s02e22 — Becoming — Part II

A sad episode.

I cried the whole ending.

An interesting series from my childhood. And the actors...

And how did the blond strangle his beloved if vampires don't need breathing?

No matter how much I look (it seems like the 4th time already), I cry with Buffy every time. And also this creepy music ...
a series after which nothing will be the same as before : (The series will be completely different.
And Xander showed all of himself. Further - worse.
And after each viewing, it is impossible to comprehend what happened. Some emotions overwhelm and such emptiness (((

Spike is unrealistically cool))

- Have we met?
"You hit me with an axe once. Do you remember? "Don't you dare touch my baby!"
- Oh...
- ...
- So you live in the neighborhood?

When I watched the series in action, Angel and Buffy seemed like a real couple and love, I couldn't come to my senses after this episode. How could she?
And Spike and Drew seemed so fucking bad. And Xandrer was a very good friend.
Now I'm reviewing and my opinion has just changed about almost everything and everyone - the love of Buffy and Angel is the love of just typical teenagers, despite the fact that the latter is 240 years old. Drew is just gorgeous, Spike is generally handsome and, despite his bloodlust, not stupid at all. And Xander is still a fool, and this infatuation with Buffy annoys kapets. In general, I watch and make a lot of discoveries for myself

Well, finally the Crutch showed that you are a "real kid", as stated earlier, otherwise you rode almost the whole season in a stroller, splashing bile.

I just want to grind Xander to powder for his cowardice.

And in this house, we infinitely love and respect Willow Rosenberg. Come on, girl!

Is that so cruel, Whedon?

No matter how many times I watch this episode, anger at Xander stirs my soul every time. Damn, how's that? Xander, of course you're a moron. 🤬

I was amazed by both Xander and Buffy's mother! And in general the ending!

Omg, the first full-fledged interaction between Buffy and Spike as allies, and immediately so wonderful))
The chipping of Others is a joy to the eyes.
Buffy is just a heroine in this series, strong, and Sarochka played great.
Well, in general, although I agree with Xander in the sense that Angel deserved to die for all the good things (he doesn't know about the spin-off), his motivation, like his actions, is sometimes disgusting.

I'll just cry on the sidelines.

Spike 💖 the love of my childhood )

Yes, that's why I don't want to review it further than the second season :(

Well, that's it, I finally fell in love with Spike. Just for once or twice. How can you be so cool and charming 🤪😍

The immortal villain saves the world from destruction because he likes to live in it. There were "Good omens" :D

Waaaaa... WOW. The ending is fire. I'm going to be killed, but I didn't want Angel to come back, either he's a villain or he's being killed...But I didn't expect such an end...It's both delicious and sad. Comments about Xander scare me, is he really going to turn out to be scum at all?..I'm watching it for the first time, so I don't understand why everyone admires Drussila? Personally, she annoys me from the first appearance and, to be honest, I was waiting for Spike to finally throw her. But no, he went somewhere with her. And Buffy left, I wonder where she went and what she's going to do. This season, I discovered and liked the characters of Cordelia and Spike. Cordy is a cutie, though peculiar, and Spike stopped playing along with his girlfriend and immediately became a normal person. He's charismatic. I'm not writing about Willow, because she's a bunny from the very beginning and she's getting cooler and cooler. And I found a good guy for myself, I'm just touching their couple and I hope they will be fine in the future.

So far, this is the saddest episode for me. I kept the whole viewing in suspense. And after such an ending, it seems that it will not be the same as before. And it also hurts that Mom never understood Buffy. How far they are from each other, and how cold the relationship between them is, like strangers. I am sad and hurt that Buffy is left all alone. After all, as it turned out, Xander's best friend also acts only for the benefit of his interests, I already wrote about this earlier. But in this series, of course, his even worse qualities showed up. It is very interesting whether this act will be revealed in the future.
Angel... Despite all that he had done in the end, I felt sorry for him. And it's a pity Buffy had to make a choice against her feelings. An incredibly strong series. Such that it sticks in the memory for a very long time, and gives food for thought. That's the note to end the season on. Bravo screenwriters!

