Season 1 Episode 3 "The Witch"

[Black Eye Guy]

Ok so I'll start us off, and I thought I'd go for something early, I really love this episode. It was very well done with the reveal about them switching bodies, and work very well on a metaphorical level. I love how it set the foundation for so many other things in the series, Like how when witch's cast a black magick spell, Their eyes go black. I also love that they brought back Amy, and her mother in statue form, lol. Oh and I love that bit where Willow comes in with an axe and then Sander takes credit for having saved the day!

I just love Buffy's reaction to the spell that "Amy" puts on her. She's so funny at cheerleading practice.

I also like how it's even carried through to a new season, when Oz is examining that trophy and mentions that he feels it's eyes are following you wherever. I liked that.

[Black Eye Guy]

Yeah same, It's the little things like that, which make you proud to watch this show, because it shows that the writers have faith that the viewer will get that reference!

And I think SMG acting when she was under the blood stone vengeance spell was perfect, she was kinda like drunk, and allot of actors can't pull of drunk, It just looks incredible fake, But she was brilliant!

[Lyri]

i agree. SMG's acting was really good throughout this ep. especially the part after she gets kicked off the squad and she's all 'You're my Xander-shaped friend.'
and when she spell really hits her and she collapses...that couldn't have been really over acted, but i thought SMG pulled it off really well.
i also thought Elizabeth Anne Allen was really good in this ep. she had to play two colmpletely different characters, which is pretty good when you consider that she had to develop the Amy character enough to merit being brough back with just that one apperance.

I always forget about this ep, but it is a good one, funny. I never really liked Amy though, and I don't care for her so much, but still the actress did a good job..

One part that I really like is when Buffy comes into the kitchen and sings "Macho, macho, man! I want to be a macho man..." It's so cute in a weird way.

[Lyri]

yeah, in her little cheerleading uniform, and her high ponytail. she looked so cute!
i really liked the sence between Buffy and Joyce when Joyce doesn't know what Buffy tried out for. i thought that was a very mother/daughter sence, and really explained the relationship Buffy had with her mother at that point.

i liked how it had twists that some people didnt figure out right away. if everything's predictable it just gets boring. and i too feel that the continuity in the show is one of the great things about it that makes people love it so much! and i thought it was funny also when xander gives buffy the bracelet that says 'yours always' and he says 'it came like that way, they all said that!'. i felt bad for poor willow though.

One part that I really like is when Buffy comes into the kitchen and sings "Macho, macho, man! I want to be a macho man..." It's so cute in a weird way.

Awww.... I love that bit too..... her mum was probally thinking wtf... shes just so adorable when she sings! and she is even cuter cos she is in the cheerleader outfit... :silly:

[CrazyMary]

I'm not sure I remember well about that episode but gotta say that buffy as a cheerleader...that's worth it!
I think this episode was interesting for the relationships...Joyce and her relationship with her daughter, Xander trying to get buffy's attention and hurting willow without knowing it...that's what you can find during the whole season...plus buffy who's already trying to have a normal life by enrolling in that cheerleaders team.
yep,good episode.

[BillieHunter]

I was never really a fan of this eppy but i do have to say buffy as a hyperactive cheerleader was priceless...

[buffetofsporks]

Best thing about this episode was the introduction of Elizabeth Anne Allen. I REALLY liked Amy throughout the show. From geeky little cheerleader girl to rat to evil witch. Awesome transformation.

[Spirit_Of_Fred]

yeah, i did like amy. it would have been interesting to see her return more than she did and see what would've happened. had there been a s8, she shouldve guest starred for an eppy.
