"I'M THE THING THAT MONSTERS HAVE NIGHTMARES ABOUT." i fkn LOVE HER

[@monadreher2428]

Buffy is absolutely *iconic* No words can truly ever do her or SMG enough justice ❤ Probably my favorite Buffy, the character, moment (and the list is QUITE large) in the entire series. LOVE this episode.

[@Ren_Davis0531]

“I always find a way. I’m the thing monsters have nightmares about.” This line right here encapsulates the difference between Buffy and Angel. Buffy is about overcoming fears and anxieties. Angel is about enduring hardship because the fight itself is the critical part. Not the win. Buffy teaches us that we can move past the traumas that hold us back. We can be greater than what we suffer. Angel teaches us that life has meaning in the rebellion against meaninglessness. You may not win, but the choice to fight is what defines who you are. This is why both shows need to be watched together. They are two halves of one whole message.

[@monadreher2428]

Probably top three episode in Season 7 for me but I'm heavily biased because this is one of my favorite episodes in the entire series. I personally have Season 7 pretty high in my rankings and episodes like this one are a reason why. Also are they not watching Angel? I thought they were doing so on their patreon.

Felicia Day (Vi) is one of the original web series creators and pioneered a lot of internet nerdom! 😃 She created and starred in the web series The Guild (and the Do you wanna date my avatar? video), she was the founder of the web company Geek & Sundry with content like Critical Role, Tabletop with Wil Wheaton, etc. Joss Whedon asked her advice before creating Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog and also cast her in a starring role there, and in The Cabin in the Woods. She's also had big acting roles in Eureka, Dollhouse, Supernatural, The Magicians. And she's a Twitch streamer, has several podcasts, has written several books about being an internet creator, and has done much more. 😅 She's like the queen of geeks! Netflix has her doing panel interviews (titled Unlocked on KZbin) for some of their most popular shows like Stranger Things, The Witcher and Sandman, and she does the official Rings of Power podcast for Prime.

Another great episode of Series 7, the total faith Spike has in Buffy ' she will come for me' as he is teased and tortured by the First Evil in Buffy's persona shows the total trust they now have in each other. Buffy proves the ultimate power of The Slayer in the fight with the Turok-Han, giving The Potentials demonstrable proof they can win.

The remastered version changed ratio so yeah, some bits you hear voices but no lip movement, there's also visible boom mics, set ends etc. as well as horrendous colour balancing and zooms, really the should have worked on film quality and left the ratio, it's an old show and adds to the nostalgia.

[@Samaelthekind]

And now you know the final plotline for S7: Buffy's return to life and the splitting of the Slayer line opened the door for the First. As long as there was only one Slayer, it was stuck in neutral...but with Kendra and then Faith in the mix, there have been two Slayers...allowing the First to start acting directly, building an army, and eventually acting once its plans were complete. The million dollar question for the season...is how do you defeat an incorporeal being and its horde of minions while trying to guard a cluster of teenage potential slayers who have no actual powers? I loved S7...so as you unravel all this and watch it unfold...I'll be enjoying the reactions

One of the few semi episodes that I liked this season.

[@leora8278]

The Normies not recognizing Felicia Day means we need a Dr Horrible reaction

[@oneslikeme]

I think The First is taking advantage of the fact that Buffy died twice, not just the last time. It appeared to Angel in the 3rd season, not too long after she died the first time and started a second slayer line. I don't think that's a coincidence, I think it was attempting something then. Or at least planning. Then she died and lived again, in a much bigger and more significant way. That probably caused a big enough disturbance that The First was able to start putting in motion any larger plans it had been making.

[@lawrenceladd30]

the Blade trilogy is decent and Wes Snipes was perfect in that role he made it his own. The 1st and 2nd are good movies, 3 is just okay but ryan renolds plays himself so its like deadpool and Blade, just before Deadpool was mainstream... Its funny more than scary though.

This is the moment where Buffy goes from doubting her being a leader and is taking steps to becoming one. That's why she used the line ole Head Watcher dude once told her "here endeth the lesson". So in a way, she's also rebuilding the Watcher program.

[@AnatoleVGC]

Now that this episode happened here is a fun fact. Since season 6 the openning does not end with Buffy anymorr like from seasons 1 to 5. Last one was Buffybot and this one is the first. This basically brings the message that her story was indeed over. Death was her reward. She wasnt meant to come back. If she stayed dead willow would be able to protect the gang and might not cross the line, or cross enough to still be brought back. Doing the ressurection spell was the final straw. So yeah, Buffys jouney was over and the world would be better without her, season 6 and 7 are all consequences of her return

[@katevand]

Willow bringing Buffy back in the ER I think was the last straw, broke the energy and started the war

[@JunJun-e8k]

The SD versions of season 7 (dvds and streams) for some reason were overly sharpened in certain episodes, that's probably why it looks weird to you.

[@entrydenied]

I think someone explained that after Buffy changed networks the cameras were different (or something along the lines of that). That's why the look of the show changed. Budget probably got lowered because the crew and actors are getting higher pay compared to earlier seasons.

[@Buffy8Fan]

Rona's first episode. Ugh! Can you tell I'm not a fan of her character. The second she asked what the point was in defending themselves I was done with caring about her character. I understand newbies to the group being so worried they complain, as happens in this episode, but deciding there just isn't a point to even defending themselves, let alone fighting made me dislike Rona. Have The Normies put together that The First was in S3's _Amends?_ KZbinrs not knowing who Felicia Day is? She was one of the original KZbinrs. Was so early to joining Twitter that at a comic con called the action of typing on it twittering. She's like the OG of so many things on the Internet because she was an admitted nerd (who did lots of social media and gaming before the general public found it popular), who became a nerd icon. Pat, The First is incoporeal. Buffy cannot kill it. Biloxi's Eye states Willow, Xander, Anya, and Tara resurecting Buffy is the reason behind everything The First has been doing all season. I genuinely didn't know Buffy writer David Fury voiced Biloxi's Eye. Learn something new every day. Xander's "What?" in context is fantastic, whereas before/earlier in the episode it (purposefully to the writing) reads as confusing. The last scene with Buffy and Spike is perfect. From her saying nothing verbally yet saying everything non-verbally to Spike realizing it's actually Buffy and not The First. Marketa: "He would never." That's quite a turnaround from the attitude of saying she didn't care he had a soul. She would never trust him again. 23:08-23:35 That is exactly the reason behind the issue of The SIT's.

[@somedudeontwitterstalkedme3829]

Here is my own personal Head-cannon It is not bringing Buffy back that is the issue, it is bringing Buffy back and inserting Buffy back into the Slayer line that is the issue. Remember Willow brought back "The Warrior of her people" as Willow stated herself *“In every generation, there is a chosen one. She alone will stand against the vampires the demons and the forces of darkness. She is the slayer.”* When Buffy died the first time, the slayer line was passed to Kendra and with Kendra's death, it was passed to Faith, where it stayed until Willow brought Buffy back and inserted her into the Slayer line again, creating a fracture with the original prophecy of the Slayer. The reason the Turok-Han was told not to kill Buffy now is because unlike in seasons 2-5 her death would not activated another Slayer, now it would. This means from this point forward, there will always be two slayers. I have nothing to back that up, I watched this in its original run and fortunately had only lthe imited internet of that time, so I could enjoy this fully without all the complaining, I now find occurred during that time.
