Message: <blockquote data-quote="Staffan" data-source="post: 601989" data-attributes="member: 907">First season Buffy had 12 episodes (13 if you count the pilot as two, which I don't). In seven of those, vampires were not the primary antagonists:The Witch (baddie: Amy's mom, a witch)Teacher's Pet (baddie: substitute teacher, a mantis monster)The Pack (baddies: the pack of students possessed by the hyena spirits, as well as the animal caretaker who wanted to get them for himself)I Robot... You Jane (baddie: Moloch the cyberdemon)The Puppet Show (baddie: demon who needs body parts to stay alive)Nightmares (baddie: none really, the cause of badness is a boy who's in a coma though one could make the case that the boy's baseball coach is the baddie)Out of Mind, Out of Sight (baddie: the girl who had become invisible through being ignored)In second season, ten of the episodes focused on non-vampires (Some Assembly Required, Inca Mummy Girl, Reptile Boy, Halloween, The Dark Age, Ted, Bad Eggs, Phases, Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered, Killed by Death, I Only Have Eyes For You and Go Fish), and one could make the case that two of the three double-episodes (What's My Line and Surprise/Innocence - the third being Becoming) have at least half the action focused on non-vampires (Order of Taraka for What's My Line and the Judge in Surprise/Innocence) - again, only about 50% vampness.Granted, season 3 had *more* non-vampire episodes, but the show has been about other things than vampires from the beginning. The first episode even finishes up with Giles saying something about the veritable cornucopia of nasties attracted to the Hellmouth.</blockquote>
