6ABB07
Sunnydale is alive with the sound of music as a mysterious force causes everyone in town to burst into full musical numbers, revealing their innermost secrets as they do. Add in the fact that some townsfolk dance so much that they simply burst into flame, and it becomes clear that the Gang must stop this musical menace.
Read Full Recap » (warning: possible spoilers!)Still remains one of the best television show episodes ever. There are better musicals, some people have different favorite BTVS episodes, but for original music, dance, and choreography it's fantastic. hide show
This really showed the range of talents from the cast, songwriters, and an amazing on-screen performance by all. I love Marti's part getting the ticket, and Michelle T shows some classical dance training her ballet number, more depth than Dawn usually gets to show in Season 6. I will never look at Bunnies quite the same after Anya's number. The duet with Anya/Zander was fantastic, they played off each other's strengths and weaknesses really well which just made it work. Just a GREAT episode, I still listen to the Soundtrack when I want something to put a smile on my face :)
Why do people cream themselves over anything with music in it? hide show
Not that it really deserves a 1... there is no way this episode is on par with "Hush". It does not even begin in the same category. Blah blah blah blah blah, I need to fill up 100 words. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blahblah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
As Sunnydale is inundated with Demons and other things everyone breaks into song. Willow has been practicing some spells and along with other goings on things are on edge. Just in time for some song and dance. We also hear Buffy's shocking confession! hide show
Not the first show to use this idea and it won't be the last. My gosh, these days whole shows use this idea. Before those shows though this is probably the best example of a show put to music ever done. Each of the performers carries themselves well and the music is entertaining and moves the story forward.
One of the underlying themes recently within the show was the return of Buffy from a supposed Hell and within the songs of this episode we finally get the confession that Willow and the gang pulled her from a paradise that was heaven back into the battle for her life. Therefore proving the act as partially selfish on their part.
We also see Spike and Buffy more and more solidify their relationship. One thinks that maybe it has more to do with the fact that she has nothing to lose than Spike himself, but it is an interesting situation.
Very entertaining musical numbers and Anya's Demon fear of bunnies makes for some funny moments. Overall a well written musical with superb acting, singing, and production. A joy to watch over and over again. Thanks for reading...
One of the best episodes of any TV show ever. hide show
This episode was perfect, it was really well put together. I loved the original music, and it was on par with such great performances as Chicago. Quite possibly the best episode of Buffy, and definitely one of the best episodes of television. The production values were really too high for a TV show. I have no idea why TV.com insists on reviews being at least 100 words long. I have said what I wanted to say about this episode. It was a great episode and I highly recommend watching it. I'm sure you'll enjoy it if you give it a chance.
This episode is one of my favourites. The songs are amazing and even though it is in a musical style it still fits perfectly!!! hide show
When i first saw it i did not change the channel i was glued to the TV. I brought the DVD of Buffy and i like to watch it sometimes.
This is a fantastic episode and i recomend it to anyone.
What interested me is the story in it. Buffy finally telling her friends about she was happy where she was and at the end which a great surprise Buffy and Spike kiss!!!!!
I would like to thank Joss Whendon for making this episode and Buffy overall!!!! its a shame its now over!!! I wish that there will be more.
xxxxxxx xxx x (i done to finih the word count :) )
