I think the description for Adam should be revised: "Emotionless in tendency and personality, Adam is originally a loyal operative of the Initiative. After being completed, Adam promptly kills Professor Walsh..." This doesn't make sense - exactly when is he loyal, if he kills his creator as soon as he is able to move?

I'm not sure this list of 'Big Bads' is accurate: aren't the Big Bads the series of people seen in episode 7-01? In which case, the Big Bads would be: The Master, Drusilla, Mayor Richard Wilkins III, Adam, Glory, Warren, The First Evil. Any other list isn't really canonical.--Firsfron 02:35, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

The only part I don't agree with on that is that Angel is more the 'Big Bad' of Season Two then Drusilla is.

Spike is also more the S2 big bad than Dru. Also, The real Big Bad of S6 is real life.

I would say Spike and Dru don't really qualify at all; they're only really there to serve as a threat until Angel comes along, after which neither Spike or Dru really give Buffy much trouble. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.17.53.21 (talk) 16:50, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Term used in Buffy

"Big bad" is not used in Buffy to refer to the "major recurring adversary". It is used in Buffy fandom to refer to such. In the show itself, it is used mainly by Spike to refer to himself, a play on "big bad wolf". Other characters use it to refer to whatever enemy they are currently facing.

The opening paragraphs certainly don't make a very good case for the phrase appearing in Buffy. The text refers to two occasions where the words 'big' and 'bad' appeared next to each other, but in neither instance was it a reference to a 'big bad' in the sense that fandom understands the phrase, where 'big' is the adjective and 'bad' is the object. "Big bad thing in the dark" doesn't fit the usage, and neither does Buffy's description of a symbol as "not a big bad". 'Big bad' is a recognisable concept, but these aren't examples of it. 99.242.7.29 (talk) 21:37, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Fancruft?

The individual season descriptions don't add anything to the article IMO. 4.245.107.157 (talk) 01:43, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
