Season 6 is my favorite season. I felt like it did an amazing job depicting depression. It helped me get through my first bout of depression when I was told I was too young to know what depression was. As someone who has had psychotic breaks and having a hard time figuring out what’s reality and what’s not I actually really loved it being depicted in the mental hospital episode. It’s easy to see it as unrealistic if you’ve never dealt with that… especially when reality is the worst option in your mind… I think these mental health struggles need to be shared and I admire BTVS for doing a concept season while still keeping overall series continuity. I love season 6 forever. I don’t think I would he alive without it to be honest.

I hated that they made Spike a rapist.

Hey Wesley might’ve only been on Buffy for a few episodes but bringing him on for Angel created the greatest character arc I’ve seen on TV. His character out grew so many.

We all experience this show so differently. To me, things don’t start getting interesting until after high school is over.

I usually agree with Vee’s opinions but on this one not so much. I am a huge Buffy fan since 97’ & a lot of his takes - though insightful - seem to be taken from an outsiders point of view & not someone who understands the nuances of the show.

A couple of counters: While there were characters who came and went with the seasons, the core group remained stable through the entire run: Buffy, Willow, Xander, and Giles, who did leave the series for most of Season Six, due the preferences of Anthony Stewart Head. The Season Four finale did have links to both the past season(s) and the season following. (On a personal note, I enjoy Season Four - none of the seasons was perfect - nothing is - but each of the seasons, even the weaker ones, had some excellent episodes, and each of them also had episodes that experimented and/or played with concepts). Tara did not spend most of Season Five in a magic-induced daze. In a season of 22 episodes, her daze lasted from the last section of Episode 19 to around end of midpoint of Episode 22. I would disagree with your argument about the lowering of stakes and disregard as well as repeated tropes in resurrecting Buffy, as the dangers are specifically noted and ignored by Willow especially, and 99% of the season deals with Buffy's reaction to being pulled back into the living world. Far from ignoring and disregarding, Season Six explores and questions the consequences and stakes. Do they do it perfectly? No, of course not. Do they pull away from the questions, though? Again, no. We've already seen an attempt to resurrect Joyce and why it was a nightmarish idea. We see that resurrecting Buffy was also a bad idea, at least all the way to the very last moments of the season, and this is why so many of the characters are portrayed "negatively". I do agree about the "Seeing Red" moment: if they wanted to show what Spike still was, there could have been other ways to do so. She says specifically that there was no pain, and no sense of anything except peace. She never says anything about having spent time with lost loved ones. The actor is Anthony Stewart Head, not Anthony Rupert Hall. Rupert is the first name of the character Giles. I am disagreement about "the Buffy you knew and the Buffy you didn't want to know": I personally found the Season Six Buffy intriguing and complicated; the Buffy of previous seasons could also have traits that made her less than perfect and sometimes a cause of impatience (for me). It contributed to her humanity in this eccentric environment, and for me Season Six was really no different in that regard. That goes for Willow and the other characters. I agree with the handling of Dawn in Season Six, and Season Seven. The moment between Anya and Spike is not planned or deliberate on the part of either character: both are frustrated, feeling deserted and unloved. It's a desperate reaching out for connection on the part of both. The Big Bad for Season Six, as Whedon suggested, is life itself. In terms of a tangible Big Bad, it's Willow, who starts her path to that title in Episode 1 of the season. Willow is not, and never had been only light hearted. From our first moment meeting her, she presents a core of insecurity, and a tendency to dislike herself. We note that she depends deeply on the very few people who are friends with her. We learn that her mother is distant and lacks empathy for her daughter. Far from being a cheat, Dark Willow is an organic outcome of the previous seasons, hinted at even in the fun and excellent "Doppelgangland". I do not say Season Six was bad. I say it was difficult, but purposefully so. I agree portions of the development of character and plot were rushed; that the impetus for Spike to leave town was not managed well, and that the character of Dawn lost focus. I do not agree that the various targets for each main character development was wrong, off-track or unreasonable, or that Season Six was a failure. For me, the only season that approaches "failure" was Seven. I do not agree that there is nothing in "Buffy" worth watching after Season Five. Therefore I disagree with your premise.

