The problem with the Initiative is that it took away from the show and its main characters, the ones we’ve come to know and love, and who we want to spend time with.

There is of course a bit of a different vibe since Xander ( Nicholas Brendon) isn’t attending the school with them, and Giles ( Anthony Head) is reeling from his sudden unemployment as both librarian and Buffy’s watcher. She eventually opts to stay in town and attend UC Sunnydale, as does Willow ( Alyson Hannigan) and Oz ( Seth Green), semi-keeping the Scooby Gang together. Due to her duty as the Slayer it didn’t seem plausible she’d get to go to college, let alone go on to have a career someday. ![]() Aside from the stuff with the Mayor and Faith, another huge theme of Season 3 was Buffy’s ( Sarah Michelle Gellar) struggle of wanting a normal life and not believing she’ll ever get to have one. ![]() So following such a great season was never going to be an easy feat, especially with the addition of college being the new setting for the Scooby gang, but the show did do a good job in setting audiences up for it.
