4.1 - The Freshman

Buffy is having a difficult time adjusting to college life.

***

Season 4! Willow's got new short hair, Oz has a new hair color, and Xander has been working at a male strip club.

Good start to a good season. We got Whedon writing and directing, but there's no tear jerking moments here, thank you. What we do have is a vampire gang led by a chick named Sunday. We also have lots of references to the past episodes, including the Class Protector award, Mr. Pointy, and Mr. Gordo.

Good stuff.

Rating: 7/10

First let me say, that I think SMG really looks great this season (more than any other). Blonder hair? More skin color? whiter teeth/ Don't know. And this is before she goes total fashion diva like seasons 5-7. We got "Super Fun" Kathy. Concussive riley, swinging bachelor Giles and the subtle hints of the beginnings of the rifts among the characters. Buffy telling Willow "Thanks Mom" as Willow becomes less an outsider an more in her element (college). Loved Sunday, "No your fat makes you look fat". And the whole poster thing (I rocked M.C. Escher in college). poor Buff, lost in college..."I didn't mean to suck"

hmmm....what do I think. well, I guess all good things come to an end...and so it goes with high school...this college thing is weird to see. I think the roommate character is fun.

its an ok start.
