The Buffy and Angel Trivia Guide // Sarah on season six

In an interview in March 2003, Entertainment Weekly asked Sarah Michelle Gellar: “You’ve mentioned how much you disliked the sixth season. Why was that? And how did you feel about Buffy’s depression, and her sexual obsession with Spike?” Her answer was:

“It wasn’t who Buffy was, or why people loved her. You don’t want to see that dark heroine; you don’t want to see her punishing herself. You want to see her killing vampires and making quips. It didn’t feel like the character that I loved.
Joss always explained that season as being about your 20s, where you’re not a kid anymore, but you don’t know what you want to do [with your life]. He always said that I didn’t understand last year because I’ve always known what I wanted to do, and I didn’t have that confusion, [that] dark, depressive period. But I think the heart of the show lies in the humor of the drama. I felt like Buffy’s spirit was missing last year.
“I had trouble with the one where Buffy had sex with Spike on the balcony [Dead Things]while watching their friends. I really thought was out of character. And I didn’t like what it stood for. That was the moment that I had the most problems with.”
