Remember that time Buffy was in a mental institution?! This lore opens so many doors for possibilities….

I try to forget this bc it messes with my world too much!

I think it’s true!

This is so x files coded

@Glory_Is_Ben Outer limits ahh episode

I thought it would've been cool to end the show with her in a mental hospital after the gym burned down, and leave it up to viewers whether she's being messed with or if it's all in her head. Some say the message is misogynistic, but it all depends on how the writers handle it.

I believe all of it. She’s nuts. I’m here for it tho And she’s has a very creative schizophrenic mind

So many and it's scary

UFOs created slayers would be a plotline in the reboot 😭

People don’t realize how deep this is. This analogy also relates to queer experiences within their family. How we assume our parents see us. I remember watching the episode where Joyce says “I just don’t accept that” as a kid and realizing that was my reality. And it was sad

Exactly! They put in the show for a reason

There’s actually a comic book that dives into that time! It’s called Slayer Interrupted!

Omg where do I get it!! I can’t see it

You can buy it on Amazon; it looks like. It's not still in print so it can be hard to find.

This episode is so crazy

Very x files very outer limits but I’m glad it was easy to step outside itself

I can’t recall, where was her first watcher? He should have prevented all of that.

Hated the ending of this episode bc it left it open ended as to whether she was really in an institution or not😂

BTVSverse's take on Marvel's What If? would've been a great twist in the OG movie, Pan's Labyrinth-esque, but for me, it's not for the show, that has to remain unquestionably "real".
