Spike is like Clone Wars-General Grevious lol L after L

Great reactions to Buffy/Angel. Even when this first aired and I was closer to the characters in age, the moment Parker started being all feel sad for me, I knew he was not a great guy. Poor Buffy getting another unhappy experience. And yes, the Angel / Buffy relationship was problematic and unhealthy in many ways, but Angel did always truly love her, so it’s sad that her first attempt to move on with a guy is with someone so horrid. Pat, saying he doesn’t see what he did wrong was rather worrying too. Leading women on to get them to sleep with you and then acting like you’d made clear it was casual when you didn’t, is not okay. Weird that that needs to be explained really. As for Angel, it’s still one of my favourite eps for how it adds more depth to him as a character and how selfless he is willing to be to try and make amends for Angelus, which weren’t even his fault.

I immediately thought this was going to be his biggest reason back when it first aired. And re-watching it now through reactors, it's a reason that I think would've made more sense to people.

Loved the reaction to this episode! (Buffy) Some interesting eps. coming up that can't wait for your reaction to. :D I'm actually re-watching Angel along with you guys. I watched it years ago, but I usually skip other reactors reacting to it, as it wasn't really my fav. But, I like that it's just the watch-along. Sad not to see Rana watch, but I see from the Angel ep. she got caught up.

You might have missed it because they didn't upload this week's episodes as their own two separate posts, but rather linked them in a post like this one instead. I know this because i also almost missed them because of this reason lol.

Shockzz1234

??? They put out Bleach episodes every Wednesday.

Bastion33

its not cannon

BradBoimler

You mean Clorox?

There’s an entire city of intelligent Gorillas called Gorilla City

Jonathan Rivera

So fun fact, Monsieur Mallah is in fact not brainwashed. Mallah is actually The Brain’s boyfriend and they just are in love as they do evil stuff to take over the world. Also if you want to differentiate between Grodd and Mallah remember that Grodd has brain powers and Mallah has a barrette and a gun.

Annah Suarez-Domit

What's up with bleach?

Chris Thomas

Chris Skye never actually slept with Ward they only kissed once

Blake

Are yall planning to react to BEEF on Netflix? It’s sooo good!

Malky

Why do some reactors think they would make the main character of the show completely invulnerable. No matter the reason there was no way Angel was keeping that ring

Calvin Allen

His name is Captain Marvel

Calvin Allen

And the Justice League doesn't know Shazam is 10 yet in the show and there is no Gorilla Grodd in the show but there is Ultra-Humanite another super Intelligent Gorilla

BradBoimler

imagine being teens in Young Justice and your being looked after by Shazam a literal child who was more mature then all the Young Justice Team

BradBoimler

We are all Marketa, just wanting buffy to be happy. A theme.

mary smith

Woooooo! SPike Wooooooo! spike shows up more and more - this season with the nnormies is going to so much fun cringy its going to be great.

Ricardo Obregon

In big white letters too, lol.

Nyeisha Melvina Clark

They didn’t directly meet him but they were there when he kidnapped Willow/Xander, plus Cordy was also there when he stormed into the school and tried to kill everyone, they know how dangerous he is without having to actually have interacted with him is what I think they were trying to say.

Nyeisha Melvina Clark

Also THE GOAT!!!!! Like I know that James struggled with playing Spike because of how villainous he is but he is just so damn charismatic that he really elevates the shows Buffy and Angel, when he appears, and his chemistry with almost every actor is just so great, I still can’t get over how much I liked seeing him and Willow interact in 3x08, lol, and let’s not forget him and Buffy’s mom. He’s really great at playing dangerous but also he doesn’t have to be taken too seriously because he can also be funny and kind of a doofus as well, the perfect balance all within one character!!!

Nyeisha Melvina Clark

I appreciate and love ya Marketa for wanting happy Buffy, she's been through so much and that's all I want for her. When I first saw the ep I had hopes in the beginning that Parker might be a nice guy too. Unfortunately we got it wrong 😪

Alicia

imagine if angel kept the ring and became angelus again later lol. huge reason not to keep it.

kyle

When the first season of Angel aired it was the 9pm show right after Buffy at 8pm, so that week I saw Spike on Buffy, then immediately after on Angel

Brendan O'Connor

not gonna be the last time that those goddamn credits spoil some good ass cameo in the Buffyverse like that, dammit! LOOK AWAY

Chris K.

We have Vinland Saga at home.

