Sunnydale a quiet peaceful town during the day. But when the sun goes down and the moon arises Vampires go lose (Not Twilight people, These guys are REAL vampires). If you haven't caught on I am talking about Buffy ( I hope she kills all the twilight characters. That would be awesome). For this certain review I will review the Halloween episode from the series. This episode is from season two episode six. To introduce those who don't know the show Buffy is the main character or protagonist she is a vampire slayer and is led by a watcher names Giles, also by her side is her new friend Willow and Xander, and the good Vampire Angel with the team Buffy and her friends fight off anything that crawls out of Hellmouth (the portal in which the vampires and demons get to earth)In this particular episode, Halloween has come Sunnydale and there is a new store in town. The show starts off as Buffy and Angel have started to date and for Halloween Buffy wants to dress up a 1775 noble women to impress Angel. With a new store in town it attracts many people, what they don't know is that the owner is a cultist, who changes the town into their costume leaving Buffy defenseless and clueless of who she is.
In the eyes of a expert in viewing cinema we think that T.V. is the "junk food" of the business. Having no point or lead just silly twists that want us to eat more kind of like the oils and sugar in junk food. But in my eyes Buffy is one of those rare shows that delivers. Having each episode have a metaphor or message. As we know in this episode everyone is turned into their costumes. Willow is uncomfortable with her body so she dresses like a ghost to cover every part of her body, Buffy wants to impress her new found boyfriend Angel by not being herself but coming to a conclusion that Angel likes noble women, and Xander, the boy who has a girl fights his fights and dresses up as a soldier to show he is strong. What I am coming at is the typical I hate my body. Many people wish they could be someone else but what they don't know is that people like them for who they are. You should be humble of who you are because if you don't then one day that change might come then you could regret it. By the end of the show it turns out my philosophy was correct. Angel hated the noble women and liked a hardcore fighter who slays vampires. Willow then shows off her new look then has Seth Green drool all over his zebra painted van.
In my opinion Buffy is a great show especially how they incorporate different genres (Action, Drama, Sci-Fi, Romance, and Comedy) in a T.V. Show that has a duration of 42 minutes. I really liked the episodes but some of the catch lines were cliche. Overall I think that the show deserved its 3 Emmys. But to fully experience the whole Buffy check out the Buffy Movie (1992) that had introduced Buffy before Sunnydale.
Sorry I have to go I just saw one of the twilight guys and now I have to call Buffy before the gleaming sun goes away
