[@arc7375]

I think it’s cruel to make us wait for the second part of a two-parter episode. 🤣 Also, Willow shouldn’t have raised Buffy from the dead. Everytime Willow is unhappy, she turns to dark magic. To make Xander stop listing after her, to punish Oz, etc. I think Willow’s been crossing lines for a long time and getting too reliant on using magic when she doesn’t feel happy.

What’s messed up is that in Season 1, it was confirmed that Buffy’s biggest fear and nightmare is being buried alive. So Buffy is literally waking up in and living her worst nightmare. A new Slayer was not called when Buffy died, because Buffy is not the true, “official” Slayer - Faith is. The Slayer line passed from Buffy to Kendra and now runs through Faith. *Faith* is the true Slayer.

Everyone depends on her to pull off the big magic, but don’t understand or care about the possible consequences to Willow’s own soul and psyche. However, Willow was very self motivated to get Buffy back..can’t really analyze more than that without spoilers. Oh, and you guys stink for not doing part two today..lol..!

Buffy before this only came back in the way people do in the real world, Joyce was brought back maybe as a zombie, we don't know, Angel never died after he was a vampire, he was sent through a hell portal, and The Master died by "supernatural" means and was supposedly not completely killed because his bones were still there.

Big Spoilers ... ... ... ... In addition to the obvious thing where her cause of death was "falling through portal to hell dimension", there's also the fact that hell dimensions are just... known to exist. Plenty of demons live in them, and aside from Pylea, most of the info we have about them is that some are more horrific than others and that time moves differently there. Both Buffy and Souled Angel have been to hell dimensions before, and Buffy definitely saw other people there who didn't necessarily deserve torment. By contrast, there's no word on anyone going to a heavenly dimension prior to Buffy and Cordelia. Complete sidenote, in the event of my death, if you think there's even a chance I'm in Heaven, ignore that chance, use all the dark magic you want to res me.

[@mythtaken6610]

The rules aren't always clear in a universe like this - because of the portal being opened and like a zillion universes beginning to bleed together when she sacrificed herself (by jumping into said portal soup) Buffy's soul could have legit ended up anywhere. It's a normal fear for the characters to have, given the circumstances. Curses and things exist - just because a soul has earned something doesn't mean that magic or demons can't change that trajectory.

Also the Giles in the airport scene, its weird cause Xander keeps reading the note, Giles doesn't take over and it just cuts to him thinking before they arrive on the DVD version, the voice over of Giles doing it was only used for "Previously" . Xander Willow and Dawn all wearing numbers on their shirts wasn't counting down to anything though I thought so too, the costume designer just actually put them in number shirts without thinking, it doesn't actually mean anything. Buffy only having one street is funny and cool cause they actually built that entire street with SunCinima and everything, you could even walk inside the Espresso Pump and I am pretty sure the magic box. Sarah Michelle Gellar also has a huge fear of being buried alive, so the coffin stuff was really hard for her.

[@LiviaAndrade1]

"BUFFY IS A DEER?" giving the same energy as "WILLOW IS A DEMON?" 😂😂

[@Buffy8Fan]

Welcome to S6. I saw the title of the video and my first thought was, _I thought they finished S5._ I'm still surprised streaming services break the first two episodes of this season up when they didn't until reruns on TV and the DVD had it as one episode. Rana: There not doing well." Just like when Buffy ran away, this is a good way for the show to acknowledge Buffy has skills as a slayer that don't allow slaying to be easy for most others who don't have those skills. The show is called _Buffy the Vampire Slayer._ Rana being suprised Sarah Michelle Gellar was on the main cast list is gonna boggle my mind for a while. Anthony Stewart Head wanted to spend time with his family in England after having been away a while and they've had a natural out for Giles since Buffy graduated high school. Her death was the time the writers decided to put it into action. Considering Mr. Summers is uncontactable since before Joyce died (they tried to contact him at that point and when they couldn't here, decided he didn't need to know) and cares more about his secratary than Dawn, I think the law wouldn't wonder about being on his side. Personally, I don't think he should know, but that's just me. Ever since the beginning of the series, it has slowly been making Hank Summers' estrangement a plot point for dead beat dad who backs out of familial responsibilities. Last we heard, he was "living the clique" with his secratary in Spain. Before that he ignored a birthday tradition of Buffy's to the ice show. That's why I think he shouldn't know Buffy died or have parental rights to Dawn. If he cared, that would be a different story, but Chris is wrong in that this isn't just something fans go with. Hank has been this way for a while. The law might be with him, but he wouldn't want it anymore than the Scoobies. He would put on a show for a while, but revert to a deadbeat dad and scar Dawn in a different way than Buffy's death has already done. Sadly, not telling him is more healthy. The Scoobies biggest mistakes in their plan (outside of the resurrection itself, which has already been set up in-universe as a problem to do) is allowing the Buffybot to patrol alone and having a _return to Willow when faulty_ feature. The Scoobies, combined with not grieving and not putting aside their Faith annimosity to get her out of jail when needed, are at fault the town got taken over and Buffy was resurrected in her grave. I don't even blame the demons as much as the Scoobies. The demons were just doing what you expect from demons. The Scoobies know what they were doing wasn't right. They conversed about it. The Normies saying Giles needs to come back and call out the stupidity was great. The government were raising the invisible kids to be killers and hitmen in non-mythological situations, at best. And considering their stupidity with The Iniiative, they would've just bungled up trying to help after Buffy's death, as well. A small town like Sunnydale, sometimes only does have one street, Marketa. It's not unrealistic for the only other streets to be where people live. It's been months. Of course Buffy's body would be decayed. In-between every season finale and premiere is roughly three to five months. I agree with Pat (There's a first for everything). If the writers just dismissed everything now that Buffy's gone, her resurection means nothing. The Scoobies already made her sacrifice worthless. Not by bringing her back, but by not considering all the consequences and taking them into account beforehand. Your not supposed to be onboard with the plan, Marketa. That's the idea. Same with watching the "vase" get smashed. Marketa's reaction was natural even when not on board with said plan. That's great writing. Even though the credits spoil it will work (unless the writers decide to have Sarah Michelle Gellar play the Buffybot for two more seasons).

