Thoughts As I Watch

[faithlehane]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Season Five - Well, another season has come and gone. I felt this season went by EXTREMELY fast. It only took me about five or six days to watch it. A lot of the episodes melded together, and there were a lot of "To be continued..." moments. I didn't find Dawn as annoying as I thought I would have, especially towards the end. She was willing to die for Buffy and her friends. Joyce's death made me cry, and it was also depressing when Glory sucked Tara's brain. Speaking of Glory, she's my favorite Buffyverse villain so far. She brings a sense of reality into the character, unlike The Master, Adam, The Mayor, or Angelus. You actually see her thoughts, and finally Ben starts to come through and attempt to help Dawn and Buffy, but he ultimately joins with Glory. I'm glad Giles killed him, though. I thought the Buffybot was hilarious, as was Harmony, as usual. I never liked Riley, so I'm glad he left.

Favorite episodes:

Family - Great introspect into Tara's past, since we really hadn't gotten any. And Amy Adams! <3

Fool for Love - As with Family, there was a great look at Spike/William the Bloody's past. And we finally get our first glimpse into Spuffy. (Well, sans Something Blue.)

The Body - Wow. This was the most depressing episode of Buffy so far, and the way Joss had no background music just goes to show how amazing a writer/director he is.

Intervention - "You are my best friend. You are recentley gay." ;D

Tough Love - We get our first look at Dark Willow in this season, who I really liked. Like I said before, Tara getting her brain sucked out by Glory was really sad.

The Gift - I was glad Glory/Ben, and Doc(?) were finally killed. Buffy's gravestone made me tear up a bit, though.

Overall, it's either my favorite or second favorite season so far.

Easily a 10/10.

My prediction is that seeing as you like this season so much, you won't like Season 6 anywhere near as much.

Personally Season 6 is one of my fave's and Season 5 is one of my least faves....hence the reasoning for my prediction. It tends to be that fans who LOVE season 5 don't rate season 6 very highly and vice versa.....but we'll see.

I love reading your thoughts as you watch, it takes me back to my first viewings....aahhhh those were the days lol

Well, considering I'm EXTREMELY excited for Dark Willow and Once More, With Feeling, I have a hunch that I'll be enjoying S6.

She's been in a few things, movies and stuff...the only one I can think of off the top of my head is The Wedding Date. But anywho, she played Cousin Beth in Family.

Amy Adams played Giselle in Enchanted. She was also in Doubt (Which earned her an Oscar nom), Cruel Intentions 2, Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day, Charlie Wilson's War, and a few others.

Angel: Season Two - I hate to say it, but I didn't like Angel Season One. Most of the episodes bored me, and the only ones I really liked were the Faith ones. Oh, and I really miss Cordelia's long hair. That said, I LOVED Angel Season Two! Angel didn't annoy me much this season and we were introduced to the wonderful Fred! I don't really like Gunn, though, and hope he leaves soon.

Favorite Episodes:

Judgement - FAITH IN JAIL! (Well, the Faith part.)

Dear Boy - Darla comes back!

Darla - I forget why I liked this episode so much, but I really did.

The Trial/Reunion/Redefinition - DRUSILLA!

Blood Money - We see Anne again!

Disharmony - Harmony AND Willow! <3

There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb - Princess Cordy/Fred/Willow's cameo at the end.

I'd rate it as a 9/10.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Six - So Season Six is officially my favorite Buffyverse season ever. It was amazing. Even though the emotional part of the season was very heavy at times, the characters development made up for it completely. Willow. Poor, poor Willow. First she finds out she took Buffy out of Heaven instead of the Hell Demension she assumed her to be in. Then she gets addicted to magic, which causes Tara to break up with her. Then she de-rats Amy only for Amy to get her "high" and almost kill Dawn. And then the thing that tops it all: Tara dying. Buffy almost dying. All because of stupid, stupid Warren. I HATED Warren. He killed one of my favorite characters, and quite possibly the sweetest person in the Buffyverse, and on television in general. When Dark Willow engulfed Willow's body, she was completely destructive. She didn't even care if she hurt her friends, the ones who have been there for her for at least six years, some her whole life. She almost killed Giles, manipulated Anya, almost killed Buffy, taunted Dawn (She may have deserved that.) And then finally Xander, her best best friend, was the only one who could save her in the end. I'm sad to see what repercussions Dark Willow's actions will cause in Season Seven. Now onto Anya and Xander. Xander, yet again, made a stupid movie by leaving Anya at the altar. If he was having doubts from the beginning, why did he even propose to her? :Headshake: Buffy and Spike. Spike trying to rape Buffy made me lose a lot of respect for him. There was no need, although Buffy really was being a bitch about the whole thing. To toy with his emotions by continiously sleeping with him, even though she knew he loved her, was just as evil as anything Willow did in the last three episodes.

Favorite Season Six Episodes:

Bargaining Parts One and Two - Giles departure was sad, even though he came back twice. Although it made me wonder why he wasn't at Anya and Xander's wedding.

All the Way - I love the Buffy Halloween episodes, and this was no exception. Especially since Xander finally announced his engagement.

Once More, With Feeling - My FAVORITE BUFFY EPISODE EVER! It was so amazing, I couldn't even believe it. I keep listening to the soundtrack now. "I'm Under Your Spell" and "Walk Through the Fire" are definitely my favorites.

Older and Far Away - Tara standing up to Willow and making fun of Spike was hilarious and happy at the same time, since she is really coming out of her shell.

Entropy - Anya sleeping with Spike, and Willow and Tara getting back together, only to have...

Seeing Red - Tara and Buffy get shot by Warren. My thoughts have already been posted above.

Villains/Two to Go/Grave - Buffy found her way out of a grave again, only this time with her sister, and truly happy. Dark Willow was both scary and despressing. I hope we don't have to see any more of her.

11/10

Angel: Season Three - My favorite Angel season out of the first three. Darla's death made extremely sad. Teenaged Connor annoyed the hell out of me, as did Holtz and Groo. I personally felt Wesley did the right thing at the time, and the group should have been a little softer on him. I also wish Cordelia and Angel would have gotten together at the end, though I'm glad Cordy's become a higher being.

My favorite episodes were:

Lullaby
Birthday
Waiting in the Wings
Tomorrow
