More Buffython

Why is the chaos head thing in the shop in season six? Giles smashed Ethan's and surely he wouldn't stock another?

BTW: there was a second garlic use, pretty much the same as the first but just Buffy sat on the bed with a cross, but much sadder because she was keeping Spike away and, well, season six. Everything's gloomier in season six.

I think season 6 is one I liked a lot more in retrospect. (I think that actually applies to all the later seasons. I enjoyed doing them at a readthrough more than the earlier seasons, even though I enjoyed the earlier seasons more on first watching.) I think I liked the overall structure of the series, and many of the individual episodes, but when I first watched it, I was constantly thrown out by seeing characters make decisions that didn't seem to make sense. (Jonathon not angsting earlier about being horrible to Buffy. Willow suddenly getting so much more addicted to magic and suddenly killing people, etc.) Those all make more sense from the point of view of the larger plot, but often made me go "huh? that character just wouldn't do that" at the particular point where they happened.
