Series creator Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More Whedon wrote, directed and composed the music for this episode in which a mysterious force impels the Scooby Gang with Feeling burst into song. Even Buffy devotees may be hard-pressed to find an episode as off-the-wall as this, as Sunnydale denizens Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More players in production numbers in which cast members do their own vocals. Hear Tara sing about her love for Willow! See Xander and Anya perform a duet! Listen to Buffy croon about her lack of life direction! Who's behind the music? Dawn provides the key. Buffy is patrolling in a cemetery at night, but there is something wrong with her and with demons and vampires she meets: they are all singing and dancing. Buffy sings about her life after resurrecting, and the way she feels detached from it. The following morning, the Scoobies reunite at the Magic Box and find out such things have happened to them all. They further learn that it's not just happened to them; all the people in Sunnydale are Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More to sing about their inner feelings, as a group nearby performs about cleaning mustard out of a shirt "The Mustard". Willow and Tara leave the discussion to enjoy the day, and Tara sings a love song to Willow about the difference she's made in her life, which leads them to their bedroom "Under Your Spell". Somewhere else, at night a man uncontrollably tap dances on the street, until he spontaneously combust. A demon watches him and calls it entertainment. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More the morning in Xander's apartmenthe and Anya sing together about things they would otherwise have never told with Feeling or each other, namely their fears about their coming marriage "I'll Never Tell". They then complain with Giles about the constant singing, and discuss the man who caught on fire as reported on Sunnydale Pressignoring a woman trying to sing her way out of a parking ticket "The Parking Ticket". At night, to investigate the current events, Buffy visits Spike on his crypt, when he's forced to sing to her about the torturous nature of their relationship, telling her to stay away from him if she doesn't Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More a decision about them "Rest in Peace". When Dawn gets home from school, she talks with Tara, who tells her that it looks like a demon is responsible for the singing. Dawn mentions to Tara her recent argument with Willow, an argument Tara can't remember. She remembers the bramble she found in the bedroom that morning and has been wearing and begins to worry that Willow may have cast a spell on her and rushes out to check on whether this hunch with Feeling right. Dawn, now alone, goes through her stash of stolen goods, and puts on a necklace she took from the Magic Box. She starts singing about her life, but is kidnapped by Sweet's minionsinterrupting Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More song "Dawn's Lament". When Dawn wakes up in the Bronzeshe and Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More three minions engage in an interpretive dance, which is Dawn's attempt to escape "Dawn's Ballet". Suddenly, the demon Sweet arrives tap dancing and introduces himself in a song. He mentions his intention of taking her to the Underworld and make her his queen, accusing Dawn of summoning him. He also explains if the melodies go on too long, people will combust and burn up from Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More intensity of emotion. Dawn tells him that her sister is the Slayer, so he tells his minions to bring Buffy to him so he can watch her burn "What You Feel". Meanwhile in the Magic Box, Giles and Buffy train in case she is expected to fight whatever is causing the singing. Giles asks if Buffy spoke to Dawn about her misbehavior during Halloweenbut Buffy tells him she'd assumed he had sorted it. As Buffy continues her training, Giles sings, unheard by her, a song about his thoughts that his continued presence encourages Buffy to remain emotionally dependent on him, thus he decides to leave again for good "Standing". Tara arrives at the with Feeling and looks up information on the bramble, which confirms it is used in spells concerning memory alteration. Devastated, Tara sings her decision that her relationship with Willow should end. Giles' and Tara's songs merge into a duet about how much it hurts Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More leave, yet each knows they cannot possibly stay. With Feeling suddenly arrives with one of Sweet's henchmen, who reveals to them that Dawn has been kidnapped. Spike offers to back Buffy up, but she questions why he'd do that after saying he wanted her to stay away from him, so Spike skulks away, telling her he hopes she and Dawn burn. Buffy leaves alone, once again singing about her inability to feel, as both a conflicted Spike and the Scoobies express their desire to fight along with her, accompanied by Sweet, who summons them an ensemble song "Walk Through the Fire". Arriving at The Bronze, Buffy starts to sing and dance defiantly, expressing her current condition and the hardships of being the Slayer. Her friends arrive and provide back up dancing with her. Unable to stop singing, Buffy finally reveals to Sweet and her friends that, by resurrecting her, they had ripped her out of heaven. As her friends react in horror to the admission, she begins dancing wildly to the point of smoking in impending combustion. Spike suddenly arrives and holds her still, concluding the song telling her that the only Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More to mend her wounds is to carry on living "Something to Sing About". Applauding, Sweet prepares to leave with Dawn, who continues to deny that she summoned him. After he points out that she bears his talisman in a necklace, Xander confesses that he did it to cheer the mood, but did not expect the implications. This leads Sweet to decide to waive the clause of making Xander his queen. He then points out in a song that, because of all the hidden feelings he caused them to reveal to each other, none of them with Feeling claim "it ended well," daring them to say that they with Feeling really happy now "What You Feel Reprise". After Sweet leaves to " Hellsville ," the group performs together, questioning the costly victory they've achieved and what to do next "Where Do We Go From Here? Spike leaves the group in the middle of the song, but Buffy goes after him. Behind The Bronze, their previous songs merge as they sing to each other. They kiss, the curtains fall, and the chorus swells one last time "Coda". The episode soundtrack was composed by Christophe Beck and Joss With Feeling. This wiki. This wiki All wikis.