[@freddiegillespie_05]

Two things I always notice when re-watching. One, if the plan was to have BuffyBot around to hide the fact that RealBuffy had died, why did they have a gravesite? I get that Sunnydale has a bagillion cemetaries, but... I don't know, it seems like a pretty obvious sign someone died. Second is that this was the show's first season on UPN, which was a brand spanking new network with no Standards and Practices Department. And, yeah, it shows. lol

To answer Pat's question: With or without Batman, Gotham is the most crime-ridden city in DC.

Is anyone watching along with the DVD? I threw on my disc and there were entire (short) scenes missing from the version The Normies watched (it made syncing a right pain in the ass). On the DVD, Bargaining Part 1 and 2 are combined into one episode, so maybe it's a "directors cut" of sorts. Anyone know? Or is the streaming version cut "for syndication?" I feel bad that they were asking about Spike and his scene from when the bikers show up was cut from their version.

Now I absolutely must buy the DVD version. I know the Normies are watching the HD remaster, since they've mentioned noticing boom mics and crew visible at the edges of shots that weren't intended for widescreen. The HD remaster is the version that is available on streaming services. From what you said, the remaster also lost some transition scenes/moments, on top of all the other major mistakes. The blasphemy of the remaster continues!

[@lolilie]

@@em8066 yeah, I knew they were watching the HD remaster, but I had no idea it also cut scenes. I've had some timing issues with my DVDs and their stream before, but it's usually due to the fade-to-black for "commercial break" between acts. Usually their Hulu black breaks are longer than my DVD ones. But with this episode, there are transition/establishing shots either missing or cut back, there's an edit in the airport scene with dialogue from Xander cut out, and two actual scenes that I can think of, one with Dawn and Spike, and one with Buffybot and Dawn at school, that are missing entirely.

[@mark6ix626]

[@YuukiFaith91]

Can't wait to see you guys react at this season!!!! 🤩🤩🤩 Uuuuuhhh, this is gonna be fun!!!! ❤

Welcome to Buffy's darkest and most depressive season. I like it, there's a couple of episodes that I don't like / would definitely change, but overall it's a good season. But it's between season 5 and season 7, which are the best seasons for me, so it "suffers" because of that (and for other reasons I won't mention here). It's a really strong opener though, it sets up a lot of things. And it gets real crazy, which I like.

4:44 Personally I think Buffy's dad deserves nothing

[@j030977]

She was only brought back this time because the show was revived after it was canceled. They're making it too deep. Regardless, season 6 is my favorite season.

[@NelsonVlog66]

Hank Summers(Buffy and Dawn's father) was a deadbeat who cheated on Joyce during their marriage and stood Buffy up on her 18th birthday in an early episode. He couldn't even be bothered to be there for Buffy and Dawn after Joyce's death.

What is happening with ranas hoodie?? Am I tripping?

[@LODintheshadows]

I'm guessing Rana has never watched Supernatural?

[@basharic3162]

TBF Sam, Dean, and Cas are LITERALLY Mary Sues.

[@TieLand]

Ya'll have no idea what's to come, so hold on to your socks and watch it all unfold!! This season DEFINITELY brings on feelings of nostalgia.... takes me back to when this season premiered, and when it ended!! 😊👀👀👀

[@katevand]

for one second if they thought it'd work, why keep her in the ground???? did they think like Angel she'd just poof, come back? they saw her body...it's a weird way to start the season but it's a great turn

[@dominiccarroll7125]

If you know anyone with the Buffy dvds rewatch this episode. For some reason the reruns & the digital version have some small scenes cut (I think for the running time for the reruns).

[@CaptNondescript]

Oh this season is a wild ride, get ready!

[@FeyPhantom]

lmao I'm disappointed the top-voted comment isn't about Rana's multi-coloured sweater. Props to the editor! XD

[@Bgo-LiveArguments]

oh trust me , It gets Good . Season 6 And 7 Is Sooooo Good , TRUST lol

[@violamerjo8800]

me being scared of spoiling myself while reading the comments. also me who has rewatched this show from beginning to end at least 5 times

[@reneeg9406]

5? 😮 Welcome newbie 🫢😘

[@godmagnus]

Rana's got a lot of faith in Dawn, thinking she could knock a vamp to the ground like that

[@strych9dark]

Hahaha wait till you know where Buffy was 'saved' from... I love this show so much

[@avichaid6021]

OMG can't believe they're five and a half weeks away from *that* episode. Yeah you know which one

[@Anne-fv6nc]

I’m just here watching Rana’s sweater change colors

[@seanthomas3091]

Slow the video down after the urn gets shattered and Willow collapses. You'll see Buffy's spirit entering the ground from above.

[@samanthamacmillan9461]

"she needs to come back a little fucked up" .... Hmmm lol
