:lmao:

lol Dracula actually existing in the Buffyverse is hilarious, yet cool ^_^
LMAO he made Xander into his follower like it was nothing so not cool for Xander but funny as hell.
Spike: "His story gets out and suddenly everybody knows how to kill us" :lmao:
The chemistry between Spike and Riley is priceless. Plus Spike saying "I'd like to see you try" after Riley threatens to stake him is great!
Buffy seems so vulnerable infront of Dracula :( I do hate how there will never be any more Oz :(
But the whole group dynamic thing they got going on so far seems pretty good.
OMG Eww... Xander just ate a spider! stupid controlling Dracula ::bbat:: OMG now he ate a fly : /
Dracula has so much power if i were him all of the gang and Buffy would be dead, but I bet that's not going to happen ^_^
lol
Buffy: "Why because I'm under your thrall" *pulls out stake* "Well, guess again pal."
Dracula: "Put the stake down."
Buffy: "Okay" *puts the stake on the table* :lmao::cheering:
lol Riley hit Xander, why are they always making Xander weak :/ but that was hilarious lol, but not cool!!
Wow Giles is in a 4-way ^_^ Ew, now Buffy is drinking from Dracula's arm. lol she just summed it up "That was gross" :lmao:
lol this ep keeps getting funnier 3 girls are on top of Giles and Riley comes "Oh thank god you came.... there was no possible escape" :lmao:
Woah, big props B, she actually killed Dracula Very cool indeed
Oh and now Xander says he's not going to be anyone's butt monkey anymore :cheering: lets pray for that!
And omg... why did i Love Riley this episode? and Holy Cr*p Dracula just came back to life... and now he's dead again :lmao: lol does that mean he's really dead for good or not?
Aww Giles and Buffy's heart to heart was cute now he's staying ^.^

:lmao: I loved this episode... but why even show Dawn lol for those 5 annoying seconds "Mommmmmmmmmmm" :lmao:

[Lyle]

That's cool that you're rewatching Season 5, I just finished it for the first time a couple months ago (and as of a few days ago, I've now finished Season 6!).

I really liked Season 5, I'm not sure yet if I like it more than 2,3, or 6...yeah I really liked most of the seasons so far, not really a big fan of 4 though. It was still Buffy but not quite as good. Have only seen half of 1 and none of 7 so far so I can't compare it to those either.

To be honest, I didn't like the Season 5 premiere that much lol...but I remember I thought 5 got a LOT better as it went on and developed (and after a certain someone left...not sure if you remember or not so I won't spoil anything if you don't). Anyways it's an awesome season, enjoy!

I didn't like Riley all of season 4 >.< but for some reason this episode I did :lmao: I know he leaves eventually I just don't want to start like-ing him before he leaves! With my tragic memory I though Giles might actually be leaving in this first episode :lmao: I can barely remember this season or the sixth , only the seventh from when i watched it when it first came on and the last 4 I've rewatched this past month :lmao:

[Lyle]

Yeah, personally I don't mind Riley when he's just "regular preppy student" Riley (like the beginning of S4), the Riley I didn't like was obedient military guy Riley, and when he gets to be a jerk later on in S5. He had some good moments, but by the time he left I was thinking good riddance. And Giles leaving was really sad I missed watching him but I do think it was important for Buffy and the others to grow up a bit and learn to live on their own.

4 seasons in a month is pretty fast, how many episodes you watch per day?

On the weekends alot, 6 or 7 maybe ^.^ :lmao: and maybe 3-4 a weekday ^.^ - When I'm addicted to something, I'm Addicted
The Real Me
I'm feeling like I like it alot more when they were younger and in Highschool. And Dawn in the second episode... eh.... People are acting and looking older I'm not digging it ^.^ But I like Riley lmao I hated him last season.
Buffy: "She's always around" So it sounds like they just added her into there memories, and now she's actually there so it now seems like she's always around and with her. I'm not liking it atm.
Plus there is no cool Oz episode to fall back on this season ^_^ Hopefully the next couple episodes will be better ^.^
The whole Dawn thing hasn't grown on me yet.I liked Spike and Xander cracked me up in this episode, so episode 2:
The Real Me gets a 6/10 :lmao:

[Lyle]

Wow...so at your Buffy watching best you can get 34 eps a week! I'd love to do that lol...stupid real life gets in the way.

Yeah I miss watching them go through high school too. It's kinda sad cuz they go through it so fast...just like real high school...:(

[GATEGOD]

The Replacement
I loved how this episode started out in Xander's basement and Riley gives Buffy a massage.
Then Xander can't sit back feeling all non manly not giving Anya one so he tries and fails lol
Anya: "Owwwwww! what are you doing? I have a dislocated shoulder!" :lmao:
Plus Xander's parents fighting in the background makes the show feel even more real.
Then the whole "who uses cauldrons anymore" they cut to someone using a cauldron :lmao:

Oh... sorry that was all in the first 3 minutes ^_^ I love this show!

lol the gang is so funny while they were checking out an apartment with
Xander and Giles new job is dangerous
lol the entire gang goes to the dump and who do they find ... Spike. :tongue2:
Xander: "oooo I found a quarter I found a quarter. Well m'am for me it is worth getting excited about.

lol I'm loving this episode so far. Xander is getting everything but real Xander isn't so not fair!
oh nooo don't turn on real Xander!!! lol i just saw the snoopie dance :lmao::cheering:
I hate seeing Xander sad :( "take my life please" :( It's very sad, oh my god more sadness,
Anya: "I may have less than 50 years*to live*" :(
Buffy:"If Xander kills himself he's dead..." :lmao:

This was such a great episode, well for me it was you might hate it, but I loved it.
I really thought one of them was a demon it was a pretty cool twist. I love Xander episodes. He is an amazing actor.
They did however kill the demon way too easily. I give this episode:

The Replacement gets a 9/10
And OMG "Unless you want my collection of Babylon 5 commemorative plates, which you can not have" OMG I LOVE XANDER EVEN MORE NOW!

Riley's :"But she doesn't love me" to Xander at the end was sad, they keep mixing comedy and drama and it's working! now i'm sad though lol

[Joyce Summers]

Oh I've been planning to rewatch season 5 from the beginning again too. It's such a heavy and powerful season that I go for months without watching all of it. hehe and they I think 'hey why not'.
And The Replacement is a great Xander episode. Pluss, .::squee!::. two Xanders! What more could a girl ask for? (Perhaps along with the two Xanders, also two Gileses...s...s, two Angels and two Spike. Added perhaps with two Rileys. Or maybe all that just makes me greedy....)
I do love the scene at the end when they are putting them back together.
Both Xanders: Kill us both Spock!
Buffy: They are kinda the same now.
Giles: Yes, he's a bad influence on himself.

Anya: See, I could take the boys home and we could have sex and then you can just...slap em back together in the morning.
And then when she reasons it as 'it's not like it would be cheating' and Xander 1 says 'no it'd be wrong...and confusing'.
Giles: Okay, we should light the candles and pretend we heard none of the disturbing sex talk.
Willow: Check; candles and pretense.

Great episode

[GATEGOD]

^_^ yea!! I loved it

Out of My Mind - Episode 4
lol classic spike ^_^ I love it when he goes on one of his long speeches then something happens to him. Like falling into a grave. ^_^
I'm slowly seeing how everything is being lined up for the rest of the season, that is very good but now i'm remembering what's going to happen ^.^
Especially the whole doctor 'Ben' and "Who are you 'dawn' "
Riley kicking ass and taking names is awesome even though he could have a heart attack at any moment.

haha Spike betrayed Buffy , Buffy isn't that smart trusting him with such info.
Buffy: "Do you think I've spent the last year with you because you had super powers?"
Buffy: "If I wanted that I'd be dating spike." lol... yea, she doesn't want that...
I love how much they hate each other right now, It's hilarious! But the idiot of a doctor not taking the chip out! Arg!
Then Spike is so fed up with her he basically tells her to kill him and they end up making out! lol then Spike wakes up from dreaming !!
lol Spike: "Oh god no, oh please no!"

I liked this episode I'll give Out of My Mind a 7.5/10

Edit:

No Place Like Home - Episode 5

I love how this episode throws you into the story of what happened that made the world of Buffy what it now is.
Even though you have no idea what's going on for the first 3 minutes it still explains itself out eventually.
And the 10 seconds giles and buffy stare down while he's dressed as a ... wizard is Priceless!!
I haven't finished the ep yet but the orb looks like the thing where if you break it your memories of a changed timeline return.
And wow, i just saw a green wizard candle holding a book in the magic shop, my dad has the same one ^_^ lol anyways
Could Dawn be anymore unlikable at this point? Buffy says it best "She's so annoying"
All these people who are effected because of Dawn's creation, it's so eh.. unfair.
Loving the intro of the new big bad, but if i hadn't seen it before i'd have no idea what the hell was going on ^_^

Dawn: "What are you doing?"
Buffy: "My boyfriend go away" :lmao: :cheering:

Buffy going into a trance and finding out Dawn isn't 'real' was great and the way Dawn acts making her seem as if she was evil.

Buffy: "What are you doing here, 5 words or less."
Spike: "Out. For. A. Walk. ..... Bitch" :lmao:

SPIKE is babbling on and on , this show goes from funny to dramatic to funny at a drop of a dime :)
Favorite scene has to be the final scene with the monk where Dawn's true identity is revealed.
Even if I hate how they changed everyone's memories, the scene was still great and explained alot.
Surprised she didn't tell the gang about Dawn though..
I liked this episode, a bit more then the last one so
No Place Like Home gets a 8/10

--

Family - Episode 6

I'm not liking the tara/willow relationship, Oz/willow seemed more happy and real.Idk maybe i just loved Oz too much.
I am loving Anya/Xander relationship though. None of the gang even like Tara... everyone loved Oz.
Okay, I'll stop with my Oz obsession. Onto Spike! Spike seems to be obsessing alot about Buffy now aswell.
That is a great little side story lol ^

Tara not telling anyone about what might happen to her is so stupid. Does she actually believe they would hurt her..
Then Tara using magic on them... My dislike for her is increasing, but then her evil cousin being a b*tch isn't cool.
Tara's spell could get them all killed... okay I'm disliking her again.
I did like how everyone accepted her as family though, that was cute, all be it sad, she could have left and Oz could come.. nvm lol. It was good.
Loved that spike saved the day proving tara wasn't evil, at the end
I thought this episode was pretty good, even though nothing really important happened and I dislike Tara.
I give Family a 7/10

[Joyce Summers]

