And I know I should stick around for the characters, but I may need to see some more of them before I can start to truly care about them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-83835385703614438362012-06-03T18:36:46.199-06:002012-06-03T18:36:46.199-06:00Just a heads up...Xander gets annoying.

Last Thurs. we ended up watching around 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time. I know this Thurs. there is an Armchair BEA Twitter Party that evening, so I will want to avoid that time for sure. Anyway, maybe I'll send out an email and get a feel for what you all want to do...Sueyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926501219758538615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-70881416847986711652012-06-03T14:32:41.419-06:002012-06-03T14:32:41.419-06:00Are you planning to watch on Thursday next week as...Are you planning to watch on Thursday next week as well? And if so, in what time zone?<br /><br />Here are my first thoughts:<br /><br />- If I had come to Buffy without knowing all about the Whedon love around, I probably wouldn't bother with the next episodes either, but like you I'm really looking forward to the moment when I do fall for them.<br /><br />- It's interesting that as we enter the story, Buffy already knows she's the Slayer. I would have expected to see her turn into one (an upcoming flash-back episode?).<br /><br />- I laughed several times throughout the episodes (1st: "You forgot your... stake.") and yes, the dialogues are the best part.<br /><br />- I love the 90s feel, but the way Buffy's clothes make-up and hair look so matron-ly distracts me. And Angle's shinny jacket! It also gets to me that vampire's teeth are never bloody, even after they suck it - too R-rated for the show?<br /><br />- I'm intrigued by the implication that Buffy still has a lot to learn (i.e. being able to spot a vampires through other means apart from fashion, relying on the help of others, etc) and that she led a very different life before she became a Slayer. She says "I used to be really good at this" when choosing an outfit to go to the Bronze. I think she used to be a bit of a Cordelia, actually. Maybe that's why she was so attracted to Willow?Alex (The Sleepless Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03083761152675156469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-8713583107544109002012-06-03T05:44:56.350-06:002012-06-03T05:44:56.350-06:00Yes, the show hasn't grown on me yet, either, ...Yes, the show hasn't grown on me yet, either, but hopefully I can keep it up.

I think the entirety of the show once he comes on. So, I'm sure they have to get better.Jenni Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403700912436098391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-14298890210399434592012-06-02T14:37:04.366-06:002012-06-02T14:37:04.366-06:00Hang in there.
