24:48 at least once every episode for the whole show.
So glad you're enjoying this show! TBH the season finale episodes are always on another level. I've really enjoyed rewatching season 1 with you and I'm so excited for you to see the rest!

Giles falling a part over the impending hits even harder when you remember that Buffy dying is one of his big fears(1x10 Nightmares), and he was blaming himself for not doing better as her Watcher. And in that scene in the library, Buffy in a sense was kinda blaming, or at least putting down what she was viewing as his lack of usefulness when they both are facing the fact that she's going to die. OOF!

The scene where Buffy looks at photographs of her life always breaks my heart in a million pieces. I cannot even imagine what itโs like knowing your life is over, looking at photos of everything youโve lived and knowing that this is it, your story is done. And yet, she still sacrificed herself to save others. Buffyโs selflessness is remarkable!

It can be overlooked, but you might recall in the first episode, Buffy tells us that in order to be turned into a vampire, โfirst they have to suck your blood, then you have to suck their bloodโitโs like a whole big sucking thing.โ
I think a big factor for Buffy being stronger at the end is that she was no longer afraid of dyingโshe already did that.
They werenโt sure if theyโd get a second season when this was filmedโthis would have been a serviceable finale for the series if that had been the case. Of course, unlike with Firefly, we are very, very fortunate that the tale continues!

Youโre on point about her outfits! I was in 8th grade when this season came outโI had a little notebook and I sketched like every outfit she wore, to try to copy. My family couldnโt afford cool boots and leather jackets, and our school would definitely not allow such short skirts, but I sure as hell tried to manifest what I could! Itโs pretty great to look back at the series now and see just how many of Buffyโs outfits still hold up.
Sarah Michelleโs acting is so fantastic in this episodeโa taste of whatโs to come! โRead me the signs! Tell me my fortune!โ And โGiles, Iโm 16 years oldโI donโt wanna dieโ in her cracking voice lives rent free in my head.
