 In the SFX Year End Collector’s Edition, Marti Noxon said of the episode Wrecked: “Some criticism kicked in here that we were being too literal about Willow’s addiction and comparing it to alcoholism. It is in fact sort of literal in the sense we’re trying to set up that she doesn’t have any control; she’s really fucked. We also knew that this wasn’t the end of the storyline. Even though people were, like, ‘This isn’t satisfying, it’s just so Touched by A Marti.’ It was frustration because people were reacting like that and we wanted to say, ‘You don’t understand, it hasn’t even begun.’” |

The problem with this metaphor is that the writers hit the viewer over the head with the drug addiction stuff instead of making it more subtile, as they could have done. That’s just one opinion, anyway.

It’s true, this is the most blatant metaphor on Buffy, but it doesn’t mean it’s any less relevant.
And can I just say that I love when Marti cusses? Especially on the “Wild at Heart” commentary. If you haven’t heard it, you should all go do it. Sooo funny.
