I was somehow able to save this reaction, but my footage came out blurry for some reason... I will probably have to go back and do the same thing I did to the Brooklyn Nine Nine video to get the rest of the conclusion and update it but I'm just glad even if the quality is crap at least there's something we can save.

There might be something I can do to fix this as well and if down the line I figure it out I'll just redo and update this.

Can't wait to jump into Season 2!!!

Good work on saving what you could. Even blurry, it's something! Watching this reaction worked just fine for me, I had no problems with playback or the image quality. I agree with everybody else that season two is a step up from the first season, but this episode has two scenes that I think really capture the terror of this situation in a way the show never manages to get again: Buffy's "I'm 16 years old. I don't want to die." and Willow's stunned reaction after finding the bodies. Those scenes really sell the YOUTH of both characters, the sudden realization of their own mortality and the complete inability to deal with it. The difference between seeing death on the news, or hearing about a friend-of-a-friend passing away, and how it changes when it's suddenly somebody you KNOW. Oftentimes the "We're young!" angle of the show doesn't come through because the actors are so much older than the characters (Sarah Michelle Gellar was 20 and Alyson Hannigan was 23 during the first season) but here they managed to really embody two scared, young KIDS. Clarifying something which was mentioned earlier in the series: Being turned into a vampire is complicated process, not just Bite-And-Done. A vampire has to bite you, then the vampire has to feed you their own blood, and then it takes until the next nightfall to arise as a vampire. So if you don't see the blood-swap, then it's not a vampire transformation process. That's not too say there can't be something else mystical going on, but this is a definite rule of the Buffyverse: No blood-swap, no vampire transformation.

Soooo she didn't drink any of The Master's blood, so that tells you right there she didn't turn into a vampire. Think about it this way: The Master has been this big shadowy figure in the background of the entire season, someone who buffy knows and is *scared* of. Giles is scared of him. Angel is scared of him. Everyone is scared of him. Not to mention now she is being told he is going to rise and kill her. And in that fear, he had power over her. So when he sucked her blood and then drowned her and she SURVIVED it(through Xander's CPR), she already faced her worst fear. He already did the worst thing that he could do to her and she came out on the other side of it. She wasn't afraid of him anymore. He no longer had power over her. She felt strong because she wasn't afraid anymore, wasn't limiting her own power through fear.
