Thoughts of Buffy
So, I just finished watching Buffy for the first time and I now have it's spin off Angel to watch. I plan to write more about both shows once I've finished Angel so you'll be seeing another thoughts of Buffy in the future. I just wanted to ramble somewhere about my initial feelings of how Buffy ended and just my thoughts on the show as whole. I loved the show. It was very entertaining to watch.
I loved the characters. There was always someone to relate to on screen. I think my favourite characters were Tara, Oz and Giles. Willow and Spike would have been on that list too as I loved them in earlier seasons but I hate what they became. I felt so seen when Willow had her love triangle with Oz and Tara. I loved both relationships. I love multisexual identities being seen on screen, I hate how they tried to erase that though. I like early seasons Spike too. I thought him and Buffy's dynamic was interesting. I liked how sarcastic he was. But season 6 ruined him by making him do things I just don't think is in line for Spike to do. He was an evil vampire sure, but he was gentlemanly about it.
I don't think the ending was fair either. Anya deserved a better death than to just die with people barely noticing. I have complicated feelings on Spike's death because I do believe that he would die for Buffy, I just don't think his last moments with Buffy was in character for him.
As much as I have my complaints about this show, I have praises for it to. The musical episode was so enjoyable and I loved hearing the cast sing too. On the opposite, I really enjoyed the silent episode too. I really like the chemistry between all of the characters. I loved the father-daughter bond between Buffy and Giles, I think it was beautifully executed. Willow, Xander and Buffy's friendship was very strong. Anya was so blunt and I loved that about her character, same with Cordelia. Xander has a type.
But anyway, I will write something more structured about this show in the future. It's a cult classic. It deserves more than one post. This was just a ramble while I'm still processing the ending.
