Buffy 5/7/02

[Ken]

This was an all right episode.  It's a shame to see Tara is gone though.  Willow looks ready to kill Warren, I'd hate to be in his position right now.  I thought the scene where Spike tried to rape Buffy was a bit uncalled for.  It was tasteless and shouldn't have been in there.  Also, why didn't Buffy just throw him off of her?  I mean she is the slayer, instead she just layed on the floor for a while until she kicked him.  Oh well, at least Spike is now going to get his chip pulled out, so we'll see what Spike is really like now

Next week's episode looks like it could be a big improvement.  Willow is going to torture Warren, and Warren is going to get what he deserves.  He should have just remained a nerd who doesn't do anything instead of trying to be a super-villain.  At least Jonathan decided to help Buffy.  Also, next week appears to be the return of Rack, I think that was his name.  Hopefully Amy returns too.  Should be pretty sweet, but I think this season would have been great if they were to turn Willow evil earlier instead of the last couple of episodes.  Maybe it'll lead into next season.

Maybe Willow's gonna be the big bad next season?

I think Buffy didn't throw Spike off cuz she injured her back, remember?   I agree with you Ken, there was no need for Spike to force himself on Buffy. Was that possibly supposed to be a show of his uncontrolable passion for her?

It was sad to see Tara die.  But did you catch the trick they tried to pull to confuse the fans?  Xander wasn't in the opening credits, but Tara was. I did assume that Zander was the one that was going to die. i was shocked when Warren shot Tara (and buffy)

Next week's previews look sweeeeet. I can't wait to see Willow torture Warren.

I had heard the ending of this episode a couple of weeks ago.  So I knew it was going to be Tara and that Buffy was going to be shot.  Dark Willow seems so cool, and I hope she remains as the big bad through next season.  It's probably the only way for Buffy to end on top since next season is the last.  Plus 2 or 3 episodes of Willow being bad just doesn't seem right considering Willow will be probably the worst villain Buffy can possibly fight.  Though Angel was though considering the fact that she loved him, but Willow is her best friend and they've been fighting evil for 6 years now together.  Should be interesting to see how it all turns out.

I didn't see the opening credits of this episode.  I wasn't home at the beginning of the episode and missed the first 15 minutes.

I'm still SICK over the fact that they made Spike try to rape Buffy
