7.4 - Help

Buffy tries to stop a girl's impending death.

***

Buffy is the counselor chick at the high school, and one of the students, a girl, tells her that she's going to die. Buffy investigates and does everything she can to save her. In the end, it turns out one of the kids from Home Improvement was going to summon a demon and sacrifice her. Uh huh.

So Buffy kicks the dude's butt, beats the demon, and they almost get the girl out alive, but she falls over dead. Before she does, though, she prophecizes that Buffy will make a difference.

Hmm...I think this was pretty sub standard, to be honest. I wasn't really feeling it too much, but I guess it's not BAD, per se. It's perfectly in line with the less than great version of Buffy that's been on the air since season 5 ended and Buffy moved to UPN. I still feel like this show is just going through the motions most of the time these days. They walk like the characters I love, they talk like them, but the magic just isn't there most of the time.
