don’t know if this has been talked about, but its a fun contrast that in season 2 Buffy says to Angel that kissing him makes her want to die (not something i’d personally want to hear from someone I want to kiss btw) but during season 6 she kisses and fucks around with Spike in order to feel more alive…

My S6 BTVS rewrite

I know this season has a lot of haters but I actually love season 6, I don't mind the depressing parts (meaning: most of the season) because I think it all makes sense for where the characters are at, and I think that after fighting a literal God having a season where the villain is Life really works storytelling-wise.

Having said that, though, I think that a lot of things could have been handled better and since all I have are correct opinions I'm gonna tell you what those are.

1. Willow's magic addiction

Basically I think they went too far when the magic became drugs in the most basic sense, when they start acting like she's "taking a hit" every time she uses it.

I think all of the important plot points could have been kept while making willow's addiction to magic about her need to be in control of everything (and everyone). Up to Tabula Rasa I wouldn't change anything, her use of magic is wrong because she starts using it to bend the world at her will, empowered by having successfully brought Buffy back to life.

After Tara leaves her she starts using even more magic while being reckless with it, she injures Dawn and she commits to stop using it because she realizes it wasn't healthy for her or for the people she loves.

I would eliminate Rack and his stupid crack house hide out, and everything that has to do with the physical withdrawal of going "cold turkey".

I think this also makes Willow responsible for her actions, while making magic = literal heroin absolves her of the blame, in the end. The fallout of having to deal with her dependence of it would also be way more compelling.

2. Spike's attempted r4pe

I would keep their toxic relationship and everything that led up to that god-awful bathroom scene, my only change is that I would make it so Spike is trying to turn her instead.

Hear me out. It would make a lot of narrative sense because all through the season he's trying to convince her she's a dark being just like him, he wants them to be equals because he doesn't think himself worthy of her so he's trying to lower her to his level. So, after Buffy rejects him again he's not thinking clearly and, in his desperation, tries the only thing he swore himself he wouldn't do since he loves Buffy because of her goodness.

After it happens, Buffy feels betrayed, Spike leaves and decides to try to get to her level, to truly change himself instead of trying to change her.

This is a minor thing too but in this rewrite after Spike leaves we don't know where he went and we don't see him again until the start of s7 when he already has his soul. I know this couldn't be done because of James Marsters' contract but in my dream s6 we don't know what happened to him so when we see him again everything about his sudden disappearence and current mental state is a mystery and we find out along with Buffy.

3. Xander dies instead of Tara

Ok maybe this one is based on my dislike of Xander and my love of Tara but I think this would work really well:

Willow and Tara haven't gotten together yet, Willow is working on her more controlling tendencies and they're just friends right now. When Warren shows up Buffy is in the garden with Dawn and Xander went up to Willow's room to talk to her, so both Buffy and Xander get shot, Dawn takes Buffy to the hospital and dark Willow is born after she's not able to revive Xander.

After that things are mostly the same, only this time we get a grieving Buffy trying to deal with the sudden loss of both of her best friends. She's devastated and a part of her says that yes, Warren deserves to die.

After everything happens and Willow is close to destroying the world, Tara is the one who shows up, she appeals to Willow's humanity and, through her love and compassion, saves the world.

Ok but how come we don't talk about the traumatizing implications of Buffy coming back to life, and one of the first things she sees is herself being torn apart.

Why the hate for buffy s6? Its gotta be one of the best written and ambitious seasons of the show

What really drew me to this show in the first place was how campy and fun and goofy it was. Like I LOVED season 1 and most people only like that season for nostalgia. But season 6 was lacking in the silly goose department. And despite those reasons, what I truly don’t like about season 6 is it made me dislike many main characters like Willow, Xander, Anya, Giles, and even Dawn in some parts. I love Buffy so much and her character means so much to me and I hated seeing her in pain and her loved ones barely helping and just making things worse. This might be a flawed take… but in my opinion, Buffy is perfect. I love her so much and for her to receive so much crap in one season really hurt my heart. I also HATED the main villain of the season being a bunch of incels. It was gross watching them.

I am very much on Tara's side here, because Willow is going way overboard with magic now, and she so fucked up this episode, especially after promising Tara she's not gonna use magic for a week...

but now I'm so sad about the break up 😭😭💔 I hope this doesn't mean we'll get less of Tara now 😳 (and I am hoping they'll get back together, obvi - don't tell me if they will tho haha)

though as tv break-ups go, this one is kinda great because it's not over nothing, this has been building up for a long time and it was executed well, but it still sucks and I did shed a tear lol

Am I just automatically an apologist if season 6 is my comfort season? (Up to Older and Far Away)

I have real world shame and I need some people

I feel like liking Spike (paging problematic man Theodore Geisel) is something I can’t talk about because

Holy hornets nest

I was happy. Wherever I... was... I was happy. At peace. I knew that everyone I cared about was all right. I knew it. Time... didn't mean anything... nothing had form... but I was still me, you know? And I was warm... and I was loved... and I was finished. Complete. I don't understand about theology or dimensions, or... any of it, really... but I think I was in heaven. And now I'm not. I was torn out of there. Pulled out... by my friends. Everything here is... hard, and bright, and violent. Everything I feel, everything I touch... this is Hell. Just getting through the next moment, and the one after that... knowing what I've lost...

Re-watching Smashed, and I'm just wondering about how conscious the regular Bronze patrons are of the weird shit that happens there. Like, do they remember Willow and Amy's shenanigans? What were they thinking when it was happening? Aw, only in Sunnydale amr?

Okay, so I don't know if anyone else has payed much attention to this moment but there is a scene in early season six after Spoke amd Buffy had sex for the first time and Spike says something completely unhinged along the lines of: "you can't act all high and mighty with me anymore, slayer. I know where you live. I've tasted it", right? And so, before I had tumblr I spent a lot of time on pinterest and I came across a post that was screenshots of that scene. Now, in the comments someone had written something along the lines of: "tasted where she lives? So he licked her house?". And. For some reason. This was the funniest goddamn thing I had ever read. So, without further ado, the reason for this post:
