So this is the part where someone tries to convince me that Buffy is a closed-off bitch who is unable to express love....and I'm just not buying it. 'kay?

Date: 2012-08-27 10:20 pm (UTC)Oh please, look away! I've been reading your metas (read the one about the Kiss in EoD/Chosen today and pretty much nodded in agreement to everything); so whenever a Buffywriter I admire comments here, it's like getting feedback from a rock star.
This episode is when Buffy becomes my Buffy.
Indeed. I don't know if I can pinpoint an exact moment as precisely; I'd need to watch S5 again in full (not that I mind that at all.) The only thing that makes me hesitate is the whole "nice guy Riley turns into an abusive jerk" storyline (what, he and Buffy couldn't have just decided it didn't work out and part as friends? I know, it's TV, and it's Joss - why go for the kill when you can go for the pain; or better yet, go for both?) But better to think of the good stuff, right? And there's so much good (and painful) stuff that season.
