My Thoughts:

I've had this for I'm not sure how long, but never watched it, so this is a first-time viewing. Not much to say here except it was really slow and hard to get into in the begining, and alot of this movie is very predictable. Still, it ended in a heart-tugger and it was kinda fun.

As a kid I sometimes watched the original series when I happen to catch it on TV, but I never really followed it. This movie, though having good effects and good production values, is nothing remarkable. The problem with it is, that it seems solely targeted at kids, and not to the now adult fans of the original series.
The looks of Lady Penelope very much reminded me of Sarah from Chuck. Although she is played by Sophia Miles who I know from Outlander.

09. What's My Line Pt. 1 (1997-11-17)
Writer: Joss Whedon (Created By), Howard Gordon (Writer), Marti Noxon (Writer)
Director: David Solomon
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase), David Boreanaz (Angel), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Seth Green (Oz), James Marsters (Spike), Eric Saiet (Dalton), Kelly Connell (Norman Pfister), Bianca Lawson (Kendra), Saverio Guerra (Willy the Snitch), Juliet Landau (Drusilla), Armin Shimerman (Principal Snyder), Michael Rothhaar (Suitman), P. B. Hutton (Mrs. Kalish)

An episode I always liked. The introduction of Kendra and thus a second slayer (which paves the way for Faith ). Bringing Oz and Willow closer. I always felt that from this episode on, Buffy started its rise to greatness.

10. What's My Line Pt. 2 (1997-11-24)

This episode turns the table for Dru and Spike. Now she's the strong one, and he will be bound to a wheelchair for awhile.
