Buffy 1.03 The Witch (SPOILERS)
P@rick
"You're the Slayer, and we're, like, the Slayerettes!"
Another very enjoyable episode. And what's there not to enjoy? With all
those scantily clad wannabe cheerleaders screaming for attention. That
teenage stretchyness is very pleasing on the eyes. But er... *ahem*..
there were of course other things of interest. Like some important
developments in relationships, some nice and unexpected twists and of
course the inherent humor of the show.
In this episode, the Slayerettes are born. Buffy accepts the help of
Willow and Xander who in turn want to help Buffy fight evil. Giles seems
to silently approve as well. They immediately start operating as a team,
and do a good job at it. Besides being a team, they are a group of
friends, with Giles as some sort of father figure. Willow and Xander
have accepted the fact that they live on a Hellmouth. After their
initial shock they stand up to face reality and what's more, to fight
reality. Sure they're scared in the face of danger. But they rather
fight it than run away or die from it. And it's a great opportunity for
them to become special, to be part of a special and exclusive group.
They weren't exactly mr and mrs Popular in Sunnydale High. Now they've
found something meaningful, as in matters of life-or-death, in which
they can play a helpful part. Cool monster fighting!
While they are a group of friends, Xander thinks it's time to move
beyond that. Sadly for him, Buffy totally doesn't see it that way. She
doesn't see anything at all. She regards Xander as, shock horror, "one
of the girls". Very deadly when the girl you're planning on dating
speaks of you that way. No bracelet can counter that. Subtle innuendoes
won't cut it for Xander, he'll need to be a lot more straightforward
than that.
And meanwhile, Willow has to hear Xander go on about his plans to
conquer Buffy and be supportive about it, while she'd really like to see
him direct that kind of attention to herself. Poor girl, that must
really hurt. Although Buffy calling Xander 'one of the girls' brought a
big smile on her face. She could follow her own advice and ask him out.
But what's the use when you know he's already mad about someone else.
Like Buffy is blind for Xander's megacrush, Xander is blind for Willow's
total adoration. Like Buffy regards Xander as one of the girls, Xander
regards Willow as his guy (not girl) friend. And all the while I'm going
"Open your eyes fool! The one you need is standing right next to you!".
I really loved the concern Giles expressed about Buffy. First when she
wanted to apply for that cult, and later more seriously when the spell
had hit her. She means a lot to him, and not only as a Slayer. And
because she means a lot to him, he'll go through fire for her, and put
up with her teenage-girl whims. Not the usual Watcher approach I think.
Not really a teacher-pupil relationship. He allows her to speak up and
she frequently does so. Giles realises that it's no use keeping her on a
very tight leash. Instead, he grants her living space as long as things
don't get out of hand. And because of this, and his extensive knowledge
of all things evil and rational mind, he earns Buffy's respect. A
relationship that works.
In this episode instead of vampires they have a witch to fight for a
change. I obediently followed he path that the writers were setting out
for me. First I thought that screwed-up Amy had to revert to witchcraft
to get into the cheerleader team and fulfil her evil mother's dream.
Then it looked like her mother was more the victim of her evil daughter,
who used her as an excuse for being obsessive about cheerleading. And it
finally turned out that mother and daughter had switched bodies. The
brownies were a nice subtle detail BTW.
Catherine was a rather powerful witch. She didn't have to waste time
with potions and spells but just used her hands to throw people around
or choke them. Impressive. This time it was Buffy's wit rather than her
strength that saved her. The combination makes her hard to beat. Which
is good, because I don't want her to get beaten.
A drunk "macho macho man" Buffy is also a very funny Buffy. Great acting
by SMG. She casually told Joyce that she is a vampire Slayer. But that's
okay. It's not like Joyce is going to believe any of that. Heh, I can
see her on Oprah now:
"Tonight I'll be talking to Joyce Summers whose daughter is a.."
"No Oprah, not a.. *the*"
"Oh, I'm sorry Joyce... whose daughter is *the* vampire Slayer"
I wonder how people are going to rationalize away what happened to the
girl that lost her mouth, and presumably later got it back. A rare and
exotic disease? They'll probably think of something.

Famous line, that. It will be a long time before we hear the term
again and it will be used by Spike then, strangely enough.

