Buffy Seasons One And Two

Recommended Posts

I will say that Caleb was a pimp. Definitely needed him earlier in the season.

 

Spoiler (Highlight to Read):

FE: "...you're going to kill all of them and everyone they know."

 

Caleb: "Hallelujah."

How the fuck is season 7 LAST?

Because I found it too slow, repetitive, didn't have any stand-out episodes, and I felt the overall story-arc was too weak.

WHAT?? No stand out episodes? "Lessons," "Same Time, Same Place," "Selfless," "Conversations with Dead People," "Sleeper," "Showtime," "Get It Done," "Dirty Girls," and best of all "Chosen."

 

Those are just off the top of my head. Season 7 doesn't get that much love from me because 5, 3, and 6 I just like better.

 

Superstar, best sig I have seen in a long time. I just put that as my desktop because it's gansta.

I don't know about "Same Time Same Place" but "Conversations with Dead People" is one of my favorites of any season.

Me and bps are the only ones who seem to like season 6 a lot.

I loved Season 6, although it seems to get a lot of hate from everyone else. And I wish they would have dragged out the Evil Willow longer, although I can see how they couldn't.

Six is definitely the least liked by the majority, though it rules in my book. It was hated on throughout the whole season (except for OMWF). The hate for "Seeing Red"...yikes!

 

James' scene at the end of "Beneath You" was the best.

Word. That was just incredible.

I really think that the season 7 doubters will change their tune once the box set comes out and you can see them all in order without 3 week delays.

 

I won't even except any argument that any season flowed better than 7, something that became startlingly clear when I couldn't stop watching episode after episode after episode when I got my VCDs.

I have them on DVD, and it still ranks below 3, 5, and 6. I still love it though,

Okay, I guess this is the new de-facto Buffy thread.

 

Anyway, anyone know a better place to find episodes than Kazaa? It's been a bitch lately, and I want to see some Season 6 & 7 episodes.

My thoughts on the final season

 

Spoiler (Highlight to Read):

Season 7 I liked because of its continuity and because the last 10 episodes or so really do feel like part of a war miniseries somewhat. With the Sit's being trained, the scoobies staying in generally one place, Buffy enlisting the help of her former enemy Faith to win, the deep conversatinons between the characters (one of the best being between Anya and Andrew), The First Evil getting Caleb as a lieutenant, the armies of Turok-Han, and the abandonment and eventual destruction, really gave the the season a sense of urgency and tension that I enjoyed.

I just watched Becoming Part 2 again and how stupid is it that Spike knocked Drusilla out with a Sleeper Hold!? She's a vampire how would a sleeper hold work on her??

Why is it in Fool for Love, that in the 1880 flashback when Angelus holds Spike's throat, he sounds like he has trouble breathing? It's just whacky Joss physics.

call me stupid, but

Spoiler (Highlight to Read):

in Faith Hope and Trick, why does Giles lie about the binding spell on Acathla?

He realizes that Buffy is keeping a big secret to herself, and as the "father figure" he is slowly trying to figure it out carefully, rather than going up to her and going "What's wrong you weird-ass runaway!"

We also see their breath in some episodes. Unacceptable!

Oh damn it all...my season rankings

 

Season 3(Doppelgangland, Amends, The Wish, Faith Hope & Trick, just so many great episodes)

 

Season 2(Introduced Spike...nuff said :P Some great episodes and a great arc with Angel)

 

Season 5(Loved Glory as the villian, some good, solid episodes and a good arc)

 

Season 4(Hush, Restless, Superstar and others. Good season)

 

Season 6(Wasn't too enamored at first but watching re-runs on FX, I'm finding it better. Some good episodes too including Seeing Red and Normal Again)

 

Season 7(Ended the series, Caleb ruled, I REALLY hated the SIT's though which somewhat dampers the season for me. James fucking ruled it though)

 

Season 1(I love this season with Nightmares, Prophecy Girl, The Pack standing out for me however it was only 12 episodes long so it couldn't really get a great arc going. Wish The Master was around for the 2nd season myself)

Never mind the smoking... if vampires "have no breath", how can they speak? How do their vocal chords vibrate?

 

No, I'd fault the "I have no breath line, ratehr than all the thigns that contradict it.

I got a kick out of Joss in an EW interview last year when asked what was up with vampires having sex. He said something like "If vampires couldn't have erections, the show would have been twelve episodes long."
