Eurgh! This might be a cheat but I'm going to pick Spike's first appearance in School Hard because… It has a genuinely evil Spike It has a healthy dose of Drusilla And it has Joyce with an axe… … which ripens into a nice gag in Becoming II So best Spike-centric episode is definitely School [...]
Not being part of the Buffy fanatics world I tend to only know who "everyone else hates" thanks to Hazel. In her post she mentions Riley (who I don't really mind that much), Kennedy (who was a bit annoying) and Dawn… Dawn!? Dawn was great… or at least could have been great, except that after [...]
I was going to go for Oz again although he actually did get a fair bit of screen time, he just sadly wasn't well enough used (see also Dawn) – there were plenty of one-offs I would happily have seen more of (Hazel mentions a couple)… but I'm going to pick one who was I [...]
I wanted to say Oz, because he’s so very cool – but I’m really not that cool… not even close to Oz cool! I thought about Xander because he’s a bit (quite a lot) of a nerd, but I’m really not anything like that… thankfully. I pondered Willow… but not clever enough and don’t really [...]
Hazel has been kind enough to post a bottom 10 so I didn't have to. There are a couple in there that I didn't mind so much. The first time I watched Beer Bad I winced…it seemed pretty grim that's for sure so it was no surprise to find that it was not the most [...]
If you've made it this far through my 30 Days of Buffy you'll be very unsurprised to discover that my… Favourite Male Villain is, of course, Mayor Richard Wilkins "But on the other hand, heck, maybe we won. And right now, I'm on some jumbo monitor in the Richard Wilkins Museum, surrounded by a bunch [...]
Oh Hazel thinks she's so very smart, she thinks she knows me so well – "it'll be Glory" she says… and it is. It shouldn't be – it should be Drusilla because of "Grrr shhh bad dog" but it is Glory because… She was almost as funny as Dru, particularly when fighting Buffybot or having [...]
As potentials go from forgettable to annoying it's not too tough to choose a favourite… I was tempted to pick Vi because… you know… it's Felicia Day and that's almost reason enough… but not quite. My choice is Amanda, for her lovely long face and for "that's what I did. I stuck up for myself. [...]
I've found this quite tough – partly because I don't remember episodes too well – but instead remember events. For that reason I'll pick my least favourite "event" and that appears in the episode "Gone" Spike having sex with invisible Buffy and the way that they (she!) behaves when Xander comes looking for her is [...]
I think that Hazel was a bit generous by letting Spike/Buffy off the hook because it "was so pathetic and she kept hitting him" – personally I think a romance built on stalking and violence is really no romance at all and so this one sort of walks away with my least favourite. Of course [...]
