poignant Buffy review

Lee and I just watched the entire Buffy the Vampire Slayer series. We started in September, so it took us about 6 months to watch 145 episodes, which is a bit much of tv. And I love tv.
Anyway, throughout the seasons I had love affairs with three different characters.

Xander. Always Xander.


Spike.


Giles.

(Interestingly, Anthony Head also appears in “Little Britain,” which is a ridiculous and hilarious sketch comedy show.)

I never had an interest in Buffy before, but my friend Lee (not my husband Lee) owned all the seasons and raved about it. Since she likes awesome things like Freaks and Geeks and LOST, I took her word on it and was pleasantly surprised. I think I liked Buffy so much because there was an over-arching story throughout the entire series. So, in conclusion, I totally recommend it. But only if you're seriously going to watch all of it. Which is a commitment, for sure. But um, I really like tv. So it wasn't too hard.

That's funny, Elizabeth, because that's how I watched Buffy, too. Well, I made fun of it and everyone who liked it for years. Then I started watching it, and it took me like five months, but I watched ALL of it. I am in love with Giles, Gellar, and Spike. But not Xander. I didn't like Xander. Oh, and Anya. Anya was the best character ever. Anyhow. I'm glad you watched Buffy. It's my one true television love, that show.

Unsurprisingly, I am ALL ABOUT Anthony Head in a variety of ways.

I can't remember the name of the guy who plays Spike off the top of my head at the moment, but I think he did an episode of 'Torchwood' on the BBC.

Don't watch, though. 'Torchwood' is the shittiest sci-fi show ever.

I watch Buffy for the puns :).
