Buffy Charts: The Big Bads
Last week I was grunting about the worst demons so I decided to honor Buffys and Angels most threatening villians. The Big Bads of two great TV shows. |
Glory (Buffy Season 5)
The best Big Bad ever. Not only of the adorable acting of Clare Kramer, it was all at ones: A cute woman with great strengh and a very crazy way of get to her goals. Her figure was researched a lot threw the autors. It took a whole season to know her, but after she got killed we miss her and this outstanding remarks: "Hey, wow, the Slayer's a robot. (looks around) Did everybody else know the Slayer was a robot?"
Senior Partners (Angel Season 5)
Never really visible the whole season we allways knew they are up to something and working the strings in the background. Maybe this is the thing what makes them a great Big Bad. They never run into dead ends, they allways followed a big picture.
Master (Buffy Season 1)
The first Big Bad we ever met leaved a strong impression. We started to know the way this show is gonna go with one big fight at the end. And even it was only for 12 episodes, we allways knew him in the background waiting for his time to come....
Angel, Spike and Drusilla (Buffy Season 2)
The "real" Bad Trojka! Even if this three vampires were a strange group each of them was a threat when ever he passed the way of Buffy and her friends. Ok, except of Angel when he still had his soul.
Willow (Buffy Season 6)
Ok, the real Big Bad in this season was life itself, but giving it a real face by Dark Willow was a great thing of Joss and his crew. Getting really scared by one of the Scoobies for more then one episode (like The Pack, The Wish, ...) was a new freaking cool thing.
Faith and the mayor(Buffy Season 3)
A bad Slayer together with a slightly crazy, powerfull "Becoming"-demon was a strange pair. But it worked out real well, ok, maybe not for them or the Sunnydale Highschool, but giving the viewers the feeling of a threat seemed to suit them very well.
The First (Buffy Season 7)
Mhm, I'm very splitted about this Big Bad. Sure he gave Buffy and her friends a hell of a fight (take it literally), but I wasn't really freaked out by its bahaviour. Maybe it was this "not touching" thing or his often changing weapons (Turok Han, Bringers, Calleb, Illusions of Dead People, ...), I don't know. But hey, even if he was the greatest danger of all, he didn't kill Buffy. This thing was only given to two of them: Glory and the Master.
Don't ask my opinion about other Buffy Big Bads, like Adam or Warren and his sidekicks, 'cause all I would have to say won't ve very nice.
And what about Angel? Well there weren't so much BiG Bads. Ok, there was Holtz, Cordy (I hate to refer to her as a Big Bad) and Jasmine, but when you thing about it, I see them all of parts of something and only all of them together (including Connor) are making a sense. But were did it really start did it all really end with Jasmines death?
A different question reffering to one of the greatest story arcs ever talled in television.
Feel free to tell us your opinion! This is only the way I see things and I'm aware there are millions of fans out there who have all their own one!
