6.3 - Afterlife

Buffy copes with being brought back.


***

Not much to say, really. Something came back with Buffy, a hitch hiker of sorts. The gang beats it and there's some character moments. The big moment comes at the end when Buffy is talking to Spike, who is now the person she relates to the most. She tells him that when Willow brought her back, she wasn't in hell, but she was in heaven. She was warm, safe, and she knew everything was okay. Being brought back is like being in hell.

I want to address this, though. Why does everyone assume she was in hell? If they believe in hell, then they believe in heaven too. Buffy died saving not just her sister, but saving the whole world. Surely they'd at some point consider that maybe she'd go to heaven? It just bugs me that they assume this hero is rotting in flames.
