Like I said just upthread to falafel, Sarah is about the only natural brunette who I think looks good as a blond (but I've never gotten the big deal about blond hair generally). But not the pale washed-out shade in The Crazy ones as you mention.
Looking at the darker blonde in season 1 and then the really bleached blonde for season 2, there was no way to expect us to buy that Buffy had always had that golden-blonde hair colour that she had in season 5
The hair color is bad enough (almost too golden blond, like silk embroidery floss.) but the facial structure of the girl in TwoTW is all wrong - her face is very square (Sarah's is quite round) and that's just for starters. Her forehead seems a bit squat, the top of her head flat, the nose wrong. And she's in very very bright light so there's no fudging the fact that in no way could that girl have ever been Buffy(Sarah).
But I saw the entire series in three weeks, so the memory of Killed by Death was pretty fresh; I wondered why they went for such a completely different looking little girl. Did they think no one would notice?
