Buffy is rough, looking back. There are like 5 great episodes, 10 more plot relevant episodes, and then a lot of filler.

Hopefully you aren't watching the remastered one. They fucked up the color tones horribly. Which makes a already rough show 10 times worse than it original was. Watch the original sd version if you can.

Here is a video showing how horrible the remaster is compared to the original. Everything looks like a close up and everyone is red.

They also made it widescreen which the show wasn't meant to be. What's more, they did it badly. So they crop out parts of the original shot for the widescreen. And sometimes they use the original (still badly cropped) footage, but you can see equipment, crew members, or characters standing motionless when they should be speaking offscreen.

I think its the HD version.

S1 E4: Teachers Pet

Sexy giant bug teacher. With rapey overtones. Yuck. I completely forgot about this episode.

Ahh, then its the standard version, thankfully. This is in 4:3

This one was a bit of a snorefest.

Why does nobody find it weird that the librarian is constantly hanging out with school kids?

I rewatched it when I was a freshmen in high school. I was thrown off by how old they looked in comparison. When I was little and watched, I thought how high schoolers looked.

S1 E6: The Pack

The dialogue is a bit snappier. Theres a fairly problematic scene that I feel wouldnt have been put in these days. Other than that its a pretty good episode. Poor Flutie. Also, my god 90s cool clothes.

Can't remember the episode off the top of my head. What scene?

I like watching Angel a lot, maybe 8/10, and the highs in Buffy are really high, but the lows are really low. I kind of hated a lot of season... 4 I think?

But Angel is pretty consistent minus some of the Conner stuff.

Xander is possessed by a hyena spirit and attacks and tries to rape Buffy, basically.

??? Are you applying this to the entire show? Buffy rarely has filler. Plenty of monsters of the week, but there's almost always good character stuff and they nudge the season arc along, usually. Like, half the fun of Buffy is just the dialogue and character interaction.

It was Xanders you know you want it scene while the other possessed kids eat the principal. Other than that, its a pretty good representation of high school. Including eating a live pig. Particularly eating a live pig.

Yeah I knew that going into the show. I had a friend in college who was a little obsessed with the show Angel, and I watched both in full after that maybe in 2007?

Yeah, I knew everything about the show before I started watching it. One of my best friends was obsessed with SMG and would talk about it constantly.

My friend was obsessed with Spike to be more accurate, not just Angel the character or show. She was also really big into vampires but hates the site of blood which kind of amused me.

Thankfully I didn't know a ton going in and knew nothing really about the angel show. Loved how the main fight was against evil demons and an evil law firm. The humor was great as well. Smile time is one of my favorite episodes of anything ever. I could watch it like once a week and not be bored of it.

Pretty sure they use one of the Warcraft II dragon sound effects in this.

This is like watching a documentary on Camels and realised that the imp sound in Doom is actually a camel.

Man, people get so much fanfiction out of this episode <_<

It's also fun to think that due to how hyenas work, Xander was almost certainly possessed by a lady hyena.

S1 E7: Angel

Ooh, the reveal!
The masters red nose is a bit distracting. Hes like a big wrinkly bloodsucking Rudolph with like, Vulcan forehead. Definitely more Joss Whedon style dialogue in this one. Man, Dexters girlfriend is nasty!

Lol she got stabbed.

Man, I miss big huge CRT monitors in bleh grey. Wait, no i dont. Also lol at the obligatory 90s technology episode. I know schools would still have had old computers in 97, but I dont get why everything looks like a really craptacular DOS program. We had Windows 95 by then, or 3.11 at the very least.

S1E11: Out of Mind, Out of Sight

This is actually the first ever episode of Buffy I watched. It was a rerun on cable and I watched it after having to listen to 3 years of a good mate ranting about it and how hot SMG was. Its not a bad episode, certainly better than the ultra low budget previous episode.

The high school angst is strong with this one. Id actually like to know the script writing order, because some episodes really do have more Whedonesque dialogue than others.

Also, just looked up Charisma
Carpenter on Wikipedia. Holy shit.

While swimming in San Diego in 1991, she and two male friends were attacked by Henry Hubbard Jr., a former San Diego police officer and serial rapist, who attempted to subdue them at gunpoint. During the struggle, both her friends and Hubbard were shot, forcing him to flee the scene; both friends survived the attack. Hubbard was arrested, convicted, and sentenced to 56 years in prison for a series of rapes and robberies. Carpenter brought Hubbard's police-issue flashlight from the beach, which he had left at the scene, and the flashlight became a key piece of evidence used against him.[10][11]
