"Doppelgangland" [3x16] Review by Mikelangelo "MikeJer" Marinaro Posted by MikeJer on January 8, 2006 Writer: Joss WhedonDirector: Joss Whedon Quick Links Spoiler Warning! This is a retrospective review and may contain spoilers from anywhere in the series. Read at your own peril. Review Here represents another Whedon-written success. This episode is everything we've come to expect from BtVS. Willow's self-confidence is the focus and it manages to be hilarious, witty, fun, exciting, and fascinating. There's significant character development and foreshadowing going on and the entertaining Vampire Willow is the reason why it all gets forced out. Plot threads from the season are also seamlessly woven into the story along with development for a reappearing Anya now stuck in a younger body and forced to live as a human again. This is simply wonderful television. Early on Buffy is talking about how if things had turned out differently for her she might be just like Faith is now. Willow responds, "some people just don't have that in them." This is ultimately a correct statement. Some people just don't have an evil bone in them and Buffy, for all her issues, is fundamentally a person who will not do evil. Ever since the S2 episode "Halloween" (2x06) Willow has been slowly gaining and retaining confidence boosts. The problem is that these boosts have been confined within her circle of friends. To the outside world, as iconified by Percy here, she is still weak and accomodating. Her natural growth of confidence just isn't fast enough. All of this explodes to the surface when Buffy calls her "old reliable." She acts out by breaking her routine and turning to black magic. Willow herself fully realizes her perceived problem through Vampire Willow's influence on everyone around her. Willow says about herself, "She bothered me. She's so weak and accommodating. She's always letting people walk all over her, and then she gets cranky with her friends for no reason. I just couldn't let her live." And with that statement she actually has killed off her innocent persona. Percy's newfound respect for her is a confirmation to her that having power makes you important in the eyes of other people. Although her change won't be instant, she takes action to rid herself of this persona as early as "Choices" (3x19) when she volunteers for a dangerous mission, proactively uses her magic in the field, and then stands up to Faith at knife-point. By the time Tara comes into the picture ("Hush" [4x10]) Willow's built a new personality for herself where she is confident in the outside world. The problem is that most of this confidence stems from the power she gets when using black magic. In "Wrecked" (6x10) she says, "if you could be ... you know, plain old Willow or super Willow, who would you be? ... I mean, Buffy, who was I? Just, some girl. Tara didn't even know that girl." That just highlights how much of a turning point this episode actually is for her. If someone had for some reason been reading this review up to this point without seeing the episode, they'd probably be under the impression that this was a serious episode. All of the huge issues that are going on with Willow are expertly wrapped up in a genuinely fun package. Nothing exemplifies this fact more than the scene in the library where Willow walks in when Buffy, Xander, and Giles all thought she was a vampire. Xander runs up to her and sticks a cross in her face, hilariously shakes it a bunch, and then sticks it in her face again. Buffy and Xander then run up to hug her as she asks Giles what the heck is going on. Then Giles runs up and hugs her! After getting a hilariously worried face she poses a question to the group, "Say, you all didn't happen to do a bunch of drugs, did ya?" There are really too many hilarious scenes to even count in this one including Anya's chat with D'Hoffryn, her failure to get beer, Wesley's boyish fright, and the outfit exchange with Vampire Willow. When seeing this episode for the first time I had a genuine good time but didn't think the episode held any lasting importance to the series. Upon review I realize that this has a ton of lasting importance involving Willow's character. All of this wonderful development and foreshadowing is cleverly camoflauged by Whedon as a hilarious throw-away episode. Whedon is a genius (I'm curious how many times I'll end up saying this by series end). Enough said. Minor Pros/Cons (+/-)

