b"I'm getting whiplash from how quickly this show swings from camp to seriousness.
In our first epsiode, we meet Ted, played by the late John Ritter. Ted has been dating Joyce, and poor emotional, vaguely-stable Buffy walks in on them making out. And she's having none of this.

We never really figure out what Ted's plan is- other than it involves putting heroin in his food. I don't know if that tastes good or not, but apparently it makes everyone like him. I don't knwo how much heroin you'd have to put into it before you'd get me to try fried pizza, though.

Buffy needs to get some therapy and learn to accept her parents' divorce, but her instincts are right here. Ted is a killer robot. We never know why, though- he doesn't need to eat, so I guess he needs to pay property taxes on his little hideout, and that's why he's marrying and killing women for years? Whatever.

Also, someone needs to privde a real-life example of high school students being forced to take care of a fake baby. I think this is entirely an invention of Saved By The Bell. At least this one has the boys taking care of the eggs as well.

The egg storyline was fine, but I was honestly more into the dumbass redneck vampires. I would totally watch a remake of Interview With The Vampire starring these two dumbasses, fucking everything up as they go.

Buffy manages to take down the massive glowing brain beneath the school. Not really any ramifications to this other than her getting grounded.

Honestly, this was a big step down from Kendra last week. Hoping it picks up again soon!"
