Season Six of Buffy (Some S5 Angel/S7 Buffy talk behind the cut-tag)

I mean, this should come as a surprise to absolutely no one, but... man, I love me some Season Six Buffy.

Just rewatched Once More, With Feeling and it's reminding me of all of the things that I adore about Season Six. Buffy. And Xander. And did you see that adorable parental moment about Dawn? It should be noted that Giles is not part of the "No ( Read more... )

I hope you're bringing the recent eps tomorrow!

There will be Angelage.

I felt the same way about season six, so much so that it was almost painful. I can't decide if I was having a particularly bad year that year, or if it had to do with Marti and Joss's decision to propel the characters developmentally forward so they could tell stories about the hell that is life in your mid-twenties. 'Cause, suddenly the Scoobies and I were pretty much the same age. And it was like looking into an odd sort of mirror.

Yeah. It was just so realistic. Painful but real.

With you on the sixth season love... selenak November 7 2003, 23:30:43 UTC

...wish I had something more profound to say, but am also lacking time in regards to my net access. But: hell as the absence of hope. Yes. And that was Buffy's goal of the season. To regain hope.

And that's a tough goal to meet. Because you have to find something that'll last.

I'm so with you on the season six love.

In the end, it was not fighting that destroyed the First, but someone standing there to let the light in.

I just want to say that that was phrased beautifully.

Thank you!

And yeah, Spike did a good thing last year. He took an unknown dangerous thing and let it do whatever it would. That takes guts.

Hi!
I am a new person in LJ, and I am so happy I found your journal. I, too, love season six and identify with Buffy of that period more than of previous ones. it actually helps me to live my own live.
Oh, and I totally agree about hell as the absence of hope. This description goes back to Dante's Inferno, I think (not that know much of Dante, honestly). I am intrigued how this theme will develop on AtS this year.

Re: Season Six butterfly November 8 2003, 09:38:02 UTC

Hi!

It's nice to meet you.

And I don't know a lot about Dante either (sometimes, I think about reading the book, and then I remember that I actually really don't want to, because descriptions of pain and torment aren't my thing).

And yeah, Angel looks all kinds of interesting this year.

I did read it, one summer when I had absolutely nothing else to do. Some pieces somehow got stuck in my head.

The piece I keep thinking, watching Angel now, is the inscription above the gateway to hell: ABANDON EVERY HOPE, WHO ENTER HERE.
Seems fitting.

Re: Season Six butterfly November 10 2003, 15:33:53 UTC

Sadly, yeah, it does. Poor hopeless things.
