Dark Stuff About Buffy and Seeing Red...

1. Hmmm...I knew some of this, but not all of it: Dark Secrets of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.

And.. 15 examples of behind the scenes drama from Buffy


2. I need to write a bit about this, but I am aware you may not want to read it. So behind a cut it goeth...

But first a few links:

* Buffy and Consent Issues - the Episode Seeing Red

* James Marsters Tells The Story Behind that Buffy Scene that Made You Hate Spike - The Mary Sue

* The Buffy Episode that Changed the Way we talk about television

And in another post I already, provided the Dragon Con bit where James Marsters explains how filming the episode drove him into therapy and almost made him want to commit suicide by concrete. Along with a Q&A clip where Marsters visibly shudders when another actor discusses playing a rapist. [It's about two or three posts prior to this one.]

( My difficulty with how rape is depicted in film and television and the consequences of how it is filmed. )
