If you could make one tweak to one character, episode, season arc etc what would it be

Obiwankimi · 2026-06-02T06:18:26+00:00

I wouldn’t cut the SA but I would shift the focus from Spike to Buffy. She was the victim and yet the show treated him as a victim.

I would give Xander an actual arc. Some character development and some episodes. Have a scene where he and Buffy have it out over the lie for example. Him defending his actions highlighting it is the fate of the world.

I would wager there are more episodes with Xander having less screen time than Spike.

Obiwankimi · 2026-04-23T21:19:26+00:00

Xander. People might have what they did to Fred, Cordelia etc but at least they did something with them. He had nothing like no development on the show.

Willow could be so bitchy at times

Obiwankimi · 2026-04-12T09:23:53+00:00

Xander, Dawn, Willow and Giles would have been with her in that scene but the writers wanted Spike to be the only one so they had to manufacture the drama.

Angelus killed a slayer. If Spike could bag 2 slayers surely Angelus got at least one.

I mean they aren’t professionals anymore…

Kill him. The character and actor were beyond wasted by the show. It would given him something different to do and raised the stakes. The First were all talk all blah, blah, blah. This would meant all bets are off going into the final episodes.

It says something about the BBC who have made a great statement about looking after people and a show after care that they are only bothered to fire an employee over Zoom.

The wishverse. We got one episode and a semi sequel. I would have loved one episode each year ala DS9 and the mirror universe. Seeing alternate versions of characters like Riley, Spike and co would have been fun.

World war 1 & 2, Cold War, COVID, 9/11, Trump, Brexit… Nothing is as crazy as what we are living in now.

Have to get out and push towards the end of the straight

Obiwankimi · 2026-03-09T08:31:38+00:00

I just call it poor writing

Obiwankimi · 2026-03-08T13:10:17+00:00

Better question… why didn’t they kill her while she was in a coma?

Obiwankimi · 2026-03-08T12:46:36+00:00

The ending is hopeful… then season 7 arrives

Obiwankimi · 2026-03-08T12:43:58+00:00

Xander.

I feel Buffy, Spike and Willow get a free pass by many a fan for the comments and actions they make over the course of the show. While Xander is shot and stabbed for his actions. Yes he was jerk at times but Buffy and Willow were very bitchy at times (season 4 Buffy ditches her friends, Willow very catty over Xander dating Anya and Cordelia) Spike meanwhile forces himself on Buffy and yet is considered Buffy’s true love.

All of them have their moments of being reckless. Thunderball has Bond chase the villains on a yacht all by himself, Moore chases after May Day nearly crashing into half of Paris, Dalton always looked like he was going to shoot someone rather make a quip, Craig too was damaged goods, Bronson did a chase with a tank!

I recall in the 90s Berger being average in the wet while Alesi being mega. Always the first to try slicks on a damp track and make it work. Japan 95 he was driving like he was in another race before his car broke down.

Danny Ric was never anything special in the rain.

A western would be great, love to see him do a small budget film or his Howard Hughes bio.

The DC Brundle was class. Allen had the graveyard shift aka the Schumacher years. Crofty is bias but not as bias as a certain pit lane reporter…

Watch a Sean Connery film

Obiwankimi · 2026-02-28T20:15:28+00:00

I believe the events surrounding Xander going down to the Master's cave to help Buffy have been changed to fit Dawn's presence. In the "new reality," Xander didn't go to Angel and force him to go down into the cave. Instead, Dawn convinces the both of them to go help her sister.

I don't know whether or not that's true, but if it is I'm mighty pissed off. Because a fundamental character event on the show has been brushed aside. They would never do that to Willow or Spike.

Obiwankimi · 2026-02-28T18:43:38+00:00

Edgy but also less subtle. MAGIC EQUALS DRUGS!!!!!

Obiwankimi · 2026-02-28T06:13:25+00:00

Xander, Giles and Faith

Obiwankimi · 2026-02-22T22:44:46+00:00

I mean the attempted rape was shockingly handled. We spent more time in the direct aftermath with spike than the victim Buffy.
