I watched four (read: FOUR!) episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I was previously underwhelmed by Season 1, and I’ve had Michelle’s copy of Season 2 since forever, but gave up on it after the dreadful episode Inca Mummy Girl (think Black Market or Woman King in High School). But anyone who’s anyone loves Buffy, and I’ve always felt left out, so I’m giving it another shot. After Babylon 5 won me over, I was inspired to give Buffy another whirl. I just need to get over the hump. That’s why I’m immersing myself into Buffy fastly and furiously until I love it, and I have faith that I will love it. In fact, the four episodes I watched last night were pretty good, so I’m happy to keep going. Some words of encouragement from my lovely readers about all the awesomeness I have in store for me might be helpful though.
Sounds like a pretty good Wednesday to me. I was planning on watching Top Chef last night, but I started watching Dexter with my hubby instead. I totally missed Top Chef, but now I’m hooked on Dexter.
Craig, maybe this will get you excited:

Boy I have lots of youtube to watch when I get home.
Craig, that should answer my question what you watch on Thursday’s at 8 pm now that Survivor is on hiatus?
Ohgosh, the morning I forget to check your blog and you post on Buffy!
For me, Buffy didnt get good till Season 3. Season one was somewhat painful. S2 was okay. Season three and beyond won me over. I just love the dialogue and cultural references used inthe show. I’m a Joss enthusiast so I dont any bad to say about the man.
I’m loving Drusilla.
I looooove Buffy. I liked it best Season 4 (the college/non college years [Double Meat Palace]).
Didn’t watch Angel until Spike was on. Yay James Marsters.
Wonder what Joss Whedon would have done with the Wonder Woman movie…
BTVS was a pretty good show. It had it’s low points, but it also had some very high points. The writing was very clever and I believe the casting was on point. I know you’re only in Season 2, but please tell me when you watch the episode called Silent in Season 4 and that entire last half of the season. Oh and Willow was always my favorite esp when she gets crazy, but you’ll have to wait for that as well!
All of Buffy was enjoyable, but it’s all about Season 3 (Faith) and Season 5 (Glory). Perk of season 4: Most of it is Buffy sexing it up with Riley, who’s just mantastic.
I watched another 2 episodes last night. I’m getting pretty into it! Maybe if I have a marathon I can finish Season 2 this weekend.
I never liked Riley and I hated Angel. I’ve tried watching the Angel series but its SO SLOW.
Was it season 3 that Xander comes out in a speedo? After that he just ballooned. :}
Yay! Basically my favorite show ever. I’m so glad you’re watching. Season 1 was kinda boring but 2 was good and then it all goes uphill. The musical episode (“Once More With Feeling”) is my favorite episode, followed very closely by “The Body.” Look out for those two!
