In which Buffy loses all her powers as a vampire slayer but retains the most potent weapons known to man: her awesome rockin tits.
It’s a pretty common genre trope for super heroes to have an adventure where they lose their powers and have to solve crisis using only their natural wits and mortal abilities. Usually this event is accompanied by a large, angsty amount of sole searching. So that’s what this episode is. Buffy loses her powers and STILL is able to vanquish the dickhead vampire holding Buffy’s hot mom hostage. The only variation of these well worn theme is the person responsible for the depowering is not the villain, but pedophile Giles. Hey, what the fuck, man?
Apparently it’s all part of the National Society of Pedophilic Watcher’s master plan to shove every slayer in coffin with a vampire without her powers and if she survives, she gets to stay a slayer. That makes no fucking sense. If she was doing fine as a slayer before, why wait until they’re 18 to try and kill them? You wouldn’t waste all those years of training, you’d see if they could handle their shit BEFORE you assign them a creepy pedophile gaurdian.
But whatever, it happens, and it was kind of interesting. And I have a massive hangover and dont feel like doing much typing so it looks like we’re all shit out of luck.
