Buffy (no spoilers)

[mneme]

Wow. In this season (and even this week's ep) of Buffy, the characters actually -talk- to each other, make the same speculations the watcher makes, and otherwise act like intelligent beings rather than pawns in the grip of inexcricable bad writing!

I am, again, impressed at the way this season of Buffy continues to display the traits that made me actaully -want- to watch the show, rather than the pointless angst and meaningless arguments of seasons 5 and 6.


The cliffhanger I could have done without, but it was a very well done ep, and demonstratively "buffy what is buffy", rather than the "spam" of recent years.

Do we have ANY evidence that The Subterranean Snacker can directly effect the physical world?

I've been thinking a lot about that myself. My current pet theory: The Bottom Feeder can't directly affect the physical world, which is why he has to go around playing head games with people instead of just, y'know, coming up behind Willow and snapper her neck. At some point one or more of the Scoobies will realize/learn this, and Dawn will realize that her vision of Joyce couldn't have been the Feeder, and have to cope with the implications of Joyce's message about Buffy.

Further theory: The thing that Buffy will choose over Dawn is Spike. I don't see that happening now, but there's the rest of the season for groundwork-laying. Or maybe Dawn somehow becomes a minion of the Feeder (probably without meaning to).
