awww, isn't it cute, Willow and Bambi having a moment... wait, what... no, Willow, NO, put the KNIFE away, ARGH!
Resurrection plots in TV shows are easy to get wrong in a way that they cheapen the emotional impact of a character's death and the surrounding drama. btvs s6 appears to be one of those examples where resurrection is actually done very well, because it extolls an appropriately high price from the characters.
As much as I love Dark!Willow, her actions undoubtedly will come back to haunt her by impacting her relationship with Tara and her friends, as it should. Buffy's shell-shocked state when she's dragged back into this mortal life of struggle and suffering is another example of smg's range as an actress. And she also does an amazing job as Buffybot. :(
I will mourn you, Buffybot. It's been days since I've watched Bargaining, but I still haven't gotten over your destruction. :(
Overall, s6 is off to a powerful and promising start. <3

Also, I forgot to update my season rankings after having finished s5. Here we go, so far it's:
s5 > s3 > s2 > s4 > s1
