Killed By Death

Hey Guys Laurel here...So this episode was another "filler" so nothing really epic happened but it was still pretty good.  It was sort or Freddy Kruger esque, except the killer was someone who only took children, and could only be seen by children who had come down with a specific sickness, a Sunnydale fever if you will.   So we don't know how but somehow Buffy got the fever (maybe because she is a young adult?) and saw him briefly in a fever dream...enough to convince her that this villain was real but not enough to fight him aside from in her fever dream state.  Anyway the gang figures out that this villain is going after kids with the fever and sucking the life out of them in order to keep himself alive.  After Buffy gets well and the gang learns more about the death villain she chooses to go back into the hospital and get the fever again (by drinking a vial of a fever sample out of the hospital fridge, how she got access to that is beyond me.)  Anyway she is about to down the whole vial, but thankfully Willow, ever the science nerd, is there to warn her that she should dilute it and only do a few drops.

Mark here.. so basically the episode is as Laurel described...  Buffy is fighting at the beginning of the episode, contracts a disease, sees demons and re-contracts herself with said disease to kill the demons.  Its not a classic episode but its sort of amusing.  We sort of kept referring to  future episode.  Suffice to say the writers and costumers were going to get way better.  Honestly, I liked this episode even though it was filler.  It's a bit cheesy Freddy Krueger B movie-esque, but whatever...

In any case, we give this episode 3 stakes...
