Episode Discussion: 2x05 Reptile Boy

Since we aren't going to have new episodes to discuss, we're going to have weekly episode discussion threads for old episodes. New threads will, of course, appear each Tuesday.

Reptile Boy

Cordelia has decided college boys are her mission in life, while Buffy has decided her mission is her life, and it sucks. Giles is scolding her constantly, and Angel is upping the angst factor in the way that only he can. Cordelia's plans to snare a rich college boy at a frat party have hit a slight flaw: they want Buffy to tag along. Buffy decides to go with Cordy, since she wants an unundead boyfriend, and just one night of normal juvenile fun. This is fine on paper, except the frat boys kidnap girls on a yearly basis to sacrifice them to a large demonic snake who lives in the basement of their frat house. They drug Buffy and Cordy, who wake up chained to the wall by the snake demon. The rest of the Gang find this out and storm in to the rescue. Buffy decides Angel's not such a bad boyfriend after all.

(Episode summary on loan from buffyguide.com)

RtS: #137; lost to Out of Mind, Out of Sight in the play-in round.

Really not a favorite of mine. I couldn't blame Buffy for being fed up with Giles and Angel, but running off with Cordelia lacked credibility. I'm counting on the rest of you to remind me of something I liked about this episode, because it's just not coming to me right now.

Next week: 2x06, Halloween

I wasn't too impressed with this one... The plot kinda sucked.
But there were some really funny scenes in this episode, like Xan in the bra (classic! ) and plus Buffy looked really hot on that party.
Oh and I loved the song that was playing at the end!



We're like sisters... With really different hair! Gotta love Cordy.

Cordelia: Buffy! Did you lose weight? And your hair... Alright, I
respect you too much to be dishonest. The hair's a little... Well, that really isn't the point here, is it? The Zeta Kappas
have to have a certain balance at their party, and Richard explained it
all to me, but I was so busy really listening that I didn't hear much.
Anyway, the deal is they need you to go. And if you don't go, I can't.
And I'm talking about Richard Anderson, okay? As in Anderson Farms,
Anderson Aeronautics and Anderson Cosmetics.
Well, you see why I *have* to go. Buffy, these men are rich. And I am
*not* being shallow. Think of all the poor people I could help with all
my money!

Buffy: I'll go.

Cordelia: You'll go? Great! I'll drive. Oh,
Buffy, it's like we're sisters! With really different hair.



Buffy: Okay, you know what? Look, seven days a week I am busy saving
the world. Once in a great while I wanna have some fun. And that's what
I'm gonna have tonight. Fun!

Cut to later in the lounge. Buffy and Cordelia are sitting at a table.

Cordelia: This isn't about fun. This is about duty, your duty, to help
me achieve permanent prosperity. Okay? Do's and dont's: don't wear
black, silk, chiffon or spandex. These are my trademarks. And don't do
that weird thing with your hair.

Buffy: What weird thing with my...

Cordelia: Don't interrupt. Do be interested if someone should speak to
you. It may or may not happen, but do be polite. And laugh at the
appropriate intervals. Do lie to your mom about where
we're going. It's a fraternity, and there will be drinking.

Thanks for the quotes Jen. I also loved it when Cordy says sth like "We're gonna have a blast" and Buffy drops her head on the table. (did that make any sense? lol)

Wow. I haven't watched this episode in forever. I really liked it. I loved Willow finally standing up and saying something, and the look of shock on everyone's face.

Willow: Oh! Sorry. The reflection thing that you don't have. Angel, how
do you shave? South wall. That's near the
college and... the fraternity house!

Willow was awesome in this one. Especially when she yelled at Giles and Angel in the library.

Oh and later: Buffy! Snake! Basement! Now!!!
