That was just the same demon as in Prophesy Girl, only a bit bigger this time. Just the same old, same old. Some cracks in the floor, a few walls bashed down. But that's why we're not really missing out on anything with the monster fighting being pushed back to being the B plot.

It's nice to see "supporting characters" who are regular humans get their own episodes. Other shows wouldn't know what to do with characters like Xander and Cordelia, they would have kept them one dimensional or made them tools for the heroes' own development. In this show, you grow to like them as much as the more popular characters even if they're not perfect. They're on their own journey.

Considering the bigger picture and wanting to protect your family and the world versus Buffy wanting to save Angel simply because she loves him and believes he can do good? I'm not sure why Xander is seen as the selfish one here. Just saying. 😂 This episode clearly shows that Xander was right in his belief that Angel will always be a threat. Don't get me wrong, Buffy's perspective is valid too, but in the end, Xander's views are more realistic. All that being said, this is one of my favorite episodes of the series. Angel's story is one of my favorites and this episode is a big reason why.

Season 7 for me is by far the BEST

Love how the Xander story is really the focus of the episode with absolute chaos going on in the background.

The Zeppo is a great example of just how well Buffy as a show can do High Opera. I was blown away by this episode when first broadcast, and it just keeps getting better and better.

George Alexander, never stop being you❣ You're adorable! BTW strap in for some hilarious BDSM jokes in Buffy and Angel as the series progresses.

I suspect the underlying message for this went straight over your head which is a shame.........

Faith is basically forcing Xander, using him without any real consent on his part. Back then that kind of assault would have been discounted if a male was the victim. I think these days the standard has shifted.

One of my favorites!

Great episode it inspired a doctor who's episode. Xander saved the world and this episode make us like him

Xander being the hero of the day behind everyone’s back is the story of my life. I personally relate to this episode a lot.

I'm sorry I called the Horror Bandwagon the thirstiest channel on UA-cam before! George clearly deserves the crown.

Super episode and equal reaction. Not only do we see the story from Xanders viewpoint but we see how Xander sees Bufffy and the other Scoobys. Since this is a Xander episode it brilliantly shows the world from a different perspective. The scene with Buffy and Angel with the music and Xander interrupting , makes me smile every time. The other part of The Zeppo Factor is that Zeppo was not funny, brought no featured talent, and his role could have been played by anyone yet the Marx Brothers best comedies were with Zeppo and without him they just never reached the same heights. And that’s the point. Xander appears to bring nothing yet the Scoobys are not as effective without him. It makes no sense but the Marx Brothers needed the seemingly useless Zeppo and the same for The Scoobys. Very good episode and one of the best one offs in the series

I think The Zeppo was a brilliant episode reminiscent of the Martin Scorcese film After Hours from 1985, where the main character has crazy nightmare night getting caught up in some strange underworld he can't get away from. The Zeppo refers to one of The Marx Brothers. Groucho, Chico and Harpo were 1930s comedy legends, their brother Zeppo was considered useless in relation to the other brothers. This episode is so well constructed as we have two stories side by side, but Xander's story is the one we focus on and what would normally be the main story is sidelined. The part where he loses his virginity to Faith is also handled well, as it shows how people can hype this up as really big thing in their life, but the reality is that it is often overrated and really is so unimportant in life in general, Faith showing him the door straight away is comic genius reiterating this. The final part is great too where Xander is now not bothered by Cordelia's insults and put downs, as he know he has saved the school on his own and has grown as a person. It's so well written showing the transition towards adulthood for Xander.

My only issue with this episode is they never really address in the future, buffy seems to trust him immediately again, there are no lasting consequences of Giles betrayal

I kinda wanna go back and watch your GoT reactions... again lol.

My only complaint is the lack of the "forget about the bloody gods" margaery scene

When Otto has the realization and just says it out loud 🤗 "your father was right about you" so satisfying

I hope you’ll read the a song of ice and fire books even though they’re not finished it was supposed to set up a second dance of dragons and there’s a lot of horror elements in it

Arryk and Erryk 😢

Otto getting fired was hilarious he read Aegon and got fired twice by viserys and now his own grandson. After all that work to put him on the throne but hey you cut off your nose to spite your face Otto and you deserved it

Always wondered why such a prominent art piece wouldn't be seen in the Red Keep even hundreds of years later... well, that explains that then... fucking Aegon.

I wanted your reaction to Otto’s evil laugh lmao but fantastic

😕Fabien Frankel had to turn off comments on his Instagram account bc people were hitting him with hate comments bc apparently stupid people can’t seem to separate the person from the role he plays as Criston Cole.

We’re on different continents so have to wait extra long but always waiting for you reaction!!

