Season 1 Episode 5: Never Kill a Boy on the First Date

Poor Buffy, all alone, no one to love her. Well this ep starts a small chain of episodes on Buffy and the boys. I was trying to think about which of her many boyfriends did I like the best. Like Rory Gilmore, she made some poor choices. Riley was a goof, Angel was a demon, Spike was a demon and cool. I guess Spike wins. Oh well, gotta long way to go to get to that fun.

Buffy is enamoured by Owen, a booky weird boy from High School that like to read poems about death and stare blankly into space. At the same time Buffy is wearing knee high boots with short skits while trying to be a girl instead of help Giles take care of the coming of the anointed one who will reek havoc upon the world. Basic jist is Buffy goes on date, Giles gets cornered by vampires in a funeral home, and the hilarity ensues. Owen ends up helping in a not so helpful way and then decides he like Buffy for the danger and hopes their next date will be going out at 3:00am and getting into a bar fight. I am curious how two high school students are going to get into a bar and one that is still open past 2:ooam. Hmmmm...

I vaguely remembered this episode but I enjoyed it. There are some really funny scenes, especially the one in the Bronze between Buffy, Owen, Angel, Willow, and Xander. Speaking of Xanman, he really has the hots for Buffy and almost let it be known. Poor Willow.