Johnny Blue

Gotta point out a fairly large elephant in the room with this Angel episode. The writers made it look like Oz and Cordelia has crossed paths with Spike before, when in reality, they've never had a single scene with him. Seriously. Rewatch any Spike episodes, they never meet each other.

Tim Pierce

XANDER: "Whoa, Giles has a TV. Everybody, Giles has a TV! He's shallow like us." OZ: "I got to admit, I'm a little disappointed." 😂😂😂

Ryan of New York

Well said.

Chaos T

I love how much Marketa defended Parker the whole episode until the truth was revealed... and yes if Mickey was a girl I think we all know she would be a messy b***h.

Emptysea93

Captain Marvel/Shazam is voiced by Rob Lowe.

Frankie H

Angel was over 200 years old when he started dating a 16 year old girl. That is a reason. Marketa gave Parker the benefit of a doubt instead of judging him harshly. She did exactly what you wanted. Innocent until proven guilty and all that jazz. What you really meant is that it is acceptable to judge people harshly as long as it isn't Angel. You validated Pajander for judging Parker very harshly w/o any evidence but dislike people judging Angel at all. Seems like your bias has overtaken any reasoning from transpiring. You call people toxic over a TV show. That is judging people very harshly. What did you say would happen when you judge people harshly? End up getting crushed. We can use one word to summarize your comment. Hypocrisy.

Shawn Brink

Right. I laughed at the Parker is better than Angel in the beginning. Hahahaha!!

Alison

Any Vinland Saga Season 2 news?

AnEnthusiasticKoala

Chris, "wild hair up my ass" is a real thing and it's an older saying. My parents and grandparents used to say it though I haven't heard anyone use the term in years until it was said in the Angel reaction.

Chaos T

I have to disagree that it wasn't needed. It's a storyline that hits very closely for me and many other women I know. Womanizing and manipulative characters are so often portrayed in a positive light on TV, so to show it from Buffy's perspective was refreshing and cathartic in a strange way.

Endless_Art

It's just the stock image they use for the show on streaming sites, Disney+ in the UK uses the exact same one

Callie

Kinda weird and by weird I mean screwed up that Buffy’s first two sexual experiences and what came after were so traumatic and horrible, like I always felt like this Parker storyline was absolutely NOT NEEDED.

Nyeisha Melvina Clark

Angel is still bad, and their love story is still trash Angel and Buffy are better characters apart, but Parker is also bad as well. Honestly all of Buffy’s relationships were pretty bad, she definitely had the worst relationships out of her and her friends.

Nyeisha Melvina Clark

Watching Marketa hype up Parker because she hates on Angel for no reason just to turn around and get crushed is a testament to not judging too harshly. Angel 4ever 🕊

CWall

Buffy will always reveal the toxicity in people and how the respond and identify with the characters

CWall

It's scary to me how some people don't see the red flags on Parker when he's basically just screaming fuckboy cliches at the screen. He even has those sociopath eyes.

Pajander

Never talk ish about Angel again. When Angel hurt Buffy he didn’t have a soul. Parker don’t have that excuse. Like I said keep that same energy with Buffy’s partners and we’ll see.

CWall

Why is Spike on the background image with Angel. I know he was in this episode, but I'm afraid to say anything else because of spoilers.

Eddie

Since Suraj brought up Captain Marvel's voice actor I thought it was worth pointing out that he's voiced by Rob Lowe aka Chris Traeger from Parks and Rec

Zack

Is the uncut link not working for anybody else?

Henry Wallace

I just LURVE Buffy/Angel Thursdays..... my happy place.

Shirlene Wright

Excited to see their reaction to the spike reveal omg

anticonstructivist55

Don’t worry everyone, at the end of the discussion they figure out that Mallah is not Grodd…they wanted this pointed out lol

Jermall Keels

Captain Marvel was created by Fawcett Comics. He was Superman's competition until DC bought the rights. When they let them expire Marvel created their Captain Marvel.

Rahsaan

It's so funny that I used to work with a Surge (Sergio) and I always called him "The Surge Protector" because we sold Hvac equipments lol. Mickey we think alike

VeryNeru

no love for sam simeon or solovar? im also putting in detective chimp even though you specified "gorilla" cause he's awesome

rickie woodson

to answer Chris question thats not Grodd thats Mallah most notable appearance as part of the main villains for the Teen Titans tv show in the second to last season. The same for the brain. There are about 3-4 notable sentient gorillas in DC being Grodd, Humanite, Mallah, and Grodds nephew. Maybe Beat Boy if you count him as well.

Trey Milliner-Williams

time to order some food!
