I really don't like this episode. The enemy, "Ms. French",was one of the worst thought up demons ever on the show. She looked horrible and what the hell was she? Huge bug things were never brought up again in the show, thank God! The story is very boring in this episode as well. And what ever happened to the eggs at the ending. They began to hatch. Where did they go? 2 out of 10

That’s one of my least favorite episodes this season. Even though the general idea is quite thrilling, I still didn’t like it that much. The pray mantis was too realistic for a demon, which made it a bit less interesting. Plus, the entire “Sex is bad” metaphor was way too obvious and I really don’t like when writers underestimate viewers intelligence.

I really didn't think it was that bad. It definately wasn't good but i thought it was quite enjoyable. It had some very funny parts such as the Xander/Buffy and Willow triangle at the Bronze. The dream sequence is also funny and one of the funniest things ever on buffy. Giles call to his friend in the UK. Ok the baddies were laughable but for humour it was funny. I give it 6 out of 10.

I believe this is the worst episode ever the demon was killed too easy and the thing with the tape when the recorder is switched on it's Giles's lecture
I mean thats something anyone would check before they are going to kill a praying mantis (which that costume looked more like a halloween suit)

people believe this episode is the worse and you are entitled to your opinions but did you all miss 'Beer Bad'. Calling it bad would be too big a compliment for 'Beer Bad'

I actually liked this episode. Not the mantis storyline as much as the vampire with the claw/blade thingy. I really liked the dark atmosphere , of the parks, and her hunting the vampire. Also the detective work which really dissolves away in later seasons for the most part. I don't think this was one of the top worst episodes. The episode "Superstar" makes me cringe just thinking about it.

I found this episode...amusing, to put it bluntly. I think it would have been better accepted (at least, by me) had it not aired after "Witch", or any other non-vampire episode, at least, not so soon in the first season. I was a bit put off by the boy at the end threatening to sue the Scoobies if they told anyone he was a virgin... *raises eyebrow* whatever.

This is one of my least favourite episodes, but it is nice to watch once in a while. Ms. French was meant to be a beatiful woman, when actually she wasn't even pretty!! Xander is great in the episode - I really like him! Though, I really hated that bug thing that Nathalie French turned into - IT LOOKS SOOOOO TERRIBLE. I think they should have shot it in a way that made it look more creepy. I actually cringe every time I watch that daydream of Buffy, that Xander has. Its really tacky and stupid.
Overall; 5/10

This is one of my least favourite episodes too. Some parts are funny but the rest is awful. I don't like the story line and the preying mantis costume looks crappy.

As mentioned, the plot and costumes were not especially strong, but I feel that the humor more than made up for those weaknesses. The scene where Dr. Gregory gave some scholastic encouragement to Buffy worked well, and I thought the principal's grief management scene was pretty funny. This episode was dumb, but it was fun.  I'm going with the Netflix rating system: 5 stars - Loved It 4 stars - Really Liked It 3 stars - Liked It 2 stars - Did Not Like It 1 star - Hated It |
