YMMV / Buffy The Vampire Slayer S 7 E 15 Get It Done

• Magnificent Bastard: The Shadowman is the man responsible for the creation of the Slayer. When the world was overrun with demons and vampires, the Shadowman captured a young girl, Sineya, and forced her to inherit the essence of a demon, turning her into a great warrior at the expense of her humanity. Following this, he would go on to create the organization that would become the Watchers' Council, who would continue serving the Slayer for centuries. When Buffy arrives in his time looking for help, he attempts to repeat the process on her, believing that humanity is a weakness compared to the raw power he provides. When she proves him wrong and defeats his men, the Shadowman rewards her by giving her a vision of the First Evil's army. Though she soon returns to her time period, the Shadowman's message shakes her beliefs for the first time, leaving her wondering if he might have been right after all.
• Moral Event Horizon: This was likely the episode that caused fans to turn on Kennedy to the point she was beyond redemption, and some fans hated Buffy for the rest of the series, because of what she said about Chloe.
