cornerofmadnessBuffyverse Day 2005!!!
Post about why you love the Buffyverse... what drew you in... what keeps you in it... Talk about your favorite episode, your favorite character, your favorite pairing, your favorite whatever. Write a story, make an icon or two, post an essay... Just show your flist why you love the Buffyverse!
Since I won't be here we'll pretend that my chapter of Built on Lies last night was for this. I won't have time to talk about much. Sigh. I started watching to see if it would be as idiotic as the movie and to be honest at first I wasn't impressed. I liked Giles and Willow and not much else. If not for S 2 with Angelus, Spike and Dru who I adored I would never have watched at all. Lack of time back then stopped me from going to S3 and I was shocked a year later to hear there was a spinoff since Angel had died. I still didn't watch. Finally Evil Little Dog got me watching thankfully FX & TNT started rerunning them and I got to see it all while starting fresh with S5 Buffy and S2 Angel.
I liked that there was a young girl with the power instead of her being a squealing sidekick (though that empowerment was eroded in later years). I liked the banter and the real life problems that were examined. For the most part I liked the characters and the imagination shown.
And since I need to catch a plane I'll wrap it up fast.

Date: 2005-05-14 11:04 pm (UTC)I think we pretty much agree on the earlier seasons (though I did like B/A and hell I liked Riley too. Riley bashing turned me off reading any B/A shippy story unless ELD read it first and told me it was safe)
I still think either the Angelus/Spike/Dru or the Mayor where the best villians on either show. I can't say which I liked better
