Buffy the Vampire Slayer • Page 3

agreed, most rewarding viewing experience I've had. the Fool For Love/Darla double act >>>>

 

I'm watching this show for the first time in my life (????????????????????I KNOW???) and I feel like I needed this in my childhood.

 

I wish I could watch it again for the first time

 

Is Xander this stupid throughout the whole series or just these first two episodes? Also the line about not being man enough I was like oh yeah this was the 90's.

 

His personality and..... Xanderness stay pretty similar, but they tone down a lot of his worst characteristics.

Some of it is super dated for sure though, so yeah be ready for that.

 

Willow is so cute and sweet I want to protect her at all costs

 

I need to unsubscribe from this thread before I'm tempted to do a full series rewatch. I just did Angel a few months ago.

 

Buffy rules. She comes into the series having already been a slayer for ~year, is confident, sassy, doesn't really give a fuck, and strong. I'm loving how she goes hunting one night and Giles is like "after you assured me you wouldn't" and she's like "yes I lied I'm a bad person move on" lmao. Like no shits given. I feel like so many shows do the whole "she's just discovering her powers! now let's spend 2 season developing this protagonist's confidence" thing and this completely subverts that. I'm so here for it.

 

Mmmmmmm Giles.

 

Wife and i watched this for the first time last fall, thoroughly enjoyed it. Flipped a coin to see if we’d rewatch it again or rewatch twin peaks, and Buffy won.

 

Watch Angel!

 

Angel is so good, I might actually prefer it to Buffy

 

Angel rules!

 

I rewatch this episode every October.

 

Just wanted to recommend the podcast Buffering The Vampire Slayer especially if anyone is just starting a rewatch.

I could write multiple paragraphs on what that podcast means to me but I can promise that the hosts, Jenny and Kristin, did a truly amazing job covering the series over 6 years. After they finished with Buffy last year they're now doing an X-Files podcast but have promised to cover the new Buffy audio series that's starting soon.

 

They should’ve went into Angel instead of X-Files. Why does everyone ignore Angel? It’s so good

 

They had a spinoff Angel podcast called Angel On Top hosted by friends of theirs that started when they reached the episode where Angel left Sunnydale. I believe that show just posted their final episode a few weeks ago.

 

Oh sweet, I’ll have to check that out. Thanks!

 

Why is this information coming from Dolly Parton of all people

 

Her production company was involved with the series so she was a producer
