Jump the shark
The person who wrote this article says, that it had been better if Buffy would have ended after season 5. Read more! |
Being among the first to watch good television programs has its drawbacks. Sometimes you see signs of these shows being past their prime just as the masses jump on the bandwagon.
I can't imagine how frustrated early fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer must have been when, at the last minute, the network told Joss Whedon, "Okay, why don't you do a sixth season of this thing?"
You see, Whedon and his writing team, knowing that the series was coming to an end at the close of season five, had decided to kill off their heroine with a dramatic flourish.
In bringing Buffy back from the dead, Whedon and his writers jumped the shark.
That's not to say there wasn't the occasional flash of brilliance from the team, but overall, Buffy should have ended at with season five, with the Slayer making the ultimate sacrifice. That was, after all, what the show was all about.
