That reptile in the opening is Moloch from season 1 ^^

By the way, Cass, did you recognise Dan from Charmed?!

No way! The likelihood definitely exceeds 50/50.
If you can deal with a darker atmosphere and themes, and you’re a fan of Angel and Cordelia (trust that they also improve greatly and become more developed throughout), I’d say it’s more than likely that you would enjoy Angel, especially taking into account the various crossovers.
But, hey, there’s only one way to find out! 🍿

Ahhh! After an exhausting Monday, I am so thankful to see that these episodes have dropped. Exactly what I needed. I’m going to have a vape, make a snack, and kick back.
Happy watching to everyone else! ✌️

Cordy had a cell phone in 1x01. "Excuse me, I have to call everyone I have ever met right now".

You mentioned the concern over the offered drinks and as I recall (even though the whole "slipping a mickey" thing is probably as old as alcohol) it seemed to begin to be more openly talked about when I was in college in the early to mid 1990s. Around the same time as "no means no" got its traction.

At least Sunday night now gives me something to look forward to aside from dreading the Monday morning workness.

You really understand the writing of the show and the gradual character development. It makes your reactions so fun to watch! I can't wait for what's next :-)

There's actually maybe a 50/50 chance you'll like it.

Super fun reaction. I’ve always liked this episode and think it’s one of the more enjoyable monster of the week efforts. It’s really interesting to hear some of your predictions for the future of the show and to hear your logic behind them. You’re definitely already one of the best Buffy reactors out there!
Now that you’re aware that Angel has a show, I’ll be the first of the many voices saying it’s definitely worth reacting to it when it arrives. No spoilers about when it starts, the premise or the setting but if you like Buffy there’s a high chance you’ll like Angel, given the crossover in producers, writers etc.

I'm glad you also got scream vibes at the beginning haha

I think the thing in Buffy's hair was just a pen :) . Cell phones and bluetooth headsets weren't really widespread among teens at that time (I'm pretty sure there are no cell phones in Buffy until season 6 or 7). That's why the line "If the apocalypse comes, beep me." existed in season 1 :)

I believe what Buffy had on her ear is referred to as a.....yes, a pen. Prehistoric writing device. Very messy at times.
