Marti Noxon said about the episode 6.13 Dead Things:
“It got so dark and so intense, and even darker still when Buffy beats the hell out of Spike. Some people had a real hard time with that, and I understand where they’re coming from. We just went to a real dark place, and I think this where people started to feel, ‘Okay, like the episode, like the show, but what is going on?’ I wouldn’t say that we were floundering at all, but at that point in the relationship we didn’t know where it was going. All we had was her raw emotion and that’s what got expressed. It was just complete confusion and the fact that she started to take her pain out on him and he would take it.”

That’s why this is such a great episode. It’s so very dark and disturbing, moreso than probably any other episode. And it’s so raw and emotional, and it was exactly what needed to happen. This is evidence that Marti Noxon did NOT ruin season six.

Yeah but it was by the far the worst season in the Buffy Verse.

I loved season 6! Season 7 was one I didn’t even bother to write on my calendar as I didn’t care if I missed it :P

Back to this ep being so intense and disturbing… I love it and season 6 because no matter how dark the whole thing got it was still very true to life in the way the characters dealt with growing up. Each of them stumbled in their own way and the emotion was not just raw, it it eerily close to the way people behave in real life. If you got ripped out of heaven, you would go a little bonkers too!
But anyway, question about the ep… the whole dream sequence Buffy has with Katrina and Spike turning into each other and her killing them/having sex with them IS VERY disturbing. I like it, but wondered if anyone had any comments/ideas on what it represents.
