1.12 - Prophecy Girl

A prophecy is revealed that Buffy will face the Master...and die.


Great finale to this first season. Jenny Calendar is back, Giles is ready to go risk his life for his slayer, and Cordelia has now seen so much that she's pretty much got no choice but to be included in the action.

As season finales go, there are two kinds of them. One kind gives you a cliff hanger and a whoa moment that makes you want to come back for more, and you can't stand the fact that there's a whole summer before new episodes air. The other type wraps things up nicely and your heroes walk off into the sunset. This second option is what we are presented with here. I wonder if the show didn't know if they'd be back or not?

Either way, it's very satisfying.

I give this episode a 7/10

This was good.
I'm a little confused by the Master/Buffy stuff, where she dies and comes back to life, but I'm sure it will be explained.
Fun action, and I'm stoked to see more. My favorite part was where, Buffy, now back to life, with Zander and Angle are ready to kick ass and the theme music comes on as they walk on the damp wet grass in the night towards some serious kickassery.

What confused you about the Master/Buffy stuff? The prophecy said she would die, and she did. Just for a second.
