r/BuffyTheVampireSlayer

I a question I asked a friend once was if someone who transitioned into man would he still retain power the power of the Slayer.

Likewise if someone chooses to become woman then does have she potential to become a Slayer?

If they became none binary then would the power be canceled out completely?

As most probably know Season 5 was the originally intended final season, with the Gift being the final episode. Viewing the Gift based on that idea which acts as the better series final Gift or Chosen?

Both are excellent episodes and offer very different types of series finals. The Gift deals with the idea of Buffy meeting her destiny as a Slayer and sacrificing herself for someone else/world.

Versely Chosen deals with Buffy breaking the idea of destiny and giving the power to everyone.

Personally, I feel Chosen is the better final. The entire series has been very much about Buffy rebelling against her fate and fighting to craft her own future. Chosen allows her to do that.

*spoilers for season 5 and beyond!*

So as we all know things played out just fine up until the monks made Dawn and created her memories. But for the most part we don't know much about what those memories entail. Like we get some lines from Dawn going to the beach or the carousel but not too much more. Like when Faith returns she clearly has memories with Dawn involved.

So my question for today is what are some of your head canon ways the monks integrated Dawn into the events of the first four seasons. Since most everything probably stayed the same to get the characters to where they were I doubt anything too crazy can have happened. But I'd like to hear what other people think!

I'll give an example. I bet Dawn found out about Buffy being the slayer long before Joyce did. And little kid Dawn for sure helped Buffy try and keep it a secret!

And I'm still so sad about Tara. Her and Joyce deaths hit way harder than usual TV deaths.

Considering Joss Whedon's career is dead in the water, is a remake of something that is his creation even worth doing?

Many people will turn up their noses if someone they don't is slightly involved at best. People today are not easy to please and doing anything with a property held by a controversial figure is gonna have people arguing over it then seeing it.

I'm currently rewatching Buffy and Angel and noted a number of 'before they were famous' cameos/guest stars. While it has yet to reach XFiles level of infamy its still pretty cool.

So far I've clocked and/or can think of;

Michael Cudlitz

Josh Holloway

Pedro Pascal

Jeremy Renner

Sean Gunn

Felia Day

Nathan Fillion

Gina Torres

Who else is there?

I remember back in the early days of S5 that people created fan theories that Faith references Dawn in her 'litttle miss' speech in Graduation Day (S3.22) and Faith certainly references Dawn 'little sis is coming' in this Years Girl (S4.15).

However, I'm curious does anyone know when the writers actually came up with and started planning for Dawn? Has it ever been officially confirmed?

1. I feel like season 2 started to hit its stride after the first half of the season. With the exception of the hospital episode when Buffy gets the flu. Idk that episode made me bored as hell. 😂 Season really started to get better with the episode that introduces Kendra. Bianca Lawson is so funny and killed that role. Buffy and Kendra's banter was funny as hell. When they killed her I felt pain. </3   I loved the episode with John Ritter. Absolutely loved his acting and that episode overall. Later half the of the season really stepped it up for me and made me excited to watch the next episodes.

2. I like that Cordelia became one of the main characters and I love that she became a part of the group. I was excited to see her role BUT and a HUGE BUT she is just so vapid to me and her storylines were so superficial. I want more for her and I hoped that when she became a main character she would have more storylines that had more depth. Instead I feel like she’s just a side character with not a lot to add to the group. I hope she grows as the seasons continue. Her best moment came when she criticized Buffy for hitting on Xander and also when she roasted the principle and said he has. Bug up his with the size of an emu LOL.  but the way she treated Xander was horrible.. actually made me feel bad for him. They were made for each other really ha..

3. Speaking of Xander, he is a bitch so far. He has so much potential but wastes it being a prick and whining about girls that don’t like him. I  like him as a person outside of that and how he is loyal to a fault to his friends but just can’t stand watching him in the first two seasons when it has to do anything about a girl. 

4. Giles is the best!!!!! Making Buffy feel better about losing her virginity. He supported her and told her he didn’t lose respect for her. It sucked that the second Buffy had sex with angel she got punished. What a horrible story line for that poor girl. I hated it. Why blame her for Angel becoming angelus and moreover because she decided to have sex????? Giles was the highlight of that storyline. On top of that, supporting Buffy when he learned Jenny was lying was even better. He really is such an amazing person. 

5. Willow is one of my favorites. She is wholesome and sweet, I hope I get to see her grow independent of her friends and becoming more confident in herself. I love her and Oz so far 🤍  her being a sub teacher is a crazy plot tho lol

 

Overall I love the 90s vibe, I think outfits, the hair, the sayings are so damn nostalgic and cute. Definitely love the vibe of the show. Im not sure im a fan of angelus and Buffy though. Interested to see if I change my mind.  Onwards and upwards to season 3!!!

I think Tara is a bad girlfriend
She thought she was a half demon for a year when she wast dating and having sex with willow and didn’t tell her
In the episode “Goodbye Iowa” she sabotaged Willows spell to find Adam
She casts the spell to make demons invisible which could have killed people
And faces no consequences for any off it
If I was Willow after finding out my girlfriend lied to me for a year I would have been furious an never be able trust her again but Willow doesn’t even get mad and forgives her instantly
I know Willow does the forget spell in Season 6(an Tara leaves her to deal with her addiction alone)but this is before that and I think it is worse

JFC do I HATE with an absolute visceral reaction HATE Xander. He's an absolute self serving dickhead.
