Wow, I'd forgotten how depressing season six of Buffy was. Angst angst angst everywhere. It's like the writers and produces set out to create the biggest angst-fest on the whole planet! To whit:
- Giles has the Watcher's version of an existential crises moves back to England.
- Willow and Tara break up then Willow becomes addicted to magic and nearly destroys the world after Tara is shot and killed.
- Buffy is miserable from having been yanked away from heaven and tries to fill the void by having degrading sex with Spike.
- Spike, for his part, is completely in love with Buffy and knows that she's using him for sex yet he can't stay away.
- Dawn feels like she's being ignored by all her friends and family and becomes a kleptomaniac.
- Xander gets cold feet and dumps Anya at the alter which makes her return to her vengeance demon ways.
- And then there's the whole Nerd trio thing that's alternately annoying and compelling and then down-right nasty toward the end.
It's a wonder the whole cast and crew didn't require many hours of therapy after filming that particular season. God knows I'm going to have surround myself with pictures of fluffy bunnies and cute kittens for the next little while just to exorcise all the angst.
