i'll bet you weren't expecting this: another quiz! yes, if i was a buffy bad girl i would be faith.
i've been reading a lot of reviews of this buffy season (6?) and i'm surprised to find how many people dislike it. personally, i really like the fact that the show recognizes that the bad guys are not always supernatural. hell is other people. sometimes good people do bad things; sometimes bad people do good things. i think the people who don't like this season are people who have never hit rock bottom, or people who have never had to trade sex for self-esteem.
what i haven't seen yet is verification of my suspicion that the mysogynist tendencies this season are deliberate, as a way to demonstrate how horrible we humans are to each other (and, especially, women). am i just reading stuff into this? i admit i was slow to notice (and i missed the episode w/ warren's xgf). but between warren & spike's conspicuous use of the word "bitch," warren's whole sex-slave/anti-gf/anti-slayer bent along with his eventual emasculation (orbs? please.), spike's near-rape scene & subsequent classic-psycho-bf reaction, xander leaving anya at the altar, the destruction of the happy lesbian couple, willow's "power" speech... well, i think the show is making a point, at least.
