Buffy - Primeval 4x21 - Full Reaction

So, welcome to the season finale! Hang on, wait... we have one episode to go. Could have fooled me 🤣

This episode sure did take me by surprise. It was magical, wonderful, scary and tense. I am SO grateful that my Buffy journey has been unspoiled as I never know what to expect with each episode. Thank you to all for biting your tongues as I know it would be REALLY hard sometimes 😅

I've watched/reacted to the next episode so our journey into season 5 is not far off! It's truly been wonderful. And rewatching is only reinforcing my love for the show. I watched the Season 2 finale last night and it was as sad as I remember! I had forgotten what happened to Willow AND Giles! I might have to slow down on the rewatch as I'll be caught up soon 🥹

Buffy - Primeval 4x21 - Full Reaction

Comments

It really does feel like the finale!

Juliette Gaming

In my opinion, this should have been the finale. I don't get the purpose of the next episode. I mean it's cool and all, but still.

Michael Short

I do love that Joss always switches things up! You never really know what to expect, hey 🥰

Juliette Gaming

Yeah, I think having the core group makes more sense 💜

Juliette Gaming

I would give it a re-watch hehe!! I'm up to season 3 already, the first episode! It's just been incredible to see it all again!

Juliette Gaming

Yes, it definitely seems that way! I expected another two-part finale so they really tricked me 🤣

Juliette Gaming

Thank you, Neil 🥰 Thank you for all that you do and for being an amazing friend to me. I hope your weekend is as wonderful as yourself!

Juliette Gaming

I've never seen Chuck, but I'm all for more Jayne! I'm trying to think of his name... isn't it similar to another famous actor? S..... something? BAH! I'm not going to look it up, I'm going to see how good my aging brain really is 🤣

Juliette Gaming

Ooh yes, I think you're right! I watched the Matrix recently and I can definitely see similarities!

Juliette Gaming

Jonathan IS useful 🤣

Lots of action movie references in this episode. The "Super Buffy" action scenes were heavily influenced by the first Matrix movie, which was released one year before. Also Adam reminds me of the Terminator, and the doves are probably a homage to John Woo's movies.

Kevin Karst

They had the spirit, heart, mind and hands. They had what they needed.

I am so beyond excited for your reaction to the finale next week! I find it funny that the Scoobies can thank Jonathan's reality altering spell for Riley finding out that Adam could only be defeated by removing his power core.

Iirc the showrunners were never sure if there would be a new season and so the finale was always written as if it was going to be the last episode. However with this season they already knew that there would be a season 5 and so Joss, bored with the 2 part epic finale, wanted to try something different. I really enjoined this finale and the enjoining spell in particular, Willow's spellcraft has really come on this season under Tara's tutelage, and the combo Buffy with the voices of all the Scoobies was fun to watch. Looking forward to your reaction to the next episode finale!?!

Gary Marshall

Such a brilliant episode! Looking forward to your reaction to the next one, then onto season five! Watching your reactions are making me want to re-watch more Buffy lol

Melanie

I think Tara was not there because the joining spell, actually kind of becoming one entity, is probably an extremely intimate thing. While Tara and Buffy are friends they don't nearly have the connection that the rest of the group has. Also, I didn't think about it until recently but the final battle of Adam and Buffy is a fight between people and creatures forced together against their will (Adam) and people willingly joining together (Buffy). I love that dichotomy.

Jonathan Hall

I absolutely LOVE Chuck! Such a great show 😊

Melanie

It's always funny when reactors get to this point and are so confused, thinking they somehow skipped an episode or something. lol I always consider this episode to be the finale, and the next episode I just think of as a fun little special bonus episode.

Britney

Great not-actually-the-finale! Buffy looked like she was in the Matrix at the end there fighting Adam. Very cool! The scene with the government agents talking about how the experiment failed and to fill the initiative in with concrete always gives me a strong X Files vibe for some reason. Since you talked about Spike, I've always loved him ever since he first showed up, whether he's in full on evil mode or not, but it did seem to me that the writers didn't quite know where to take his character this season though. And also since you mentioned your rewatch is catching up, if you're ever looking for a show to watch in your free time I very much recommend Chuck. It has a lot of the same things you love about Buffy. Action, drama, comedy, great characters, great storylines, and just a whole lot of heart. (Also the actor who played Jayne in Firefly stars in it) I very much enjoyed your reaction to this one Juliette. Hope you have a great weekend.

Neil Hanson

Yeah, I realised that afterwards that it was symbolic of them to use the core gang 🥹 even though we have grown to love both Anya and Tara, it's all about the Scoobs coming together even after all they've been through 💜

Juliette Gaming

It was NOT what I was expecting from this episode 🤣 I wonder if they did that on purpose, to keep us on our toes!

Juliette Gaming

We were all confused by this being episode 21 and having 1 more to go. Since you already watched it I'll say 22 is my favorite of the season and is packed with info and foreshadowing.

Stephen Knueppel

I really like this not-quite-finale. The super-Buffy is just so cool. So is Adam, but the joined gang is cooler still. That fight is just epic. Tara being part of the spell would've been nice, but for the symbology it had to be the four core characters. And since you've already watched it, it's safe to say that I can't wait to see what you think of the next one!
