The season six opening of Buffy (where they resurrect her) is really, really dark. Like, darker than the show has ever been. I'm sorry, but tearing apart Buffy's likeness (the Buffybot)? Willow killing a deer? Willow's arms slashed open while she vomits a live snake? Showing Buffy's decaying corpse before she ... re-inhabits it, and then realizes she's essentially been buried alive?
This is traumatizing stuff.
It doesn't mean that I'm going to stop watching the show, of course. It was just really off-putting for a while. Was it because they switched networks, and UPN was more lenient about the icky stuff than the WB was? I'm not sure ... but, at any rate, things seem to be getting back to normal now.
I mean, normal for Buffy. Which isn't really that, um. Normal. Yeah.
In related news, the plot for the Buffy fanfic has changed somewhat. Oz is prominently involved. So is Angel. I'm sure you can guess where this is going. (It will be a SUBPLOT, the main plot is all action-y.) Also, I'm working on Episode 4 of the web series and am gonna look for prospective actors at the theater BBQ tomorrow. It's a better plan than it sounds. Hopefully we can start shooting soon.
I CANNOT WAIT FOR DOLLHOUSE. Joss Whedon, stop being so awesome. Geez.