You don't like Tara? Blasphemer. (I may have spelt that wrong which kinda softens the blow). I loved Oz to bits, and he always made laugh so much coz he had such a larconic humor that was kinda like Cary Grant (whom I've always loved) but I adore Tara. She's totally perfect. I mean I thought it was weird at first that Willow had a girlfriend, especially after you know being in love with Xander and Oz, drooling over the frat boys and crushing on Giles, but it just somehow seemed right. And well...I like Tara! Haha. She's such a sweetie. And I love 'Family'- it's one of my favorite episodes of season 5- and that scene at the end where she is finally fully accepted into the Scooby gang. Its just so touching, especially when Mr Maclay demands 'who the hell are you?' and the Buffster replied 'we're family' and Tara's smile just speaks volumes.
And she only cast that spell on them because she was afraid. Terrified of being rejected by the only people who'd ever been kind to her. But family forgives and that's why they do so.
And Tara is like the only one of the characters who didn't have like the uber flaw. I mean they all had flaws, but Tara was the only one who was able to constantly remain neutral while also caring about the people involved. And she constantly believed in doing what was right no matter the cost. She was a lot like Giles in that sense, and I think that's partially why I liked her so much.
Sorry, just as you had an Oz ramble I had a Tara one hehe.

[GATEGOD]

Fool for Love - Episode 7

Start of this one was fantastic and unexpected, you never think your going to see the vamp actually nearly kill buffy, and escape.
She's be dead if it wasn't for Riley, another reason to like Riley ^_^ Plus you have to love Riley going around all stealthy.
Then you see "the gang" walking behind him eating chips :lmao: Riley is so cool at this point.
Oh and Spike "Wings, Spicy buffalo wings!" omg i want some. Buffy actual turns to get him some, /wipped.
Alright, this episode I enjoyed alot! It focused alot on Spike and how he killed 2 slayers, which is very cool.
I can't see why other Vampires aren't falling in line under him, he's already killed 2 he's like the epitome of an evil vampire. well and there's angelus.
The backstory on Spike was extremely well done. And it reveals alot about the character. I enjoyed it.
Hated how everyone was making fun of poor William though especially that weird guy who said:
"I'd rather have a railroad spike through my head then listen to that awful stuff" god I sure hope that came true. :lmao:
It was so sad to see Spike get his heart broken "You're nothing to me William, you're beneath me."
Loved the conflict between Spike and Angelus too and dru just seems crazier and crazier lol.
"A slayer must always reach for her weapon, I already got mine." great spike line as he vamps out.
Drucilla's lines come out so well when she talks with spike I'm loving it.

Just being able to see these amazing stories that we've heard about for so long actually on screen is priceless!
An entirely new spike/dru/darla/angelus show, now that would be priceless aswell. haha
Spike: "The question isn't how did I win. The question is why did they lose."
A big plus, Spike walking around with the dead slayer's jacket, or one looking like it.
A big down, is Buffy saying "It would never be you Spike, You're beneath me." Not very nice.
Spike coming to tears is heartbreaking. All and all , I loved this episode, and everything we learned from it.
Learning about the history of Spike and the Slayers he killed makes Buffy such a great show, full of detail and history.


I would have given it a 10 but there were a few things here and there that i disliked, one being Buffy's attitude toward Spike.
Ahahahaha but you have to LOVE seeing sticky antler guy :lmao: "I didn't know she was seeing somebody."
Then it does what it does best and goes back to sadness. We see Buffy crying because her mother could be dieing.
And Spike shows up ready to kill Buffy but then see's how sad she is and asks "What's wrong?" It's so cute that he cares.
"Is there something I can do?" He keeps surprising everyone. Then he sits with her to comfort her.
Awwww, I keep loving how much Spike has grown/ how much he's fallen for her.

I'd have to give this episode Fool for Love a 9.5/10

[Joyce Summers]

Yeah, I love the sweet Spike moment at the end, because you actually get to see the remnants of the man he once was. And i LOVED william. He was like Giles, but like even sweeter and atch, I don't think he had the toughness that Giles has. Poor Spike getting rejected by Cecily (who becomes Anya's vengeance friend Halfrek, no?) but Dru sees his potential and i love Drusilla for that. Darla may mock but Dru knows what she's talking about.

[GATEGOD]

Definitely ^

Shadow - Episode 8

First thing that jumps out on me is Spike smelling Buffy's clothes, and Riley, walking in on him lol hilarious!
I am liking both Spike and Riley and together there bickering and little fights is great to watch.
Can't have to much laughs though when they keep cutting back to Buffy's mom :(
And then they cut to Glory coming into the store and buying things as they talk about she could be anywhere... :lmao:
Then we find out Joyce has a Brain Tumor :( I'm more sad for Buffy then for Joyce.
I just can't help but think, If they never brought Dawn into Buffy's life that maybe she would have never had a tumor you know?

Anya asking Giles "You sold someone --------.Are you stupid or something?"
Then they finally realize they already met the women they were looking for.
I'm liking this episode so far. But Dawn making Riley feel like nothing, and not even realizing it is horrible.

