My First LIVE First Watch: Buffy's Love Spell Disaster | Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered (S2E16)

I threw out the playbook this week. No 20-page document, no teleprompter, no prep. For the first time ever, I'm watching an episode in real time with you, and of course it's Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered, the Valentine's Day love spell disaster. Season 2, Episode 16 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, written by Marti Noxon.

Xander gets rejected, goes full scorned warlock, and accidentally makes every woman in Sunnydale obsessed with him except the one he wanted. I have thoughts. About his "nice guy" problem, about Cordelia finally refusing to be a sheep, and about the necklace in this episode that looks suspiciously like one I've been wearing for 25 years. Coincidence? I'm genuinely not sure anymore.

Oh yes, live reactions please! There's something cathartic about hearing you yell all the first things that would've come to Cordy's mind. "I was at your birthday party, Buffy!"

I much prefer this format! A first-time reaction watch is much better, and it's raw and more natural. Please continue!

I really enjoy your live reactions! This episode was especially fun for this format, and I hope you continue in this vein.

I LOVE THIS!!!! This is what I was hoping for when you said you were doing a rewatch. I think a lot of us wanted to see your real time reactions. Keep doing it! Loved it

Yes, I think seeing you, watching the series live, is the most satisfying way. Sure, there might be less analysis, but it's really interesting to see you discover and react in real time… we're together, and it's very important to see how you experience and feel things. I loved what you did before; I learned so much… but I think I prefer this format. Maybe depending on your availability and preferences, you could do either one. In any case, I think I'd love to see you react live to the big episodes, like the next one… the really intense ones :)

This format is aces — the spontaneity, surprise, and immediacy make it all the more engaging

Really loving this format, and that you're getting to the place in the show where Cordy really starts to come into her own as a character. This is where she started becoming one of my favorites in the Buffyverse. She goes through a lot, but in my opinion she only becomes more interesting from now on.

This reaction was honestly a dream come true, I’ve watched buffy a million times and watched loads of ppl react to it, watching a core member of the cast react to it is like Xmas to me, so excited for the rest

I really enjoyed this format. I hope you continue. Youtube reactors are popular and I don't think I've ever seen a reactor who was actually one of the cast. I think you're on to something. :).
