I loved Buffy while the show was running, but I have zero desire to see it again, ever. . .

Funny that.

And yes, I too was a paid-up member of the Willow Rosenberg fan club.
 
what is so great about Buffy though...she got minimum skills.

Oh please!

She's the Slayer, one woman chosen to stand against the darkness etc etc. Enhanced strength, endurance, quick healing of injuries, exceptionally talented sword play (check the spoiler code pic from her battle with Angel at the end of S2 in the 'Becoming' ep)...

You'll be saying Faith was a wimp next...

Yeah, her skills are limited to being such a good fighter that she defeated every opponent, no matter how strong or clever or numbered in their thousands, and being pretty intelligent (definitely witty), and dedicated, and a very good friend and sister. It's not much, I'll give you.

Like Xena as much as you want, but she would lose to Buffy in a fight. Then they'd probably have great make-up sex where they took it in turns to dominate each other. I bet there are about a million fanfics with that very plot.
 
Big lol

what is it? Film/episode or what?

An award nominated episode of Buffy that was almost entirely silent. No dialogue. Gave me the shivers for ages. These varian vampires steal your voice and then kill you (heart cut out iirc). It's like those nightmares when you try to scream and nothing comes out:(

Yeah, yeah, fanboy. so what's the story with her and angel...i never fucking got that. Basically, Buffy just annoyed the crap out of me cos she was just...i dont know, there was never a handle there for me to emphasize and be swept away by her...maybe it was just the lacking in charisma thing. Or skill. Or both. She just always seemed a bit lame. Off in her own world fighting things that no one knew why or even cared for. :confused:
 
Slayer falls in love with vampire who has been cursed with a human soul so it feels guilt. She shags said vampire, vampire loses soul, goes apeshit killing everyone, Slayer kills vampire and send it to hell.

Vampire returns from hell with newly minted soul, and it all gets a bit complicated, so Vamp fucks off to LA for his own series.

BUffy then gets into some serious S&M with other vampire.

ok, let's not get carried away, here! :eek:
 
Also Buffy had epic rough sex with Spike.

Yeah, i saw the spike episode...that annoyed me too...one minute im watching and they're sworn enemies...albeit some pretty strong sexual energy seeping through the battles and hate n whatever, next minute, Spike is somekind of gimp running around after her! That just totally bites!
 
It doesn't change instantly from one to the other. It's part of the character development over the course of a couple of seasons.

There were about fifty Spike episodes. His character developed brilliantly well - it was totally believable that

he'd team up with Buffy rather than let Angel destroy the world, both because he wasn't that evil (for a vampire - he still killed lots of people) and because he was quite sensible in some ways: kill all the people and you kill all his sources of food. :D

Bites, heh.
 
To be fair the whole spike/buffy dynamic was kinda lame.

Also those vampire stalker tac team bastards who are in college. Fucking shit that was. AND the big bad monster/scientist person was blates a rip off of resident evil.

Oh and that tara(?) lesbian girl willow was seeing, she can fuck off and all.

And you still watched at least four seasons of it?

Anyway - if someone doesn't like Buffy, then they are clearly delusional but to be pitied. However, if someone actually thinks that Charmed is better than Buffy then their opinion on anything is not to be trusted.
 
Man I felt like punching myself in the face everytime I spotted a buffy reference when spike turned up in Torchwood. The curse of geekery.
 
I liked bits of it. I just had my problems with it as well.

I liked the hot blonde evil girl who was trying to kill dawn(and i liked dawn) faith was cool, xander made me laugh from time to time. There were lots of good bits but the bad bits were really bad.

Whenever darla turned up was a good thing and whatever the other blood relative of angel was.

Oh oz turning into a warewolf was fucking shite and all. Like really shit.