Comments (34) All Comments | Link2 | JadenJun 18, 2008 wait so an A episode can beat a P episode in your favourites? All Comments | Link3 | MikeJer | CREATOR/ADMINJun 18, 2008 Yes Jaden, because my Top 25 is more of a personal favorites list (with a little objectivity thrown in) while my reviews are mostly me trying to be objective with a little bit of favoritism thrown in (with some exceptions). But look for a some score tweaking to many of my reviews after I'm done with S7. All Comments | Link4 | TonyJun 19, 2008 Yeah, I loved this episode as well. The beer I.D. thing is hilarious. All Comments | Link5 | BtVSobsessedSep 29, 2008 I got interested in Buffy through iTunes and continued with DVDs. Never saw an episode during the series run and regret it. Now I'm totally hooked and love re-watching episodes. It is a really wonderful show with great depth and complex characterizations, as your reviews clearly show. This is one of my favorite episodes. It's so much fun to re-watch. Alison Hannigan's performance is very impressive. There is such a different tone when she's playing Vamp Willow vs. Willow. There are just two distinct characterizations and it's always clear which one we are seeing, though it seems plausible that the other characters can't tell them apart when they don't know there are two of them. However, one thing that's always bothered me is Faith and Wesley coming cheerfully into the Library joking around after some training. The last time we saw them interact Faith was violently escaping from being transported back to England by Wesley to be tried for killing the Deputy Mayor. I know Faith appeared to turn back to the good side by staking Mr. Trick at the end of Consequences, but this playful camaraderie between Faith and Wesley just doesn't fit. Why doesn't Faith still have to go to England to see the Watcher's Council? Why is Wesley treating her with such ease? Did she really absolve herself of all of her misdeeds (killing Allan Finch, accusing Buffy of the murder, etc.) simply by killing Mr. Trick? Is anyone else bothered by this or am I nitpicking? Or did I miss something? Thanks for the great reviews. All Comments | Link6 | bigmoneygripOct 22, 2008 Favorite parts: The look that Giles and Xander exchanged not only after Willow said "Gosh, look at those" and when Willow jokingly talked about dominatrix, leather and Oz. That was precious. The main guy vamp in the Bronze was amusing. Xander bolting to rescue Willow when he thought she was getting beat up. The quick smile and wave Willow give Oz when she's pretending to be a vamp. When Willow says "bored, now" bad things happen (Angel's torture, Percy getting beat up, Warren losing his skin). All Comments | Link7 | SamNov 27, 2008 This is a great episode--really great. I think it's Whedon's best in S3. It's witty and sexy [Vamp Willow licking Willow=yummy]. She ends up learning a lot about herself as a result, and I think it's about time we got a good Willow-centric ep. Go Joss! All Comments | Link8 | Nathan.TaurusApr 18, 2009 I agree with your comments and myself enjoy the episode, although I rate 'The Wish' higher because you have to suspend belief longer in this episode than the other. The people at the Bronze forget about the expendable vampires who attack them, but it seems more difficult to forget that Willow killed someone as a vamp. I know we find out that the residents know strange things happen in Sunnydale in 'The Prom' but it still hurts the episode for me a little. All Comments | Link9 | willtylerApr 21, 2009 This is one of my favorite episodes. I think that its great when the vamp willow and the norm willow are hugging and the vamp willow smiles and the norm willow jumps back and says "HANDS" classic The other clever instance is when norm willow grabs the tranquilizer gun (her trademark weapon) and shoots vamp willow and all she says is: "bitch." All Comments | Link10 | gilbertSep 20, 2009 The thing I loved most about this episode is that it REALLY gave Alyson Hannigan a chance to show off -- playing, essentially, four different characters. Normal Willow, Vamp Willow, Normal Willow pretending to be Vamp Willow (in the Bronze), and Vamp Willow pretending to be normal Willow (to trick Cordelia). She had to play not just these two very opposite types, but also extrapolate to what each of those people would act like if they were trying to pass themselves off as the other, and she pulled it off brilliantly. All Comments | Link11 | Scoobasteve83Sep 20, 2009 Now I don't know if this can really be considered as forshadowy (GOD, I obviously watched this series too often... ;-)). Vampire Willow has one particular line she uses in both "The Wish" as well as in this episode which is "Bored now!" (SPOILER ALERT) which is exactly what Dark Willow says at the end of Season 6 just before she skins Warren. (SPOILER END) Maybe you should put that one in the foreshadowing section as well, MikeJer. All Comments | Link12 | ChristianSep 23, 2009 I didnt care much for this ep whn I first saw it, but now I really like it. I think its hillarious and has great moments. I like the "Bored now" observation. Willow rocks!! In any of her forms =) All Comments | Link13 | ShannonFeb 10, 2010 @ 4:48pm This is definitely one of my favorite episodes of the whole series. I agree that Willow's little wave and smile to Oz when she first comes into the Bronze in vampire costume is priceless- she is so adorable (and tough!) in this episode. So based on the fact that Anya is doing a spell to try to get her necklace back, it makes sense that she must be aware of the alterna-Sunnydale - I wonder why she never mentions it to anyone. All Comments | Link14 | fray-adjacentMay 26, 2010 @ 10:08am The first time I watched the series, I was delighted to see Willow grow