Crazy Credits

During seasons 6 and 7, the ones that took place on the UPN network, the
final shot of the opening credits shows Sarah Michelle Gellar, as in all
the previous seasons. The difference is that rather than those images being
that of Buffy, they were of facsimiles of the Buffy character. For the
majority of Season 6 the final image of the opening credits was of the
Buffy Bot shortly before Glory ripped its head off and Season 7's image was
of the First Evil, pretending to be Buffy while manipulating Spike. For
some fans this plays to the idea that Buffy was somehow not the same after
having been resurrected at the beginning of Season 6 through the end of the
series run. See more »
