So i've had time recently to catch up on the last season of Buffy, ie the season of the First. And it's a little more serious and dark than usual. But the humor remains. And reminds why I love Buffy so much- no matter how complicated the plot gets, or how far it withdraws into the mysterious Buffyverse, the writers always manage to pull out the humor and a some meta commentary. this reflexiveness tames the series and reassures me, as a fan, that someone is in control and up there balancing the scales of drama and comedy. the same continues in Firefly.
like replacing "hostage" with "guestage" as Andrew says
I heart Joss Whedon
Whee Buffy! But let's be honest...Spike's "crazy" routine gets really old really quickly. By the end of the season I wanted to shoot myself. But I love the randomness and sexiness of Principal Wood, yes I do. Mhmmmm. lol.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was awesome that they revived the Foxy-brownesque 70s slayer- so much cooler than Buf. Robin Wood (ie robin hood?) was definitely a breath of fresh air.
