Anyway, I liked this episode. It's sort of a cheesy, cliche idea but done well in the way Buffy does B-movie so well. The premise is that Sunnydale High is being haunted by a poltergeist, That being the ghost of a teenager who died in the 50s after killing his lover/teacher and then himself. This ghost is possessing people in the school and causing all sorts of supernatural mayhem. The gang decides to exorcise him and we gets to see more hints of Willow going witchy. She leads the team and researches whats needed. Giles is distracted by thinking, wishfully, that this is the ghost of Jenny Calendar. In fact he and Buffy both have issues with this particular ghost and misidentifying. Buffy claims to identify with the murdered woman and yet in the end is possessed herself by the male ghost who identifies with her.
Angel is drawn into the mix too to give us a final but of Buffy/Angel drama, although it feels a little forced. The best parts of the episode are the scoobies playing ghostbusters in Sunnydale High.
Hey guys Laurel here. I liked this one too, it was fun and something a little different. The poltergeist kept trying to re-enact the night of his death through other people, first a male student and his girlfriend, then a male janitor and a lady teacher. So we think that Buffy is going in to get killed by some dude, but really she ends up playing the killer (the "dude" part) which I thought was a good twist. Kind of bored by the angel part but whatevs. I feel like it may have been more interesting if it was a normal high school boy that had been flirting with her or something.
4 stakes from us for this one!
