Wall Banger/Live-Action TV/Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Difference between revisions

*** Confirmed. In the pilot episode, Vamp-Jesse says his hearing is sensitive enough to hear earthworms moving in the ground. On "Angel", several times vamipres are shown to be able to clearly hear humans whispering to each other from over thirty feet away. With that kind of super-senses, sneaking up on an alerted vampire (sneaking up on a vampire who isn't paying attention at all is something else, but if a vampire's out hunting it is presumably alert to its surroundings) would logically be nigh-impossible without magic of some kind. So yes, the only viable strategy would indeed seem to be "Make the vampire come to you", and you do that by sticking parsley behind your ears and ringing a dinner bell, not by visibly being a heavily-armed vampire hunter looking for a fight.

**** Hell, isn't that why the Slayer is a young girl in the first place? She's designed to look like bait.

* Willow comforting Spike when he is unable to kill her in the episode "The Initiative". Due to the blatant sexual subtext the scene also had a heavy [[Black Comedy Rape]] element.

* Season Three: Dead Man's Party. "Yes Buffy, we are all very aware that you are just sixteen years old and had to kill your lover - the man you lost your virginity to - in order to save the world, but running away was a stupid and selfish thing for you to do, even though it was your mother who told you not to come back in the first place and we haven't even attempted to talk to you about what happened or relate to you on any level."