13:48 Anya sleeping with Spike had nothing to do with Xander and was in no way an attempt to hurt him. Anya herself states “that wasn’t vengeance, it was solace”. She never even knew he would find out. Xander of course made it all about him because he’s an ass.

Homie completely misunderstood literally every aspect of season 6

I agree that the potential Slayers was probably a misused plotline I really like the whole concept of Spike getting his soul back in the consequences of that for him

It's been stated multiple times that characters cannot return because you cannot tamper with the laws of nature. Giles literally said this at the beginning of the season, and even Buffy’s response to returning was that of pain because she was peacefully in heaven but has now returned to hell feeling the sorrow, which connects to Angel S2, which confirms why Buffy was feeling as such.

I have to disagree with the read of Anya vis a vis her hookup with Spike. It didn't come off like her seeking revenge, it was two brokenhearted people commiserating over their wounds and then seeking comfort and distraction physically. Plus, Anya was single at the time. Recently dumped. By Xander. She did nothing wrong here; Xander is the schmuck in this scenario (and most scenarios, if we're being honest). He left her at the altar, blew up their relationship, and then had the nerve to act like HE was the aggrieved party, throwing a viscious verbal tantrum. I will admit that Xander is my least favorite character, but I never hated him more than I did in that moment.

Spike's trademark coat cost $2,000 from a top fashion store. It was then run over repeatedly by a truck to give it that distressed look. James Marsters only read the scripts for his own scenes, as he was a fan of the show and didn't want to have the rest of the episode spoiled for him. Series creator Joss Whedon has said that the idea for Buffy came from all the horror movies he had seen featuring a helpless young blonde who would almost always be the first to die. He felt she needed a better image. Angel was originally conceived as nothing more than a weird guy who occasionally showed up to give Buffy vague advice. There were several ideas for his true identity tossed around, including that he was an actual angel who needed to complete a certain number of good deeds before being allowed back into Heaven, before his being a vampire was decided on literally while writing the episode with the reveal. Seth Green disliked being underutilized in season three, as he hated having to show up for work when he'd only have one or two lines the whole time. This is why Oz is absent midway through season four. Joss Whedon wanted to increase paranoia by making the vampires look like normal humans until it's time to feed and they transform into monsters. He wanted them to very clearly look like monsters though to ensure a certain level of fantasy on the show. It took 1 hour and 20 minutes to apply the facial prosthetic and just as long to remove it after filming. Alyson Hannigan is very good friends with singer Pink whose daughter is named Willow. After her birth, Hannigan praised her name choice on Twitter. The cast hated the library scenes, since they were full of exposition and took forever to film. They all celebrated when it blew up. Ranked #10 on Entertainment Weekly's list of the "100 Greatest Shows of All Time." Sarah Michelle Gellar's favorite episodes were The Prom (1999), Hush (1999), and The Body (2001). Sarah Michelle Gellar was unable to attend the wrap party, as she was busy filming Scooby-Doo (2002). There are just seven episodes in which no vampire appears. They are Witch (1997), The Pack (1997), I, Robot... You, Jane (1997), The Puppet Show (1997), Inca Mummy Girl (1997), Living Conditions (1999), and Fear Itself (1999). In the other ones, even when there are no vampire foes, there's always Angel, or Spike. Or both. The series is not based on the feature film Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992), but Joss Whedon's original screenplay, which had been heavily re-written to be more comedic. The Buffy comic book series adapted the screenplay, bringing the events of the movie in-line with the television show's continuity. Sarah Michelle Gellar disliked season six, because of the dark tone of the storylines. She also wasn't a fan of the extensive preparation that had to be done for Once More, with Feeling (2001). Spike's birth name William Pratt is also the birth name of iconic horror actor Boris Karloff. In Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992), Buffy says that her only life goals are to "graduate, go to Europe, marry Christian Slater, and die." Although Joss Whedon has repeatedly stressed that the movie should not be considered "canon" for the television show, by the end of it, Buffy actually accomplishes three of these goals, graduate, go to Europe, and die, although, not in that order. Buffy's full name is "Buffy Anne Summers". This was explained in Anne (1998), where Buffy said Anne is her middle name. Before he was turned into a vampire, Spike's name was William. Angel's real name was Liam.

