whyare the vampires/demons so stupid in buffy?

Again, there’s nothing wrong with only watching one or two episodes of a series and deciding on that basis to not watch any further episodes. This is entirely different from watching two episodes and deciding that you can offer a critical analysis of the entire series. All that gives you is grounds for criticism of the two episodes you’ve seen. If you’re going to discuss the value of the whole, be familiar with the whole. If you’re only familiar with the parts, you should restrain your comments to the parts with which you’re familiar.

pepperlandgirl: I liked the idea, it was the execution that was lacking. The puppet just annoyed the hell out of me. Especially his voice. Until he started interacting with the other characters, it was a great episode. And come to think of it, as soon as he died, it became a great episode again. (“I don’t get it. Is it avaunt garde?”) But that puppet really ruined most of the episode for me.
