spike showing buffy the darkness vs giving her the light

I was rewatching “Bargaining” awhile back and noticed some scenes that reminded me of similar things from other episodes in season 6…

In “Bargaining” Tara and Willow are going about their regular routine, they share a kiss, go and check up on Dawn, all of that. And then in “Seeing Red” a kind of similar scene plays out. Though instead of a kiss, this time Tara is wrapped in a sheet (with a pattern kind of similar to the shirt she wore back in the first episode), and Dawn is super excited to see them. Willow is wearing a red shirt with a number on it, just like she was in the first episode scene, too. And I think Dawn is appreciating that more now. It is as if things have gone back to normal.

In “Bargaining” Dawn tries to find comfort with the Buffybot in the dark, grieving the loss of her sister. In “Villains” Dawn enters the same dark room, and stays right beside Tara, who she is now grieving. The lightning and everything is kind of similar, very blue.

“Bargaining” Giles is telling the Buffybot how he regrets not being there for Buffy. While in “Once More, With Feeling” he is singing that him being there is actually stunting her.

In “Bargaining” a vampire enters the demon bar trying to be cool but is quickly put in his place by other demons there. “Villains” Warren walks in with a similar cocky attitude. And little bonus, their hair is kind of similar.

“Bargaining” the vampire hits Buffybot with a glass bottle causing her to malfunction. “Dead Things” Warren hits Katrina, who has wore off from the effects of the damper, with a glass bottle which causes her death. I think my mind really overanalyzes episodes at this point. 💔

I mean aside from the general response to it, "Dead Things" is like a disturbing masterpiece. I'm not really into those Buffy and spike commercials in between though... [sorry, lol].

I specifically remember that the first time I watched the show and we were on 'Dead Things' I zoned out and when I'd come back, Warren was at that restaurant or something. I asked my mom, "What is going on?" and she said, "Bad things." For some reason my mind decided to go somewhere else that episode. I think I missed half of it. I don't know where my mind was but well, when I said my first time watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer was kind of a blur, I guess I wasn't joking. 😭

"Dead Things" is another one of those episodes like "Seeing Red" where I don't know where to rank it on a list with it seeming very weird or not quite right... But the acting is so good in that episode. They are killing it in that one. (...Don't think too far into that...) I mean it kind of feels like it's turned into Buffy and Order, but besides that, it is a very well done episode in my opinion.
