OT - "Positive" FB for season 6 & 7 of BtVS

[Kathy Ellison <bionicslayer@xxxxxxxxx>]

As the Subject says, I'm about to say something positive about season's 6 & 7.  So please don't bother reading if you're one of the many that HATE the two seasons.

 

Ok, here goes....

 

 

 

A little more space...I'm about to say something nice....

 

 

 

Ok, here goes for real this time...

 

 

 

I've been watching Season 6 on DVD and I'm absolutely loving it (the whole of it, not some of the individual eps) this time around. I don't care for the drug mataphor aspect of Willow's descent. I do however love her rage/vengefulness at Buffy's shooting and Tara's death. I don't take it as a slap in the face against B/W.  I actually see it as the one of the consequences of "Choices". Its an acceptable outcome for the Willow character IMO and at the same time it explores the absolute feeling of rage one must be enveloped with after the brutal death of a loved one.  Why shouldn't it be willow.  I think lots of individuals would take on a vigilante role, without the flaying of course.

 

Season 7 had some holes.  That being said, it also contained some of the the BEST episodes of the entire series and for that, I applaud it.  7.5, 'Selfless" is awesome. I love learning about the beginnings of Anya. I love that she didn't run back into Xander's arms at the end. She was stripped to nothing but was eager to figure out who Anya this human this time around would be.

 

"Conversations with Dead People' is also a personal favorite.  I love the similarites within Dawn, Willow and Buffy's journey's throughout the ep.

 

"Get it done" is very exciting. I love learning of the slayer origin. I love that Willow and Spike had to face their fears, and accept the darker sides of their psyche at the time that buffy realized the darness of the slayer origin.  Plus theres time travel... fun.

 

Finally, I think that spreading the slayer power to all the emerging potentials was a good idea. I'd love to see that made into a series.  I think if Joss were not so inlove with Firefly/Serenity, we would have seen more.  When BtVS had his attention is was flawless.

Buffy:  "I kinda love you."