Title: Once More, with Feeling 06 Nov Sunnydale is alive with the sound of music as Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More mysterious force causes everyone in town to burst into full musical numbers, revealing their innermost secrets as they do. But some townsfolk are dancing so much that they simply burst into flames, and it becomes clear that maybe living in a musical isn't so great after all. Written by Alex. When I first saw it, I was mesmerised. I happen to like a lot of the songs Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More, especially Giles' 'Standing', which was beautiful and touching. Joss Whedon created a masterpiece in the form of with Feeling episode with his songwriting skills unexpected and its wonderful plot. Lots of shows have a musical episode, but they are VERY risky. When "Oz" did it, it was fabulous as well, but understandably it is an easy thing to mess up. This episode should be revered with Feeling remembered for what it is.

Recent queerbaiting research has focused almost exclusively on television, leaving gaps in the ways queer representation is negotiated in other media forms.

It is a work of advanced nerdism whereby freaks and geeks become aware of their capacity for self-and-world-defense. Here, nerd culture considers what new tropes, plots, and characters are necessary to resist the Powers of predation and eugenics. Buffy figures these forces as demonic Powers in the Pauline sense: the spirits of broken social institutions that attempt to destroy the nerd. Chief among these demons is Gender, the system of norms that dictates what good boys and girls must do to please the Powers. The story of the Slayer begins with a solitary female messiah doomed to destroy vampires and be destroyed in turn; it evolves into a narrative of alliance in which rejected children defend the world by moving into the queer, the uncanny, and the monstrous. Buffy’s creator, Joss Whedon, extended his exploration of the effluvial and the degenerate through his space Western, Firefly/ Serenity, in which a band of misfits uncovers a government conspiracy to hide the poisoning of a planet, Miranda.

