Running commentary...
- Opening scene was pretty good. Nice to see early Darla.
- Loved the music when Buffy arrived at school.
- Pretty happy with the Willow change. Alyson Hannigan is definitely a better fit but I'm sure that's knowing what she turns into. If it had been the original actress I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have gone there.
- First mention of Dingoes Ate My Baby.
- Definitely miss some of the lost innocence from their early days. I ENJOYED the dark of later seasons but it could definitely be overwhelming (like most of Season 6).
- Wondering if I should have started with the Buffy movie again as part of the re-watch. I've seen the movie many times before but I'm a completest.
- Again really enjoying the music.
- Buffy said "I gotta book". Didn't realize that was a saying in California at that time. We still say it in New England as part of a "certain generation".
- Why on earth would there still be a body long enough into the episode that Buffy would be able to hear the rumor, get to the locker room, and view the body with NO SIGN of a police presence?
- Lovely flip over the banister!
- "Into every generation a slayer is born. One girl in all the world. A chosen one. One born with the strength and skill to hunt the vampires. To stop the spread of their evil blah, blah, blah.
- Already mentioning in the first episode that it's not just vampires. Zombies, werewolves, etc.
- Watchers serve to guide the slayer. Again, why do they get paid instead of the slayer...?
- Miss the Xander that I could actually like before he got all self righteous and annoying.
- Wow, the vampires in this show put in way more work than seems necessary to make a kill. All with the fake datey stuff.
- I'm glad they had the opportunity to make this into a better first episode. I liked it much better with better production values and better dusting.
- Xander's "I don't like to date girl's that I'm afraid of" comment to Darla ends up being quite a bit of foreshadowing of his future love life.
- In this one, Xander hides behind his Willow instead of his Buffy. LOL!
- Definitely SMG was the best option out of the potential Buffy's. I can't see Charisma or Mercedes pulling off the perky.
- Loved the final music as well.
