I&#8217;ve been trying to figure out what&#8217;s been missing for me for the show.  The reason I don&#8217;t like it as much as I did.  I&#8217;m just having a hard time putting my finger on what it is.  I don&#8217;t know that I&#8217;d go as far as to say that the show sucks now, but I just don&#8217;t enjoy it as much.  It just seems to be missing a certain subtleness that it had.<\/p>\n<p>I think back to the third and fourth seasons, where you saw a lot of what was going on, but the overall story wasn&#8217;t center stage the full season.  You&#8217;d get a taste here, a taste there, slowly pulling you deeper in.  The last two seasons of Buffy have just felt kind of abusive.  I just saw episode 18 of this season and a new character has been introduced.  The thing is, it sounds like he&#8217;s been responsible for a number of things that happened (like blowing up the Watchers).  I just feel like if it was earlier on in the show&#8217;s life we would have seen this guy before. Or at least seen a hint of him.<\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s my early morning can&#8217;t quite sleep bit of Buffy musing that will probably only make sense to me later on when I&#8217;m half asleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I&#8217;ve been watching a lot of buffy this weekend and it got me thinking about how the show has progressed these past seven years.