Principal Wood felt look like the Whedonverse version of Blade. So much so that the cover of Nikki Wood comic was a throwback to Blade's first appearance in Tomb of Dracula. He Strong and skilled enough to battle demons and vamps with out any empowerment. The only son of a slayer that we know of, i theorized that he inherited some strength from his mother. (Plus he was trained by her Watcher) But yea, he was a late eddition to the show....but then it was nice to see another character of color on a predominately white show (not that it matters that much, but a little authentic and sincere diversity is welcomed.....)

Vampire Henchman Number 4 was always a character i wanted to see brought back!!!

I kinda liked not so much season 4 as a whole but Spike explaining Yoko Ono and the Beatles to Adam. It's a memorable telling for me personally.

Everyone has their own answers as from best to least favorite, but I have never seen anyone say the show died.... until now. Most of the things the video has problems with have answers and if not answers head canon. That's what makes the show a true masterpiece. It has reasons to survive and has only grown stronger over the years.

That train wreck of a season 7 is purportedly better than season 6? 😂 Thanks, I needed a good laugh today.

No, Angel was a good series. Buffy was a GREAT series. You started off with a misstep. Dying? S1/E12 was the first time. S5/E22 the second time. After that, still alive, although there was one brief drowning. Season 4 was a mess, but it was NOT a retelling of Frankenstein's Monster. You are missing the issue that happened with the "big bad" villain bowing out, requiring major rewrites. Season 5 ended as it did because it closed a major arc. I have the tee shirt! But the final two seasons were still very good. We got a Musical! And it provided a great episode. Also, Joyce did come back, briefly, before Dawn tore up the picture. Spike did come back in "Angel". Angel came back in Buffy S3. You strike me as a casual viewer.

I never knew willow and Wesley were married in real life Love how Their initials connected Willow-welsey Allison-Alexis

Honestly I think season 6 is one of the better seasons; and the whole season is largely about why both bringing people back from death AND using the powerful magics involved is NOT a good idea. I do think “Seeing Red” handled a lot wrong; and while we needed to get both Spike and Willow where they ended up at the episode end; the writers didn’t understand the gravity of what they were playing with. That episode needed work.

The Trio were good, they were human monsters. Also the episode with Riley returning helped to get Buffy back on track, the Scooby Gang weren't kids anymore, the Hellmouth is corrupting for adults. You have to learn to live with failure and bad choices

I honestly really love season 6 because of the whole Dark!Willow plot

I'm sure someone has mentioned this, but just in case, Rupert Giles was played by Anthony Stewart Head, often known as Tony Head, and not 'Anthony Rupert Hall' as stated in the video.

I absolutely loved vampire Willow in "The Wish"!

It's really hard to say a show "died" when they, then follow it up with one of the best seaons of the show.

As someone who had some struggles in his twenties I actually found season 6 quite relatable and liked it. Why I would've liked if Xander and Anya stayed together I don't think it was out of the realm of possibility. They clearly shoed how much he feared being like his father. Season seven was my least favorite. Honestly the potentials get almost no development so we hardly can care about them. The actor Anthony Head actually asked if he could be the villian this season and he was allowed to be killed and shown as one of the versions of the first I think that would've seriously messed with the scoobies's head.

Watching the team of potential slayers and the original gang kick Buffy out reminded me of when they did it in The Arrow. It felt so out of place, it didn't feel justified and it was frustrating to see an opinion I disagreed with being supported by the majority of the characters. I didn't like those scenes in both shows, but then again, I never liked the newer Arrow team members, so I might have been a bit biased there.

Buffy is still my fav show of all time

Man... I think I blocked out the later seasons from my mind.... Yeah, Season 5 SHOULD have been the end. In short.... Buffy should have stayed dead. It's sad too. I remember really liking the show before Season 6. And... perhaps regrettably, it had a lot of influence on me. And my few attempts to write anything....