I am also confused because in the trailer, Helaena and Alicunt were attacked in the streets and they had their veils on, but not here in the episode and i dont remember how it is in the book

🥰🥰

In my opinion, this is the most important episode in the Buffy-Giles relationship. This is where he chooses her side over the council. It was suspicious that Giles only heard of that rite of passage that day, being a watcher there's no reason why he wouldn't know about that if it was a real thing. And they did that on her birthday, that's petty. She's getting too old and opiniated for them and they're tryna test if there'll be a new line through her? Why risk losing the extra slayer you got because you want a younger puppet? The council doesn't like Giles, Buffy and Faith. Faith is so suspicious of everyone, they could never do this to her at this moment. So they got to Buffy through Giles. Giles at first thought it was a real test, but realized that there was no chance she'd make it alive it was a trap by the council. I think they never really trusted him because of his past.

In this episode, you see again how Giles is more of a parent to those kids than their actual parents. He's the first adult they reach out to when they need help. Willow's mom provides for her financially, but is neglecting her in other ways. He's always been my favorite character.

On this week's episode of "George is Always Horny,"...

For me, one of the genuinely scary episodes and consequently one of my favorites.

Heartbreaking. Tony's and especially Sarah's acting is just A-game.

For my money the scariest Buffy episode (even scarier than a certain famous season 4 episode). You truly fear for her life here. The episode also reduces me to tears more than one time.

This is actually my favorite episode of the show. I love the "slasher" feel, and even though the plot is fairly simple it touches on so many aspects of the show and characters, especially the relationship between Buffy and Giles. "You have a father's love for the child" ALWAYS kills me.

This is a brilliant episode, SMG and Head were extraordinary, and Kralik was genuinely monstrous...but I really question the narrative and Lore choice to make The Council so reckless with a Slayer's life. The prevailing fan theory is that the Council deliberately murders the Slayer to keep her young and pliable to the will of the Patriarchy. I'm unpersuaded by this. First of all, the casualty rate for Slayers is horrendous. Across the show, Buffy became The Slayer-meaning the Slayer previous to her was killed. Buffy was killed. Kendra was killed. Without Buffy's aid Faith likely would have been killed by Taquitos. That's four Slayers in a little over two years. Battle experience is crucial, and every fight she survives makes her exponentially more effective. Buffy has already prevented four Apocalyptic events: The Harvest, the rise of the Master, the Judge and Acathla, and killed scores of lesser vamps and demons. Finally...in what way has the Council tried to micromanage a Slayer that we've seen? Buffy does what she pleases. Faith even more so. I'd say indifference is a bigger problem. They didn't tell either Giles or Zabuto about each other's Slayer, or Giles about Faith, or warn him about Gwendolyn Post, and they've let Faith, a traumatized juvenile fend for herself as a street criminal.

Really great episode and the scariest of the season. The score and the acting are excellent

Buffys ' Horror ' episode love the creepy villain (am fairly certain this is the first reaction that ive seen mentioning how ' hot ' he was though lol ) the music score is fantastic and the end scene between Giles and Buffy gets me every time especially after her father couldnt be bothered to turn up for her 18th some excellent parenting there by Mr Summers ...

"Oh yeah, we're getting a birthday?" George asks so nonchalantly. 😆Sir, that's never a good thing for Buffy. The popular theory is that this whole "test" was designed that slayers wouldn't survive it. That way the slayers tended to be young, inexperienced, and more easy to control for the Counsel. Hate the Counsel with a fiery passion. They use the Slayer like a weapon, nothing more. Heck, she doesn't even get paid! That scene where Giles goes into the house and finds the dead Watcher and gets so shaken--it must have been pretty bad. It's not like he hasn't been around gory stuff prior. 😬

Another excellent reaction. A few things to remember and keep in mind. If Buffy is having a birthday, nothing good is going to happen for her. This was not as bad as last year when Angel became Angelus but this was bad. This episode also calls back to when Buffy was without her power in Halloween in Season 2. When was saw this when it aired we were shocked. The test is ridiculous and made no sense to any of us. A few days later one of my girl friends that watched had the idea that the Council wanted Buffy to die . She said the test was only going to result in a Slayer to die and the only reason Buffy won is that she was warned by Giles and came prepared with Holy Water. We all started talking about this and then we decided that Slayers were all young immature girls and that they could be controlled. Buffy is becoming Independent and with Faith more volatile she could be an easier Slayer to handle. If any non powerful teen girl went into a locked house with an insane Vampire starved for blood, they would die quickly. It was that week we started to realize the show was about more than Vampires and about life, independent thought, and that Buffy had hidden enemies out to get her. This episode really shook us. First Giles( at least he changed and helped Buffy), then Giles getting fired, and her real Father rejecting Buffy for “reports”. This was anguish and every girl I knew felt so sorry for Buffy.

This show is already getting good and we are not even to episode two. They are about to start filming for Knight of the Seven Kingdoms soon, I think you’ll like it. Dunk and Egg are good together.

“Imagine she’s just stuck as a rat.” 😬

Not Giles lying for a bunch of a holes😵😵😵👎🏾 This is why Angel killed your girlfriend 🤷🏾‍♂️😂😜👍🏾✌🏾