Yes! It has some of the greatest Xander lines ever written: "I
laugh in the face of danger...and then I hide until it goes away"
and the King of Cretins thingy are definately my favourites.

Well, I don't think I'd go and fight monsters just to become more
special in highschool, but hey, each his/her own.
Hehe, they're really quite blind aren't they? It's a bit weird that
we never see the scene where Xander learns that Willow has this
giant crush on him. He does seem to realise it later on, though.

I really think they made Catherine a bit to powerfull. I mean, if
you're strong enough to choke people with a look and damn 'm into
oblivion with some handwaving, you'd think she'd be able to improve
her cheerleading a bit.

That'd be fun! Perhaps something for the final episode of Buffy,
hopefully far into the future.

The poor girl will probably be accused of pulling of a prank in
class and get expelled for her troubles.

Actually, they become more special and important, but they can't tell
anyone about it. Hardly anyone knows it. So it won't make them any more
popular, on the contrary. And when you know that there are demons out to
get you, you might as well join Team Buffy and fight them.

Why do you think such a scene exists? IIRC the first time he realised
Willow had feelings for him, he had them for her as well (Homecoming).
For the rest of the time, he was completely blind to them. And then
Willow met Oz.

Kinda makes you respect those cheerleaders more huh? But yeah, she seems
to take the long road. Maybe it's difficult to work such spells on
yourself.

In that case I present you with this dialoge from "I Robot, You
Jane". You haven't seen that one, right? So maybe you'd better stop
reading if you don't want to be spoiled. I'll insert it in some
mini-spoilerspace

What went before:
Willow has found someone on the internet and seems to be in love.
Xander is none to happy about it and Buffy comments on that:
Buffy: Check out the jealous man!
Xander: What are you talking about?
Buffy: You're jealous.
Xander: Of what?
Buffy: Willow's got a thang, and Xander's left hanging.
Xander: Oh, that's meaningless drivel. I'm not interested in
Willow like that.
Buffy: Yeah, but you got used to being the Belle of the Ball.
This certanly indicates Xander has known for some time that Willow
likes him, though I must admit that in later episodes they kinda
pretend this conversation never took place.

Perhaps, but Amy doesn't seem to have had that particular problem

That doesn't neccesarily mean that Xander conciously realize that Willow
has a crush on him.
To me this is more of an indication of the very close relationship
(friends-wise) they have. They've grown up together and no matter what
other feelings any of them have, some jelousy is bound to pop up when
one finds a beau/belle.

Buffy knows how Willow feels about Xander and she doesn't seem
reluctant to talk about that with Xander as I see it.
He must have know for some time at this point.

That's okay. I vaguely remember that passage anyway. I did read the
transcripts for S1, and surfed through my DVD's.
I just watched the scene you mention. Indeed, Buffy is indirectly
referring to Willow's crush on Xander. And although Xander mentions that
he isn't interested in Willow like that, he does seem aware of how she
feels about him. But he obviously isn't aware, as he proves in other
episodes, that he hurts her by openly talking about his crush on Buffy.

Yes, as I said, the writers pretend that that whole exchange never
took place. Odd little inconsistency there. Can't really think of
an explanation. I do seem to recall that he was reminded of it
again in Prophecy Girl. Nothing to specific though.

I must say, as a non-American, i find the whole cheerleading concept pretty
bafeling. So much fuzz about who's prettier then who. Like willow says:
Willow (to Xander):You were pretending that seeing scantily clad girls in
revealing postures was a spiritual experience.

It's not really connected to this ep in particular, but i ran across an
interesting actical on the net about Xander and Buffy's relationship. It's
worth a read i think plus the reactions the story got (Contains spoilers
S4):

Seeing S1 again makes me really appreciate the bond Giles and Buffy have
with each other. Sort of like we see in Restless, he basically gives up a
normal live to train and guide her.

This ep totally had me fooled first time round. I had the see it again to
figure out who was who when.

Like you said, the writers are not being very consistent about it. Take this
line from "The Pack":
Xander (to Buffy): Do you know how long... I've waited... until you'd stop
pretending that we aren't attracted...Until Willow... stops kidding
herself... that I could settle with anyone but you?
Seems to me he knows all too well.

