Buffy Season Six
Warning: Spoilers Ahead
Important: Please do not post spoilers for Season Seven. I haven’t seen that one yet.
Howard and I just finished Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season Six. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Highlights:
Once More With Feeling was amazing. I think that is the best musical production I have ever seen. It was wonderful to see the writers and the cast try their abilities at something so different and see them succeed so well.
The wedding break-up made me sick to my stomach. Bad Xander.
The development of The Trio as villains was a fascinating character study. Particularly of Warren. We get to watch him move from petty and amusing through stages all the way to an evil doer of evil deeds.
Evil Willow rocked. She was scary and powerful. She had me on the edge of my seat. “Bored now.” Very evil. I’m not sure how Willow the person is going to be able to come to terms with what she became and what she did.
The Buffy and Spike relationship was also fascinating to watch. I confess that I’ve always loved the Spike character and I really felt his pain in season 5. What I emotionally wanted to have happen was that Spike’s feelings for Buffy to ennoble him, redeem him somehow. Instead the relationship with Spike only created confusion and pain for both of them. A much more realistic result considering the people involved. Then things bottomed out and now it looks like I could yet see the redemption of Spike in season 7. That’d be nice.
Anyway, those are the highlights of my thoughts on Buffy Season 6. I’m looking forward to the conclusion of the series.
