 The Desecration:
Buffy creator and Sondheim buff Joss Whedon spruced up the show’s second-to-last season with an all-musical episode that put all of Broadway’s vampiric exertions to shame.
Lyrical Selections:
“I can bring whole cities to ruin and still have time to get a soft-shoe in.” “Somethin’s cookin’, I’m at the griddle / I bought Nero his very first fiddle.”
Subtle Visual Touches:
Fight choreography during the opening featured Buffy listlessly staking vampires through the heart while singing “Going through the motions.”
Critical Bites:
The Vancouver Sun: “Brilliant—[an] emotionally stirring exercise in razzle-dazzle, and a welcome change of tone from Buffy’s usual ghoul train of demons and hellhounds.”
Worldly Success:
The episode was nominated for an Emmy but didn’t win and didn’t stem a slow, fatal ratings slide either. But 150,000 copies of the episode’s soundtrack were sold.
