Buffy - the episodes I did not like Poll...

[shadowkat]

This was the result of post about Spiral...a lot of people said they loved Spiral, when I remember a lot of people hating it. So here's a poll of Buffy episodes you liked or hated.
You tell me. No fighting folks. This is all highly subjective. Plus, I'm under stress. If you annoy me, I have claws. But friendly banter and discussion is encouraged.

[Poll #1846742]

PS: IF your answer isn't there, just hit ambivalent or comment. It's impossible to figure out all the possible answers when you do polls. Thanks for taking it!

I think I'm the only person who likes Where the Wild Things Are. I will admit that it's not the best episode, but there's a lot about it I really enjoy, particularly the thorns. The episode first came out when I was doing a term paper on fairy tales for a children's literature course, and I found the "Sleeping Beauty" visuals very striking. Given that Bruno Bettelheim interpreted Aurora pricking her finger as being symbolic of her first menstrual cycle and the sleep as being the transition between her childhood and sexual awakening, I always thought the episode worked as a more adult spin on the fairy tale. A flawed one, yes, but I think it has some things to offer that some of the other lesser episodes didn't.

If you ignore the Riley/Buffy sexathon and the cliche old lady who hates sex from a bad 1970s tv movie...it's not a bad episode.

Just ignore the A plot line and focus on everything else.
