@@Girl4MusicI understand she can be annoying but most younger siblings are and she has her moments. Plus Michelle perfectly plays the bratty younger sister And I like that she isn’t perfect and doesn’t always make the right decisions cuz it’s very common for teenagers to be like that, whether they intend to or not. But it’s not all her character is, her relationship with Buffy is always sweet even when they have their disagreements and arguments

"She never once thinks about *me* in all of this." And Dawn was pretty much doomed from this moment. The barrier breaking down gave Ben some of Glory's selfishness, and in hindsight, it was already starting to show before he betrayed Dawn.
@Katerine459
@Katerine459 2 года назад
You raise a good point; it's quite possible that some of Glory's selfishness was bleeding into Ben, just like Ben's conscience was bleeding into Glory. However, I'm hesitant to say it was all Glory's selfishness. Ben's character for the entire season was just... he's a regular guy. Not a bad guy, but not a hero either. He's been selfish before, just in the normal human way (angry at having to "clean up Glory's messes," etc.)

@Talisguy
@Talisguy 2 года назад
@@Katerine459 I'm not saying he was a saint before, just that I think this was likely a factor in his decision. In fact, I'd say that summoning the Queller was the moment where he fully cemented himself as an asshole, not turning on Dawn. In a weird way it's almost worse than betraying Dawn and dooming the entire world, because Ben has three key excuses there: Glory was bleeding into him and affecting his judgement, he was facing imminent death and the average human is generally very bad at conceptualising threats like the end of the world (if we weren't, we would have abandoned fossil fuel consumption decades ago.) Basically, "I will die if I don't give up this girl" is a threat humans are capable of comprehending, but "if I do give up this girl, *everyone* will die" won't seem quite real to most people. The decision might have gone another way if it was "your life or the lives of everyone in Sunnydale," because he might have been better equipped to process those stakes mentally. But summoning the Queller was basically him deciding that it would be nobler to horribly kill dementia patients than to let them live. He's a nurse. He should be able to conceptualise why that's a fucked up thing to do to very sick people, to say nothing of all the families and friends they left behind. Glory wasn't influencing him that time. His life wasn't on the line. I don't think he even knew that Glory's victims could potentially identify the Key. You could maybe accept his actions from a pragmatic perspective if he was doing it to prevent any of them from letting Glory know where the Key was and dooming all of reality, but it's never confirmed that he's aware of this.

I mean, they may not like him, but it's a good thing the scoobies kept Spike around as an honorary member of their team, or else they'd be totally screwed and invite Ben over to help again 🤣 I always found it interesting that in one of her dreams, Buffy sees herself as dressed in all black with a ponytail, at the moment she goes to "kill" Dawn. Which is eerily similar to how Faith saw her in her dream when Buffy was "killing" Faith: dressed in black and dark grey, with a ponytail, and an emotionless look on her face. It's almost like Buffy fears she has become the cold-blooded killer Faith always said she was.

The Weight Of The World is a brilliant penultimate episode to the stunning Finale which I believe is the best episode of the whole show. Buffy being in a catatonic state allows Willow to enter her mind and bring her back from traumatic stress for the final battle. The news from Giles is another body blow for Buffy that the only way to stop Glory is for Dawn to die as she is The Key. The writers do a great job here showing the pain and stress of depression which Buffy is now acutely feeling. You can feel the tension now building in every way, get ready for episode 100, which has a incredible intro sequence, an utterly brilliant, but heart breaking finale.

I'm convinced the reason to have Buffy's father in this episode (besides them thinking this was gonna be the end of the show) is to make clear that him not being there for Joyce's death is not about the actor not being able to appear. He's just not a good father (or he died in Spain and nobody knows).

The actor that plays Buffy's father, Dean Butler, doesn't have a lot of credits to his name, so it wasn't availability preventing him from appearing, at least in terms of acting commitments. The fact that he was willing to appear for a handful of lines once every two years or so makes me think it was a writing decision to make his character suck. He's also a very minor character, so they have their shoestring budget to contend with when considering whether or not it's worth it to pay him for a glorified cameo at the funeral, or to use that money to pay for the entire Whirlwind in Fool For Love.
@Girl4Music

Remember that Whedon had a shitty father and Buffy is partly his self-insert character. Giving her a shitty father is him getting out his repressed anger and trauma at his own father. Makes sense why he makes her suffer so much. Not because he wants her to suffer but because this is suffering he feels. Buffy is a fictional manifestation for Whedon’s pain. SPOILERS: ‘The Gift’ pretty much confirms this interpretation. Buffy finds the loophole to the great predicament they are all in. By killing herself to save the world. Going out the martyr and the hero at the same time. That’s Whedon’s fantasy. To die for something worth dying for. He is a seriously messed up man.

Also, I really wish they could have used Doc more. One of the few problems I have with this season is that because Glory is really lazy (by necessity, because if she was even remotely proactive about finding the Key before the last couple of episodes, then she would have easily murdered all the Scoobies and we wouldn't have a show) and her minions are useless, the bad guys often aren't as threatening as, say, Angelus, Spike and Dru were in season 2. She could have benefited from a proactive, competent henchman who could actually pose a threat without requiring Glory to show up in person, and Doc manages that pretty well when his true colours are revealed.

OK, I’ll admit to finding your spirals entertaining. Spare a thought for the Gen Xers who grew up watching this whole series in real time, getting attached to the characters - including everybody’s surrogate Mom Joyce - and spiraling many times over. Might explain a lot about our generation. Remembering just how metaphorical everything in BtVS is might help…or make it worse, depending on your perspective. But also - Willow’s a badass in this ep and I’ll never not appreciate that.

Posting my BUFFY REWATCH recap for ‘The Weight Of The World’. May contain spoilers. Buffy’s out of commission as she’s gone into a catatonic state. With the loss of their leader and time running out to rescue Dawn, Willow immediately takes the initiative to take command of the Gang, as she often does when Buffy is AWOL. Willow gives out orders to everyone, already having come up with a plan to save Dawn and to stop Glory in one fell swoop, showing she’s competent at leadership. At taking charge and executing a procedure while Buffy is absent. This is one of the reasons why I believe Willow to be an INTP in the Myers-Briggs 16 personality types system. INTP leaders often lead or manage out of necessity more than anything else. They will not take leadership unless they have to. And I can absolutely attest to that as I am an INTP myself. Whether Willow is one also is obviously debatable but I do believe so - not just because of this personality trait but a few other personality traits of hers too - as well as her being exceedingly academically and intuitively intelligent She observes things other characters do not and as such, has attention-to-detail where it counts. What I’ve noticed is in situations like this in the show,... as soon as Willow takes leadership, the Gang follow her lead instinctively just as they do with Buffy. But there is a HUGE difference between the two that many fans on here have pointed out. Buffy has no choice but to do it. Willow does. She chooses to do it. Thus, Willow always chooses to be the leader - but only in the absence of Buffy, And this is a very important detail to remember going into the start of Season 6 when Willow takes lead indefinitely.
