Re: OT: Season Sux

Angela,

Very funny. Thank you for linking it.

Only complaint I might have is that the one specific "betrayal" they
mention is the "torpedoing" of Spike's "redemption". While a popular
attitude was that Season Six was just fine up until "Wrecked", there was
a minority who, like me, were loathing the "Spuffy love, Spike
redemption, Evil Willow" concept from Day One. (I particularly
couldn't stand October.) And from a story mechanics standpoint, the
only ep of the first six I find competent is "Life Serial" (which,
ironically, was thrown together at the last minute because the premiere
got moved up and they didn't want to push "All the Way" off of
Halloween, or the musical out of November sweeps).

Still, this doesn't kill my enjoyment of the piece. Again, thanks.

Dan

(Oh, and IMO, the answer to the redemptionista cry of "people can
change!" is in Drusilla's line from "Lie to Me": "Well, I'm not a
person, see, so that's just--")
