Buffy - 5x12 Checkpoint Reaction
🕑 Added 2024-05-10 21:00:06 +0000 UTCMy GOODNESS I cannot get enough of this show. This episode was fantastic. The ending speech... brilliant.
My rewatch journey is going well! Almost up to mid point season 4. It's slowed down a bit as Masterchef Australia is back on 4 nights a week so that has taken up Buffy time AND gaming time π
Hope you all have a lovely weekend π

Spike's obsession is so funny but at the same time, really creepy π€£ I'm just SO glad it's Buffy and not me that someone has a mannequin of LOL
Nebraska
Demon: Short, symmetrical, hair on top. Buffy something. Ben: Buffy Summers? Buffy's the Slayer? He didn't intentionally give her up, but he unknowingly slipped up in the moment.

Such a good episode, but I couldn't stop staring at the Buffy mannequin behind Buffy when she came to see Spike π I hope he stows it away while Joyce and Dawn are there. Ben and Glory do seem connected, but how?

No longer. I have been retired for almost 15 years now. I started in law enforcement and then moved to Emergency Response Coordinator working with police, fire, medical responders and private contractors at disaster scenes, fires, accidents, weather related, chemical spills, etc. Never bored.

I suppose with Glory being a God and having those minions, she can probably get anything she wants. Sunnydale isn't huge and Buffy IS a unique name as well π Aww thank you, David! What a hard job that is... Do you still do it? I cannot imagine how difficult it would be at times. People like you are just amazing, truly π
Juliette Gaming
It's SO GOOD to finally know as well! The secret wasn't revealed so I'm very grateful!
Juliette Gaming
Spike and Joyce make an awesome team. He actually seems to genuinely like her!
Juliette Gaming
It's SO adorable!
Juliette Gaming
AH YES! That is a huge sign! I didn't pick up on that either!

Buffy's talk at the end was SO GOOD! Seeing her grow and develop into someone that can talk so confidently and calmly... SIGH! I'm so proud of her π Thank you, Neil! I had a nice weekend! I re-watched 3 episodes of Buffy, enjoyed a good ol' takeaway, and rested up ready for work again tomorrow. I hope yours was good too πΈ

I really like Quentin Travers, the council guy. Not only is the actor amazing, the character itself is interesting. He fully believes that the council is fighting a war against evil, and that the slayer is just a weapon in that fight. And who's to say he's wrong? Of course we're watching Buffy's story, and within the confines of the show's metaphor the council represents the patriarchy. But I think it speaks to the power of both the character and the actor that we can see his perspective too. Glory is interesting in a very different way. She's more of a mystery, an unknown and unknowable - and definitely not part of the patriarchy. The contrast of having both in one episode - with our heroine Buffy in the middle - is interesting. And of course that speech is iconic.

One of the more inspiring episodes of a top-notch season. You thought that Ben must have told the minion where Buffy lived, not quite. Glory was able to find Buffy because Ben told the minion her last name after hearing the very precise description, 'symetrical, hair on top, Buffy something.' I have never been much of a TGIF kind of guy, having spent most of my career as an emergency responder and working or being on call on weekends. But now you have me eagerly anticipating Buffy Fridays (and Angel Mondays, too). Thank you.

I'm so happy you've finally been told that Glory is a god. :) it's so hard to keep things secret. lol. Hope you have a wonderful week ahead.

I absolutely LOVE the speech at the end! Buffy's a powerhouse and deserves a heck of a lot more respect from the council. Spike's such an interesting character for sure. The way he's obsessed with the show Passions is hilarious, and how Joyce watched it with him π
Dyrla
Joyce and Spike bonding over Passions whilst Dawn looks on disgusted was really fun!

On rewatch I'm surprised I didn't guess she was a god originally because they do a good job of giving you little clues like when she says "You should get down on your knees and worship me!" One of the things I like about this show. If you know what to look for there's so many little things hidden around in plain sight.

You too Juliette. So weird that when you said Julie Goodwin it took me back to years ago and watching it. :) Weirdly sad but happy memory.
Neil Hanson
Any time I see that horrid man Quentin I just want to punch him in his smug, condescending face. It was so great to see Buffy put him squarely in his place at the end there! When it comes to cooking competition shows I've only liked The Great British Bake Off. I love how wholesome it is compared to most other cooking shows. Thanks for the great reaction Juliette and have an awesome weekend.
Juliette Gaming
Ahhhh!! YAY! I actually really enjoyed the earlier seasons. I've got back into it over the last 3 years. It's a big commitment. I think it's 4 nights a week π€£ that's valuable gaming time! It's fun to watch though and it inspires me to try new recipes. I've made a couple of things I've seen on this season so far and it's got me back into baking bread which I've always wanted to do. These latest seasons, everyone is SO talented. I do kinda miss the "home cook to chef" aspect of it, but it's really cool to see how different it is these days compared to Julie Goodwin's season! I hope you have a lovely weekend, Abi π

I used to love Masterchef Australia! I watched the first six or so seasons. They were my Covid companions. I hope you're enjoying it!