B: How did she get away with this bad mojo stuff?
//long pause//
A: //whispering// Giles sold it to her.
G: I-I-I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

^ That was hilarious and one of the best parts in the episode :lmao:

But I didn't like the talking between Buffy/Glory, felt a bit cheesy. lol
Plus Buffy making Riley feel unneeded and unwanted is a bad bad thing.
There were some great moments and some bad moments in this episode, and I didn't hate it.
It was an okay episode. Shadow gets a 7/10

Edit:

Listening to Fear - Episode 9

B: What the hell are you doing in my house?
S: Right, then... caught me. Your basement's full of junk, and me being in need of... junk...
B: You were stealing?
S: Well, yeah. Can't exactly work the counter at Burger Barn, can I?
B: Wait-- are those pictures of me??

:lmao::lmao::lmao:

The only ups in this episode for me were the small connection we see of Glory/Ben,
Joyce realizing Dawn isn't hers, and of course the small bit we get to see of Spike.
The little scooby fight we see where Willow stakes 2 vamps is okay as well just not amazing.
The rest of this episode just felt too weird and un-Buffy, for me. Even the monster was ... eh...

I give this episode Listening to Fear a 6/10


I loved Buffy in school and we are seeing none of that, she is growing up and I am wanting to see her more schol Buffy
But all we keep seeing is Buffy acting like an adult and i know it will continue i just want her to act younger again lol

[TabulaRasa]

Season 5 is Rock 'em Sock 'em. I love it!

[GATEGOD]

Into the Woods - Episode 10

This episode was pretty good. I loved how Spike was becoming more a stalker this episode.
Plus I loved that Riley pretended to kill him lol, for a second i thought spike was really dead.
Haha, I love there little talk afterwards. But my all time favorite scene is most assuringly Xander/Buffy heart to heart.
Xander: You gonna let him go?
Buffy: It's not my decision to make.
Xander: Of course it is.
Buffy: Well, it's not fair!
Xander: Who cares if it's fair? In about twenty minutes, Riley's gonna disappear, maybe forever, unless you do something to stop him.
Buffy: What am I supposed to do? Beg him to stay?
Xander: Why wouldn't you? To keep Riley here you—
Buffy: I don't even know who he is anymore! I mean, I thought he was... dependable.
Xander: Dependable? What is he, State Farm?
Buffy: You know what I mean.
Xander: Yeah. I think you mean convenient. I think you took it for granted that he was gonna show up when you wanted him to, and take off when you didn't.
Buffy: Look who's talking. Look who has Anya following him around like a lovesick puppy.
Xander: Oh boy, is this not about me.
Buffy: Is she more than a convenience? 'Cause that would kinda be a surprise!
Xander: (angry) If you don't wanna hear what I have to say, I'll shut up right now.
Buffy: Good, 'cause I don't.
Xander: I lied. See, what I think, you got burned with Angel, then Riley shows up.
Buffy: I know the story, Xander.
Xander: But you missed the point. You shut down, Buffy. And you've been treating Riley like the rebound guy. When he's the one that comes along once in a lifetime. He's never held back with you. He's risked everything. And you're about to let him fly because you don't like ultimatums? If he's not the guy, if what he needs from you just isn't there, let him go. Break his heart, and make it a clean break. But if you really think you can love this guy... I'm talking scary, messy, no-emotions-barred need... if you're ready for that... then think about what you're about to lose.
Buffy: Xander...
Xander: Run.

And you can't help but love his next Quote when he's with Anya
Xander: I gotta say something 'cause I don't think I've made it clear. I'm in love with you.
Powerfully, painfully in love. The things you do... the way you think... the way you move...
I get excited every time I'm about to see you. You make me feel like I've never felt before in my life
-- like a man. I just thought you might wanna know. *they start kissing* very cute moment.
Sad that Buffy never got to Riley in time though after she realized she did actually want him.
And was willing to say she needed him. Riley saw her at the end I thought but just sat there in the copter right?

Just for Xander's perfect lines to both Anya and Buffy Into the Woods gets a 8.5/10
Xander was a GOD in this episode and made it for me!! I loved it!

[GATEGOD]

Triangle - Episode 11

Beautiful scene between Xander and Anya in the beginning and an even better one with Dawn and Buffy.
I'm gradually liking her, this scenes helps me see that alot. How they were talking about Riley together was sweet.
:lmao: lol! Spike obsessing about Buffy toa 'dummy' and then beating it over the head with a box of candy :lmao:

Anya and Willow are hilarious throughout the episode ^_^. They are so great together.
I can't keep my eyes off the screen whenever they are together I'm loving there chemistry.
Another big plus is Xander and Spike 'hanging out' shooting pool, and talking about there problems.
Spike keeps nestling his way into the gang's lives. Plus plus plus!
Xander: "Maybe you could fight him." :lmao:
Spike: "Yea I could do that, but I'm paralized with not caring very much."

