Buffy Season 7... aka WHY FAITH, WHY?!!!!
So last night the girlfriend and I are having this discussion about Season 7 and how many things seem to jump around and make no sense.
Oh by the way, yes I am completely aware that I haven't posted on LJ for several months. How ya doin'?
Why is it that there is one episode where Buffy cries her eyes out on the porch, stares at Faith with a long look of pain and sorrow for love unrequited, and then the very next week, she is laughing and joking and all "oh haha Spike you kill that dumb bitch hee hee". Why is it that we have the Mayor (the First) reading Faith's mind and standing there saying "you love Buffy", but then she is pouncing on Principal BooHoo-My-Mommy's-Dead immediately after? Ok maybe I was stretching with the first example, because Buffy is half braindead and never noticed how Faith is madly in love with her. But the second thing is true!
If I try to think of Faith as a real character, and not as a pawn who is battered and beaten ruthlessly by some writers who I hate (*cough cough* Noxon *cough* Kirshner! *cough*), then I can only conclude that she is so upset over her twoo lurve for Buffy that she must fuck the next person she sees. You know, as like, an effort to get over it, and pretend she likes someone else. So she chose to get down with Principal Droopy Dog. Oh, you were not aware that he looks exactly like Droopy Dog, you say? Well compare closely:
I know you are saying "But Droopy Dog is white, and naked!" Well, the differences end there!
But wait, there's more. Faith must have been thinking of Buffy the whole time, because you will notice that she gets into bed with Droopy still mostly clothed. Aha! She could get naked for Xander, but not for Droopy Wood?! The plot is thickening more and more.
The moral of this story is: I hope that no one remembers to tell Marti Noxon that the writer's strike is over. Seriously, Marti, get over your fantasies that James Marsters is going to do you, and focus on picking out the right denim jumper to take your kids to soccer practice in. Also, Spike was cool, but you made him a pussy.
