An Episode of Buffy (Not a Compliment), May 26, 2011by AmberShards (The Gothic South) Sadly, Wes Garden's Halting Nightmare demonstrates the low quality that ADRIFT games are known for. I didn't start out thinking that; I was convinced of that as the game progressed. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

On the other hand, I feel Buffy may be unfairly maligned on a few points. The early seasons, especially, drew striking parallels between the supernatural horror they faced and the pains, fear, confusion and wonder of adolescence. Xander falling for a preying mantis, the pack of hyenas, beer bad, sleeping with Angel... All lead morality plays. I thought Buffy was witty and showed children a measured view of adults ranging from Giles/Joyce/Pr. Wood to the Mayor, while also showing adults the strength and humanity of children. AmberShards, June 4, 2011 - Reply My perspective comes from someone who just doesn't care for gothic "lite". It's nothing personal. I tried to watch the show when it debuted, but I gave up due to the lack of emotions and the missed opportunities for grandeur. |
