Yep, that's right. I watched Buffy.
Between the vid I watched yesterday and the great Buffy fic I read today (spoilers for the end of the series, as if anyone hasn't seen it yet), my Buffy love reawakened. (is that a word? sounds weird)
So I sat down and watched the very first episode, and oh my god!
How young they all were!
Cordelia! " Don't you have an elsewhere to be?"
Heh.
And Giles! *does the Giles appreciation dance*
So very excited about his books and his slayer, babbling and yet clearly no match for Buffy. I bet he expected something else when they made him her watcher.
Btw, has Giles ever met Methos during his work with ancient texts? I bet Methos would have seduced him in a dusty library, because Methos is a slut and that tweed just screams to be taken off. *g*
I miss Giles. The one reliable thing in the mess that their lives will turn out to be. It is all so innocent back in season 1. Happy vampire slaying, hanging out at the Bronze, thinking about hair and make-up and cool outfits.
When did their life become such a tragedy?
Buffy turned from a teenage comedy into an angsty drama somewhere along the line, and I can't even tell you when it happened. I blame Dawn. No wait, I blame college. Or let's blame Angel, because he had to become all soulless and evil, nailing puppies to doors and other unpleasant stuff. Besides, he can take some extra blame, it's not as if he isn't brooding anyway.
Apropos Angel: how sexy was he back then? No wonder she couldn't resist, even if she was determined to "really not like him". We saw how well that worked, dear Buffy.
Wasn't it cute how he tried to be all mysterious and unapproachable? In hindsight, that really didn't work out. Especially the unapproachable bit.
Heh, now I'm getting all excited waiting for their frst kiss. Must watch more Buffy. :-)
When I watched this ep I realized that all I ever wanted for Buffy was happiness. Sounds cheesy, I know, but I have never hurt so much for a person like I did for Buffy - and her life went so wrong. No wonder I was so addicted to that series a few years ago: I was always waiting for things to become better, and it never happened.
(of course it would have been boring if they did, but that's another story.)
had they known back then how meeting Buffy would change their lives, would they have done things differently? I don't think so, and I'm not sure if that should make me happy or sad. Loss of innocence, in the truest sense of the word.
Darla was terrible in that ep, but then I never liked her much. I was always a Drusilla girl. Should I ever buy a Doberman, I'd call her Drusilla. *g*
But seeing the master was fun. I had almost forgotten about him, but he is hilarious, and very gay.
Great show. I feel all nostalgic now. But between catching up with Farscape, watching Oz and my Highlander addiction that is still going strong, I doubt I'll have time to watch more Buffy. We'll see.
