Welcome to the Hellmouth

• When Buffy finds the corpse, her response is “Oh, great.” Self-absorbed much? This guy is dead, and granted she doesn't know him, but still, no human sympathy?




• Notice that Cordelia invites Buffy to the Bronze. Willow doesn't. I picture Willow sitting at the bar feeling unloved because Buffy didn't show, thinking that Buffy acts friendly because she needs help with schoolwork but otherwise isn't interested in hanging with Willow at all. Granted, this says more about me than Willow, but Cordelia knows how to be the center of a crowd. She reaches out to people. Willow remains isolated because she doesn't. Or maybe that's still just me.




• When Luke says, “Hell itself will come to town” does anyone else start singing “Hell itself will come to town, doo-dah, doo-dah. Hell itself will come to town, oh the doo-dah-day.”?

The Harvest

• Buffy kills someone, who's off-screen, with a pool cue. If he was a vamp, he would have dusted standing up and the cue would have fell to the floor. Instead the cue tilts up as if he fell to the floor first. Does anyone else wonder if she just killed a human?

The Witch / Teacher's Pet

• I think it's pretty obvious that Mrs. Madison is a prototype of evil witch Willow, but I think Mrs. Madison, along with Miss French, also foreshadow Jenny Calendar. Granted Jenny isn't evil but all three have dark and similar builds. Jenny is a techno-Pagan rather than a witch but I think that fills a similar role. Giles is attracted to Miss French and then later attracted to Jenny. I'm not sure it means anything but I was musing on the similarity of appearances. And, great, now I want to see Giles / Catherine Madison pairing.

Teacher's Pet

• So people have commented that if Miss French mated with Dr. Gregory, he must be a virgin. The idea of him being a virgin in general seems sort of like high-school student logic. Most teachers, like parents, have never had sex because eww! they're adults and old and I don't want to think on it. I think Dr. Gregory is quite a catch. He's not bad looking, he's fascinated by his work so he'd be interesting to chat with, and he goes out of his way to help his students. I should date someone half as nice.

Season 7 Season 5: I'm not rewatching this yet but I was thinking there's a parallel between Glory wanting to cut Dawn and Dawn cutting herself. I wanted to post about it but I don't have anything to say other than I see a parallel.