Season 6 was more about the real world, and the horrible mundane things we have to do every day are scarier and more damaging than what they had to face in high school or fantasy creatures they came up against before

I agree. The show felt weird in season 6. I had a hard time watching after season 4.

My sister asked me to tape the second to last episode for her. Usually I would just go and do it,when she was on the phone. This one time though I was in the middle of something and then ended up forgetting. How many years later,I'm still hearing about it.

Heartily disagree. Season 6 was one of the best. It is definitely a tonal shift from earlier seasons, but that is intentional and indeed expected. The earlier seasons were metaphors for trials and problems faced by teenagers still in the process of growing up, but season 6 was all about the problems of trying to be an adult. There were deep issues that were well addressed and amazingly well acted. Buffy's funk that lasted through much of the beginning of the season is one of the best on-screen depictions of clinical depression I have ever seen, and even as she comes out of it many of her challenges were just trying to deal with the mundane realities of adult life. It is so well done. I get it that it is your opinion, but it seems you completely missed the point. Season 6 is where the show grew up.

Season 3 was my favorite and was when i felt it was at it's peak. I struggled through season 4 and 5 and was completely offput by season 6 it was middlingly better for 7 but like you stated i think it should have ended with season 5.....so please do give us your take on it's finale.

It's strange that this review is saying that season 5 was intended as a series finale, when so many people from the show have said that every single season was viewed as the last season, as they were never sure if they'd get another one. And that continued right up until after Angel, season 5, when they got... oh... yeah... right... sorry.

So, after listening to this I remember some of the last few seasons and....what I don't understand is why they didn't bring in the Principle/Son of the Slayer character to be a main part of Season 6. That story would have had soooo much more symbolic meaning following the death and resurrection of Buffy and the departure of Giles...it would have made soo much sense for that Character to play a pivitol role, especially given Spike's behavior in 6 compared to 7. What a missed oppurtunity.

In the final seasons there are lots of amazing memorable scenes in otherwise dodgy forgettable episodes. There are too many episodes set mostly in Buffy's house, including one where they cannot leave the house. It gets rather repetitive, especially for binge watching.

I wished they had given Spike and Buffy a chance to be together outside of sex but that bathroom scene really made me realize that the writers were done trying to make it a thing. It felt out of character even with him being evil. Him trying to kill her and her friends, yeah I can see that but the assault??? They should have done something else if they wanted to destroy relationship potential and remind us that he's evil.

Some fans feel that the series should have ended with Buffy's death in season 5.

You can't make the claim that Buffy "died." At its heart, as Joss Whedon stated, was a coming of age story and meant to reflect the issues we face with aging and various growing pains. I didn't much care for seasons 4 or 5, but I thought BVS made a return to form with season 6 as stakes were raised as each member was dealing with maturity and the pitfalls that come along with it. Season 7 was like the now mature BVS team imparting their knowledge on a new generation of slayers so they don't make the same mistakes they did. No, Buffy never died, and despite all of the backstage turmoil, I hold out that we get to see a reunion season/movie to see where the characters wound up, like I thought it would be cool if Xander would assist Giles and reforming The Watchers Council as Buffy and Dawn run an academy training the newly empowered slayers with Willow as the "headmaster" or maybe principal of a new Sunnydale High.

"Party in my eye socket!" - Zander's last line i think.

while I can get behind many of these points, S6 never had a "big bad". Not even Spike going to his absolute worst for a single episode. Not Dark Willow. Not even Warren. S6 is about dealing with death, loss, the pains of growing up. The gang was not ready to live without Buffy. Spike was not ready to be full on good. The Trio were nerds who were unable to let the highschool days pass and their cosplaying turned out super wrong because they were lead by the pervert mess called Warren. Willow basically became cool through "drug" abuse from S4 and let magic consume her because it was a way to leave her nerdy side. She falls down and then goes on a complete rampage without a beloved person to help and contain her. Which turns out to be Xander in the end after Giles let her basically absorb a counterspell to her own powers

Personally i feel that it ended after Spike and Buffy relationship ended. But if anyone who hasn't read the Dark Horse cannon, its awesome. They picked off where season 7 left off. Plus Spike and Buffy are a couple!