in confidence and in her skill as a witch. I didn't recognize the foreshadowing of Willow using her power to manipulate people and emotions, or to rely on her magical talents and the power they gave her as her source of confidence. Now, as I re-watch, it's very interesting to see how these develop. I think that Willow does undergo quite a bit of "natural" (non-magical) development and confidence-building. We see this really start, as MikeJer has pointed out, in "Halloween" (2x08), but it continues in "The Dark Age" (2x10), when Willow figures out how to solve the demon possession (get it to possess Angel), and in numerous other small moments throughout the next few seasons. Willow's relationship with Oz, who is probably the most emotionally mature of the Scoobies (besides perhaps Giles) at this point, is important too. This is one of the reasons why, even after Tara leaves Willow and she quits magic, Willow still has a self to fall back on, a self that is stronger and more confident than the person we saw in "Welcome to the Hellmouth," even though Willow herself doesn't seem to believe it in "Wrecked." That is the Willow that Tara loves and comes back to in "Entropy," though this Willow is still too fragile to withstand the shock and horror of Tara's death one episode later. But I think there is even more to it than that. Willow has inherent magical talent, a talent that she cultivates into a considerable skill through long, hard work and a desire to do good in the world. In this sense Willow is not so different from Buffy. Yes, Willow sometimes gives in to the temptation to manipulate relationships and people through her power; this is her main failing, and a damn scary one. (Buffy, by comparison, doesn't face this temptation because she doesn't have the power to do those things anyway.) A major part of Willow's growth and increased confidence is through magic, but I don't believe this is always bad. Willow discovers that she has a skill that can contribute enormously to the important work that the Scoobies do, and she loves doing it. That Willow gives into the temptation to use this power unethically shows the ways in which she still is not confident in herself. But that doesn't mean that magic, or the confidence (and even joy) that Willow derives from practicing it, is inherently bad. We see this in Willow in Season 7. Although Willow is afraid of her power, she knows it is an inherent part of her, and she develops the strong solid core self that she needs to use that power for the good instead of for selfish reasons. (Sorry this comment isn't really about "Doppelgangland," which I agree is a marvelous episode, a fantastic mix of great humor and important character development, though the latter's not apparent on first viewing. This just seemed like as good a place as any to put in my views on Willow's development.) All Comments | Link15 | nathan.taurusAug 22, 2010 @ 7:04pm The Good: Willow and Percy. "You want us to breed?" Double standards Willow saying that magic shouldn't be toyed with. Xander saving Percy, but thinking he is saving Willow. Buffy's reaction to seeing vamp Willow thinking it's Willow. "Oh my God, you're Willow." Vamp Willow breaking the attackers fingers. I cringed. The great library scene when Xander/Buffy/Giles realise Willow is not dead. Willow shocked by her own cleavage. Wesley and Cordelia. Wesley screams. "Men in combat, grrr." The Bad: Willow's pink flower sweater. Maybe in season one, but not now. Willow somehow knowing the words to the spell. Anya had to explain who they were praying to. Why are people still sitting at there tables when the vamps are there? Willow survives Vamp Willow choking her. Too many extras not acting anything. How could they ever explain Willow killing someone. There should have been half a dozen extras. All Comments | Link16 | SusanAug 26, 2010 @ 7:52am I laughed out loud many times during this episode which I would have been tempted to give a "P" if I were the one doing the rating. I loved the look on her face when Snyder was talking about the perfect marriage between her and Percy at the beginning of the episode and she said : "You want us to breed????????" Also, Willow uses the exact same line "...and I think I'm kind of gay" in the season 6 episode "Tabula Rasa" just before the spell is broken. All Comments | Link17 | yippers6Sep 26, 2010 @ 1:15pm willow got her hand stuck in a girl's hair and i think it was tara All Comments | Link18 | TunaJan 4, 2011 @ 9:06am Great things: "She was truly the best of us." "Way better than me." "Yes, much, much better than you." "So, in your universe, I'm like this badass vampire, huh?" *exasperated look* "Oh yeah, I'm *bad*." All Comments | Link19 | deadlegoApr 26, 2011 @ 6:44am @Mikejer Could you please explain to me why this episode isn't a 'P' considering you don't mention a single thing that you find problematic in it. From reading your review I would presume that you would score it 'P'. I love this episode and would give it a 'p'. All Comments | Link20 | MikeJer | CREATOR/ADMINApr 26, 2011 @ 11:35am @deadlego: Good point. There is an