Sarah Michelle Gellar Regrets Not Keeping More Clothes from BTVS

[pepsi_twist9]

Whether fighting vampires or putting together a chic outfit, Buffy Summers always slayed, but unfortunately, star Sarah Michelle Gellar didn't keep all of those iconic '90s and '00s looks. https://t.co/srZwTqIG8v

I wish they hadn’t made Spike so human like. When he eventually got his soul it didn’t feel that significant. It would’ve been interesting if he was straight up William and had no idea wtf was going on and started experiencing all the things he did as Spike.

That’s true, it seemed like they were setting up something more interesting at first in Lessons when Buffy first comes across him in the basement and he’s not quite with it and mumbling some William phrases about dropping his chalkboard or something, but then by the next episode he’s dyed his hair and trying to get back to his old self again. I guess there was pressure to get Spike back as soon as possible as he was such a popular character, but there was a lot more interesting things they could have done at that time, rather than just writing a slightly more subdued version of the Spike that we were already familiar with

It pissed me off because I was like - you're already asking me as the viewer to buy the not-very-credible idea that Buffy would forgive him. The very least the writing needs to do is differentiate him from his un-souled self, if you want me to accept that he's soooo much better and sorry and rehabilitated, yet they did little to nothing to differentiate the two (because they'd have pissed off fans who liked Spike as is). So all I got by way of a redemption arc was Spike acting crazy for two episodes then reverting to type. His lack of remorse over Nikki particularly was really grating

Realizing it was all Joss Whedon punishing SMG for not being a ~team player~ makes it even worse

The man really treated this incredible characters like his Voodoo Barbies

Especially the AR scene. Both Sarah and James begged for it to not be in the show but he made them. James has said it was the worse day in his career and thought about killing himself after they filmed it. Fuck Joss forever.
