Buffy Episode
Another surprisingly interesting episode of Buffy. In the episode Buffy was flashing back and forth from Sunnydale and a mental hospital. She does not know which one is reality, and honestly I had no clue either. I think that is what was so interesting to me during this episode, like Buffy herself, I was completely unsure of what was actually reality, and I think that helped me connect with the character. Not being a frequent Buffy viewer I did not know what these flashbacks could be planted in, but I found myself hoping that she could hold on to the apparent reality of the mental hospital. I thought, who would want to live in a world of vampires. But then it hit me, who would want to awake in a mental hospital and be told they had been mentally in a different state for many years either. At the end of the episode, Buffy decides to stay in Sunnydale. Her doing this still did not answer, which world was actually real. I don't know if I am missing something, but after I watched this episode I still had a lot of questions about what was really going on in the show.

I agree with you, after watching I still had a few questions about the show. What helped me was just googling Buffy and reading up on some of the prior episodes. Maybe that will help you.
ReplyDeleteWhen you compare the thoughts of who would want to live in a world full of vampires or rather being in a mental hospital, I would have to say that both of those are not what I would prefer. I think having vampires would be neat, but then again, I am refering to twilight where everything is so lovey dovey and exciting. This was a very different episode from the other Buffy episodes. It made us think and analyze what was going on.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I could not tell which one was real. Her being in a mental hospital made sense of everything. I see how she got confused which was real because I did.