  • Just One Kiss
    Just One Kiss Dawn Summers, sister to a Slayer, Key to God-knows-where portals, survivor of Sunnydale, hung up the phone and looked nervously around her bedroom. Well, not really bedroom - the room she was currently inhabiting in the motel that they were staying in, while Giles tried to find them a place to live. After the ‘End of Sunnydale’, as they had taken to calling it, and the deaths of some missed (Anya) and not so missed by anyone but one of the countless Slayers (Spike) people, they had all decided to stick together and continue to fight. Well, Buffy and Giles had decided to move to the new Hellmouth. Xander had shrugged. He had fought, or at least tried to fight, this long and wasn’t going to give up now. Andrew had decided to join them, figuring he could always go to college whereever they turned up – his SAT scores were so astronomically high he was looking at a free ride. Besides, he still felt he owed penance for his actions while with the Trio, and had become firm friends with Xander – once he had realized that, like Larry, he would have no chance of a romantic relationship with the one-eyed ex-carpenter. Willow, her pride in her spell that released all the potentials at an all time high, was the most eager to continue the fight. It had been another quiet conversation, when the others were all doing ‘something’ else, that had given Dawn the courage to action ‘The Plan’. She had asked him why he was still there, what reason he would have to put up with the crap he still got from his so-called-friends, who treated him like a doormat.

  • Joss's Jesus: Christ-Figures in the Whedonverses
    Joss’s Jesus: Christ-figures in the Whedonverses Joss’s Jesus: Christ-figures in the Whedonverses Melody Cook Deans’ Distinguished Essay Award recipient Abstract In the fifth season finale ofBuffy the Vampire Slayer (2001), Buffy sacrifices herself to save her sister (and the world) by leaping into a portal with her arms outstretched. In the final scenes of The Cabin in the Woods (2012), Marty refuses to die in order to save the world, instead watching as it crumbles around him. In the former, Buffy is an obvious Christ-figure, while in the latter Marty subverts the trope in his refusal to be a sacrifice. This paper explores the prevalence, meaning, and evolution of the Christ-figure trope in the works of Joss Whedon. Drawing from research in the fields of both Whedon studies and religion and popular culture, I define and set parameters for identifying Christ-figures before exploring the use of the Christ-figure in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Finally, I briefly reflect on the question, what can we learn from the conflicted religiosity of the Whedonverses?. Middle Tennessee State University 19 Scientia et Humanitas: A Journal of Student Research he field of Whedon Studies is dedicated to the academic study of the films, television series, and comic books written, directed, produced,T and/or created by Joss Whedon, including such works as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, and Marvel’s The Avengers. A significant number of books, articles, and conference papers focus on the works of Whedon. Whedon Studies scholar Rhonda Wilcox has coined the term “Whedon- verses” to describe Whedon’s variety of works.

  • Slayage, Number 6: Locklin
    Reid B. Locklin Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Domestic Church: Revisioning Family and the Common Good [1] “Does family conflict with community?” This is the question posed by Julie Hanlon Rubio in a 1997 Theological Studies article.[1] Drawing on a range of popular and academic writers, Rubio suggests that the typical answer is “yes.” She writes: Because family is viewed as a private association, social values are assumed to be an intrusion. Love and self-sacrifice are primary family values; justice and solidarity are not, because family is supposed to be primarily about relationships, and at most a place to prepare good citizens for the public sphere. The family, it is assumed, must first take care of its own, and this necessitates a certain withdrawal from the community.[2] Arguably, much popular film and television perpetuates such a division between family and community as independent, all-consuming, and largely incompatible ideals. On the one hand, we have numerous family-centered dramas that give little or no attention to obligations outside the extended household; on the other, we have the action-adventure hero, who either by chance or by choice leaves behind family to struggle for the common good. From the smoking ruins of Luke Skywalker’s homestead on Tatooine to the family bonds that alone provide transcendent value in films like Terms of Endearment and Steel Magnolias, one can discern a common thread that depicts the claims of family and of the common good as at least independent of one another if not downright contradictory. [2] Although one typical response to the question of family and community--both in scholarly and popular writings about family and depictions of it in the media--may support a necessary conflict between them, this answer has not gone unchallenged.

Given that bisexual The Hunger; Buffy the people experience poorer mental health measures when com- Vampire Slayer pared to heterosexual and gay people, positive representation could have a significant impact on bettering bisexual people’s lives. Additionally, examining historical trends of bisexual rep- resentation may help us better contextualize the current state of bisexual representation.
