"Halloween" | View Comments2 | ShellRothAug 2, 2010 Just noticed some interesting foreshadowing of Xander and Cordelia's relationship. He gives her his jacket to wear, which is very reminiscent of Angel giving Buffy his jacket way back in Season One (Teacher's Pet). At that time a jealous Xander ridiculed Angel for giving Buffy his jacket on a "balmy night", however here soldier guy Xander is as confident and suave as Angel. Love this episode!! "First Date" | View Comments3 | ShellRothJul 23, 2010 I really enjoy most of this episode and agree with your review but there's one thing that really bugs me. Forgive me if this has been mentioned before, but when Robin reveals to Buffy that his mother was a slayer and that she was killed by a vampire wouldn't she immediately suspect Spike? FFL is one of my favorite episodes. How could she just conveniently forget that? Hate to be nitpicky but... "Ten Things Buffy Does Best" | View Comments4 | ShellRothJul 22, 2010 I really like your idea, buffyholic, about Ryan and Mike sharing the reviews. I suppose I was assuming that, for whatever reason, Ryan was not going to be posting any more reviews. It's been almost a year since the last one. It's hard for me to believe that when that review was posted I had only watched one or two episodes of season 1 of Buffy. Little did I know the impact it would have on my life! In a very positive (though time-consuming) way. "Ten Things Buffy Does Best" | View Comments5 | ShellRothJul 22, 2010 Can I take a guess??? Please tell me you are taking over for Ryan and will be reviewing the rest of Angel. As you know, I enjoyed Ryan's reviews very much but I was bitterly disappointed that he stopped just barely into Season 4. Especially since Season 5 is my favorite season of Angel! I would LOVE to see your take on Angel. BTW, I have already shared this article. And I too feel that from now on I will always compare any TV show with Buffy and though I hope this is not the case, I fear that nothing will ever be quite at the same level. "Ten Things Buffy Does Best" | View Comments6 | ShellRothJul 20, 2010 Thank you, thank you, thank you! I read your fabulous reviews on a daily basis and some strange inner Buffysense caused me to click on "articles" today. Imagine my surprise to find this article with today's date on it! I was also very excited that your Season 7 review was up but this is a big bonus. I am relatively new to Buffy having watched all of it for the first time last fall, at my daughter's urging, and then immediately re-watching. I am currently enjoying going through all the special features and commentaries and yes, there are many episodes I love and have lost count of the number of viewings. In my almost 57 years I have never been so "obsessed" with a TV show and I have found it difficult to explain to non Buffy watching family and friends what it is that makes this show like no other. You have expressed many of my thoughts and feelings about BTVS in an intelligent and succinct manner and I'm so impressed that you did it with no spoilers! It makes me so happy that even though I took this journey so long after it went off the air, there are still so many people out there like you who "get it" and want to keep exploring the many layers of Buffy. I plan to share this article, a lot! |

Sarah- I believe that she was totally obsessed with Spike (not unlike some of us, lol), although it was an academic obsession and not necessarily a sexual attraction. When you write a thesis on any subject you basically live, eat and breathe that particular subject for years. So here she is, face-to-face with the guy she has been studying and writing about in great depth- no wonder she's flustered.
