Caroline's Reviews > Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Autumnal

Every time a past slayer travels through time to aid Buffy and the Scoobies, expanding on the established Buffyverse is always a thrill for me!

The first story is all about this time portal-jumping demon who is after our Slayer. Then comes Adja, who from the 11th century Buffy and the gang encounter and therefore have to figure out why this demon's targeting Buffy and the other question as to Adja's purpose as there is a language barrier which Giles is trying to decipher as to why both an 11th-century slayer and this demon ended up here in present time.

The second story starts off with some pretty unusual happenings such as maggots spilling out of Buffy’s school bag EWWWWW!! I hate bugs!! and RATS are EVERYWHERE!!

SPOILERS!!!! (ok honestly should've put this warning above, but anyways! 😊

The reason? A voodoo-like demon who can control zombies, a lovesick girl who has a vendetta against Buffy for slaying her vampire lover who wants to trade Buffy's soul for immortality.

Yeah, honey, you should quit while you're ahead lol

Oh, of course, there is Spike!

What I liked is two slayers who are separated by time, culture, and language barriers are still able to bond and share a mutual understanding and acceptance with each other as very few would personally understand what Buffy experiences as a slayer, only another Slayer would relate.

I liked the scene at the end with Buffy and Spike, can't help but see some foreshadowing or a nod to future episodes from Btvs Season 4 onwards to Spuffy's evolving relationship.