Season 6 is my favorite! I love the dark direction, Dark Willow is my favorite big bad, and the trio are both fun and frightening. My only issue was the Buffy/Spike relationship which I never liked or bought.

9:25 - I just recently watched TheLexiCrowd's reaction to Buffy's series finale, which she released yesterday, so it is neat to see her referenced here.

Glory as a villain it's mixed baggage

I am of a different opinion about season six, it is one of my personal favorites. For me it is a representation of when you hit rock bottom, or grave, there is only pull yourself up and just try. It's ok not to be ok and then it is great to be ok. Also You can't train a person to be better, they have to choose it. I love season six.

I can't think of any significant episodes of season 7, aside from the last one. Which to be fair, is a cathartic episode to end on.

I love season 6 idk

Would love more buffy/Angel videos Vee!

I love love love this series, and world, even despite more recent revelations about the creator…. Great video V!

Got a lot to unpick from this vid, but one I haven't seen others mention is about the Initiative. I think its mentioned that it kind of comes out of nowhere and I would disagree. Back on S2 its shown that there's a conspiracy element in how the authorities approach the supernatural when Snyder and a detective agree to cover up magical events surrounding the Sadie Hawkins dance with the "usual story, drugs" and actual acknowledgement of a hellmouth. This is expanded obviously with the mayor so if stands to reason that if local authorities know about it, the larger government sure do and will try to weponise it. Although it is perhaps a bit heavyhanded when it does appear.

I agree with Spike. That's a deal-breaker for me. That's not entertainment.

I never got past season 4 but I'm currently searching for the dvds. Favorite episode is Becoming 1 and 2.

Awesome video - and FYI Giles is played by Anthony Stewart Head, sorry to be that guy!! Seriously amazing video and an easy fix🙏🏻✌🏻🧛🏻

[ Totally agree that Buffy should stay dead ] Dawn should have pick up the mentor of being the slayer ( that might keep the show on the air a bit longer ) as for Willow going to the darkside [ Honestly ] that angle should've been a lot better than her lover died ( the way how she died they might well say that she been shot by Castor Troy from Face/Off. )

season 6 is actually great, same with season 7. Who cares what the majority thinks, season 6 was wonderfully dark and different and the first evil and season 7's finale was badass.

the best opening music ever...I always felt after buffy sacrificed herself for dawn and glory being well..gone she should have turned back into the energy she was and then no more daswn as a character..because she was no longer in danger she could be her real self...I mean what will happen when she dies she is just energy made flesh

Vee:*finally uploads a Buffy vid* *Immediately clicks on it*

You've ever gonna do an episode on Angel

Can you cover the new audio book that just came out that brings back the cast

I don’t think anything was worse than Season 4. Season 6 with Willow’s arc was an incredible 4 season payoff.

There's a great interview with James Marsters on The Friendship Onion podcast. That was a great show, I miss Merry and Pippen lol

I really like Season 6 but went into this video with an open mind. Some bits of it do suck, Giles leaving, the two relationships ending, Spike's "moment" and Buffy's character did suffer. But I liked Dark Willow and (unpopular opinion) I liked the 3 nerds. They felt like the perfect villains to show Buffy was not running at 100% any more. Willow's turn was a genuine "Oh shit" moment and the drug parallels felt earned. My opinion is Season 7 was the worst as they seemed to lose all the soul of the previous 6. It was nowhere near as funny, the characters have nothing interesting to say beyond "The First is Coming" or "From Beneath You It Devours". And then there were all the new annoying Potentials too. No, 6 was far better than 7 in my opinion.

Buffy Should’ve Stayed Dead I don’t think the show died after season 5 but you do bring up good points so I’m interested in your view on the finale (which was the weakest point for me).

