Finally the Me, Myself & Buffy adventure continues… #MeMyselfandBuffy follow @memyselfandbuffy on Instagram Yaële Simkovitch discusses Buffy episode by episode. #statementofpurpose Hi My name is Yaële and I’m a Buffy Maniac. I’ve been one for over 23 years and during this whole time Buffy the Vampire Slayer has been a constant source of joy but also thought. It’s made me think about the world, about television, about what it means to be human, to be a woman, to be in love, to be in pain, about ethics, about personal responsibility, about great screenwriting, and the necessity of humour and pathos. It’s also made me reflect  on who I am and who I want to become. And now I want to share some of those thoughts with you. This is Me, Myself & Buffy. #Chapters 0:00:00 – Introduction 0:02:00 – The Episode 0:05:13 – The Joy 0:09:21 – The Pain 0:13:40 – The Brain 0:15:32 – The Ridiculous 0:21:37 – The People 0:31:12 – The Symbolic 0:40:00 – The Revolution 0:48:19 – The Craft 1:04:00  – The Quotes 1:09:21 – The Thoughts 1:12:45 – The Song 1:18:37 – The End 1:19:48 – The Future #Crédits Opening Music: Distant Memory by Tomasz Chrostowski Royalty Free Music from HookSounds The Song: Ballad for Dead Friends by Dashboard Prophets:   Write to us: [email protected] @Yaelka #Post-scriptum: Here is an unedited copy of my notes…  THE DATA This Episode is the second part of the pilot It originally  aired on the same night on March 10th 1997 Written by Joss Whedon Directed by John T. Kretchmer (who directed one of my favorite episode of season 2, School Hard). Recap Previously on Btvs: Buffy, a retired vampire slayer of 16 showed up at Sunnydale High only to discover that she is not that retired. Her new watcher, conveniently hired as the school librarian, tells her the charming little California town her mom moved her to is actually a hot spot for demonic activity. In the course of trying to get a social life she stumbles into her slayer duties to rescue her new friends from vampires. In a moment of cockiness she gets attacked from behind by a big vamp who throws her inside a grave and goes after her neck as three fateful words appear on the screen: To Be Continued. In this episode: Buffy breaks free of Luke and manages to rescue Willow and Xander but Jesse is captured. The next morning Giles brings the newbies up to speed with basic vampire and Slayer lore, as they figure out what to do next. Buffy and Xander go to rescue Jesse. Giles and Willow research “The Harvest.” Despite some help from the handsome-in-an-annoying-way-stranger to find the right way to Jesse, Buffy and Xander arrive too late, he has been turned and tries to lead them into a trap. Figuring out that the fate of the world rests in them stopping this Harvest from happening that night, Buffy (despite being grounded by her mom) with the help of Willow, Xander & Giles go confront the bad guys at The Bronze where they have taken the crowd hostage so that Luke can feed on them and magically give The Master enough strength to free himself from his inter-dimensional prison. Buffy is awesome and kills Luke, Jesse gets accidentally killed by Xander’s stake and they save the world,

And so the Me, Myself & Buffy adventure begins… Enjoy!
