When most Bouvay is a fatal vampire Fans re -watch the show, and they are afraid to reach the sixth season because it is such a landing. Not only does Tara die, but this is the season in which we see Buffy, frankly, with the high vampires and engaging in another behavior outside the magic to deal with the pressures of re -faring from the dead. Interestingly, though, this terrible season actually predicts one of the best and oldest episodes in the show. We are talking about Foolish The second season episode “When it was bad”, which also included the killer who behaves outside the character due to the tremendous stress.
Foolish Fans had no way to know this when the episode was shown for the first time, of course, but “when it was bad” she knew the sixth show season by making everyone (both fans and characters) angry at the title of the title. For context, Buffy literally died at the hands of the Master at the conclusion of the first season; However, Zander brought her back to life via CPR and defeated the villain. But in the first show of the second season, she was significantly out of the character: she settles in Willoo, and she is cruel to Cordelela, and she is cold for an angel, and she goes to the extent of flirting with him to disturb her humble boyfriend.
If you Foolish A fan that you see “When it was bad” for the first time, you will likely spend a lot of episode screaming on TV and asking why the murderer suddenly is indifferent and means during the summer. However, it turns out that all this is a manifestation of Buffy shock from her battle with the master, and she returns to the old herself after the vampire bones were shattered, and any actual opportunities to revive them via the dark magic. For the largest part, this is a good respectable episode, and it is a paradox because it predicts the basic aspect of the 6 season.
It is easy to isolate the individual elements from the sixth season, which was hated by countless fans, including Buffy’s terrible relationship with Spike (those that culminate in the attempt to rape). However, this relationship and other bad decisions are driven by the fact that Buffy’s friends revived her after her death in the fifth season; They made it clear that it could be stuck in the aftermath of hell, but Buffy later revealed that they accidentally extracted it from the sky. This, along with the shock of the mother of Buffy, who died in the previous season, guaranteed that the muzzle spent the season in the event of depression, as she dealt with worldly things such as bills as well as the monsters Undad.
Looking at what we know about Buffy in the sixth season, it is fair to say that “when it was bad” he predicted that season later by showing how it interacts with shock by making bad decisions, especially romantic decisions. In the previous episode, this may be the best example through its angel often and even driving Xander with an exciting dance in order to make Vampire Boy Gever. We do not want to reduce the previous shock of Buffy, but if she was killed and then revived immediately, it caused all this romantic drama, it is completely reasonable that the hands are obtained from the sky after that Months It would lead to a toxic relationship with spike.
Unfortunately, what Foolish The writers and producers failed to see it is that “when it was bad” was specifically effective because it portrayed a single -class bow in which the killer triumphed over her shock while the credits were rolled. It is good to have one episode or an arc where our hero is on the back foot, but with the shows of the sixth season, no one really wants to completely season From our title, depression shock has decreased.
For the better or worse, this is what made fans closer to Buffy because the sixth season is a shock that we shared together, although only Slayer deals with their fatigue by having sex with a hot vampire. In this way, you can say that all shocks have been created equally … some are more equal (and road More terrible) than others.
