Buffy S2E15 "Phases" Review & Recap!
from Major Slayage: Ket & Arik Rewatch Buffy the Vampire Slayer · host Major Slayage
We definitely needed mild, silly, monster-of-the-week episode to recover from last week's emotional roller coaster, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2 Episode 15 "Phases" was... a mixed bag. The "good": • The exploration of the theme of duality, and the culpability of the human for the actions of the monster they become. • Willow & Oz's chemistry. The "less-so": • The ham-fisted faux-feminist "hot takes" that want to sound profound without having anything to say. • Reducing Willow to a verbal tick that gets run into the ground, dialogue-wise. • That wolf costume (yikes!) • Some of the lamest fight scenes we've had on the show so far. We'll break it all down for you on this week's Major Slayage!
