No.12: “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” Episode 8

The episode I watched today is the eighth episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1. It is named I, Robot, You, Jane. I had no idea about what this episode was going to talk about just by looking at the name, before I actually started watching it. In the ancient time, a demon called Moloch was bound into a book by the Circle of Kaylees. In Sunnydale, Willow was doing a scanning project and accidentally scanned the book containing Moloch into the computer. Now Moloch was everywhere! Willow fell in love with a guy called Malcolm on the Internet. Buffy wanted Willow to know more about Malcolm before loving him, but Willow thought Buffy didn’t understand how important Malcolm meant to her. When Willow chatted with Malcolm about Buffy, Malcolm’s knowledge about Buffy freaked Willow out: he knew too much about Buffy! One day at night, Willow was abducted to CRD. Demon Moloch got a metal form and appeared before Willow. On the other hand, the Watcher and the computer teacher were trying to perform another Circle of Kaylees to lock the demon up again; however, they failed. The metal Moloch hit the electronic box and destroyed himself when he was trying to hit Buffy. So that’s the end of this episode.

One thing I found interesting in this episode was that when Buffy didn’t know what CRD was and asked the Watcher, Xander told them that CRD was a computer station but got shut down. Buffy and the Watcher both looked at him like he is some kind of freak. We can’t judge people based on our first impression about them; we need to give everyone credit that they can make some differences. Willow got into trouble because she didn’t listen to Buffy. Well, I know sometimes it’s hard to be receptive, but we need to consider other people’s word and then make decisions.
