Upon many failed attempts to find dollhouse episodes online, I ended up watching season 3, episode 5 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I can’t say that it was the most interesting show, but it was actually not as bad as I thought it would be. The episode is about Buffy and one of her classmates who are competing against each other for Homecoming Queen, meanwhile some vampires, Germans, and weird people are all hired to kill Buffy and her friend during what they called “Slayerfest”. This was a very interesting concept, and I don’t quite understand why anything was happening. Some important vampire hired various creatures/people to try and kill Buffy and her friend, but it was never clear who these people were and why they wanted Buffy dead. I don’t know who Buffy is and why she has beef with a bunch of vampires, and also why these vampires are so easy to kill. There were Germans with grenade launchers, a funky looking yellow dude, and some vampires, all whom were armed with guns or other weapons. A high school girl in heals took down all of them no problem, but once you get passed the fact that it is quite ridiculous, it is somewhat entertaining. I think the acting could be better, or maybe they just all play characters that have awkward personalities, who knows? This is supposed to be a sci-fi show, but it seemed like any other high school show with an added fight scene at the end. I will most likely try to find another show for my primary source, I don’t know if I could write much more than this about that show.
I agree with the flaws that you pointed out about the show, but you have to remember that it was made 11 years ago. I still don't know if that can completely make it okay, but it is something to think about.
ReplyDeleteYeah, i guess my standards for a good tv show are too high for a show that was shot that long ago, I sometimes forget how far we have come in such a short amount of time.
