Buffy Challenge Post 66: Season 7: Episodes 15 – 16

Get it Done

Previously on Buffy….. Buffy creates an army….. The first is trying to knock off the potentials…. Willow has a new squeeze…… Buffy has faith in Spike……. The principal turns out to be a slayers kid…… who happens to be the slayer that Spike killed….. Now he is not so happy.

The house looks like it has had a heap of teenage girls staying there….. ok wait. The crazy first slayer attacks “it’s not enough
and it was all a dream.

Anya is wondering why she has made the decisions that she has made, it’s not easy being human. Anya and Spike together are fantastic….. It would of been a little anti climatic if the health inspector shut the house down. Anya runs her mouth and thankfully  a demon shuts her up!

The old good cop, bad cop routine…. and it seems that the hell mouth has started to go crazy. Don’t stop tell us what you really think of yourself. Principal Wood gives Buffy a box from her mother….. wait his name is Robin Wood??? LAME!

What is lamer, Andrew….. even Buffy can’t explain what this guy is doing here! WORST MAP EVER!!!  Where did all these slayers come from? and Why is Kennedy in charge? just another normal day at the summers household as Willow is tongue tied to explain what is going on….. nice call back to season one.

“here you are, walking, talking, annoying….” what a great line by Spike. Robin has that I want to kill this guy look. Tensions will rise I guess between these two. Really Dawn, the ancient Samarians didn’t teach English? What a shock? one of the potentials hung themselves thanks to the first. The mind games continue, this is serious now as the battle lines continue to be defined.

Worst Eulogy ever! Buffy takes charge as she lays down the law. She is not pulling any punches and no one is safe. Buffy Cross over with the muppets, I’d pay to see that. Shadow puppet time…. now that was impressive as it opens a portal and makes and exchange…. for some reason they get the worse of it as a giant demon comes through. Buffy lands in Arizona.  Kennedy is pushing Willow to use her magic.

Buffy needs to be hit in the head for her to realise that this is not a dream as the gang are trying to work out a way to open up the portal. Evil Willow is BACK!!!! The Sharman have Buffy tied up and are starting some ritual where they creating the slayer, the music and effects are awesome.

Spike vs Demon round two and out comes the jacket, which belonged to Robin’s mum. Willow is going nuts and has opened up the portal to Buffy. Spike is enjoying this fight a little too much. Buffy fights back for women’s rights and takes out the old guys who created the first slayer. Spike is BACK, and dumps to demon into the portal to retrieve Buffy. Although we still don’t know what the revelation that she received.  Kennedy gets a wake up call from Willow.

Been a long day for Buffy as she seems to be regretting the fact that she refused the power that was offered. OH BOY, that can not be good!!!!!

Storyteller

Previously…… The recap of the “NERDS” Storyline from last season….. I can’t believe that this is going to be an Andrew story….. potential slayers coming…… Principal Wood is the offspring of the slayer who was killed by Spike……

Master theatre presents ……. (waiting for the cookie monster to show up!)  nope only Andrew…. (love the star wars posters.)

breaking the 4th wall…..

He is going all Dr. Suess on us as we see Buffy flip and spin….. Great question by Anya as we go into the credits. Why do vampires show up on video? this is them trying to give Andrew a purpose in this show. Is he trying to make a move on Anya? Yay for visual aids….

the magic whiteboard marker trick as Andrew explains what is happening the whiteboard marker is changing colour between black and red. If he couldn’t get any more annoying he is now annoying with a camera. That is how every woman eats cornflakes. Wind machines make everything sexy! back to grumpy old Buffy. Another mistake as we see his shadow sans camera.

Andrew continues his fantasy sequence as he now re writes history, as all good historians do.  FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! Buffy sees a girl fade it looks like everything is going crazy at school. Being at high school can feel like war but is shouldn’t look like it!

What’s wrong with this guy…… no one cares about the windowsill…. Xander and Anya the tell all interview, this can’t go well. could this be the reunion that we hope for? they should have gotten married but oh well.

Wood and Buffy are examining the seal to the hell mouth. Wood seemed to be possessed somehow. Spike is awesome, he is into the whole movie thing more than we thought, as we get back to the conversation that is being taped by Andrew. Real touching stuff, back to the episode we see the crazy teens possessed in the basement. It seems that Andrew and Jonathan have had the visions of the future from a year ago when they were on the run.

Andrew has been interrupted by the ghost of Warren. This is messed up, he having a homo erotic vision of him being gods….. So it’s all in the knife. I hate it when the marching band go rouge! Sexual tension between Spike and the Principal??? I don’t think so. These kids have gone bananas. As Buffy has had enough of his narration. Andrew has an issue with letting the truth get in the way of a good story…… This can not be good.

WHOO HOO Anya and Xander are back together, for a one night stand…… Spike and Wood get jumped and in a split second the Principal has a chance for revenge. Back to Buffy and Andrew, will Andrew be sacrificed to end this? I disagree with Buffy, Life is a story. This is really intense, tears of redemption were able to stop the seal from going crazy. Back to the fight and it seems that the tears had been enough to stop the craziness.

“Confessions of a teenage moron!” as he confesses his crime as the story ends….. “WE ARE A GODS…..”
