Every episode of BuffytheVampireSlayer, ranked
episode, but it’s something worse: completely forgettable. One and done.Another episode where the whole doesn’t quite equal the sum of its parts. On the one hand, it sets off arguably the most emotional arc of the series, as it introduces us to Joyce’s tumor. Not only that, it also highlights both Riley’s vampire kink and his lack of anylove
him. “Shadow” also moves the needle on Glory, thanks to Tara—who’s gaining in confidence and thus usefulness—and introduces us to Spike’s latest incarnation as a knickers thief. So why, with all that, do I still hate this episode? Oh, right: big, dumb snake monster. Again. What is it with the Buffy writers and snakes? Pretty much the entire second half of the episode is Buffy chasing a transmogrified snake. Yawn.
I love it when Oz gets off the sidelines for more than comic relief and Seth Green does a great job portraying one of the most tragic characters in the Slayerverse, but man, this one has way too much jammed into it. If they’d simply shifted Angel’s return to the end of “Beauty and the Beasts” instead of “Faith, Hope & Trick,” this would be a perfectly serviceable MoTW/Oz-centered episode about domestic violence. Cramming Angel into it was unnecessary and muddied the waters.
I’ve spent enough time pillorying Riley, so now I’ll do the same with Adam who, let’s face it, was terrible. Sure, he was better than The Anointed One, but an angry Min Pin would be better than that pipsqueak. With hindsight, this one should probably be ranked lower, but when it aired, we didn’t yet know that Adam was one of the series’ worst villains. This was his first full episode, and if you’re going to introduce a Big Bad, I guess having him kill a little kid is the way to do it.