Despite the fact that the ending is sad, the series itself is very funny, of course thanks to Spike and Others. It was a wonderful season and one of my favorites, and it was with him that my acquaintance with the series began in childhood. Spike won my heart then, apparently forever, because how many years have passed, and I still like the character. His actions and actions, unlike some other characters, do not seem stupid or absurd, even after so many years. And special thanks for the cheekbones of James Marsters - they are beautiful

A very beautiful final episode. It seems that this is the ending of the whole series and should be.)

A very touching episode. As a child, I remember that I liked Xander more than the other characters (I was about 10 years old :). Now it's just the most infuriating Persian. Spike + Dru = these are such vampire Sid and Nancy. Everything is fine with them, they are very charismatic guys. I would like more Oz. Cordy is the Queen, it's a pity she got this jerk. Buffy's mother is difficult to understand. That is, she was not particularly worried all this time that her daughter was (suddenly) hanging out with a librarian who was old enough to be her father, that she was having an affair with an adult guy, that she fought better than a real cop, and in general, there was always some trash at school. Damn, Maman, a vampire was killed in front of your eyes, how can you deny it?
I understand Buffy's motivation. She doesn't want to put anyone close to her in danger anymore.
The season came out even better than the first, they revealed everything very well. I was glad to see Dru in the image of Miss Kalender, the actress playing Miss Kalender is very beautiful (like everything in this series, however)

I don't care how visible the stuntmen are. I didn't see them as a child, it's probably because of the quality of the TV. But now it hurts my eyes.
But the series is still good.

Guys, can you please explain why the Angel's blood was the key to the statue? And what role did his friend the demon play in all this?

Buffy's mother is just the most finished character. What an idiot. I have all.

❤️

I was just crying a very unexpected ending, how can an Angel only have his soul returned and still have to be killed or what Buffy did, sent him to hell turns out..very sad, their kiss and declaration of love and he disappeared...I can't stomach all this, I was also very angry at his dark side that he killed Jenny, but it's still not really him, as we found out earlier he was bitten, so he was a real person..It's good, of course, that mom now knows that Buffy is the chosen one, but her reaction was of course shocking, I thought it would be better..It's very sad...😭😭😭😭

These casual small talk with crutch:
"Do we know each other?"
- And so, once you hit me with an axe: come on leave my daughter alone


"You killed the Slayer and didn't tell me?"! Well done! Although from your point of view, of course not.

Crutch I liked how I came to the city and here in this series. besides, either I don't care what they're stirring up or annoying. But he's talking business. trindit" I will destroy the world " can be any fool, but why destroy it, and the Angel can really destroy it, and since he likes this world, then why destroy that Angel. Well, not literally, but everyone understood.

well, in addition to all this, I myself did not understand nirazu nafiga for example to the same Vampires of the destruction of the world or specifically people for example, and so on. stupid, apparently.
and here in this series crutch actually directly says Well, you understand.

I wonder if I'll ever stop crying at the end of this episode?
The most terrible thing that Buffy and the audience could give was hope. First, the shock of the changes that have occurred, denial, acceptance. And now both you and Buffy realize that everything has changed - the Angel has changed, he is pure evil, and evil needs to be removed. But then they find a floppy disk, and there's a fucking hope that wasn't there.
It was written above that this is the point of no return, the series will no longer be the same as before. Honestly, I didn't have enough episodes when Buff and Angel were doing well, when they were together and fighting. It was such a short period, and now everything will go one place at a time. And the attitude of others towards her will change. Why would Whedon do this to her?
In the end, when she walks with a bag, so small and fragile, I really want to hug her and feel sorry for her... she didn't deserve such a story.

I don't really understand exactly where Xander is going. Yes, I didn't say it, but we condemn it. But in fact, Buffy realized that the Angel had found a soul, she said goodbye to him, and it was her conscious decision.

Imho, if she had known about the ritual in advance, it could have been distracting during the duel, instilling false hope. She would be constantly looking for signs that don't exist, as a result of which she could die.

Therefore, Xander's concealment of the truth is frowned upon, but in fact it did not affect the final outcome.

Well, why end it so tragically?!...
The case when you know that Angel will have to be returned in the future, but now it's not fun. And to break up with friends, without a mentor, what kind of winner would there be? In short, I don't like change, but I hope everything gets back to normal at least a little.

At least, I did not understand what caused this feature of Angel's blood, and similarly, the imprisonment only through him. It's not even that "a vampire with a soul', but just an Angel

The most favorite season❤️ P.S. I haven't stopped crying over this episode)))
