The show the changed the standard for TV shows and is still acclaimed to this day despite having ended 6 years ago. It blew peoples mind with its use of special effects and elaborate story interwoven into a relatable world. The hidden metaphor in the episode is that perhaps how you appear on the outside is not what you are on the inside. Even if someone becomes what he or she is dressed as they are still not that person. Underneath their exterior is someone who is completely different than their exterior. Joss Whendon created Buffy the Vampire Slayer but I do not believe he could of anticipated how much people were going to get addicted to it. Joss is also known for his work on Toy Story among other things. After her work this the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series Sarah Michelle Gellar became a household name and everyone wanted her to do more acting.
Most importantly this episode sheds more light on the other characters of the series primarily Willow who has to take the role as the lead female for a good party of the episode. Over all an entertaining and quite interesting episode that made the series seem more appealing to more than just the cult followers of the series but those who would watch the show casually. Never a dull moment to be said about this because of the time from that the episode is with only being 44 minutes Joss had to pack everything he could into it. Final rating is a 4/5 that's not saying that it is something to be overlooked if anything it should be studied and digested a little bit more than we gave it but this was the common consensus.
