Love the appearance of the Drusilla jingle from Buffering :)

I read somewhere that the Ubervamp looks like the Mutant Enemy "Grr Argg" creature and now I can't unsee that. But yeah, he also resembles the Master too.

Your accent is lovely, first of all! The baby slayers on the other hand... its rough lol. You're dead on about Drusilla. It might not be a realistic accent but its a great voice and performance. Thats actually how I felt about this character with a scottish accent in Haunting of Bly Manor (You should definitely watch the Mike Flanagan Netflix shows btw). Was it a good scottish accent? No, but it was a great voice/performance so it just worked.

Firstly, ay up duck! There's nothing wrong with your accent. I'm guessing you live just up the road from me. I'm from North Derbyshire. Secondly, you don't need to worry about the finale of Buffy. I've too have seen a lot shows fall at the last hurdle, but BtVS isn't one of them. The last episode is epic.

Ooh here comes the epic music in that end speech. The score music in season 7 gives me chills - in a good way. I now want to find it!

YOUR accent is fine! (And comes across nicely on video.) Of course, yours is the real deal. I do wish they had hired a couple of English actresses for those parts, but they may not be readily available in Los Angeles. ... It's a nice uplift when Buffy declares, basically, "Screw The First, we're killing these guys." ... I can definitely appreciate your not wanting this series to end for you. I kinda don't want your reactions to it to end.

I liked it when Dak said "Can they call Angel?" and then went for her phone like she was going to make the call herself! Amused me anyway. And there's nowt wrong with your fine Northern accent Dak!

The slayer line is in jeopardy now. Killing all the potential slayers means when Faith dies nobody will be there to be the next slayer. Once there is a gap then the power is lost. It doesn't wait for the next generation to be born. When buffy died in season 6 no new slayer was called because Faith controls the line. Buffy died in 1 called Kendra. Kendra died in 2 and called Faith. Angel and company are dealing with their own big bad currently so the last thing they are thinking about is Faith. Who is still serving her time.

Shaun Houghton

Yes, they are mocking you with those accents. This is the real reason for Giles' mood. The First is but a blip, those accents though really get him both steaming and despondent.

Corey

I'm American and I found those accents appalling lol so you are totally justified in your feelings

Jon Freezin-Rain

I got another take on the Joyce dreams. The message she gives "It's too much, you can't win, Just give up" It's doesn't feel in the spirit of real Joyce.

Bart Aansorgh

Reaching the ending will be bittersweet, but what a ride it is. I think from episode 7 onwards you can really start to feel why so many ppl like this season, and to me it really solidifies here. The last time Buffy got such a slapping and the stakes felt so high was season 5 imo. I think therein lies a key part of what makes this season, and season 5 soo good. The stakes are there. It makes you feel like they're fighting a massive uphill battle. Where they really need to search for the answers and it builds throughout the season. I'm a fan :). Also, I think its very symbolic that the first agent, and the thing that is currently the big enemy to deal with is a vampire. Back to the roots. Also this Ubervamp also has a more of a visual resemblance to the master of season 1. I do like that callback. Then there's all the new slayers in waiting. They're gonna be something, and slowly an army is build. The principle still is sus, and they are building it to something. The Dawn and Anya team up against Warren in the beginning was fun. And as always, Willow never change... :)

Christopher simeon

The Ubervamp sure gave buffy a beatdown but also she was not at 100% because of lack of resting while he had just fed so was at the top of his game. This marks the beginning of buffy's arc as a general and true leader and what that means.

PaulC

Those accents are something, aren't they? Cor blimey guv'nor! Anyone else getting an LOTR vibe with the Uruk-Hai, I mean, Turok-Han? This episode would have originally aired around the same time The Two Towers came out. I've also been a little confused with the Joyce scenes in this episode. I think it's meant to be the real Joyce appearing to Buffy in her slayer dreams, but it's not very clear, especially after 7x07. Nice to see Juliet Landau again, though I kinda wish she was playing the real Dru and not the First.

Dave Ford

The two English watchers have appalling accents - but they didn't really distract me just annoyed. Juliet Landau's Dru however did seem to have a very different accent than when she used to appear in the show - that really did distract me a lot more.

Ed Green

This was the midseason finale. I'm also British and the accents really irritate me too, and many others. Even rewatching here, my first response to Annabelle 'splitting' is, 'oh good, we're about to never hear that accent again.' Not how a writer should build sympathy. Another example of a non British actor doing a good British accent is Alexis Denisof as Wesley (iirc he went to school in the UK). I love the idea of Giles setting up his own council. Would finally bring decency and competence to a rotten institution. Like the premise of a spinoff to a long running British show that was inspired by Buffy from 2005.
