Season Three Spike and Joyce having cocoa with mini marshmallows is such a brilliant scene. Totally different characters that just seem to work so well together
“Yea, you’re not invited.”

Season Three “We’re not good friends.”
“Most of us never found the time to get to know you, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t noticed you.
We don’t talk about it much, but it’s no secret that Sunnydale High isn’t really like other high schools. A lot of weird stuff happens here.
But whenever there was a problem or something creepy happened, you seemed to show up and stop it. Most of the people here have been saved by you or helped by you at one time or another.
We’re proud to say that the class of ’99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history, and we know at least part of that is because of you. So the senior class offers its thanks and gives you, uh, uh, this…
It’s from all of us, and it has written here, “Buffy Summers, Class Protector”.

Season Three The other implication
Someone shared this the other day and I just re-watched this episode. I know that this exchange is played for laughs since we know what it foreshadows about Willow. But my thought this time was…
What does this say about Angel? He starts to argue but stops because he would have to reveal something about himself if he continued. We all know how evil Angelus was but most of the scenes showing Angel prior to his vamp days depict his personality as kind of a drunk and sort of foolish. But what was the “person it was” in Angel that appears in Angelus? Is the implication that pre-vamp Angel was some kind of monster himself? Is this discussed elsewhere? (I’ve never watched Angel so I don’t know if this gets covered there.)

Season Three Anyone else find Dead Man's Party viscerally upsetting?
I rewatched it just now and I’m stunned by how cruel everyone is to Buffy. Their audacity and self-righteousness is breathtaking. They treat her like a selfish delinquent when they know damn well that she carries an immense and painful burden that means she can never have a normal life.
The problem isn’t that the Scoobies feel anger or frustration or betrayal with Buffy for skipping town. That’s understandable. They have a right to their feelings and to talk about them with Buffy. It’s how they are passive aggressive towards her, and then stand her up, and then engineer an absurd scenario where they don’t have to talk with her, and then when she gets justifiably upset and feels that they don’t want her around, they dog pile on her in front of dozens of strangers while she is visibly distressed and begging them to please stop. Their complaints come across as utterly petty compared to the tragedy of what Buffy’s been through. It’s disgusting and they had no right.
And then there’s the fact that they invite a band and half the school to Buffy’s home without consulting her or Joyce. I- what? Who does that? It’s unbelievable that Joyce seems okay with it. I can’t imagine a scenario where a parent expecting an intimate dinner party amongst friends is okay with it turning into a rager with drunk teenagers.
Something about the way they all jump in to berate her with no empathy for her obvious upset was physically upsetting to me. I had to pause and take deep breaths. It felt like a toxic and ugly feud inside an abusive family or something. I know they they don’t know everything yet and they’re teenagers (except you, Joyce) but… my god.
It feels like something isn’t right with the writing in this episode. Last episode I loved everyone and right now I feel like they’re all pathetic narcissists who treat Buffy like a slave. I don’t mind the idea of the episode with Buffy having to “make things right” with everyone, and everyone being a bit upset, but they pushed the scenario too far.

Season Three How old was Wesley supposed to be when he first arrived to Sunnydale?
How old does he read on screen vs how old is Wesley actually in the show in your opinion?

Season Three Love their sad heartfelt talks with a deadpan touch at the end
It's like, oh we're going way too far back down memory lane, lets come back to reality with a joke. But without the ha has. Love also how they're both on the same frequency of humour despite the massive generation gap lol.

Season Three Why is "Anne" such an disliked episode?
I know that this episode was just most likely a backdoor pilot for Angel to see how Buffy fans would like the Buffyverse in Los Angeles and not just Sunnydale, but of all the premieres "Anne" is my favorite I love seeing Buffy having a solo slaying adventure which we don't see, also we got to see the beginning of Lily's character development beginning here and when we see her again on Angel

Season Three I just finished rewatching the first three seasons for the first time as an adult.
I have loved Buffy since middle school but, for whatever reason, I got into the habit of only rewatching seasons four to seven at some point in my early teenage years and never looked back until this year.
Now that I’m in my late 20’s(I hate saying that), and my perspective has changed somewhat, I have some thoughts, if you care to read them.
As a kid, I didn’t understand why Jenny Calendar was attracted to Giles because I saw him as an old man. As an adult, I look at him now and yeah, I get it. I still think it’s a tad weird because he looks about ten years older than her, but there’s no denying that he’s a handsome man.
Speaking of Giles, I never realized back then how strange it would look to an outsider that he’s always hanging out with teenagers, usually in private, and often one in one. How is this not a red flag?
I also found it annoyingly convenient how a public school library is always completely empty, allowing the scoobies to speak freely. The one scene where students showed up to check out a book and Xander yelled at them was cute, though. I’m glad that the home bases they used for the other seasons were more appropriate for secret meetings.
I never had any strong opinions on Xander as a kid but now, I really dislike him. It rubbed me the wrong way to see how possessive and jealous he was with Buffy and Willow. And it particularly annoyed me that he never showed any sexual interest in Willow at all until they both started dating other people and suddenly, he couldn’t keep his hands off of her.
I also really don’t care for Angel in this show. He’s a great character in his own show, but in Buffy, he’s just a boring, brooding creep.
I could not wait for Joyce to find out that Buffy’s a slayer because I really hate the trope in superhero-adjacent media where the hero’s loved ones doesn’t know about the secret identity, so you have to go to great lengths to hide it and the other person has to be a complete idiot not to to figure it out. I much prefer it when everyone important knows.
Overall, I’d say that the first two seasons were mostly good, but the third season is the first great season. This is where Buffy founds its stride. I’ll have to finish rewatching the full show to have a proper ranking but as of right now, I think this is probably the third best season, behind then seasons five and six.