inconsistency there. In general, the earlier the review, the more inconsistent it is. Precisely because of this I am currently in the process of polishing up all my reviews from the start. This will include revisions to some reviews and a re-evaluation of the scores, which is why I have recently redone all of my Season 1 episode reviews. Expect everything to be a lot more consistent after this process is completed across the entire series. My updated comprehensive Season 1 Review is about to be released, which is where I'm currently at. As for "Doppelgangland," I will definitely re-evaluate both the episode and the score when I get to it on the 'polish pass.' All Comments | Link21 | deadlegoApr 27, 2011 @ 1:51pm Great! Thanks for taking the time to explain, I love your updated season 1 reviews. It is so refreshing for a site to have retrospective reviews which cover how the episodes relate to each other without having to leave things out for fear of spoilers. So much more insight can be taken away from an episode when one is free to make comparison to any other episode in the series, or point out foreshadowing even if it is in relation to an episode from several seasons later. All Comments | Link22 | MikeJer | CREATOR/ADMINApr 27, 2011 @ 3:41pm I couldn't agree more. This is partially why I decided make the site in the first place. While I saw plenty of reviews on the internet from people who were watching the episodes for the first time, I couldn't find very many that were doing retrospective reviews. Of all the reviews I had read, retrospective or not, I found the vast majority of them to be very wanting. Either they were way too analytical to the point of not even knowing if the reviewer liked an episode, or they were way too superficial to the point where there was no substantive analysis. Plus, at the time at least, I couldn't find anyone who looked at seasons as a whole (outside of entirely casual review sites like IGN). Hence my season reviews were born. I craved a reviewer that offered all of these things, as I felt strongly that a show like Buffy truly deserved this kind of attention. Since I couldn't find it elsewhere I had to try to do it myself. :) All Comments | Link23 | Gemma Jan 23, 2012 @ 11:08am This is one of those episodes up there with the Zeppo and Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered, Earshot and Band Candy for laughs with character development being an underlying prominent theme. Loved the scene with Buffy, Giles and Xander expressing grief over Willow being 'dead'! And then the hugs! Angel's reaction to! priceless. Another moment that i enjoyed was Cordelia's and Vamp Willow's encounter, the listening to the boyfriend stealing and then the presence of Wesley! Great! Oh and the Apple scene! Percy giving his teacher an Apple! HA! I value this season highly, looking retrospectively i'm of the opinion that this season is probably the strongest for stand alone comedy value moments and episodes all be them screened in the middle of one of the cohesive and poignant big bad's of Buffyverse! The Mayor and Faith. Truly great viewing. its a shame we didn't get to see the results of the Buffy vs Faith Slayer test and from this point on i will miss Vamp Willow. I remember her fondly! Oh and i wonder what with Angel sort of being aware that Willow is sort of going to be gay...what his thoughts were towards Oz? All Comments | Link24 | OdonFeb 10, 2012 @ 9:52am @ BtVSobsessed "However, one thing that's always bothered me is Faith and Wesley coming cheerfully into the Library joking around after some training.

Did she really absolve herself of all of her misdeeds (killing Allan Finch, accusing Buffy of the murder, etc.) simply by killing Mr. Trick?" They're not joking around - Faith has run Wes ragged in PT and Wes is trying to maintain his demeanor. And there's no proof Faith has been absolved as yet. Buffy mentions a Watcher psychologist evaluating both Slayers, so apparently the Council are still looking into the matter. A likely scenario: Wesley realises now that he doesn't have control over either Slayer, and that the only way is to work with Giles. Giles wanted the Council kept out of matters; failing that he prefers Faith not get hauled off to England in chains. So the two work out a compromise - Wes will persuade the Council that Faith is best kept in Sunnydale where her friends can be a positive influence, while an investigative/evaluation team flies out from England to investigate Finch's death. Meanwhile Giles will use his influence on the Scoobies to make them to work with Wesley. And from Wesley's point of view it's working - Buffy is repentant after her 'bad girl' phase and Faith is pretending to be to hide her role as the Mayor's spy. Things are still awkward between them however; despite her desire to reach out to Faith Buffy clearly doesn't know how to do so, and her desire to ace Faith in the physical hints at some lingering anger over Faith's actions in "Consequences". All Comments | Link25 | joaquinFeb 28, 2012 @ 2:42pm i love the last part when anya talks about returning her powers and both