Quick Review:

A truly classic episode, the first of the intense BuffyAngel lurveangst plot that spawned a million web-sites. Not much else here besides that, but that's probably besides the point. A good first episode to use to initiate a friend into Buffy fanatacism, and to watch again to remind yourself how it all started...

Memorable Moments:

  • Xander making a fool of himself at the Bronze, Cordelia calling him on it but him managing to escape with a parting shot that hit the target.
  • Buffy & Angel's bandaging/flirting session after escaping the Three.
  • Angel's half-revelation that it was vampires that killed his family.
  • Buffy & Angel's first kiss turning into a growl/scream affair.
  • Xander substituting "umpire" for "vampire" in an unnecessary attempt to fake Cordelia out.
  • The Buffy & Angel confrontation/reconciliation, brought to a close with Angel's staking of Darla
  • Buffy & Angel's second kiss at the Bronze, Buffy's cross burning Angel's chest.

NOTES ON EPISODE ART: CREATED 05/2003 ~In my quest to get collages up for all 12 first season episodes, I've worked my way up to this episode, for which I already had a collage (made in sep 2001). Of course, I couldn't let it stand, nearly 2 years behind my learning curve. And so here's the new and improved version, wherein I actually try to convey a feeling for what the episode was about, as opposed to just smushing as many Buffy and Angel face shots into a small area as I can ;-)
