Look forward to a lengthy debate when i get more time. Season 7 is by far the most coherent, smartest and well built-up with its Big Bad while going back to the Slayer lineage mythology and vampire mythology Flyin' like a 1000 Doves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to try again! Season 1 is a slow start, but the show really hits its stride in Season 2. Then you have Season 5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whedon should have spent more time on her in the end. She had been on the show since season three. I do understand it, but it was just annoying. I was absolutely infuriated. It did allow that sweet and genuine moment between Spuffy. One of my favorite moments in the whole show actually. When they are in that house. So sweet. ⚯͛ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you say this when the build up and reveal of the First Evil alone in the first few episodes especially the repeated use of "From beneath you it devours" to initially throw off the viewers with a stand-alone monster made by Anya but actually referring to the First and bringing back old characters that made sense within the narrative aaaargh Flyin' like a 1000 Doves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her last good story arc was in Season 6, for sure. Aside from her solo episode in Season 7, she was given nothing else to do but be a background character with random sarcastic comments.

It was like, insert Emma Caulfield for some jokes here. Such a tragic thing to do to her character. It also didn't fit, because then it was like there were too many characters inserted for comedic relief, and it seemed contrived and unnecessary. ⚯͛ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last episode was beastly and wicked awesome though. NAH. Lemme explain why: -Anya and Giles goes to visit Beljoxa's eye. Giles asks why the First chose to strike now, an Beljoxa says that the opportunity has only just presented itself. Buffy's second resurrection somehow created an instability within the Slayer line, allowing the First to strike. But this is never explained. What ****ing imbalance? If the First's goal was to tip the scales between good and evil, and eliminate the Slayer line, the opportune time would have been when Buffy was still dead. It made no sense. -How the **** is it that normal humans and freshly activated Slayers managed to hold their own with the Turok-Hans in the Hellmouth? (If you want the actual answer, Joss Whedon himself stated in an interview that he was aware it was a massive plothole, given that Buffy fought only ONE just episodes prior and nearly died, but that he felt the message of the final episode was more important). I love Joss's writing, but that was just lazy. -Where the hell did the Seal of Danzalthar come from? The Hellmouth was opened in Season 1, and a giant demon came out of it, yet was no where to be seen in "Chosen". The Hellmouth opened again in Season 3, again with the giant demon, yet no Seal. Hellmouth was partially opened in Season 4, no Seal of Danzalthar, not to mention Buffy DOVE into the Hellmouth and fell a good 100-200 feet, yet never mentioned a giant cavern full of prehistoric vampires. -How is it that Sunnydale had abandoned Churches underground, an entire Sewer System which extended over the whole city, and the Initiative all UNDER GROUND, yet no one mentions a GIANT CAVERN? -The amulet Angel shows up with was the embodiment of the concept Deux Ex Machina.
