Today I watched the 5th episode of the second season of Buffy, and it was a pretty action-packed episode. It took on the scene of a typical college frat party. Lots of kids and lots of drinking. Cordelia convinces Buffy to go with her, since the frat boys were all over Buffy, and obviously Cordelia just wants to fit in. When Cordelia and Buffy get to the party, Cordelia immediately runs off with one of the boys. Buffy hangs out alone for a while, until one of the frat boys asks her to dance. They talk for a while about Buffy’s maturity, and he convinces her to take a break from reality and just have fun. So of course, when Buffy is offered a drink, she takes it. Not too smart of a decision on her part. Buffy and Cordelia were obviously given some drugs, and passed out on the bed. They woke up in chains and were sacrifices from the frat’s master. Buffy saves everyone in the end, and they all end up ok. I think the theme of this episode is everything that your parents tell you about a college party. No taking any open drinks, no going off alone with someone you don’t know, and don’t go anywhere by yourself. The girls failed all of these rules. Anything can happen when aren’t in control of the situation, and by taking the drinks the girls were no longer in control. This happens very often in real-life situations, and I think many kids are aware of this. Usually the kids that are taken advantage of are not put up for sacrifices, but nothing good ever comes out of it. Buffy should have paid more attention to her surroundings, and not let the boy get control of her.
If Buffy is this like awesome slayer shouldn't she of known? i thought she was like trained for stuff kind of like that? That was just pure stupidity. And i completely agree. I feel like almost everything parents told us when we were little are so true even if we don't want them to be.
