BEST BTVS book ever. You should read it if you have not yet been enlightened.

I havn't started reading it though. I bet it has spoilers. I mean, I have seen alot of the series, but I'm watching it all the way through for the first time, and I dropped it a while back, so I havn't seen anything from the last two seasons.  Spoilers?!

Well, right now I'm actually nearing the end of the fourth season. However, I've seen a decent amount of the fifth season, including "The Body." |

Ahh! S4 is the only one I do not have.
 Running out of money and all now that I'm job-less, I left S4 for last.. it's my least favorite considering Riley's there and some of the arcs I don't really like. The thing is S4 has so many memorable episodes.  But anywho, "The Body," is one of my favorite episodes.

Awww. I love Season 4. So many of us (back when it was originally on the air) gave Riley such a hard time. But honestly, it was (in retrospect) nice seeing the Buffster in a somewhat realistic and healthy relationship for a while. That and Riley as "the Cowboy" in Restless was hysterical, although the Cheeseman stole that episode for sure.
The Body - Lordie Lord. That one just gives me the chills everytime I see it. Dammit Nate, friggin finish the series so we can all discuss more. *snaps fingers* You're holding up the process man! Oh... I love this art by the way. Then again, I have the Sunnydale Yearbook.

Sarah Michelle Gellar can not emote. It's final.

You are an awful human being.  Then again, that's why she really hasn't done too much outside this genre. Harr. And pfft you still have three more seasons to go! You really need to get crackin'.

^ Riley hater
My least favorite was Owen, the Pansy. (yeah yeah, he lasted *a* episode, but still). Oh and who was that guy she was with for a while during season 3 (the one who gave her the similar ring Angel gave her?) Ooooo Angel/Buffy Tai Chi =

Hahahaha Owen.
Ew but I don't really count them as her boyfriends. The one in S3 you're thinking of is Scott Hope. What a jerk.  I only really count three guys as her actual boyfriends, but I don't want to really mention the third considering Nate hasn't even gotten to S5. There was also that asswipe in S4 - I can't remember his name. Owen was really goofy looking.

UGH Parker. Can't STAND that guy. I love it in "Beer Bad" when he hits on Willow.
(Althought my favorite moment in "Beer Bad" is when Buffy beats her chest and Giles moves back suddenly. I'm thinking I need to watch S4 again now.  )

Haha so many people hated that episode. I found it enjoyable.
 Buffy and alcohol don't go well together. Blargh. That makes me want to watch S4, but I don't have it. *Cries*

S6 is my second favorite BTVS season. Tabula Rasa. Life Serial. Once More, With Feeling.
That makes me want to go watch it now.

ahh!! Buffy!!
My Aunt bought me all 7 seasons in this big set and I had a Buffy marathon with my sister last christmas break. My relationship with that show is interesting. Because I dislike Buffy as a character. I really do. She was okay in the first few seasons, then after season 4, I just couldn't stand her. Everyone else is okay. Spike is my favorite character. Even in Season 2 when he was all Big Bad and everything. He's always been my favorite. Now... I've got to finish season 4 & 5 of Angel... I'll find time for it someday. |