Lots of valid points in this video, though I don't 100% agree with everything. I like listening to different points of view. I do agree that the first 3 seasons were the prime years of the show, but I also love seasons 4 and 6, for different reasons. This show has something for everyone, and everything for someone. And for me at least, Angel will always be part of Buffy, I can't watch Buffy seasons 4-7 without also watching Angel, as I did when they first came out on TV. It's all part of the same experience for me.

Season 6 is not the worst season and virtually no one thinks it is -- Season 7 exists, so it can't possibly be. Season 6 has good plots and good episodes, but yes, Season 5 would have been a better ending.

Gosh dang it! I'm still in season three, I want to watch this but I'm afraid of spoilers 😅

Season 6 is my favorite season and imo the BEST!!! All of them changed drastically this season. I loved all of it. It’s my go to season. Tabula Rasa ❤

‘Anthony Rupert Hall’ is a genius joke 🤌🏻🤌🏻

Seriously? Imo Buffy never died. It has fans to this day and students still write essays about it. Season 4 had a superb selection of top notch stories in it. Man, did you even watch this show properly? lol

The entire series is definitely “must watch tv”. But it also definitely had its “issues”. For me, the show was not able to maintain the perfection that it achieved with S3. Which is an impossible thing to ask! Seasons 4-7 had their moments; more good than bad. And a few of those episodes were some its greatest. But none of those “entire” seasons come close to what was reached with S3. fwiw: I would think one’s opinion of the show is heavily influenced by when/how they watched it. To have watched it when they originally aired (along with “Angel”) brought a much different experience than what someone who could “binge watch” the entire series would create. I’ve rewatched the entire series (of each) multiple times since they first aired. And each time it feels “off” to how I “remember” it. It just isn’t the same show. So in a way, it’s not entirely fair to judge each season based off of today’s watching preferences without discussing that aspect.

That question was always my issue with resurrection in Buffy and Angel. Why does Buffy always get to come back but everyone else has to stay dead? Doesn't seem fair but it would be even more boring if everyone else could do it too.

I normally like your videos, but it's a little difficult to take this one seriously when you mess up the actors' names. 😂 I liked most of season 6. Season 4 was the worst overall IMO.

Oh lord, pleeeeeease do Angel. Do you do comics? ... ... 😁😁

Vee, it's time to come back. Time to drop the goody two shoes act. Time for the Social Injustice Warrior, to rise again.

Agree it could have ended with Season 5, but Season 6 I think is misunderstood, the bad guy is Life itself, remember, Buffy was dead and brought back to Life without Her permission.....

I honestly missed so much of season 6,

While the general sentiment is correct, I dont agree with every point. Perhaps they could have taken longer to revive buffy, but the weight of death was felt throughout the season. Season 6 was so dark its the only that ive ever watched once, all the others at least 2-3x.

I actually quite enjoyed season 4. Does it seem a bit messy at times? Yes. However, I feel like that's how life feels once you've graduated high school and you enter college. You're more on your own, trying to sort out your life, and things change. People change. We see this in the way the friend group has a major falling out over the stupidest stuff. And you can argue Spike played a hand, but they were all having issues long before he interfered. We literally see Willow and Oz break up, and then Willow ends up with Tara. Giles doesn't know where he quite fits in the group no longer being a Watcher, but still being their mentor of sorts. However, he doesn't feel as needed. Xander is trying to figure out his life because he doesn't go to college. I think season 4 sums up how awkward it is once you've reached the age people consider to be adulthood. Also, I'm pretty certain season 5 wasn't intended to be the finale. The WB cancelled the show, so they killed Buffy off, only for it to be picked up by UPN. When I first watched the show, season 6 was actually my favorite of the series. It was dark and we had some fantastic episodes along with Evil Willow. While I think season 7 had some decent stand alone episodes, I personally consider it the worst season of the series with the exception of the finale. That's also how I felt about Charmed season 8. The final season is terrible, but the finale is good. I honestly can't name many shows that have a really good final season. During rewatches, I think I like season 2 a lot more because it's quite dark, as well. And as much as I love Angelus, I don't think that level of evil is ever matched in any additional Angelus arcs. And as much as I love Buffy, I do have to agree that there are times when I ended up loving Angel more because it felt more grown up.

