Buffy The Vampire Slayer - S06x11|♡Uncut Reaction &Review ♡

The Trio is “out of place”. Yes, this whole season is a deconstruction of the tropes of the show. With the Trio the Big Bad gets deconstructed. The show doesn’t rest in their past formulas. It’s always moving forward (though next season it moves forward by moving backward). And the Trio gets to cause problems for Buffy that we’ve never seen before. At first, they are just pains in her ass, both comedy and a hardship for her depression, but soon we’ll see them take on a more sinister quality, and the comedy will be most largely separated from the true villainry. As you said Buffy can’t kill humans (which makes them, actually, very interesting) and that presents a problem like last year when it seemed she couldn’t kill a god. And the seventh, last, season – how do you defeat ultimate evil? This season, Buffy doesn’t kill “the big bad” – and how that does occur – *who* kills the big bad – is the plot of the season’s end, when the bigger bad than the pathetic little man is won over by love.

Season 6 has been my favourite season since it first aired, and the one season I have rewatched more than any ever.

Buffy and spike… buffy is all over the place regarding spike because her feelings all over the place, she despises him but then.. she keeps his lighter, and pretends she hasn’t seen it, and I love spike’s face when he accidentally finds it, he’s like girl, WTF 😂😂 I believe too that there’s more to what buffy is showing and saying to spike’s face, he’s just her punching bag, buffy is not in a place to love anyone in a healthy way, because she doesn’t love herself, but doesn’t mean she’s not in love with spike, in the same toxic selfish way that he’s in love with her. And I completely agree with you Sofìe about spike not wanting to hurt buffy, some people make the point that spike is gaslighting buffy to isolate her from her friends, I don’t think we can call that gaslighting in that spike would have to be aware of what he’s doing, yes he’s evil, but still I can’t picture him as a Machiavellian moustache twirling type of villain, he’s just limited by his lack of conscience in his perception of love and genuinely thinks that he’s helping buffy by dragging her down because he thinks that she came back less human, a demon like him and she would be happy if she let herself embrace it.

I love season 6, it’s true it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, you either love it or hate it, but I’m glad you’re enjoying it so far. I can understand why some people don’t though, and I think it’s because this season speaks to a specific audience, people who relates to it, and I think it’s very unique what they’re doing, you don’t see in many shows such a realistic portrayal of depression, going places that are uncomfortable and touching themes that people don’t really want to talk about, and it feels very authentic and earned in that buffy literally died and was ripped out of heaven, and it’s a bold writing choice that they didn’t instantly make it all good but decided to deal with the repercussions and explore one’s mental state after severe trauma, and it makes me love buffy the character even more. Also, fun fact: when buffy is walking out of the office, she is whistling “going through the motions” from the musical episode

Season 6 is my favourite season. I just finished your season 4 reactions so I am looking forward to your season 5 reactions!

Season 6 is my favorite. People have strong positive or negative reactions to it. It's always great to find a reactor like yourself that enjoys and appreciates what the show is doing this season.

The people who dislike season 6 tend to be very vocal about it, but there are plenty of us who love it. Your appreciation for the themes and character arcs of the season is something I love to see.

Poor James lol, what an awkward thing to have to do

Season 6 is my favorite. I find it very relatable as well as a total deconstruction of everything we have grown accustomed to.

Drop earrings look amazing on you. 🥰🖤 Lol your reaction to invisibuffy and spike was hilarious 🤣

Just a pre comment before watching but a genuine question from a new patreon subscriber. I am curious why Dropbox is the only format link for content. Like why not also one hub or google drive or something? Dropbox doesn’t always work and often is under maintenance.

Good to see a cheerleader for Season 6 (my personal favorite--along with 7).

I hated s6 when I first watched it, in real time I should add, but over the years it has really grown on me and minus how on the nose some of the addiction stuff is + some of the other plot points (I'm sure you know what I mean) I now think it's a fantastic season

Season 6 is actually my favorite, it’s definitely a love it or hate it kind of season. It’s definitely controversial but you will find fans who like it a lot.
