Unspoiled! Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Yeah . . ..

Soooo much wokeness to tackle in these episodes.
Also, apparently you still work for W&H after you die? Do lawyers have valued skill sets in Hell?

Kate gets fired. And it makes sense, I wish more procedurals with supernatural elements would get this.

Y'all, men are terrible.
Spike comes out to Buffy about his crush, then reconnects with Drusilla . . . and honestly neither of them come out smelling any better. These are not characters I want to spend more time with unless their given something more than romantic feelings to work with. Harmony dumps Spike, but through that entire fight scene I couldn't get over that Buffy has very personal reasons to want both Harmony and Dru dead, but all her attention is focused on her bickering with Spike.

Then we have a robot girl looking for Warren. Warren is trash, and a coward, but the final five minutes of this episode were rather touching. Both Buffy staying with robot girl as she powers down . . . . and . . . yeah. That last part broke my heart.

We'll be back in two weeks with Natasha as a guest star.

We were hangry. And we didn't like these eps. What happened to Darla?

Everyone knows but Dawn.
I've been there, that's some bullshit. I feel you, girl. Also Glory is a god, but I don't know what that means in this context? Are gods above or below the Powers that Be? We're the oracles immortal too?
Also the Watcher's council is back and are just as useless as ever.

So Angel got dark. Also he fired everyone.
But we're all here for the Darla/Drusilla stuff, so we don't really care.

Do you know where the are babies?

It's mostly contrived nonsense this week.
Bright Spots:
Kate. I've made no secret that I like Kate, and I like that she's not Angel's friend. I hope this doesn't change their dynamic. It's much more interesting to have these two good guys at each other's throats and getting in each other's way. I don't want Angel to become Kate's friend just because he's good.

Drusilla/Darla. Honestly most of the "good" comes from speculation on my part here. The fact that Drusilla is in league with W&H makes this so much more interesting, as it finally puts a believable reason behind bringing Darla back, and hints at a much larger goal.

Y'all . . .
These episodes were truly affecting. Buffy is having to grow up fast, with Joyce dealing with a life-threatening illness. Worse, there's no supernatural cause, so there's nothing Buffy is used to fighting. And she has to be a mom to Dawn along with all her other duties.

Not to mention the bug demon that preys on the mentally ill? And that other people can summon it to get rid of troublesome people?

Jesus this is dark.

Holy shit holy shit holy shit. THIS IS WHY I'M HERE!
