Right. I never ever EVER thought that I would say this. But WHY OH WHHYYYY!? did they make Season 6 of Buffy? It's gone bollocks. And here's why... in my opinon.
It started REALLY strong: Bargaining (Eps 1 & 2) was fucking ace. Great scripting, emotional and fighty...
Then there was the musical episode, Once More With Feeling, which was watched about 100 times by little old me. Thanks to Russ 'n' Kim for taping it in the old days before I had Sky.
However, now that I've bought my Sky box, just to watch Buffy, It's gone shite.
They build up the 'Willow could be the big bad' thing, which they then kill in some stupid 'Magic/Drug' story, there's ZERO big bad guy, except for the Geek Trio who, and let's face it, are shite. Spike's getting his kit off WAY to often,
And the insipid Creature of the Week monsters are REALLY getting on my tits. 'Old Lady with Snake Coming Out Of Head'?!? FUCK OFF!
They should have left her dead. Oh well, only 60 mins of it to sit through, and then Angel's on.
And Angel is great. No. Really.
Craig.

Well, aside from the (TOO LAME) Willow as magic-addict thread, I've been liking this season. I like Spike-angst. I like Buffy-angst. The Double-Meat Palace is lame, true, but she wasn't there much. I really liked Willow with some power, but they made it too much power to be credible and then yanked it...geez. But there's still lots of suffering and lots of humor (that would be humour to you!) and I'm staying with it. Okay, the Geeks are lame too, but I think there's a point to that, in that not all the forces Buffy deals with are necessarily on the heroic scale. BTW, I detested 'Glory'...