The troll and his quest for babies :lmao: lol they made it so hilarious.
Xander: "We can have a calm talk and something to eat."
Olaf: "Can it be babies?"
Xander: "Well not so much." olaf growls :lmao:

lol and Buffy not giving props to Spike for not feeding off helpless bleeding victims, i would have given him props lol!
And Xander going toe to toe with the troll very well done. But then the ultimatum of choosing which one lives ahhh!!
Then it gets even better when Anya tells him to choose her and let Xander go.
It's so cute how much Xander and Anya love each other. And how much it's grown since they first started.
Once Buffy gets there and Olaf starts telling her Xander and Anya's love will never last, haha, Buffy wigs out.
Bye bye Olaf, I loved this episode! lots of Spike! lots of Anya! and lots of Xander only thing missing is Oz :(

^_^ I'd give Triangle a 8.5/10

[GATEGOD]

Checkpoint - episode 12

I loved this episode! The beginning was a bit lacking but from then on out it was fantastic!
Spike and Buffy's relationship and there comments towards one another when he stakes a vamp for her were mean yet got her attention.
And later on he had even better lines when Buffy brought her family to him.
I thought he'd jump at the chance to help her but he slow played it. Very weird lol but It worked.
The watchers council all pompous and mean were perfect. I hated them of course as they were meant to be ^_^
And Anya was hilarious throughout the episode pretending she wasn't a demon around all of the watchers.
I loved the questioning of Buffy's friends the most out of almost all the scenes. It merged so well with the story.
Anya going off on a tangent about how she's human, willow and tara saying there gay.
Then there was spike :lmao: who made this scene even more enjoyable. His lines were so hilarious!!!
I was like nooo spike nooo lol why are you saying that!!!! lol :lmao: I loved it

Spike: "I pitch in when she pays me."
Watcher:"She pays you? She gives you money?"
Spike: "Money,little nip of blood out of some stray victim. Whatever."
Watcher: "Blood?"
Spike:"Well.. If they are going to die anyway...come to think of it though that's a bit scandalous though isn't it. Personally I'm shocked the girls slipping."
Watcher : "So you've seen a decline in her work?"
Spike: " Oh yea, see poor little twig can't keep a man, gets her all down, few more disappointments she'll be crying on my shoulder mark my word."
Watcher: "Is that what you want." :lmao:

Great scene indeed. But it can't top the final scene in which buffy sticks it to the watchers.
Making them reinstate Giles, giving her the information, allowing her friends to stay and following her lead.
It was a brilliantly done scene, and the group cheer at the end is a perfect Buffy moment!
Then even better we get left with an awkward silence when the watchers finally tell her the information lol!!

B: The magic shop will remain open, Mr. Giles will stay here as my official Watcher, reinstated at full salary.
G: [coughing] Retroactive.
B: To be paid retroactively from the month he was fired.

B: I will continue my work with the help of my friends.
Watcher: I-I, uh, I don't want a sword thrown at me, but... civilians... we're talking about children.
B: We're talking about two very powerful witches, and a thousand-year-old ex-demon.
A: Willow's a demon?!

Watcher: The boy? No power there.
B: "The boy's" clocked more field time than all of you combined. He's part of the unit.
W: That's Riley-speak.
X: I've clocked field time!

I give this amazing episode Checkpoint a 9/10

[GATEGOD]

Blood Ties - episode 13

lol Dawn asks spike Are you giving Buffy a birthday present.... :lmao: spike is so cute this episode.
Then he walks with her because it might be dangerous for her alone ^_^ what a nice guy.
Really awkward how Dawn finds out her real identity though. They're reading through the thing and you just know it's in there.
Your praying she doesn't see it, yet you still want her too lol. Then Spike takes the thing and reads that part...
Like woah! how do you think she would feel realizing she isn't real. That everything has been a lie.
Very very impressive story. Then we finally learn how Ben knows Glory, and if i didn't already know i'd be "WOAH!"
I also loved the scene where Buffy goes to confront Spike, and Spikes tells it to her, rightfully.
Then the whole search for Dawn, and Spike teaming up with Buffy ^_^ and Spike comforting her.
He's moving in she better watch out :lmao: Only thing that annoyed me was Dawns screeching voice ^.^
:coolman:

I liked this episode, Blood Ties gets a 8/10

[GATEGOD]

Crush - Episode 14

I loved how the episode started out when spike tries to have a conversation with Buffy and she keeps pushing him away. lol then he steals Xander's money.
I thought it was going to be Drucilla who killed all those people on the train, but didn't really know it, lol, til i saw her!
She's always great with spike. They explained the whole previous Angel episodes off-screen though :lmao: which i guess is okay.
Harmony pretending to be Buffy for a 'game' is hilarious even though there are atleast 10 better scenes in this episode. It was still priceless.
A scene i really enjoyed was when Spike was telling Dawn a scary story about his past deeds, then Buffy comes in right before he finishes.
:lmao: Then Dawn telling Buffy Spike loves her and all she can say is "huh..." then it cuts away.
Buffy then tries to tell Xander that Spike likes her and he starts laughing. I couldn't help laughing right along with him.
Buffy: "I'm not joking" Spike: "I hope not, it's funnier if it's true.":lmao:
Seeing Spike later on in her home and she acts all awkward, it's cute!! Even when he's just going for a flask she squirms, lol
Spike is amazing this episode. And that's not even half the episode. Then Drucilla emerges and Spike tries to be big bad again.
But stops himself and ties them both up, lol and forgets about Harmony! :cheering: Buffy still turns him down :(
And he looses Harmony and Drucilla :( Harmony it doesn't matter, but him and Drucilla could been great together!!
Anyways, the Spike getting dissed is sad, and all his girls leaving, is almost as bad. But atleast he is still alive lol!
I liked this episode mainly for the Spike-age.
But you can't not love Drucilla ^_^ I do I give Crush a 9/10