Buffy still lives on today. Look at how many people still react and make video essays about. Honestly I like the second half of Buffy better than most of the first half. Season 4 long term arc was weird but episodically… one of the best but def not in my top 3 or anything. 5 is def one of the highest rated seasons because of the long term arc. Dawn is not so bad when you really pay attention. She is one of the most realistic characters as a little sister who finds out she’s “adopted” but worse. Btw Tara was in a magic induced catatonia for like 3 episodes if that. 6 is one of the most controversial seasons but thats people who aren’t paying enough attention. There is a reason the main villains are just a bunch of nerds (the original incels on cable that are actually called out for the wrong they do). Giles is gone, she’s depressed, Willow is getting high on the magic after bringing Buffy back and getting very powerful. Buffy came back because she was a supernatural death but she did not come back wo HUGE consequences like her depression from being in heaven and Willows addiction plus they brought back a demon hitchhiker that terrorized the scoobies and almost killed Buffy again. As controversial as it was especially back then when most people watching were high schoolers, now with Buffy lovers grown, it’s more understood and finally getting the love it deserves. Gen z also seems to be more aware of mental illness problems and seems to relate to the show as well even at younger ages. Anya was looking for comfort, she never wanted to physically or emotionally hurt him but just wanted closure and was unaware because human emotions sometimes confuse her. While I agree it did feel like a set back at first, they really show why she needed to go through that in order to grow into a person who understands her purpose. I agree they went TOO far w Spike but he also did manage to come back from it by getting his soul even if he didn’t know what he was getting into. Tara should have never died though!!!! Ugh awful lol huge mistake but I do love dark Willow so ugh idk. Willow always had it in her and they sprinkled it in as early as season 2. Yes it stained her character. Everyone’s character this season was stained. Its the whole (well not whole) point. As we grow up…. We do awful things sometimes we can’t take back and we have to learn to keep growing and get past it. S6 is better than 7 but still good. Sorry I wrote this out so quickly, probably so many spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes but I gotta go to bed. Anyone who didn’t like it in highscool but hasn’t seen it since should rewatch through adult lenses and see how they feel. It’s a beautiful story drenched in darkness and depth if you pay attention. Give it a chance, If you want ❤ Faith may have been rushed into s7 but glad she was. I love her. She’s so… perfect. I wish her and Willow would have kiss and made up rather than Kennedy (worst character) but then again wasn’t crazy about Willow moving on so quickly either. Ok ok I’m going. Thanks for the video. Any Buffy video is better than none cause at least it’s keeping the memory alive 😊🫶

I'll never forget back in 2015 when I discovered that the my most valuable CD in my collection was the original release of the musical episode "Once More With Feeling" soundtrack. Buffy out there still appreciating in value!

the lost slayer and the gate keeper trilogy books are worth a read if you've not read

I can't believe you let the phrase about metaphors being too nn the nose pass without showing the literal loan shark demon.

Please do the Buffy Series Finale

There is a buffy the vampire slayer, Easter egg in Max Payne 1

To me, season six is the best season. Also, season five’s finale was to act as a series finale, because The WB wasn’t going to renew. It was then picked up by UPN, which we all know merged with The WB to become The CW.

WHICH TIME.?? The first or second time she died....

Did you call Anthony Stewart head Anthony Rupert hall… on purpose?

I loved all the seasons. I do not know what you are complaining about, Veeinfuso/

Restless was the one part of season 4 that fans remember fondly??? Come on, season 4 has some of the best and funniest episodes in the whole show... Pangs, Something Blue, Hush, A New Man, Who Are You?

Damn,it’s sad what season 5 did to what could have been a short lived but still good show.

I think this is like the show slider inside of the rating for season six of Buffy would like to show sliders in, and he came to his lighters again

i wish Johnathan would've lived instead of Andrew

Yes, season season five should’ve been the finale that UPN seasons were crazy. Stupid crazy stupid at all times. I like the finale of it look crazy stupid

Season 4 high was hush Season 5 was supposed to be end
