Xander Is Less Awful: A BTVS Retrospective, Eps 11-12

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! We sees Cordelia and two of her friends walking through the halls of the school to open the penultimate episode of the first season. They quite literally bump into Buffy, causing the latter to spill her assortment of medieval weaponry to the floor. Buffy makes a lame excuse for why she has them, but Cordy just makes fun of … Continue reading Xander Is Less Awful: A BTVS Retrospective, Eps 11-12

Xander Is The Worst: A BtVS Retrospective, Eps 9-10

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! As we near the end of season one, we are in the throes of some very important goings-on… like the SunnyDale High School Talent Show! We start off with more picking on Cordelia as we see her trying to sing, but being abjectly terrible at it. For some reason, Giles is hosting the talent show, and does this school … Continue reading Xander Is The Worst: A BtVS Retrospective, Eps 9-10

Xander Is The Pits: A BTVS Retrospective, Episodes 7-8

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! Oh, episode 7 is called “Angel”, so I’m expecting some answers I already know (because I’m not oblivious to pop culture) to all the questions I have and don’t really care about. But you know what? The episode is not called “Xander”, so we’ll call it a win! Oh man, The Master is going to send The Three after … Continue reading Xander Is The Pits: A BTVS Retrospective, Episodes 7-8

I Hate Xander: A Buffy The Vampire Slayer Retrospective, Episodes 5-6

Episode 5 This episode starts off and makes me angry right angry. Every time Buffy kills a vamp, they disintegrate, right? I mean, one the one hand, I get that, but it doesn’t ALWAYS make sense. Like… why would freshly turned vampires turn to dust? Their bodies are’t old and rotted. Whatever, that’s not the point. This vampire leaves behind a ring when he dies. … Continue reading I Hate Xander: A Buffy The Vampire Slayer Retrospective, Episodes 5-6

Buffy The Vampire Slayer Episodes 3-4

EPISODE 3 We’re back with more of my first ever watch of Buffy The Vampire Slayer! Let’s see how the first pair of non-pilot episodes looked! The episode starts off very cheerleader heavy. Buffy has joined the Sunnydale cheerleading squad (well, she is signed up for tryouts, and for that, they already give you the outfit, apparently). Giles disapproves because his entire character is “Giles … Continue reading Buffy The Vampire Slayer Episodes 3-4

Stew’s Reviews: Buffy The Vampire Slayer Episodes 1-2

I recently rewatched the Buffy The Vampire Slayer movie. It’s… not great. I mean, it is what it is, but the acting isn’t anything resembling outstanding and the story is dumb and nothing about it is particularly well made, but… hmm. Pee-Wee Herman is in it? And the entire third act just stars Kristy Swanson’s cleavage? So I mean… it tried. And Jungle Boy Jack … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Buffy The Vampire Slayer Episodes 1-2