I was made for you - Episode 15

The start of this episode was funny, Buffy talking about Spike and punching Xander suit senseless. lol
It was cute how she hugged him after he said
"Or maybe you could be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart and fall in love with you."
"Xander that's, awwwwww" Loved the beginning scene, it was so cute and funny!!
Didn't like dawn and mom and buffy scene afterwards though lol, it was a bit strange. The scene after that was great though.
Anya is always enjoyable to watch, and learning that she's computer savy is cool. A very smart and money making girl ^_^ I love her ^_^
Throughout the ep Xander keeps mentioning other girls and dancing with Buffy, but she doesn't mind because she loves Xander.
She knows Xander loves her right back and he wouldn't do something to ruin it. She was great this episode!
Now Buffy going for Ben ...eh...eww. I also didn't like how the gang was all Spike hating when he came to the Magic Box.
oooo and the Oz mention. They mentioned OZ!!!!!!! I love Oz!! and they mentioned Oz!!!

The entire story going on with the robot girl was a bit strange and i didn't really like it. Kind of bad. lol
The characters in the story were great though, Spike, Anya, Buffy, Willow, etc. Not Giles! he dissed Spike!!
The introducing of Warren was good though, because he comes back ^_^ but I only remember bits of it.
Oh, and Spike wanting a Buffy Bot is creepy... If only Real Buffy would accept him !!
The last thing that is a BIG thing is the horribly sad ending to this episode when Buffy comes home and finds her mother... Dead..
Well I think she's dead .. I haven't started the next episode yet. I never loved her character, but Buffy has soo much to deal with.
She never has a moments rest, they keep placing her in very sad situations. I can't help but feel for her.
Buffy: "Mom...mom...mommy..." :( very sad.

Pluses in this Ep were Anya, Xander, and Buffy.
Downers were the denial of Spike, the meanness of Giles, and the horrific story.

All and all I liked most of it. I was made for you gets a 7/10

The Body - Episode 16


woah, Alright,

I just watched this episode, And "woah" It was so heartbreaking and traumatic.
Where to start... The beginning. I liked how they used the last scene from the previous episode to begin this episode.
It really was the only way to show you what was happening. Buffy's line was so sad :(
I was a bit confused with the next scene but after it I understood what it was for.
Next when she runs to the telephone to call 911 and cracks her mothers rib trying to give her cpr :*(
"I broke something" "She's cold." "Should I make her warm." :( and she stands and heres a car drive bye waiting for them to arrive :(
Very sad. How awkward and sad it was when the paramedics came and there was nothing they could do.
I loved the way throughout the episode how they played with the sound and how they shot it was so right for this episode.
How she had to tell Dawn, and in front of all those people and Dawn loosing it was traumatic. This whole ep was traumatic.
When we see Willow then transitions to Anya and Xander driving to meet them. The way Anya and Xander look. :cry:
Plus Willow she was perfect. The way she acted, what she said, what she did . She shined in this episode.
Anya was perfect too. She kept asking all these questions :( and as I said before the silence was used beautifully.

The best line in this episode came next:
Anya: "I don't understand! I don't understand how this all happens. How we go through this. I mean, I knew her, and then she's... there's just a body, and I don't understand why she just can't get back in it and not be dead anymore. It's stupid. It's mortal and stupid. And Xander's crying and not talking. And I was having fruit punch, and I thought, well, Joyce will never have any more fruit punch, ever. And she'll never have eggs or yawn or brush her hair. Not ever. And no one will explain to me why."

It really didn't even hit me until Anya spoke those words tears and all :cry: she really brought the feeling out.
The rest of the story kept the pace of the episode and was pretty good. The only thing I didn't like was the very end.
When Dawn is in the morge wanting to see her mom's body. I was hoping, praying, that for one ep, there wouldn't be a demon.
Then of course a vampire wakes up and attacks Dawn... :( Only downside in the whole episode, but I guess they had to it is BTVS.

Anyway, the story was great, the scenes were perfect, the sound and how it was shot were extraordinary. This episode was near perfect.
I'm loving Anya, sad for Buffy - {as always} and was glad Spike didn;t make an appearance, and I Love spike. He just wouldn't have 'worked' for the ep.
I loved the episode, and want to do something spectacular so here it is.
I give The Body my first ever 10/10 :cheering::cheering:

hehe It was a really great episode!

[GATEGOD]

Forever - Episode 17

This episode I didn't really enjoy. It had it's few great Buffy moments as always but it wasn't all there for me.
I guess after seeing The Body this one couldn't look great compared to it.
I loved that Spike brought Joyce some flowers, didn't like how Xander acted towards spike though.
The other good things about the episode were of course seeing a tiny bit of Angel and Ben stabbing demon guy ^.^
Oh and Anya was cute in this episode aswell. The rest was just 'okay' nothing special that I really loved.

Anya: "Hmmm... that was different."
Xander: "Yeah, it was more intense."
Anya: "Because of Joyce."
Xander: "Yeah... What?"
haha that was a great scene ^_^

It was an okay episode, not horrific, but not great.
I give Forever a 6/10



Intervention - Episode 18

Now this episode I liked alot more then the one before it.
The beginning worried me a bit but it got alot better after the first 10 minutes.
I enjoyed Spike and his Buffy Bot, lol I didn't think I would but it was cute and freaky ^.^
Love that spike lol 'loved' :whistle: , the Buffy Bot.. many many times. And Xander and Anya saw them in the cemetery ^.^
When Glory captured Spike I was like 'nooooooooo' not spike!!!! I didn;t like how none of them had faith in him to keep the secret.
But he loved Buffy, we know that and we new he would of course he would...well I hoped he would ^_^
And he did, so yay! spike. Even though she tortured him and hurt him, he couldn't do that to Buffy.
Sad thing was Buffy Bot short circuiting after she tried to help Giles. Spike escaped though, smart Vamp that he is ^_^
The last scene was cute. Probably the best in the episode!

