what even is that velour jacket, man

also, so much with the cryptic cheek, like. I'd forgotten that Angel himself could be cheeky, ffffft, not just Angelus

i love cheeky angel

heee, yeah. it's so refreshing compared to the giant pile of broody later XD

not that. giant pile of broody isn't warranted, but still, haha

lol

things are so different here at the beginning, before canon was actually set

yesss

/chinhands

I'd forgotten how many buffyism quotes come from so early on

like Buffy, Willow, and Xander chit chatting about how to get kicked out of school, then Giles just "the world is doomed"

or Xander's "I laugh in the face of danger... and then I hide till it goes away"

/snicker

preying mantis teacher shows up, and thus begins Xander's career of being bug-slash-minion boy

omg Giles, you adorable British technophobe

"I assume this... computer invasion... of the coroner's office, isn't exactly... legal."

no Giles. the 'computer invasion' isn't legal

ffffffft, oh lord. things kids wouldn't get anymore

Buffy going to play the tape of bat sonar, and.... it plays something else instead. furious look at Giles- "IT'S ON THE WRONG SIDE!"

For all his problems now, joss sure knows how to write super quotable dialogue >>

that he does

not to say that his problems don't show themselves in even Buffy (cause ahahahahaha, they do), but. Buffy has some of the best dialogue

Buffy and Firefly both have their problems. But I still love them <3

same <3 for Buffy at least, I still need to actually watch Firefly

I definitely consider it his best work. I've kinda been wanting to do a video summary/opinion piece about it episode by episode, to talk about what I love about it and address some of the problems. Like how War Games is The Worst Episode 8TTTT

er, War Stories, not War Games

War Games is an 80s movie
