The Season 1 finale "Prophecy Girl" is Buffy the Vampire Slayer's first truly great hour of television, and it changed the show forever.
The Big Picture Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a TV show that's up there with the greatest of all time, but you wouldn't exactly know it from watching much of its first season. The show is an acclaimed fusion of just about every genre there is, being broadly definable as a "drama," but also offering plenty by way of action, romance, comedy, horror, and fantasy throughout its seven seasons, totaling nearly 150 episodes.
Release Date March 10, 1997 Cast Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan, Nicholas Brendon, Michelle Trachtenberg, Emma Caulfield, James Marsters Main Genre Action Seasons 7 Creator Joss Whedon "Prophecy Girl" Concludes Season 1 of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' With a Bang With just 12 episodes and what looks to be a fairly low budget, Season 1 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is hardly representative of the show at its best.
It's heartbreaking stuff, as is the aforementioned scene where Buffy tries to fight the idea of destiny, breaking down in the library after overhearing Giles and Angel. Sarah Michelle Gellar had been good in the earlier episodes of Buffy, but "Prophecy Girl" is the first episode that truly let her demonstrate what a great actress she is, with her telling Giles, "I'm 16 years old. I don't wanna die.