Buffy as Buffybot: "Spike! You're covered in sexy wounds!"

Spike (Buffy as the Buffybot, prompts Spike to explain why he didn't tell Glory who the key was.):
"Because Buffy — the other, not-so-pleasant Buffy... anything happened to Dawn, it'd destroy her,
and I couldn't live with her being in that much pain. I'd let Glory kill me first. Nearly bloody did."

*Buffy Kisses Spike* "What you did for me and Dawn, that was real. I won't forget it."

At least Buffy finally see's how much Spike cares about her, that is a huge huge plus!
There was somewhat of a good story wrapped in this episode too >.>
I liked this episode, Intervention gets a 8/10

[GATEGOD]

Tough Love - Episode 19

This episode was pretty good, not spectacular but good none the less ^_^
I liked how Buffy acted when she was both Dropping her classes and with the school principal for Dawn.
The other things in this episode that caught my attention were willow and tara actually fighting.
Then of course Glory being a b*tch and braking tara's hand then making her go crazy.
Hmmm oh, and I loved Willow going big and bad with her magic this episode. Very cool indeed.
The rest of the story I didn't like that much. You have a fight so that person you fought with has something terrible happen to them...
Yea, and well I'm not a big Tara fan so her going crazy didn't really affect me but it's sad seeing Willow upset.
I love how Buffy can trust Spike with Dawn now. He's getting closer and closer and ;)

Giles: "Girls, get the twine that's on the counter. Let's tie him up."
<sickening off-screen crunch while their backs are turned>
Minion: Aggh! Don't! I'll tell you anything! Please! Whatever you want! Just... anything!
Anya: "What happened?"
Giles: "He changed his mind."

Well I give Tough Love a 7/10

Spiral - Episode 20

This episode was Great! Better then the last one for sure. It felt lot different than it too.
Glory figures out who the key is, they all get together and head for the hills, in the mobile home thing Spike stole ^_^
Everyone hating on Spike because why is he here arg arg. And spike wering those goggles is hilarious!
I also loved when the guy shoved a sword down and it nearly hit Buffy but Spike caught it with his bare hands.
'Ouch' to say the least. And crazy Tara nearly lighting him on fire :lmao:
I also liked Xander in the episode, even though he did nothing and sat there all girly man.
Near the end he did light a cigarette for Spike, and that is a plus.
Buffy calling Ben is smart but then again Ben is Glory and she should have connected the two .. well she couldn't have but she should've.
Ben not killing Dawn shows he is a good person, i liked that.
And the guest star who was the general delivered his lines quote well. I liked his part... until Glory did him in.
I couldn't believe Spike didn't hurt anyone til almost the end where he punches one guy.. and his head hurts.
I thought he had hurt quite a few on the road, lol and he didn't even hurt one ^_^
And I thought i was paying attention! From the beginning this episode had a season finale feel to it.
I don't know why but it felt like it could be the season ender.. except of course the ending.
The chase by the knights, Giles getting hit, 'Had a wash flashback' ;) completely off topic.
A few lines I enjoyed were:

Glory: "Last words, Slay-runt?"
Buffy: "Just one-- Truck."

Anya: "Anybody else feel that?"
Willow: "What?"
Anya: "Cold draft of paralyzing fear?"

I give Spiral a 8/10

[GATEGOD]

Weight of the World - Episode 21

The beginning with the wird looking minions was great ^_^ "It was he who blasphemed your magnificence!" :lmao:
Even though I don't love Glory, she was pretty good this episode, Ben seeping through changing her haha.
Crazy Glory.. well isn't very different from what we've seen of her from before just a bit funnier!
I found it hilarious when Spike was trying to explain to everyone who Ben was and they were like "say wahh??"

Spike: "Is everyone here very stoned?"

Spike: "Ben. Glory. He's a doctor, she's The Beast. Two entirely separate entities sharing one body. It's like a bloody sitcom. Surely you remember?"

Giles: "Excellent. Now: do we suspect that there's some kind of connection between Ben and Glory?"

Hilarious scene, and they still can't see that Ben was Glory, very cool thing making it so no one can know the truth.
What little lines Anya had I loved!. But the Buffy Willow spell dream mind thing was a bit strange.
The only good thing about was when Buffy finally told Willow why she 'Killed Dawn'.
Then when she comes out of it she starts crying :( Buffy has gone through soo many different things.
And usually one after another after another, it was only a matter of time before she cracked.
Spike and Xander not killing each other and somewhat getting along is always a big plus.
Xander killing that Demon weirdo haha, got to love that. And as I said already I liked this scene:

BOOKSHELF BUFFY: This was when I quit, Will.
WILLOW: "You did?"
BUFFY: "Just for a second."
BOOKSHELF BUFFY: "I remember I was in the magic shop. I put a book back for Giles. Nothing special about it. And then, it hit me."
WILLOW: "What hit you?"
BUFFY: "I can't beat Glory."
BOOKSHELF BUFFY: "Glory's going to win."
WILLOW: "You can't know that."
BUFFY: "I didn't just know it."
BOOKSHELF BUFFY: "I felt it. Glory will beat me."
BUFFY: "And in that second of knowing it, Will ..."
BOOKSHELF BUFFY: "I wanted it to happen."
WILLOW: "Why?"
BOOKSHELF BUFFY: "I wanted it over. This is - all of this - too much for me."
BUFFY: "I just wanted it over."

