Buffy the Vampire Layer (oops forgot the 's')

[Kitty]

I have been re-watching the series because... well it's awesome and I  make no apologies for thinking so... 

BUT

I have come to realise that I am so very very stupid. And dense.

I had a lightbulb moment and now it seems so BLINDINGLY obvious that I don't know how I never saw it before!

Episode 14 of series 5: "Crush" (which, btw- swoon!)

Discussion of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame by Tara:

"No, see, it can't, it can't end like that, 'cause all of Quasimodo's actions were selfishly motivated. He had no moral compass, no understanding of right, everything he did he did out of love for a woman who'd never be able to love him back. Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy."

It's a quote about Spike! I feel like beating myself over the head with how bloody obvious it is to me now!

I was never a big fan of Spike. Much more interesting as a villain than he was as one of the good guys. 

Love Buffy overall, though. One of my all time favorite tv series.

Don't feel dumb Kitty, for all the times i've watched the series and have seen that episode, I've never made the connection. Joss Whedon is good about putting in those little moments that you go back years later and both blow your mind and make you feel incredibly dense. X.X 

But yes, i love Buffy. I'm so sad they took it off netflix.

Love the Buffster. Sarah Michelle Gellar used to grace the wall of my darkroom. I have them on DVD, apart from season four, which has the episode Hush, one of my all time faves.

[Kitty]

Yes, I think series 4 was my favourite too, but that's partly due to Riley, I think it's quite rare to be a Riley fan, but I am.

Some of my favourite episodes are Witch, Killed by Death, School Hard, Halloween, Lie to Me, Band Candy, Lovers Walk, Something Blue, Hush, Pangs.

I wasn't a fan of Dawn, although she did a really good job acting the part. I just didn't feel it worked to just shove her in a new character all of a sudden. And I never really liked Faith much either, was too much of a Kendra fan.

[Songmistress]

How could anyone be a fan of Faith? She was the most annoying character Joss Whedon ever invented. I'm certain he only did it to torture me. Fucking 5 by 5 shit.  

I'm a Dru fan.  Because, well, at my worst, I AM her.

LOVE you for hating Faith! She annoyed me no end! I can't say I was a *fan* of Dru, but the actress did an amazing job playing her.