And yet another expression for the ages was born. Wonder which ep

declaring a winner for that quiz some time next year (re: tomorrow. Must

Hehe...indeed. Again we see that S1 definately, undoubtedly, had the
shortest skirts of all seasons. Especially for Buffy.

Indeed. Hilarity abounds here, characters are introduced, further growth
and development of characters (like, duh. It's only the 3rd, or second,
depending on your view, episode..)

Yes. That, and he gets totally incredibly frustrated by Buffy's
seemingly flippant attitude towards slaying and her ubiquitous
nonchalance and habitual ingnoring of 'orders'.

Well, at this point, father figure may be a little strong. He's a very
very annoyed father at most times, though. We can see he's concerned for
Buffy in a big way. Takes his responisibility pretty damn seriously.

Well, only with Buffy to back them up, of course. Big safety net factor
right there, IMHO. I'm guessing the whole situation is still a little
surreal to them, but the continuing weirditude certinly helps them face
the facts.

Yup. Buffy's a Superhero!
No indeed. Mister and Miss (Willow wasn't married, to my knowledge..;o)
not-very-popular-at-all fits it best. Sort of in the middle overall,
with Willow being pretty much a nerd, Xander being a, uh, skater for the
whole of 2 eps or so (did the reality shock make him drop skateboarding?
Hmmmm....) Not on the lowest end of the high school evolutionary scale,
but not far off. Things are looking up, in a strange way.

Oh indeed. Not at all what our little buddy wanted to hear, that. He'll
get over it.

Buffy's not too socially intelligent on some fronts, obviously,
since she doesn't pick up on these not-so-subtle subtleties..odd, that,
when you think about it. Or maybe not. I seem to recall the whole
Cordelia/Doyle thing, and Cordy wasn't much of a sensitivity freak, and
Buffy was at one point in the not too distant past distinctly
Cordy-like. Perhaps without quite as pronounced a mean streak.

And speaking of chumps who can't see what's staring them right in the

slap some sense into that idiot..

Indeed she should. But we find out why she doesn't a little later on in
the series (one of my favorite Willowisms. in Ep 7, Angel. Won't bother
digging it up right now..)

Umm...part one, the 'cult' had more to do with supreme annoyance at her
flaunting of his authority, not behaving as he thought in behooves a
slayer to do, whilst the second part was indeed very real concern for
his protege.
> She means a lot to him, and not only as a Slayer. And

I'm not sure he's quite at that stage yet. To me, he's just very very
annoyed at her in a number of ways. It'll blossom and grow into the love
(no, not *that* kind of love. Eww.) that he has for her in the later
seasons as time goes on. At the moment he's sort of at a loss as to how
to deal with this slayer, how to make her do what he wants her to do,
what he thinks she should be doing.

Again, not much allowing going on right now. He's being flattened by
hurricane Buffy, charming dimples and all...

IMHO, you're still getting ahead of the game just a little. He's
starting to appreciate her quirks slowly but surely, but it's going to
be a just a while longer before things are that cut and dry. See
NKABOTFD for example for more Gilesing around...

Right. That pretty much worked, though I'm not sure how unpredictable or
suprising it would've been if I'd seen this ep a whole lot later. It's
undeniably well done, but it's a bit of a classic misdirection move. A
very well executed one.

Indeed. The tipoff, in fact. Shows us that Buffy is very perceptive and
pretty damn intuitive. Not a simple little brainless blond, our slayer.
Definately not.

Very very, actually. I'm curious as to whether we'll ever see a whitch
of her equal again (perhaps on less clumsy.) Willow and Tara are
powerfull, and Tara's control is pretty good, as far as I've seen, but
we're still a ways away from Catherine levels.

Neither do I. What an odd coincidence...

Well, drunk....anyway, enthralled Buffy anyway. Amusement there is to be
had in plenty.

It's not like Joyce even really heard her that time around. It's a
little too off the wall and way too bizarre to believe. Especially if
you don't believe in vamps and your daughter's acting a bit off. Buffy
doesn't have very good control over her tounge at the best of times.

ROFL...sounds a little more like a Jerry Springer show. I see it in
front of me: My Daughter's a Demon Killer. With surprise guests like
Spike! Dru! The Master (yes, he's BACK!!) and many other former victims
come to confront our dear little Slayer. And possibly, as a big time
shocker, Faith! Wohoo!
