“Buffy The Vampire Slayer” went waaaay off the deep
end this week – seemed like one of those episodes that were
taken from the “yeah, well maybe if we can’t think of
anything else” drawing board. Sure, it was cute, but to wait
all those weeks for a new ep and…well, I’ll tell you
what happened.
Remember that sorta nerdy guy, Jonathan, who went to Sunnydale
High with the Scooby Gang? He was the one who gave Buffy an umbrella
at the prom, then he went nuts and shot at everyone from the bell
tower. Well, Jonathan is now the king of sting. He invented the
Internet. He starred in “The Matrix”. And he’s
very, very good at killing vampires. Better, in fact, than the
Slayer herself.
She doesn’t know quite what to do about a nest
of vamps. Luckily, Jonathan comes up with a plan and saves the
day. Buffy really isn’t herself at all--no quips, no brain
farts, nothing. She can’t even think of a decent retort for
snotty old Spike. Plus, she has Riley on the brain. Buffy can’t
get over the fact that he slept with Faith (granted, Faith was
sort of hiding out in Buffy’s body, but still). Jonathan
encourages Buffy to find the strength to continue the romance.
Xander’s romance is still going strong with Anya.
And Willow is still clutching Tara’s hand on a regular basis.
Good lord, can those two just make out already? Is that so much
to ask?
Willow really has to come to Tara’s aid when she
is attacked by a very funky scary monster who has a strange pyramid
symbol on his head. The gang consults Jonathan about this monster;
but Jonathan doesn’t think anyone has to worry about anything.
Little does the Gang know that Jonathan has that same pyramid
symbol on his back.
Through her Jonathan-adoring haze, Buffy begins to
wonder if he has cast some sort of spell on all of Sunnydale.
A little research and ta-da--an answer is found. Because Jonathan
has reinvented himself as the Ultimate Dream, he has inadvertently
created a monster who is the Ultimate Nightmare.
Jonathan knows he has to do the right thing, so he
and Buffy go and fight fight fight. Buffy tosses the monster into
a deep abyss and saves Jonathan from falling with him. Now Jonathan’s
a dork again, and the Slayer is back in business.
Cute, cheesy. This episode barely advanced the overall
“Buffy” plot--there was one scene with that military
mega-monster, Adam, but he just growled about death, dying, killing,
blah blah blah. I want some action! Some sex! I want a main character
to suffer horribly. (May I nominate Anya? I’m over her.)
Let’s consider this “Buffy” an entertaining hiccup,
and hold our breath for the next new episode.
