Reviewing Movies

Season 6 drives home the fact that Willow and Co. are a bunch of
self-indulgent amateurs and before he leaves Giles gives it to Willow
with both barrels. Resurrecting someone from the dead is one thing but
leaving them alive six-feet-under in their coffin is beyond nightmare.

I've always liked Xander but he's been played as an awkward less than
bright butt of everyone's jokes. While everyone else goes off to college
he ends up in dead-end menial jobs. As his figure thickens with age he
continues to play the laughable clumsy unemployed lug. It was great in
Season 5 for at least one episode to see Nicholas Brendan the actor
prove he can play graceful, witty, and intelligent.

Season Six sees various riffs on the trauma Buffy sustains in having
been brought back from the dead. Willow is repeatedly raked over the
coals for her use of magic. The point is driven home that actions have
consequences and the fact that one can do a thing does not make it wise
to do so. Long before Season 6 ends the audience begins to feel that the
writers have run out of new ideas. Long before the show ends with Season
7 it feels like we've gone to the Hell Mouth once too often.

Not sure how I'll stay awake for Season 7, barely managing it for Season
6. I've definitely lost interest.
