RookieMag lists the Rodarte Guide to BtVS. "Joss Whedon’s Buffy is one of the most powerful female characters ever developed. She was asked to save the world in every episode. She lost her mother, her life (a few times), and those nearest to her. She was almost always selfless, and always fast with a quip. She was always the person to root for. Here’s a list of our favorite episodes from the show’s seven-season run. If you’ve never watched Buffy, these are a good starting point. If you’re already a fan, what do you need us for? Except as an excuse to look at some pictures from some of the best BtVS eps ever.

io9 includes Anya in their "10 Most Undignified Deaths in Science Fiction and Fantasy". "Says Vie, "It took me a good three-four watches for me to properly realise she was killed... Why do that Joss!?" She gets randomly slashed in half from behind by a Bringer, and then her body is never even recovered from the wreckage of the school. Her death literally feels like a throwaway in the show's final episode".

What’s more, the BtVS film, starring Kristy Swanson, hit screens in 1992, five years earlier...This calls for some partying, don’t you think? And also, perhaps inevitably, a rewatch".

joans_journal asks for comments on Season Nine, Issue No. Five 's developments.

SFX.Co.UK includes Drusilla and Vampire Willow in their "Top Sci Fi Fantasy Goths". "Although Drusilla was introduced to the Buffyverse as a punkish Nancy to Spike’s Sid, her initial heroine chic look isn’t as memorable as some of her flashback appearances to olden days. Back then she favoured the full-on Anne Rice-vampire look. In either period she often spoke in quotes from a teen goth’s attempts at poetry: “Do you love my insides, the parts you can’t see?”...Vampire Willow, who only appeared in two episodes – season three’s “The Wish” and “Doppelgangland” – was the result of Anya creating an alternate universe where Buffy had never come to Sunnydale. Considering vampire Willow is a sexually aggressive, tight-leather-wearing, bisexual, thrusting-bosomed bloodsucker, it could just as easily have been Anya granting the wishes of a large section of the audience".
