Bloggy! It's Friday! Hulu's first season of Buffy expired on September 30, so I had to start off with season two today. I was a little lost with what was going on with all of the different characters, but eventually the underlying theme of killing vampires came back. Buffy comes back after being gone all summer, with no killing of anyone. Apparently, Buffy killed of the Master at the end of last season, and she was very disturbed about this. This whole episode was based around Buffy’s attitude and how she was treating everyone. Buffy is not really herself anymore. She ignores her friends, is rude to all of her peers and also to her parents. In this episode, the vampires in Sunnydale are trying to bring back the Master back to life. In last season (which I missed), the Master had somehow killed Buffy for a few minutes. The Master coming back to life obviously upsets Buffy, but she is much more upset than in previous episodes. It takes her until she finally crushes his bones with a sledge hammer to mentally be back to herself again. If Buffy never really got closure with the Master’s bones, would she have stayed like that forever? Would she have lost all of her friends since she had acted so rudely to them? I guess this is related to people in reality who suffer from depression. Many people will lose their friends because they don’t act like themselves anymore, and are no longer enjoyable to be around. Luckily, Buffy’s friends really are true to her and acted like nothing was wrong in the end. They must be pretty good friends to ignore how they were treated. See you later Bloggy.
Since this show is always trying to show a deeper meaning, I think it was trying to show that only the best and true friends stick around when times get tough and that's how you know who your true friends are.
ReplyDeleteI was also extremely lost when i had to start watching the second season of Buffy. I also liked the part at the end when her friends actied like nothing happened even though she was being rude to them. I find it interesting that u think that smashing the bones gave her closure. That makes sense to me.
