Buffy = horrible preachy character, popping off cringe speeches in every scene
Spike = getting his soul and falling for buffy was the worst thing that ever happened to his character. awful sap
Willow = after season 6 i guess she just lost all her personality and is now quivering wreck willow
Giles = one of the most unforgivable character assassinations in the history of television
Anya = not even fun anymore
Potential slayers = every single one incredibly annoying and also featuring one of the worst british accents in the history of television
The First Evil = literally the most boring villain with no discernible personality

They really just gave up at this point, is how it feels. Or maybe they thought that in order for the tone to be serious they had to take out all the comedy?

Is that the one with the weird axe that is like the ultimate weapon?

That and Weird Preacher Nathan Fillion are the only things I remember from late Buffy, because it was like a regular ass axe with the end sharpened.

Xander is the one character who actually improved a lot over the last season or so, but I can't remember what he gets up to for the rest of this season. So far he doesn't suck though, which is nice because he was the worst for like 5 seasons straight

Fun fact. I remember getting drunk with my friends and looking up random potential slayers since like half of them ended up going on to more notable roles. I found the bad English-accent one on LinkedIn, sent a connection request and she accepted.

Serious professional social networking site.

There were so many new characters introduced in the season and the big bad was just an amourphous blob with no character.

It was the clusterfuckiest of clusterfucks. And it had that weird medallion shit with Spike that so blatantly tied in with Angel. I've never watched Angel and never felt like the Buffy series was forcing me to watch it to understand what the hell was happening, but I did in season 7.

I hate the axe, too. It's stupid.

Are any of them well known now?

The only people I can think of who went on to bigger things from buffy as far as people who were only on for an ep or a few eps are Kal Penn, Amy Adams, and Pedro Pascall. Also Sara Silvermans sister who was in Halfbaked.

7 is the last season of the tv show. They continued the show in comic book form and also released those in "seasons", so the first comic serial is called Season 8.

If this had The First Evil, it's the last season. Cause that was the name of the final villain

Those were dumb.

No, because Buffy season 1 - 3 and 5 - 6 are fucking amazing.

Season 6 haters are subhuman.

As in the overarching plot structure.

Season 8 Xander does something pretty gross and reckless.

after bitching how every GF of his always meets a horrible end after another GF Dies. He then starts to date Dawn. Like seriously dude.

though she was pretty cute as a centaur

One more thing: the entire season is shot almost entirely indoors. Shit felt confining

Yeah, the season plot sucked but it had some of the best one-offs in the series. Also, "Restless".
