Episode 3- The Witch

Summary:

Buffy decides to try out for the cheerleading team. During trials, the hands of a girl named Amber spontaneously combust. Amy Madison seems to be under strong pressure from her winning mother, a star cheerleader in her day, and is crushed when she only makes the substitute list after Cordelia Chase and Buffy. An unknown person is bewitching Barbie dolls over a cauldron. Next thing is that Cordelia cannot see, which she proves the hard way during driving instruction, and is just saved in the nick of time by Buffy. According to Giles, blinding enemies is a favourite trick amongst witches.

To prove that Amy is a witch, Buffy, Xander and Willow collect eye of newt and some of Amy's hair during science class, and prove that she has cast a spell. Amy comes home and tells her mother to get with her homework — while she goes upstairs with Buffy's bracelet that she stole while Buffy was collecting her hair.

The next morning, a slightly manic Buffy blows her chance at the cheerleading squad when she tosses another girl through the room, ceding her slot to none other than Amy. Buffy turns out to have a bloodstone vengeance spell has destroyed her immune system, giving her only about three hours to live. The only way to cure her and break the other spells is to get the witch's spell book. The ailing Buffy and Giles go confront Amy's mother Catherine, and find the real Amy inhabiting Catherine's body: Catherine, months ago, had done a spell to switch bodies, saying that Amy was wasting her youth. Giles finds the witch's book and takes Amy and Buffy back to school to break the spells. Buffy is fading fast.

Thoughts?

My thoughts on this episode are cool. At the very end of the episode they put Amys mom into a Cheerleading trophy doll. I like this episode alot, its probably my favorite in the first season, Because its unpredictable. I would never have guessed that the Amy that was at school was really her Mom. Even when they showed Amy at home bossing her mom around. I was too stupid to realize that that wasnt Amy. I love how at the end they show Amy's moms eyes scared in the statue. :)

Episode 2- The Harvest

Summary:
This episode picks up where the series premiere left off. Luke is about to finish off Buffy, who is trapped in a stone coffin, but is repelled by the silver cross that a mysterious stranger had given her earlier that evening.


Buffy escapes the mausoleum and saves Xander and Willow from vampires in the graveyard. Darla has taken Jesse, however. She and Luke inform The Master that there is probably a Slayer in town. The Master decides to use Jesse as bait.


Giles and Buffy give Xander and Willow a brief introduction to the world of vampires, demons and Slayers. Willow accesses the city council's plans for Sunnydale's tunnel system. In a flashback, Buffy realizes that there must be an access to it in the crypt. Xander is hurt when Buffy declines his help and follows her anyway.


Willow is researching the Master in the computer lab when Cordelia trash-talks about Buffy and insults Willow again. In a fine show of nerd revenge, Willow convinces Cordelia to press the DEL key to "deliver" her assignment. It ended up erasing her hard work. The dark stranger appears just as Buffy is about to enter the tunnel system in the crypt. He is named Angel. He gives her directions to The Master's lair, but only wishes her luck after she is out of earshot.


Xander catches up with Buffy. They find Jesse, who leads them into a trap. They barely escape, with Xander pulling Buffy out of a manhole. Underground, The Master is unhappy about their escape and punishes the vampire Collin by poking his eye out. Luke drinks the Master's blood, turning Luke into the Vessel. Every soul Luke now takes will give the Master more strength to break out of his confinement.


Buffy and Xander return to the library. Giles explains that the Master arrived 60 years ago to open the Hellmouth, a portal to another reality, but was swallowed by an earthquake. He is now hoping to escape with the help of a Vessel in a once-in-a-century opportunity called "The Harvest." To prevent the Master from escaping and opening the Hellmouth, they must kill the Vessel. Xander suggests that the vampires will be at The Bronze.


On her way there, Buffy swings by her house to get weapons, and is promptly grounded by her mother, who has been called by the Principal about Buffy skipping classes. Buffy grabs her weapons and climbs out her window.
Luke and other vampires burst into The Bronze and start the killing. Buffy arrives in time to save Cordelia. She also notices the Vessel mark on Luke's forehead. Xander ends up staking Jesse. Willow pours holy water on Darla when she is about to bite Giles. Buffy tricks Luke to win her fight. The other vampires flee. Outside The Bronze, Angel realizes that Buffy has done it and is suprised.


Thoughts?
I think that Jessie should've been in more than two episodes, he was a cool character. I also don't like Darla, she's not very nice. But she's really pretty!! Just not when she's a vampire..then she's creepy! Luke was funny and reminded me of Arnold Swartzenegger.Too bad he died. I love Buffy's witty comments after every slay and pre-slay. She makes me laugh. Overall these two episodes were a pretty good start to the series.

Episode 1- Welcome to the Hellmouth

Summary:
A young vampire Slayer, Buffy Summers, has left her home in L.A. and has moved to Sunnydale, the home of the Hellmouth. Buffy, now at a new high school, is trying for a fresh start at a normal life. She is not the least bit thrilled when she finds out that the new librarian, Rupert Giles, was sent to Sunnydale as her Watcher and wants her to resume her Slayer duties. He explains to her that the city is located directly above the mouth of Hell, and he warns her of all the dangers she must face. Buffy, though, wants to be no part of this. She later meets a mysterious stranger named Angel, who reiterates everything Giles has told her and warns her of the impending vampire ritual known as the Harvest. Meanwhile, Buffy's new friends, Xander and Willow, find themselves in grave danger when they get involved with vampires.


Thoughts:
Episode 1, Season1. When Buffy burns down her old school because of all the vampires. If this episode i dont really like the acting. Exept for Giles... he's always a good actor. I love how Buffy meets Willow. I also love when The Master is risin' and my sister says "Its Voldemorts Brother!" That made me giggle! Cordy was being annoying calling her a freak. Saying that Buffy tried to kill her and said a bunch of lies. I love Xander and i wish Jesse were in more than 2 episodes...

Buffy Explaination 1

When i first started Buffy the Vampire Slayer, i started on Season 4. My sister was watching it on Netflix in my basement, and i went down to see her and she was watching it. Then ... i got hooked. I watched from the 4th Season-7th Season. Then i started at Season 1 and went through Season 3. I was absolutely obsessed with the series by season 5. I would watch a season in a weekend.
I have always loved Spike. When i started, he wasnt all that mean of a vampire. And when I went back i didnt think I'd like him that much. Turns out I love him even more! In the first few seasons, he's hilarious! When i first watched the first season, i was disappointed of how "lame" it was. It improved alot. But, i got into the drama again and enjoyed it much by mid Season 1.
