No.7: “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” Episode 4

I got up early this morning, so I decided to watch the episode before my first class started. It’s the fourth episode from Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1, Teacher’s Pet. I will have to say, if you are afraid of bugs or hate bugs, this episode is not something that you will want to watch. Dr. Gregory, Buffy’s biology teacher, disappeared one day after class and was found beheaded in the kitchen’s closet the next day. An attractive woman called Miss French substituted for Dr. Gregory. When Buffy was chasing after a vampire, she saw that vampire, who tried to suck Miss French’s blood, fled from her. By another change, Buffy saw Miss French turn her head around her neck 180 degrees. After some research in the library, Buffy was sure that Miss French had something to do with mantis, or maybe Miss French was a mantis! Xander was attracted by this lady and promised her that he would come to her house in the evening. It turned out that Miss French, or the mantis, just wanted to mate with him and then eat him. As how all the episodes end, Buffy and her fellows killed the mantis and saved Xander.

I don’t think I have any comments about this episode. However, because this episode involved insects, maybe we should try to understand insects’ life even more. So we can know their habits and habitats. That way, we can balance the relationship between humans and non-humans better. If we can care about our surroundings, I believe we can have a better earth to live on.
