Comments: In her first season as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sarah Michelle Gellar slayed, quipped and romanced her way into television history. The show and the role were uncharted territory on television, but Sarah was able traverse the cliches of the genre and make Buffy a genuine original that became an icon of female empowerment. Vulnerable, funny, and sexy, yet able to kick butt at the drop of a dime, "Prophecy Girl" was the episode that showed all the sides to Buffy and solidified the audience's love for this new breed of hero. |
