| I agree with you about Willow and Dawn, also the whole Angel thing. Joss Whedon is a rare creature, one of the few Powers That Be who know when to end a storyline. After all, how long are Buffy and Angel supposed to yearn helplessly for each other? After a while it just gets silly, you want to slap the characters and say "get a life willya, there's plenty of people out there, stop wasting your time mooning over someone you can't have". (I'm thinking of a certain couple on a particular show starring RDA.)
I think the problems with the Riley-Initiative story arc is that science and fantasy simple don't blend well. It wasn't the actors fault. Demons don't belong in a lab. Also, I don't think SMG and the guy who played Riley have any chemistry, not like the sizzling heat between SMG and JM. |
