What’s on my mind today?
Not that long ago, I had a shameful geek secret: I had never watched a single episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Seven months and 144 episodes later, I am now an official convert, a worshiper at the house of Buffy. As sad as I am to be finished with the show, I have to [...]
After watching the first half of Season Seven, I have come to realize even more just how weak Season Six was. Where the previous year sort of meandered around, this season has really hit the ground running: The First is pissed off and looking to open the Hellmouth. The feeling of high tension [...]
Finally! With my busted DVD player, I had to resort to borrowing a friend’s (thanks, Jason Z!) and I was finally able to finish up the penultimate season of Buffy. I wasn’t ecstatic about the way Season Six started, but I think the show managed to end the season on a stronger note, [...]
Well wouldn’t you know it, Buffy didn’t stay dead for long. The Scoobies were trying to live life as normal as possible, having the Buffy-bot do the usual Buffy jobs, but it just wasn’t the same, and Willow decided to bring Buffy back from the beyond. It seemed almost like a given that [...]
Well, I got to that “big thing” that happens at the end of season five, and I can honestly say that I did NOT see it coming. At all. But I’ll save that for the end.
First off, I have to say that this show has handled big reveals about its characters really well [...]
Buffy’s fourth season ended with hands down the weirdest non-Sopranos dream episode ever. And how does this season begin? With Buffy doing battle with the most infamous vampire of them all, Dracula. It made for a great season premiere, skipping the usual angst of a new beginning, and keeping things pretty funny. [...]
Four seasons down, three left to go with my newest favorite show. The second half of Buffy’s fourth season continued down the same road as the first part of the year, with some downright ridiculous plot points alongside a handful of really amazing episodes. Allow me to elaborate.
Episodes like “A New Man,” “Superstar,” [...]
Buffy’s off to college! And that’s all right, seeing as how the high school was totally destroyed last season. (And apparently hasn’t been rebuilt? Are all the teenagers in town being home-schooled now?) It was a nice touch for the show to hit the ground running in a season premiere, and not [...]
Looking over my old Buffy posts, I noticed that I’ve used expressions like, “I am really enjoying this show.” But now, I can say it: I officially love Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The third season was chock full of some unbelievably amazing moments, and the second half in particular was just amazing.
Giles has long [...]
When Buffy began, it was fairly lighthearted. In Season Two, the show took some darker turns, which was a trend that I hoped would not be shied away from. So far in Season Three, I have not been disappointed. The season starts, like the season before it, with Buffy not dealing so [...]