willows laught about that knowing what will happen in s6 is very fun All Comments | Link26 | Gemma Apr 10, 2012 @ 12:52pm I find that in this episode Faith hasn't been absolved for her killing the mayor but i think instead she has been given 'the benefit of the doubt'. Giles said that in the line of battle the Slayer is lost in a world fighting and so accidents do happen, You could even go as far to say that they have passed Faith's escape attempt as acting out of fear? She is scared and not wanting to be cornered. Her saving Buffy and then opting to come back to town with her were said to be of the good at the end of Consequences. In this episode, her not being completely trusted in battle and perhaps in herself is mentioned when Buffy asks Giles if they should get Faith and he responds by saying that he doesn't want her back on active duty this soon after events. All Comments | Link27 | MonaLIsaApr 12, 2012 @ 9:37am Did anyone else notice that in one of the first scenes were Oz and Willow is walking together Oz has a bee knit on his shirt that keep touching the neckline of flowers on Willows shirt? My mind immediately went to places foreshadowing Graduation Day II... All Comments | Link28 | Ryan O'NeilMay 13, 2012 @ 1:17pm We have established that Xander hates Angel when Angel is a GOOD guy, is willing to have Angel killed when Angel is a GOOD guy, etc etc, and yet Xander is so mind-screwed when he finds out that Willow is-or-isn't a vampire that he resorts to calling Angel "Buddy." Clearly, he is pretty messed up about what's happening and his brain isn't working. More than usual. And of course, the character development with Willow learning that she can actually be confident, assertive, and kinda gay. I had to. All Comments | Link29 | DaveMay 26, 2012 @ 1:17pm I can only imagine how many times Tony/Nick creased up laughing in that scene in the library. "something... something very strange is going on." *deadpan* "can you believe the watchers council let this guy go?" All Comments | Link30 | DaveMay 26, 2012 @ 1:22pm Ooo! Anyone notice the girl "Sandy" that Vamp Willow toys with, is the "Sandy" that takes a nibble from Riley? All Comments | Link31 | Ryan ONeilMay 27, 2012 @ 8:33am Something I put in the discussion forums without even thinking: "Good thing they tried crosses on the real Willow before crossbow bolts, right? Actually, after writing that down, that doesn't seem so funny, that was just horrifying. And Joss Whedon probably would've. AAAAAAAAA" All Comments | Link32 | EdenJul 14, 2012 @ 11:42pm I'm still, after all this year, laughing while remembering the scene where Willow tries to pose as Vamp Willow, and stroke the hair of that girl, while saying "I'm so bored--" and gets her fingers stuck at the girl's hair. All Comments | Link33 | RaeScottSep 21, 2012 @ 2:26pm I really do love this episode. The foreshadowing is great, Willow & Vamp Willow interacting with each other is hilarious. But for some reason I have a problem with the scene in the library when Buffy, Xander and Giles are expressing grieve over Willow and then Willow shows up and is alive after all. I don't know, there's something about the acting that just doesn't sit right with me. Maybe it's because as viewers, we KNOW that this is indeed the real Willow. To me, especially the lines "I'm not a vampire!" and "Say, you all didn't happen to do a bunch of drugs, did ya?" kind of felt a bit over-acted by Alyson Hannigan. Kind of as if Hannigan couldn't contain her excitement over playing this scene since she (as an actress) of course knew Willow was alive. I don't know how to explain this really. This scene just felt weird to me. Other than that I love the episode. All Comments | Link34 | ArachneaFeb 25, 2013 @ 4:46am *in reply to Odon (#24) I agree with you except for you last sentence: "despite her desire to reach out to Faith Buffy clearly doesn't know how to do so, and her desire to ace Faith in the physical hints at some lingering anger over Faith's actions in "Consequences"." I'd say she wants to surpass Faith for two reasons; she doesn't want to become Faith but most of all, she wants to be The One. She has self-confidence issues - not at the level of Willow's - and can be pretty obsessive when she's decided to do something, as seen throughout the series.Do you remember how she feared that Kendra would become Giles' favourite slayer ? And how she reacts when everyone tells her she could live her life and let Faith take over ? Or when we first meet Faith, she's thoroughly jealous because her friends find Faith very entertaining. Buffy dislikes being in charge and the chosen one. But she also craves for it, she loves the power and being the center of attention. She can't accept to be the second, she must be the best. It's a paradox, but a very understandable one. This episode was a great deal of fun and a great piece of character development. Post a Comment

This is a really great episode. It had everything working for me: comedy, action and great development for Willow. Anya is just wonderful, she was really a great addition to the show. All in all, a success.
