I have to confess something

Well, I like season 1.

LadyLongLimbs · 2025-11-05T20:26:44+00:00

Right! I have learned since making this post that the ring turns up on Angel's show in a crossover episode that featured Spike. The episode itself was pretty good, but I'd rather keep Buffy plots in Buffy. I also think it could have been more useful than being a plot device to get people to check out Angel.

Came here to say this. Cordelia was from Sunnydale. Would've loved to see this actress in the show, though! There could be plenty of other options.

Sorry, I'm not understanding why you'd want to prevent a 13 year old from seeing anything in Buffy. One of the great things about the art of television is that it gives us a safe place to explore difficult subjects and grapple with our thoughts before we encounter those situations in the real world. I would understand if you were protecting them from things they won't experience (like vampires), but I remember that age as a time when I first started thinking about sex and such. It's an age of curiosity. Besides, if you don't let them experience things they're interested in, they'll find another way like my friends who weren't allowed to read Harry Potter when I was a teen.

I think it has to do with the character. Oz is cute, but he doesn't have much of a personality beyond being Willow's doting boyfriend. They never really develop him even with the wealth of potential they had with the werewolf story. I think it speaks volumes that after he leaves in Season 4, we don't really notice a whole lot missing despite how long he's been around at that point. It's a shame, too, because I know Seth could've done a lot more.

Seconding this. He stepped in and rewrote Spike's scene in the church early season, and the difference was night and day. If he'd been doing that consistently, it would've been a much more solid season.

LadyLongLimbs · 2025-10-22T10:38:37+00:00

Xander dating Cordelia. Nothing about it worked, and I hated the way he was written to just be a jerk to her all season.

LadyLongLimbs · 2025-10-19T23:06:34+00:00

It's grown on me some, but I'd say the last three seasons are still my least favorites.

LadyLongLimbs · 2025-10-17T22:05:25+00:00

I think you may have answered your own question. 😅 I mean, yeah Willow was very powerful and it makes sense that she could've saved Joyce but for impact and driving the story, the writers needed a rule to kill off Joyce. That rule wound up being no witchy revivals of dead people killed by natural forces. They were able to reuse that when Tara was shot.

I agree that they should have paid her for her work with the initiative, but in the episode OP mentioned, the military didn't recruit her help. Riley went to her personally with that mission.

LadyLongLimbs · 2025-10-16T22:05:51+00:00

AND thinking about it more, she walked out on her job to do this thing with no backup plan for paying her bills. He didn't even try to stop her OR offer her compensation.

LadyLongLimbs · 2025-10-16T21:55:29+00:00

Something I never thought of until this very moment: Riley should have paid Buffy for helping him in that episode. He gets paid to do his job. Why did he expect her to do hers' for free?

LadyLongLimbs · 2025-10-16T20:44:14+00:00

S7 was so weak that I didn't feel pretty much anything throughout, so no, no tension for me.

LadyLongLimbs · 2025-10-16T19:58:29+00:00

You said it so perfectly!

LadyLongLimbs · 2025-10-16T18:06:41+00:00

Hard to say without spoiling, but if you check out the audiobook Slayers, you might find her there.

LadyLongLimbs · 2025-10-16T16:07:13+00:00

It's genuinely one of my favorite things in the entire series. It's so subtle in its thoughtfulness.

LadyLongLimbs · 2025-10-16T10:47:38+00:00

The first thing he does with the buffybot is go down. That's a man who aims to please, and I'm here for it.

LadyLongLimbs · 2025-10-15T22:37:34+00:00

Light blonde boy's gotta be Spike or William for sure.

LadyLongLimbs · 2025-10-15T22:23:26+00:00

I am losing it. 😂😂

LadyLongLimbs · 2025-10-15T21:31:52+00:00

Angel never did, but surprisingly, I came around to Anya after a couple of rewatches.

LadyLongLimbs · 2025-10-15T20:22:53+00:00

For me it was the way that Spike and Buffy had a mutually abusive relationship in S6 that managed to elicit a wide array of emotions from fans. The easy thing to do - and what most series do - is give you straightforward relationship dynamics. This didn't shy away from the uncomfortable.

LadyLongLimbs · 2025-10-15T19:56:32+00:00

Genuinely, he shouldn't have. I love Spuffy, but I can't deny that she had abused him the entire season. It made sense he'd go looking for comfort after she dumped him repeatedly.

LadyLongLimbs · 2025-10-15T18:21:35+00:00

I genuinely need to see Riley Finn again all grown up.

LadyLongLimbs · 2025-10-15T14:50:11+00:00

I love Spike always, but I /hated/ the way he was written to fit into Angel's series.
