The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Thursday, May 9

Joyce: Hi! What are you doing? Buffy: There's a lot of weird people outside at night... I just feel better with you safe and sound inside. You must be beat. Joyce: I am. We're a little gallery. You have no idea how much-- Buffy: Well, then why don't you go upstairs and get into bed, and I can bring you some hot tea? Joyce: That's sweet! What'd you do?

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER — 6x18: “Entropy”.

[kiss2012]

if season 5 isn’t ur favourite buffy season ur just wrong it literally has everything: most entertaining villain(s) with one of the best backstories and parallels with so many characters (also glory is hot). Best finale. dawn. buffy’s hoop earrings, hair, and eldest sister-ism. 5x16 the body and everything after. every episode is solid. the introduction of the magic shop. found family. merits repeating once more that buffy looks great this season.

[malewifespike]

the end of x files s6 is starting to really piss me off because they just keep having all these minor characters the motw characters allude to their faces that they’re in love with each other and they just never talk about it or acknowledge it. like they’re just existing like that both knowing they have feelings and THE WAY they’re writing scully as so obviously jealous teetering on annoying sometimes actually but Mulder is never like “why so jealous huh?” he’s never glib about it which is his nature to be jokey and glib about stuff but NEVER that. like hello how long Can the writers extend this ‘friendship but knowing they’re in love with each other but not ever acknowledging it’ thing it’s getting old

Everyone knows now!

So that happened. Cat’s finally out of the bag.

Anya’s back as a vengeance demon, hoping to make Xander suffer for leaving her at the altar. Which, uh, fair. But the problem is that a vengeance demon helps other people achieve their wishes; she can’t do it herself, even though she tries her darndest, especially when Xander, though he wants to get back together, still doesn’t want to be married. So Anya goes around to all of Xander’s friends in order to try to convince one of them to wish for Xander’s demise. But none of them hate Xander that much. Sure, they’re disappointed in how things turned out, and a couple of them are upset about what he did to Anya, they don’t want him dead. So she storms off.

Buffy and Xander discover a garden gnome in the yard of the Summers house, which she didn’t put there, and it turns out that it’s a secret camera. Xander initially suggests Spike put it there, but when Buffy confronts Spike she’s convinced it wasn’t him. So Willow hacks the camera. While that’s going on, Spike goes to the magic shop because he wants some potion to numb his emotional pain. Anya gives him booze, they get drunk, and start making out. And just when things get heavy, Willow hacks into the camera’s full network, seeing where else the Trio (because OF COURSE it’s the Trio you dumb-dumbs) planted cameras, including one in the magic shop, so Willow, Buffy, Xander and Dawn all get to see Spike and Anya having sex.

Oops.

Dawn works out that Buffy and Spike were A Thing from Buffy’s reaction, and asks her why she didn’t tell about it, which prompts Buffy to admit that she didn’t want to admit it to herself. Xander, on the other hand, is FURIOUS, and grabs Buffy’s axe with the intention of murdering Spike. Buffy stops him from going that far, but during the ensuing argument Spike tells Xander that he and Buffy used to fondue, and Xander walks off disgusted.

But Willow and Tara got back together, so yay?

Notes!

-This truth had to come out sooner or later, and of course it did in the worst way possible. At the beginning of the episode, Buffy tells Spike that she doesn’t think that her friends would really care; after all, she tried to kill them last week, and they forgave her instantly. But I think that this, combined with that, would have more repercussions.

-I’m unclear if Willow knows about Spike and Buffy; I wouldn’t be surprised if she did, also pulling from Buffy’s reaction.

-The Trio is up to SOMETHING, but I don’t know what; they have some kind of spell that Jonathan performs, and it points to a place on the map. Also worthy of note: Andrew and Warren are plotting to backstab Jonathan? I don’t know why. Warren’s an evil son of a gun who is easily irritable, but I can’t imagine why he finds Jonathan more annoying than Andrew.

-I keep forgetting that Anya’s full name is Anyanka.

-I like that while the show portrays Xander sympathetically, it’s not too sympathetic towards him; after all, he did something pretty terrible to Anya. And his attempts to fix it aren’t good, guys. He basically wants things to go back to how they were, without the marriage or him leaving, and that’s not what Anya wanted. She was so looking forward to their relationship moving forward, and Xander’s basically just scared of committing to anything more than just a live-in girlfriend.

And Anya’s not right in wanting to have revenge on Xander, but she’s also not wrong to be upset as she is. She got dumped in the most humiliating way possible, by a guy who still doesn’t understand her emotional needs, and even though Buffy’s take on this, that her pain is legitimate and she needs some space to work this out, is probably the healthiest it’s not something that she wants to hear right now. Understandably so.

No, her sleeping with Spike isn’t good, in any sense, but it’s understandable from the character’s point of view, because she’s hurting, drunk, and Spike is playing on those feelings of rejection because he ALSO has a lot of those emotional beats in his own psyche and so they make this terrible decision. 

-And Spike’s pretty emotionally messed up if his reaction to Buffy rejecting him is “I need magic to make this bad feeling go away!” Because that’s his intent when he walks into the magic shop.

-Would Giles have made things better if he were here?

-I know that Xander hates Spike, and we needed the Drama for the Plot to work, but how did he leap to the assumption that Spike put the camera there? This screams the MO of the Trio, three guys who are explicitly good with technology. It seems as if they worked it out by the time Willow’s hacking the doohickey, but they act as if it isn’t completely obvious.

-Buffy and Dawn’s interactions this episode: I like it. Keep it up.

-TV Tropes points out that while Spike says he’d never hurt Buffy, and she agrees with that, the plain fact of it is that he has TOTALLY hurt her, both physically and emotionally, even after realizing that he’s in love with her. Sometimes it’s him being a dick, but there have definitely been actual fights too.

-We’re almost at the end of the season! What’s going to happen? I don’t know! Are the Trio really our Big Bad? I hope not, but we don’t have that much time to introduce another.
