BUFFTOBER DAY 20 - “the Buffy-Bot”
“We’re very pretty!” Xx
I’m so thankful that I found the Prophecy Girls Podcast because they articulate so beautifully my feelings and it’s just so cathartic listening to them. I recorded a part of their discussion of “Intervention” about the Buffybot that I’m going to post here if anyone is interested. It’s like 6 minutes but it’s so well said and god… I’m just glad that there’s a Buffy podcast now that doesn’t shy away from the hard topics out of fear of backlash from the fandom.
Even though her original purpose was repugnant beyond belief, Buffy-bot was adorable (mostly because actual Buffy/Sarah are adorable).
Buffy-bot was definitely amusing and Sarah nailed the performance as always but yeah... her existence was incredibly gross.
Tonight on The WB
UHmm so i was complaining about how the final shot of buffy in the intro of seasons six and seven isn’t actually her, it’s buffybot (s6) and then the first evil (s7)
AND THEN my partner pointed out that it hasn’t been her since she died?? absolutely quaking
I don’t think I’ve mentioned this before, so this is mostly just a load of thoughts written down, but hey...
I know a lot of people aren’t keen on the Buffy Bot because of how it came about, and I totally get that. But part of me wishes we’d got to see a little bit more of the bot in s6. Or at least, I wish we’d got some more information about the Scoobies’ decision to bring the bot back, as well as how much they considered it would impact Willow and Dawn in particular.
Because I feel like that would have been really interesting to explore. I always get the impression that Dawn isn’t thrilled by the bot in Bargaining, and probably finds it a bit creepy as well as annoying. And it’s why the part where she goes to sleep in Buffy’s bed with the bot always gets me- because I kind of feel like she wasn’t really up for having the bot around the house all the time but when she wanted comfort she still sought it out. Like, I feel like Dawn would have preferred to power the bot down at home and only use it for patrol rather than letting it wander around the house. And that’s something that never really got touched on onscreen- we jumped straight to the bot being used for patrol without seeing how the Scoobies came to that decision and who was leading the plan.
