Join ReWatchable as we discuss Buffy 7×15, “Get it Done,” and 7×16, “Storyteller.” Superfans: Karen and Natalie Newbies: Kristen and Mitch Fun Facts: Mitch watched 2 I Know What You Did Last Summers and enjoyed seeing SMG in something non-Buffy. Karen has been watching all sorts of old movies, but particularly Sidney Poitier’s back catalog. Kristen is thoroughly charmed by a red carpet picture of Kristen Bell and David Harbour. Natalie will be in NYC for Avengers: Infinity War and Karen is now making plans to try and join her. Buffy season 7, episode 15, “Get it Done”: -Synopsis -Miranda/Chloe commits suicide and Mitch’s childhood is sobbing hysterically. -Kennedy gets a bit of a reality check when she sees what happened. -Spike’s jacket is from Principal Wood’s mother, AKA a former slayer and Principal Wood makes a comment about it that is a really nice throwback. -Kristen doesn’t think Spike has put two and two together yet, but it’s only a matter of time and enough heavy handed hints. -D’Hoffryn is hunting Anya. -Buffy makes a vicious speech to the entire group and it seemed slightly out of character, honestly. -Karen defends Buffy’s hopeless attempt to pump up the troops because she’s worn down and maybe just lost her filter in those moments. -Enter the emergency kit with an “impossible to open” lock. -So much Slayer lore talk! -Where in the world is Watcher Rupert Giles? (sung to the Where in the World is Carmen San Diego theme song) -Willow spooks Kennedy when she steals a bit of energy from her for the portal spell. -Willow makes a strange joke about being the one to bring Buffy back, and it reminds us of all the complexity of the first time she brought Buffy back. -More Slayer lore talk…especially about the origins of the first slayer. -Favorite Scenes -Favorite Lines Buffy season 7, episode 16, “Storyteller”: -Synopsis -First we get Natalie’s general thoughts about this episode -Was this episode too light-hearted about some truly dark happenings? (AKA exploding student?!) -Karen loves the Andrew-ness of this episode. -Andrew has a very active imagination and we enjoyed the dancing in the field. -We debate the integrity of Andrew. Where do his allegiances truly lie now? -We feel like the sole remaining Trio member has a greater purpose. -In the end, Andrew admits to himself and Buffy that he did some truly evil things and we aren’t sure how we feel about it. -Xander and Anya have sex. Wait, what? -Is this closure for them or just another development? -Spike vs. Principal Wood: Who should we cheer for? Will there be an ultimate confrontation? -Defending Spike: the Rewatchable story.
