly.

[@Littlegreen42]

Comedic Spike is my favourite Spike.

[@davidgorman994]

I always liked the Initiative science Vs Buffy and the more "primitive" methods. It's nice seeing the Slayer expanded to more than the demon world.

I want that stich Freddy sweater! Where can I get it ?

[@GeorgeAlexander3110]

Spike in that Hawaiian shirt! ❤ finally finding his purpose

[@killianlpc]

Another almost too comedic episode in A New Man, but it was fun especially where Giles chases Walsh down the street. Interesting juxtaposition with Giles having to seek the help of Spike. The Xander, Spike in the basement part painfully funny again. The body swops, personality swops, etc a current theme throughout the whole series for lots of characters. The interminable Ethan Rayne back again causing havoc. A decent little episode and great fun.

[@reneeg9406]

5:55 is it just me... I always felt that that particular line of Giles sounded dubbed in🤔 something about the audio just seemed "off"🤷‍♀️

Truth is out. Earthquake! Spike/Xander duo is pure comedy! Spike’s outfit 😂 Percy! How dare you. We were rooting for you. Not him disrespecting Willow. Spike is going through it. Buffy’s fight choreography keeps getting better 🔥 Relationship drama. Not Giles getting attacked! The old high school. Spike taking the fight to the demons, but throwing it into the Hellmouth 😂 Buffy diving into the hellmouth! Excuse me?!! Spike’s fake accent 💀 His crime fighting spiel at the end 😂 Surprise party! Poor Giles is so out of the loop. Spike moving out, with Xander’s radio 😂 She’s telling the professor she’s the slayer? 😳 Not her coming for Giles in her psychoanalysis 😭 Giles was so betrayed that Spike even knew before him. Ethan’s back. The evil monologue & Giles immediately spotting him 😂 Yes Buffy showing Riley how it’s done 🙌🏼 Drunk Giles! “I’m twice the man she is” 😂 Willow & Tara doing magic together. Demon Giles?!! Oh no not them not understanding demon Giles. Spike helping Giles. I need more of this duo. Giles being petty scaring Maggie 😂💀 Giles bribing Spike. Spike’s getaway driving! Buffy & Giles heart to heart after changing back. What’s in 314? 🤔 Totally slaying these reactions guys! 🖤

[@Buffy8Fan]

4x11 Best lines in the episode are, ""Again! Oh, as usual, dear." and "Really! You're not just saying that." 4x12 I agree with Giles in that Buffy needs a phone for the types of situations I don't think she should be rolling her eyes over AKA assuming she told Giles about The Initiative and when finding out, Riley was still more important. Both: On 4x12's comment I especially agree considering Riley doesn't know how to not say Buffy is "stupid and "self-involved." So much for learning something as the TA of world renowned Phychologist. Even if he isn't learning something from her, that is an obvious don't do it just because she said no to dating you and you can't understand the reasons. There were other things he could have said, besides name-calling, to get his point across.

[@Doverkin]

@@arc7375 lol for a american i think he did great with a londoner's William/Spike accent (Top 3 UK accents i least like out of ours, but still i could tell where he was doing, so I think he did good as a whole. Its Angels Irish accent i always felt was weaker of the 3 USA actors Wesley/William/Liam. but David did his best at the time but he always felt like he should be making mafia accent char not Irish to me lol 😁 but for pure talent atm, I'm really liking Lestat de Lioncourt in the Tv show, played by Sam Reid. An Australian actor doing a French born and raised who moves around but settles in america taking on acents in the tones and so on. But i still love the original film also (Kirsten Dunst and the rest was great and still watchable today)

@@DoverkinHe made a very valiant effort, but some very easy, telltale things should have not been overlooked. Like for words like “can’t” - he still pronounces it “caant” like an American instead of “carn” like we do. Juliet Landau though was incredibly convincing. I genuinely thought she was a Londoner at first! Wesley was great, though I could tell he was American. He spoke from the wrong place in his mouth/throat (if that makes any sense?)
