But 7 seasons and a spin-off show later, people are still talking about it!<br /><br />Yeah, I can't count the number of times my roommate and I have watched the entirety of Buffy in a few weeks, then stuck on our DVDs of the X-Files for the umpteenth time to follow! We're all such nerds; it's great!Tea and Tomeshttp://tea-and-tomes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463395374040679379.post-33263936213445643382010-03-04T18:18:53.702+00:002010-03-04T18:18:53.702+00:00Ah, thanks for the comment!

These episode thoughts are a great indulgence of mine on a writerly blog, so it's nice to know that some people read them *grin*<br /><br />Seriously agree with you on The Annoying One! He was just filler, probably because Whedon was still developing the ideas at that point and still wasn't sure the series would be picked up for a second season. <br /><br />I can probably match your Buffy viewings :-pMagemandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08986754628836562869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463395374040679379.post-24438209311315082712010-03-04T17:00:49.440+00:002010-03-04T17:00:49.440+00:00The Annointed one didn't seem to have much of ...The Annointed one didn't seem to have much of a point, really. He shows up early on, provides an excuse for the Master to ramble on for a few scenes, and then has his true moment of glory when he... leads Buffy down into the sewers. Yeah, the totally needed a separate character for that through half a season. Prophecies are neat little things, but when you get things like that, they start to seem pointless. Wouldn't it have been much easier to have a group of vampires drag one of Buffy's friends (likely Giles, so he can be knocked out once more) down to the sewers as bait? The bait trap worked well with Jesse, after all.<br /><br />I am glad that Spike finally killed him. He didn't have much of a point past the end of Season 1, after all.<br /><br />(Can't tell I've watched Buffy about half a million times and analyzed the heck out of it, can you?)Tea and Tomeshttp://tea-and-tomes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
