Every season of Buffy The Vampire Slayer - along with its spin-off show, Angel - is available for viewers to stream online; here's where to watch them. Buffy The Vampire Slayer, created by Joss Whedon under Mutant Enemy Productions, is a supernatural drama television series that aired from 1997-2003, for seven seasons. It stars Sarah Michelle Gellar as the titular character, Buffy Summers, a young woman who discovers she is a vampire slayer. Over the many seasons, Buffy learns to embrace her powers and her destiny, aided by her friends and family.
The show Angel, also created by Whedon under his production company - in collaboration with David Greenwalt - aired from 1999-2004, for five full seasons. This show, which is somewhat darker than its parent series, centers on the titular character Angel, played by David Boreanaz. Of course, viewers were first introduced to him in the first season of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. The spin-off show follows Angel's life after his soul is returned to him. Riddled with guilt, he works as a private detective in Los Angeles, attempting to help those who have lost their way.
In March of 2020, rumors began swirling around that Buffy The Vampire Slayer would be added to the Disney+ streaming service, since the rights to the show had, after all, been purchased by Disney. However, these rumors have not yet been confirmed by Disney. It has been confirmed, though, that there will be a reboot of the show. In July of 2018, 20th Century Fox Television began to develop it. Whedon is executive producing the new series, which is being run by Monica Owusu-Breen. There are no details yet on which company will stream the reboot, but anonymous sources told reporters in recent years that the series will be extremely diverse. If television watchers need a Buffy The Vampire Slayer or Angel fix in 2020, their best bet is to turn to either Hulu or Amazon Prime Video.
"I, Robot...You, Jane" is the eighth episode of season 1 of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The episode was written by staff writers Ashley Gable and Thomas A. Swyden, and directed by Stephen Posey. The episode originally aired on The WB on April 28, 1997.
In Cortona, Italy, in 1418, a circle of priests trap a horned demon (Moloch "the Corruptor") in a book using a magic ritual. The book is sealed in a box, with the head priest expressing the hope that the book will never be read, lest the demon be released upon the world. In the present, the book is delivered to Giles and added to a pile that Willow is scanning into a computer.
Willow tells Buffy that she has formed an online relationship with a boy named Malcolm. As Buffy tries to warn Willow about the dangers of rushing into a relationship with someone she has not seen, Fritz, a geeky student, is instructed by Moloch, via the computer he is working on, to keep watch on Buffy. Later, when Xander asks Willow if she will accompany him to the Bronze, she passes, preferring to talk to Malcolm. When Willow arrives late the next day, Buffy finds that she missed classes to talk to "Malcolm". Suspecting that Malcolm might be catfishing Willow, Buffy asks Dave for help in finding out Malcolm's real identity, but his angry response causes her to suspect that he is Malcolm. When Buffy asks Giles for help, he confesses he cannot help her much as he finds technology to be intimidating.
Willow becomes suspicious of Malcolm after she learns that he knows Buffy was kicked out of her old school, and logs off the conversation. Back at the library, Giles discovers that Moloch's book is blank. He realizes that when Willow had scanned the book, the Corruptor had been loosed into the internet.
Outside of school, Dave tells Buffy that Willow wants to talk to her in the girls' locker room. At the last minute, Dave has a change of heart and warns Buffy that she is about to be electrocuted. In the library, Giles tells Buffy and Xander that demons can be imprisoned in books; if the books are read aloud, the demons are set free. Giles also explains that Moloch is an extremely powerful and seductive demon, winning his victims over with false promises of love, glory and power. Buffy and Giles realize that there is no limit to the destruction that a demon could do through the Internet.
After they find Dave's body, an apparent suicide, Xander and Buffy go to Willow's house; but she is not there. Buffy tells Giles to ask the computer teacher Jenny Calendar for help, hoping that between his knowledge of demons and her knowledge of computers, they can re-imprison Moloch. Willow has been kidnapped by Fritz and taken to a defunct computer company where a team of technicians and programmers has built Moloch a robot body that looks like the one on the cover of the book in which he had been imprisoned.
Giles seeks help from Jenny, and is surprised that she is already aware of the demon in the Internet. They cast a binding spell via computer, but it does not go as planned. Moloch is yanked out of the internet but into his robotic body, not back into the Moloch book as Giles had expected.
The robotic incarnation of Moloch crashes through a wall of the computer laboratory and attacks Buffy, Willow and Xander. After a brief battle, Buffy tricks Moloch into punching a high voltage power line. This causes his body to explode, presumably destroying him for good.
Vox ranked it at #142 on their "Every Episode Ranked From Worst to Best" list of all 144 episodes (to mark the 20th anniversary of the show), writing, "The internet is possessed by a demon robot, and wow are we in 1997. 'I, Robot' is the first episode to really spotlight Willow, and she's such a lovely and complex character that saddling her with this piece of '90s low kitsch is a bit of a letdown. On the plus side, it also introduces us to Jenny Calendar."[2]
Noel Murray of The A.V. Club was critical of the episode, giving it a grade of D+ because it was "corny, tonally off and lacking even the illusion of depth that other slack episodes have provided in Season One". He felt that it was "frustrating in its lack of extra levels, because there are so many places that episode could've gone", and also found some "odd" things about the episode, such as the sudden appearance of other students in the library. However, he was positive towards the final scene and Ms. Calendar.[3] DVD Talk's Phillip Duncan was more positive, writing that "What could have easily been a silly plot is made all the better with an excellent set-up, the introduction of another key player, and the continued focus on characters other than Buffy."[4] A review from the BBC was also positive, writing, "Although the plot is rather tired and seems to belong to the Cyberspace-obsessed eighties, it's given a unique Buffy The Vampire Slayer spin or three to create a very satisfying episode." The review praised the focus on Willow and the way Moloch was presented.[5]
What follows is part personal introduction, part biography, and mostly an effort to give you some idea why I might be particularly suited to write a textbook about Media and Society as opposed to Aspects of Chemistry or Symphonic Wind Ensemble.
I was born on a U.S. Air Force base in Germany, so I am an American citizen but there is a question as to whether or not I can legally run for president. As an Air Force brat I have also lived in Vermont, Florida (where our school would go outside to watch the Mercury rockets take off from Cape Canaveral), New Jersey, and Japan (where our middle school was used to train kamikaze pilots in World War II). My father retired to New Mexico where I graduated from high school the same year as Homer and Marge Simpson, both of whom have successfully avoided aging in the decades since.
I have a bachelor's degree with a double major in History and Political Science, as well as a master's degree in Speech Communication from the University of New Mexico. I received my doctorate in Communication Studies from the University of Iowa, where I did my dissertation on rhetorical dimensions of the Scopes "Monkey" Trial.
Living in Japan meant living without television for several years, which turned out to be like what it was for my parents during the Depression and World War II. In terms of newspapers and radios that mean only having Stars & Stripes and Armed Forces Radio, but for those years they were clearly more important mass media than television. We did get a small black & white television to watch the Moon landing, but since it only received Japanese television programs we could not understand the only time we actually watched anything were Japanese baseball games. There was only one movie theater on base, but in a week it would screen five different movies, so we went to the movies several times a week, just like people did a generation earlier.
Spending time essentially living in a earlier time, has made it easier for me to appreciate the uniqueness of other eras when reading about them. The ability appreciate the uniqueness of other people or even other times is a useful skill that I think everyone should have. Part of the emphasis on establish a timeline for each of the mass media we study is to better appreciate what particular technological advances or mass media artifacts meant to the people and the society at that time.
