One of the wildest theories from Obsession:
Nikki isn't just obsessed with Bear... she IS Bear's dead cat.
Think about it:-
โข She hides in corners and watches him sleep.
โข The way she moves feels almost cat-like.
โข She waits by the door for him all day.
โข Her glowing eyes in the silhouette scene mirror a cat's eyes at night.
โข She literally brings dead things to him, just like cats bring "gifts" to their owners.
The theory says that when Bear made his wish at the One-Wish Willow "I wish he loved me more than anyone in the world" his dead cat's spirit was nearby and entered Nikki.
After all, who loved Bear more than anyone? His cat.
Rewatch the movie with that idea in mind, and Nikki starts feeling less like a person... and more like a devoted pet that became something much darker.
There is a lot of love being shown for Anthony Stewart Head right now, and it's brilliant. A father figure for a generation that we just don't see these days.
My personal favorite is a bit dark. Showing how far a father will go to protect his child.
I was crazy busy at work today but wanted to say a few words about this before the day ended. I don't normally write shit like this but this one hit hard.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer just by name alone should have been a 1 season corny 90's teen soap joke. But it ended up being a beloved show that took it's audience serious and created a lifelong fandom.
A huge part of that was because Anthony Head's Rupert Giles, a strong, caring, smart, father figure to a whole generation of young people. He was strong, caring, smart, and talented, and that's something we don't get a lot of today in modern day male characters.
