Monday 15 November 2004, by Anonymous : Strong Season? satisfying wrap-up? What the hell are they smoking? The season was and is considered the worst season of the entire show! The First’s big plan was a new thing each week, Buffy would gladly lead as many people to their deaths as she could as long as Spike didnt get a papercut. Who would want a season that said it very clear that unless you could have slayer power or be an undead demon that you were a waste of skin? The only good about season seven was Xander’s talk to Dawn when she thought she was a maybe Slayer. Other then that the DVDs would only be used for skeet shooting. Tuesday 16 November 2004, by Thurisaz : The First’s plan may have been complicated, but it wasn’t altered every week. After viewing the season a couple of times, it’s fairly easy to follow. No one should complain about anything having no lack of scope and thickly layered, and then totally miss the times when it’s dropped on them. As for Buffy’s superiority - that was the god damn point, people! It was part of why the Shadow Men gave only one girl at a time her Slayer powers, so that she can be alone, and therefore make a better warrior. Look at Kendra and the way she looked down on Buffy’s lifestyle. To the Watcher’s conservative ways, she was the perfect Slayer (no wonder she didn’t last long). Slayers were made to be alone, which is why Buffy felt superior, because no one else understood the specific burden on her shoulders. Now, after she made all the Potentials into Slayers, she has no excuse. She’s just one in a group of girls. Unlike she and her predecessors, they don’t have to be alone. She’s shared her powers, and that is the most selfless thing she could do. Why this is overlooked instead of given backbone to her attitude earlier makes me wonder how closely my fellow fans are actually paying attention. It’s about power and the responsibility that comes along with it. Buffy (as well as Willow) finally realized this, and it was this entrance into adulthood that made it the perfect end to the series.
