- Buffy The Vampire Slayer brought new life to the undead. Making vampires the topic of conversation in the 90s. It was less Dracula and more The Lost Boys meets Degrassi.
The series gave us characters we loved in Buffy , Angel , Spike , and Willow ---
But it also killed off series favorites.
Gave us unimpressive newer replacements.
Turned good guys into big bads.
While there was a prolonged rise, there was a swift fall.
Tara's Death.
Dark Willow.
Spike " seeing red "
There were a lot of contributing factors to the downfall of the Slayer.
That's why today we're going to look back at the day Buffy died.

We all experience this show so differently. To me, things don’t start getting interesting until after high school is over.
Homie completely misunderstood literally every aspect of season 6
I hated that they made Spike a rapist.
It's been stated multiple times that characters cannot return because you cannot tamper with the laws of nature. Giles literally said this at the beginning of the season, and even Buffy’s response to returning was that of pain because she was peacefully in heaven but has now returned to hell feeling the sorrow, which connects to Angel S2, which confirms why Buffy was feeling as such.
Season 6 is my favorite season. I felt like it did an amazing job depicting depression. It helped me get through my first bout of depression when I was told I was too young to know what depression was. As someone who has had psychotic breaks and having a hard time figuring out what’s reality and what’s not I actually really loved it being depicted in the mental hospital episode. It’s easy to see it as unrealistic if you’ve never dealt with that… especially when reality is the worst option in your mind… I think these mental health struggles need to be shared and I admire BTVS for doing a concept season while still keeping overall series continuity. I love season 6 forever. I don’t think I would he alive without it to be honest.
I honestly really love season 6 because of the whole Dark!Willow plot
Every season has its flaws, and I respect that every fan has seasons they prefer. But to write off Seasons 4-7 unequivocally is so narrow-minded. Buffy's death in Season 5 is far from "breezed past." It literally takes a whole season for to get over it. Most of your criticism of Season 6 is just "It's different than the high school seasons." Shows can and should change. That's the show's greatest strength. In another world, Buffy would have stayed in high school for 7 years, with the same characters, fighting the same villains, and having the same problems. There are hundreds of shows like that - go put on a procedural or an old sitcom. If that's what you want, put on one of those. But don't box a TV show into the corner because you want it to unchanging. Truly one of the worst takes I've ever heard about this show.
I have to disagree with the read of Anya vis a vis her hookup with Spike. It didn't come off like her seeking revenge, it was two brokenhearted people commiserating over their wounds and then seeking comfort and distraction physically. Plus, Anya was single at the time. Recently dumped. By Xander. She did nothing wrong here; Xander is the schmuck in this scenario (and most scenarios, if we're being honest). He left her at the altar, blew up their relationship, and then had the nerve to act like HE was the aggrieved party, throwing a viscious verbal tantrum. I will admit that Xander is my least favorite character, but I never hated him more than I did in that moment.
I usually agree with Vee’s opinions but on this one not so much. I am a huge Buffy fan since 97’ & a lot of his takes - though insightful - seem to be taken from an outsiders point of view & not someone who understands the nuances of the show.
Season 6 was more about the real world, and the horrible mundane things we have to do every day are scarier and more damaging than what they had to face in high school or fantasy creatures they came up against before
A couple of counters:

Hey Wesley might’ve only been on Buffy for a few episodes but bringing him on for Angel created the greatest character arc I’ve seen on TV. His character out grew so many.
Spike's trademark coat cost $2,000 from a top fashion store. It was then run over repeatedly by a truck to give it that distressed look.
I agree that the potential Slayers was probably a misused plotline I really like the whole concept of Spike getting his soul back in the consequences of that for him
I absolutely loved vampire Willow in "The Wish"!
Principal Wood felt look like the Whedonverse version of Blade. So much so that the cover of Nikki Wood comic was a throwback to Blade's first appearance in Tomb of Dracula.
I kinda liked not so much season 4 as a whole but Spike explaining Yoko Ono and the Beatles to Adam. It's a memorable telling for me personally.
It's really hard to say a show "died" when they, then follow it up with one of the best seaons of the show.
That train wreck of a season 7 is purportedly better than season 6? 😂 Thanks, I needed a good laugh today.