I thought it could have been a bit better though, the story was fine and moved the show along for the next episode,
but this wasn't a great episode, just an episode to releave some things for the next episode to come.
I give Weight of the World a 7.5/10

Here it goes the Season Finale! Be back in an hour or so ^_^ :coolman:

Edit:

The Gift - Episode 22

Classic Buffy right from the beginning ^_^ then with the cute "That's what I keep saying." as she walks back into the magic box.
That was so unimportant to the episode though... Idk why it was in it ^.^
I almost didn't like how Spike and Giles snapped at Anya for trying to help. Then she speaks up and helps!! haha I loved it!

Anya: "Okay, but I'm still not hearing enough ideas, she's a god, let's think *outside* the box!"

Spike: "Why don't you go think outside the bleedin' box?"

Giles: "Yes, Anya, apart from your incredibly uninfectious enthusiasm, have you anything to contribute?"

Anya: "The Dagon's Sphere!"

Giles: "Sorry?"

Anya: "When Buffy first met Glory she found that magical glowy sphere that was meant to repel Glory. We've got it in the basement.
It might drive her back, or hurt her... oh! And -- --Olaf the Trollgod's enchanted hammer! You wanna fight a god, use the weapon of a god."

My love for Anya grows deeper each episode! If she never came up with that alot more people would have died.
You can't not love that! And a few scenes later after Anya and Xander have sex he proposes to her ^_^.
Definitely one of the cutest scenes in the episode! "Give it to me when the world doesn't end." :kiss:
Also near the end when she pushes Xander out of the way to save him risking her own life in the process.
She was great this episode... and yes I am going on and on lol. I don't know how I can't she's lovely.
Okay! Spike, He was great this episode. Sad how that weird freaky tongue guy bested him.
You could just feel how sorry he was for Dawn right before he was thrown off onto the ground.
Very sad scene, but even before that when willow go's all physic and Spike dashes by, however short, it was still great.
Oh and my favorite Spike scene from this one would have to be this one

Buffy: "We're not all gonna make it. You know that."

Spike: "Yeah. Hey, I always knew I'd go down fighting."

Buffy: "I'm counting on you. To protect her."

Spike: "'Til the end of the world"

Xander proposing and knocking glory down were his best scenes, Giles on the other hand i didn't like.
He yelled at Buffy, and Anya, and talked about killing Dawn, which would have been great :)
But still ... then he killed Ben... which was evil and mean! ... yet saves them alot of trouble in the end.
So I can;t hate Giles, it's just unfortunate he had to do what he did.
Onto Buffy, she was great in this episode. I loved at the end how you couldn't hear her talking.
Then they voiced it over after she had died :( Very great scene. Gile's line is so true. "She's a hero, you see. She's not like us."
Of course he says that right before he kills Ben... lol anyway, The story and feel of this episode felt alot more like a series finale then a season finale.
I don't know if I'm the only one who felt that way but there was probably a reason to it, or I'm just over thinking the episode. Knowing there is more...

This was a terrific ending for the season, although Spike failed to save Dawn, and Buffy Is dead.
It was still a great episode. I nearly teared up when they panned to the head stone...
Then I cracked up at the same time when I read what was on it. "SHE SAVED THE WORLD | A LOT"
I guess they weren't going for the omg omg Buffy is dead ahhhh, feeling. I didn't get it.
But that is probably because I know there are alot more episodes to come and 2 more seasons ^_^
My favorite lines after Anya's would most certainly be what Buffy said to Dawn before she sacrificed herself.

Buffy: "Dawn listen to me. Listen. I love you. I will *always* love you. This is the work I have to do. Tell Giles... Tell Giles I figured it out.
And... I'm okay. Give my love to my friends. You have to take care of them now -- you have to take care of each other.
You have to be strong. Dawn, the hardest thing in this world is to live in it. Be brave. Live. For me."

Beautiful lines to end a beautiful episode.
I give The Gift a 8.5/10

Well I've finished season 5! Lets see it took lol only 5 days ^_^ but now I have to wait 3-4 more just to start 6.
I'll probably die of going crazy waiting! I know! I'll watch Angel ! :) hehe, okays. :cry: lol
Hopefully my cutting up of the lines to look nice on my 22inch widescreen monitor didn't kill any of your computers.
I just don't like reading the line all the way to the end of the monitor, just looks funny, on my computer ^_^

[GATEGOD]

lol I remember doing this ^_^
When I rewatch the show again I'll definitely have to get the other seasons too :lmao:
Whenever I rewatch the show ^.^ : king :a month ? 2? haha I can't wait!
But first I got to rewatch more things to erase some of the great Buffy moments I already know so I can re-enjoy them.
I've watched Wonderfalls, Tru callings, next Roswell, then maybe some more Angel, season 3/5. Then maybe I'll be ready again!
:cheering:
