The Harvest

I know I'm being picky here, and the concept was probably not even thought up yet, but in Amends season 3, Angel says that he can feel the sunrise, like he has some inate ability or survival instinct so he knows when he needs to get inside. I assume that this is a trait to all vampires. So, how could Buffy fool Luke like that, shouldn't he have been able to tell if it was near sunrise or not?

I know I'm being really picky lol

Haha no no it's true, I thought the same thing..
Maybe it's because it was just so sudden he didn't have time to think..
Or it could also be that seeming as The Harvest was the second episode not all the vampire traits have been determinded yet.
 
The Harvest

The Good;
Never suspected they'd turn Jesse and was shocked when they killed him (Xander bags his first vamp, it'll take Willow and Cordelia 2 whole seasons to kill their first). The fight at the end is terrific especially Buffy's trick and 'give me the Speilberg (such a shame that there are no more commentaries on season 1, roll on Buffy Special Edition DVDs). Love Willow's trick on Cordy and we have Harmony for the first time (here unnamed). Willow hacks for the first time.
Great scenes with the hand trying to pull Buffy back into tunnels (Xander saves her for the first time?) whilst the sun going down has never seemed quite so menacing not to mention Darla skipping along to the Bronze.

The bad;
The vamps seem affected by the all too common slow moving monster syndrome. Also all the bodies disappear from the Bronze at the end whilst considering they're supposed to be lifelong friends Willow and Xander seem to forget about Jesse awfully quickly. Also considering we later establish what a formidable vamp Darla is Willow seems to overcome her awfully easily with just a jar of holy water

Best line;
Willow; I need to sit down
Buffy; You are sitting down
Willow; Oh, good

Questions and observations; the vamps look slightly different to what we later see, their skin more mottled and talons more pronounced. We later see in The Wish that whilst the Harvest would have been bad it wouldn't have been the end of the world. Is it Cordy who bumps into Jesse and forces him onto Xander's stake? I must say I'd never seen the supposed gay subtext between the Master and Luke until it was pointed out by Joss but now it seems impossible to miss
8/10 solid Buffy

Total slow motion vamp. I'm g-o-i-ng to get youooooo.....LOL
I just started watching the series over. The ending made me cry LOL! It made me remember the scene in Chosen where the same thing happens with Buffy, Giles, Xander, and Willow; that scene made me cry too. I really miss Buffy being on, it's such a great show.
