Buffy Review




























Favorite Episode

On these pages I'll try to include as detailed as I can episode reviews on Buffy and Angel. I hope to do one page of Buffy reviews and one of Angel reviews (I proberbly wont do any Angel ones for a while, I'll have to wait until the Watchers Guide comes out!)Just a word of warning, Spike by far is my faveourite character so most of the episodes will be ones with him in them!






Here I'll write reviews of my faveourite episodes from BTvS and Angel. I will try to update my reviews each month so keep with me!

Season 3 - "Dopplegangland"

Plot:
Willow is forced by Principal Snyder to tutor Percy west, a star athlete at Sunnydale high. Willow is fed up of her reputation of being a "reliable dog geyser person" as Buffy and Xander call her.
Anya is looking to get her powers back as she had unsucessfuly pleaded with D'Hoffryn she decided to look for help elsewhere. She turns to Willow who is quite willing to work some magicks to shake off her reputation. Anya hopes that the combined power of Willow and her own would bring back her amulet. Somehow Willow's involvment causes the spell to misfire, the result being Vamp Willow from "The Wish" is brought to this Sunnydale. Vamp Will enters the Bronze and terrorizes Percy when he askes her about how his homework is comming along. Xander steps in on Willows behalf
and Vamp Willow is amazed that he's alive, when she realises that hes human and not her Xander. Vamp Willow then mets Buffy and she says "You, I don't like you." Buffy replies "Will Im sorry, you know how my foot sometimes likes to live in my mouth." Willow then says "Leaving now."
She starts to walk off when Buffy runs up to try to stop her going. Willow then reveals vampiric nature.
Buffy and Xander go straight to Giles.
Willow gets attacked by the Mayor' vampires, who were trying to kill her because she knew how to hack into the Mayor's system. Vamp Willow fights them and turns them into her hench vamps. Anya is sitting at the bar in the Bronze as Dingoes Ate My Baby set up on the stage. Vamp Willow's hench vamps walk in followed by herself. Vamp Willow is taking over the Bronze. A stunned Oz regards Vamp Willow and sends Angel to get help from Buffy. Anya realizes Willow is from the alternate reality, the one she wants to return to. Angel tells Buffy, Xander and Giles that willow is dead and Willow walks out of the library office and says "Hi!" Angel looks confused and Xander replies "Were right there with you buddy!" Angel tells everyone that Vamp
Willow is at the Bronze looking to party. They all leave for
the Bronze, except for willow who stays behind for something.
Willow meets Vamp Willow who tries to vamp her, Vamp Will pushes Willow over the counter and then Willow shoots Vamp Will with a stun gun. The scoobies lock Vamp Willow in the book cage. Buffy and the gang plan to fight off the vamps in the Bronze. Willow is dressed in Vamp Will's leather clothes and she walks into the Bronze pretending to be Vamp Willow.
In the library Vamp Will awkens in Willows fuzzy pink outfit. Cordelia walks in to find what she thinks is Willow,who has somehow locked herself in the book cage.Cordelia decides to talk to Willow about boyfriend-stealing. When Cordelia finally un-locks the cage Vamp Willow chases her until she walks away from Wesly looking very scary (as usual) holding a cross and holy water.
Back in the Bronze one of the Vamps suggests to have a feeding frenzy. When Willow says no Anya realises that this is the human Willow. Willow screams and Buffy and Angel burst in and the big fight starts. All the vamps get dusted except for Vamp Willow who gets put back in her world by Anya, Giles, Willow and herself performing a spell. Once back in Bizaro Sunnydale, Vamp Willow gets dusted by Oz.

Comments: I think this is a brillant episode, nearly all of season 3's episodes are good but this has to be one of my faveourites. Alyson Hannigan is brillant as Vamp Willow, very funny and she makes a great vampire. This episode is very funny and very well scripted, well done to Joss. This episode has very good music including one of my faveourite songs by K' Choice.
