Sacrifice in the Buffyverse and SPN
Eric Kripke has mentioned more than once how he'd like Supernatural to be more like Buffy, at least in terms of capturing the same audience. Since I've been rewatching AtS S3 and S4 these past few weeks, the themes of sacrifice and loss have come up repeatedly, as they tend to do in the Whedonverses. The timing made me think about how differently these issues are handled in both shows. Moreover it made me wonder if part of the reason for the difference doesn't also have some bearing in how fans themselves and their reactions to the storylines are handled by the creators.
