ANDREW: Oh, hello there, gentle viewers. You caught me catching up on an old favorite. It's wonderful to get lost in a story, isn't it? Adventure and heroics and discovery—don't they just take you away? Come with me now, if you will, gentle viewers. Join me on a new voyage of the mind. A little tale I like to call Buffy, Slayer of the Vampyrs.

BUFFY SUMMERS ✦ Storyteller

Buffy: The Slayer of Vampyres

Documentary episode, I guess.

So Andrew’s making a documentary video about the Slayer, and he’s going around being obnoxious by filming everyone and everything. There’s this problem going on in the school though--with the seal on the Hellmouth lit up, it’s causing things to go haywire. A lot of the types of things that happened with the Hellmouth’s influence are happening again, except it’s all happening at once, and it’s driving the student body crazy.

Buffy and Wood decide to get Andrew and ask him about it, since he’s the first one to spill blood on it. After getting him to recount all his memories about how he got to the seal with magic, they get the knife he used to kill Jonathan and upon researching it, think they can get him to shut it again. They have to go back to the school after hours though, and by now it’s been trashed by rioting students.

While Spike and Wood hold off students mind-controlled by the seal, and he almost tries to kill Spike because REVENGE, Buffy takes Andrew to the seal and, after fighting some cultists of the First, tells him what they need is his blood to stop the seal, and that she’s planning to kill him. She holds him over the thing and talks to him about how horrible he is, about how he’s telling his life as a story to avoid responsibility, and he murdered Jonathan because he’s garbage, and he eventually owns up to how terrible he is and cries on the seal, which deactivates it. Which is what Buffy wanted all along.

The episode ends with Andrew admitting that he killed Jonathan, that he’s probably going to die, and that he deserves it.

Notes (many of which were written while I was watching, because it helps me get posts out faster)!:

-This, uh, Andrew introduction. I mean it fits with how Andrew sees himself, and he can’t pronounce words to save his life when he’s trying to sound smart, I think. But it’s a very odd change of pace for the series. I do wonder how the fans reacted when this episode first aired.

-Also the bathroom isn’t a great place to film. Not that I know from experience.

-Being filmed on the Slaying job is probably VERY distracting. 

-Are there other Hellmouths out there? I assumed it was THE Hellmouth, but Andrew refers to it as ‘a’ Hellmouth at one point, so I don’t know if there are others or if Andrew, not being an expert, is being imprecise. I wonder where they would be? The Buffy fan wiki probably has answers.

-Andrew is correct--the First’s minions are very mobile for blind people.

-Thing is, Andrew is one of the least interesting characters to me? I don’t know if he’s just overshadowed by all the other characters in the show, or if he is actually not that interesting, but I don’t much care about him. I don’t want anything bad to happen to him necessarily, but I do wonder why he’s still on the show. This episode is, I imagine, a chance for the makers to play around with the show and characters and do something completely different, and maybe with the way things are going they decided we need a breather.

If we had this one episode for Andrew earlier in the season, then I would have been more interested in this setup? It’s not a bad episode, and not a bad arc for Andrew, I just don’t find him that interesting at this point in the story.

-Oh someone turning invisible because she’s not feeling noticed! That was a thing that happened earlier in the show.

-Buffy is remarkably chill about a guy exploding in the school.

-The show really does bring up that Xander left Anya at the altar a lot, which maybe it should because it was a terrible garbage thing to do, but it does seem like we’re stuck on a character/plot point that happened a year before, and refuse to move on from it. Especially considering there’s so much else going on? I feel like this is, like Giles would say, not a problem for right now.

-Is there a way to bury the seal? Or magically bury it.

-Spike actually goes for the documentary thing Andrew’s going for? Albeit by pretending that he’s not.

-Andrew ships Xander and Anya. Who knew?

-Thin is that Xander and Anya are so out of synch with each other, and have been for a while, I kind of think this should be dropped? Anya seems to think of it as really over, just as Xander thinks of making it A Thing again. I don’t like this long running Will They/Won’t They drama right now?

-Jonathan and Andrew shared a bed in Mexico. Huh.

-He put the MURDER KNIFE with the utensils?! In the kitchen?! Yeah he washed it but that’s still gross.

-Oh hey a riot at school. Riot scenes hit a bit harder these days.

-Is this… how the First gets followers? They get possessed by the seal or whatever, and then doa  creepy ritual and sew their eyes shut?

-Like I said, I don’t dislike this episode, but I don’t like Andrew that much? And I would have appreciated something like this earlier in the season. Or maybe I’m just taking too long to watch the season that it feels like it should have come earlier and it’s on me.

I did like the episode though, and I like Andrew’s arc in it.

-You can buy t-shirts based off of this episode.

BtVS S7 (Rewatch) - Storyteller

You put your old murder weapon in with our utensils?  -Willow

Kind of funny episode; I like Andrew and his delusions… his explanatory panels are amusing, too.

Guestage Andrew does a good job in the kitchen: “Buffy and Spike have some kind of history - you can feel the heat between them”, Xander is “the man who is the heart of the slayer machine", and the Potentials are ignored.

Willow and Kennedy are making out, and what Andrew does is admire the fine work Xander did on the window sash… Later, he dubs Anya… it seems someone is in love with Xander… It’s not like Andrew is unaware of his sexuality, he’s unaware of reality; I think if he was straight, he would be as clueless.

Buffy and Wood goes to check the Seal, and he is taken by the evil energy that emanates from it; The First is doing what he does best: sowing the seeds of discord among the ranks:

BUFFY: Well, I know it’s a goat with its tongue out. Uh, Willow did a search on the symbolic database, but it turns out everybody loves a good goat’s tongue. Rock groups, covens and Greek cookbooks. She said she couldn’t narrow it down.

ROBIN WOOD: And you trust her?

BUFFY: Yes, why wouldn’t I trust her?

ROBIN WOOD: I don’t know why any of you should trust each other. You’ve all been evil at some point, right?

BUFFY: No, that’s not true. Yeah, Willow had a bad patch, but I’ve never been.

In the end, Andrew at last shows some real feelings, he leaves the bubble he lives in: his tears are sincere enough to stop the evil energy from the Seal, and in his final scene, he doesn’t even manage finishing his little documentary. Life isn’t a story.
