Buffy Episode From Class

I found this episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" to be particularly interesting. It did a great job grabbing my attention right off the bat and keeping it throughout the entire episode. The aspect of this episode I liked most was the fact that due to all of Buffy's flash backs, the audience never actually knows which of Buffy's worlds are real and which one is her imagination. It keeps the audience guessing and intrigued, as they try to figure out what is really going on. Whedon does a great job of making both of Buffy's worlds seem just as realistic and I know that for me personally, I was torn between what I wanted to happen and which world I wanted Buffy to choose to be in. At one time, I would want Buffy to choose the world with her friends because they are in every episode and I felt connected to them. However, I would then want her to choose the world with her parents and the doctor, as I sympathized with them and their attempts to bring Buffy back to the real world and help her so that she can go home and be normal. All in all, I thought that this was a good and interesting episode of Buffy because it immediately grabbed my attention and kept it throughout with its action-packed plot and because it made me think throughout the entire episode.

  2. Ya it didn't feel like I was waiting for 45 minutes for the episode to finally be over. The mysteriousness of it all was pretty captivating

  3. I think since i haven't seen any other episodes it was more confusing and I didn't enjoy it as much

  4. Many people have said how this episode has been confusing to them. I think so too, but I liked this episode because it was unique how you see a whole another side of Buffy. She has gone through so much and can overcome anything when she wants it.
