 Willow and Xander are the Master’s favourite vampire lackeys in The Wish. This shows that they would be more powerful (yet evil) without Buffy, but both live in the Slayer’s shadow in real-life. Conversely, we see how Buffy could have been without the support of her friends. She is hardened and cynical like Faith. |

A world without Buffy! No!

I do love the way this episode creates all these potential alternatives…
Willow and Xander are fabulously naughty as their vamp selves, and Buffy is really hard and gritty.
The only part I can’t bear to watch is when the Master snaps Buffy’s neck :o( hate that scene :o(

I hate that moment too. I love this character so much (as we all do) that it’s just terrible to watch anything bad happen to her. However, you’re certainly right about how great the episode is. It’s got to be one of the best of the series.

Yep, gotta be.
You’re right, I hate to see anything bad happen to Buffy, especially when she’s always worked so hard to help everybody else… poor thing.
Now, if a certain Captain Cardboard’s neck happened to get snapped by accident I can’t say I’d be too gutted ;o)

You’re very subtle, Miss Kitty. I like how you just slipped that one in there.

Where are Darla and Luke? If Buffy wasn’t there to stop the Harvest wouldn’t they still be his top vamps? It was so imperitive that Buffy stop the Master from rising because he would become the undead Henry Ford?

Yea you’re right, Luke and Darla deffinately would have still been there. Also, this is one interpritation of what Buffy would be like without her friends, another version of this idea is seen in “Normal again”, where Buffy is a complete wreck and in a mental assylum without her firneds :)

Luke and Darla may have been killed along the way or something, and anyway, it is more interesting and fun to see Willow and Xander in these roles than it would be to see Luke and Darla.
Also, I much prefer the idea from this episode to that of ‘Normal Again’ as far as showing how Buffy is without her friends (of course, there’s nothing about that episode that I like, but still…).
