But Buffy doesn't kill every beast she encounters. His reciprocal affection prompts him to help her slaughter others of his kind. But after the two have sex, he turns on her, becoming her mortal foe. And then again, maybe not. Next to strange spiritualism and demonic obsession, violence is the most troubling element in Buffy .
Fight scenes are usually intense and lengthy.
On several occasions, the killings are bizarrely paranormal. Vampires are dispatched with wooden stakes, werewolves subdued with tranquilizer guns. Between the fights and murders, there's passion. Lots of it. Both heterosexual and homosexual.
