I love it when Cordy shows character) It's not that simple)))
And Oz is just lovely: I didn't understand anything, but I really wanted to punch you :D

"You shouldn't go outside for a few nights, it's better to stay at home."
What's the point? Giles apparently forgot that Angel was invited to her house)

I didn't like the way Buffy said at the beginning that Xander could find someone better than Cordelia. What's wrong with Cordelia? in general, not every popular girl can openly date a nerd (speaking of school stereotypes), and I thought that she and Buffy were friends after all, she insults her behind her back like this. It's not good.

Oh, yeah. If anything, Cordy deserves better than Xander. He certainly showed all his worst qualities in this series

@Diana_451: well, actually, yes, but like he had the sense and dignity to refuse Willow when she was in his bedroom, and refuse Buffy in the library, even though he liked her a lot. Type... It seems to me that most of the boys aged 16-17 would NOT have refused (unfortunately)

@KILLJOYNASTICORN: Since when did Buffy and Cordy become friends? They're more like colleagues. And Cordy is just as unflattering about Buffy.
As for Xander. He really doesn't deserve any girl in love with him.

@Gamulator: What kind of pseudoscientific nonsense is this?
Girls do not "grow up faster", girls have more social responsibility from an early age, and evolution has nothing to do with this. It is enough to open a textbook on sociology or biology to understand this. People with XX and X chromosomes are the SAME species, and the development of the nervous system, the development of the reproductive system, and the development of personality are identical in both sexes. Also, no other species on earth has such a phenomenon as "one sex matures faster", which only proves the inconsistency of this pseudo-theory from an evolutionary point of view.

@KILLJOYNASTICORN: It hurt when Xander told Buffy about spending time with Cordelia " we sat and were silent, such a longing", but at the same time, like making out in the pantry - so nothing, norm, is not boring :D

The series is very cool, again it says that you always need to think about the consequences of your actions. However, I think that Xander with his character does not deserve either Cordelia or Willow, they are too good for him.

The moment with Xander, Dru and Angel is just to tears🤣

And the ending, where Cordelia traded her girlfriends for the loser Xander, reminded me very much of the TV series "Lonely Hearts", there was the same one-on-one moment)

I feel so sorry for Spike, so helpless and still wagging his tail.

Of course, Xander screwed up in this episode, but on the other hand, the moment with Dru saved Buffy from Angel's attack) Well, in the end Cordelia still realized that real feelings are more important than fake ones. Maybe Xander doesn't deserve Cordelia, but it's up to her to decide))

I liked the series) But he really could have been killed if the witch had refused to help them. Everything happened very timely, in principle, as in all series)

Hannigan, as always, plays back 300%, her tears on the axe are just fine <3
By the way, did everyone notice that the "Buffy rat" has the sexual characteristics of a male (in rats they are very impressive, it was difficult not to notice)? 😅

I understand that Xander acted stupidly and just got emotional and angry, but why does everyone hate him so much? Cordelia sent him in front of everyone on Valentine's Day, when he confessed his feelings to her and gave her a gift, and then she also disgraced him at school, where everyone laughed at him afterwards. And you're saying that Cordy deserves better? She is the same complexed fool, just playing the role of the beauty of the school well.

It's funny to watch Xander in this episode, as they say, be afraid of your desires
Oz is very cute, I hope he continued to be revealed as a character

So he then boarded up the door in the basement of Buffy's house, which opened outwards :)

Magic is not to be trifled with..

first, that trick with Angel (I wouldn't be surprised if the Gypsies did this on purpose, or did they really not assume that he could find a girlfriend? didn't even know?), now here in this series

One of the funniest episodes in the series, possibly the most <3
After all, all the women in Buffy are gorgeous, each in her own way!

The scene with Xander, Drew and Angel was as epic as possible))

The sick Spike looks much more dead and somehow more like a vampire or something) This is if you compare him now with Dru and Angel.

The new voice acting is something, now I understand that it's not just a matter of rough translation with women / men / chicks / etc., but also the stupidity of all sorts of individual phrases. It's not the first time I've noticed this, but now I just can't resist writing. The dialogue between Buffy and Oz is towards the end of the episode, when Buffy is Buffy again, not a rat, but naked.:
"Can you get me some clothes?"
- Yes, I can, but don't go anywhere.
"Where should I go?"
Seriously? It sounds so crooked, you could have come up with something better, like "where am I going?" and it sounds better...
