HMPC 0401 - The Freshman

« on: March 08, 2011, 03:21:32 PM »

So we have finally reached Season 4! Hard to believe, the time really has gone by very fast.

A lot of things happened to Buffy in this episode in terms of getting de-constructed so to speak and having to start over in a few areas. What do you think about the events of 'The Freshman' how does it rate for you as an episode?

I was wondering when this was going up Lol

I like the Sunday-y parts

and the Xander/Buffy stuff.
Willow&Oz and Giles&Olivia don't get nearly enough time in the spotlight.

I liked Sunday. I did like the idea of being lost in college. This was me when I was a freshman, eventually, I found my way but that first week or so was awful!

I love how Willow really found her way in college. It's nice to see a confident and popular Willow.

Poor Xander! Poor Giles! Giles and Xander should get together and do some male bonding....or not lol.

Yeah, she's a vampire, but I thought Sunday was way cute. I always smile at the Spicoli vampire, too.

As a comic-book nerd I enjoyed the Xander line "Avengers, assemble!" when he was talking to Buffy in the Bronze.

Glad to see Buffy has some Klingon blood in her. Even though Sunday mocked her when she ran away, she is familar with some aspects of Klingon tactics. From "The Way of the Warrior" on Deep Space Nine:

Worf: Kahless himself said: destroying an Empire to win a war is no victory.
Gowron: And ending a battle to save an Empire is no defeat.

The Freshman is one of my favorite episodes of the entire series. It's one of those episodes where I constantly finding myself saying "I know EXACTLY how that feels!" Xanders speech pretty much encompasses how I feel about Buffy too. I'm excited for Anya to become a more prominent character in this season
also, Bryan, I'm a Devon of the female sortl. I get the masculine pronouns a lot, though.
