But if I had to choose only one TV series to watch in my life, before the Powers that Be folded time, my last words before the clocks turned back would be, "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer."
Amen.
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

I can't even.
Episodes that still light my fire
Yep. Note the earlyness of most of that list, key for me too.

Ditto. I'd like to have this board to talk about it, and watch-n-post, etc. The Bronze added so much to my already extreme enjoyment of the show.

What is even happening?
Yep. Note the earlyness of most of that list, key for me too.
See, my list wouldn't have tapered until we got to season 7. And even then, I haven't rewatched that in total, so I don't know how I'd feel now. Fandom had such an effect on my opinions, and feelings about the show--arcs, episodes, seasons. And when I say fandom, I mean the good (here, and the old Bronze), the bad (fandom craziness), and the ugly ('it was just attempted sex'), that I don't know if I would have appreciated half of what I love, or have been bothered by half of what made me pull my hair out, if I'd watched this, without the internets.

Hey. New board.
Cindy made me tear up.
We should arrange Buffy watch-and-posts. Many many of us have the DVDs, I'm sure.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I was thinking of suggesting (but then I started moving and got distracted) watching the episodes in order again together (maybe one per week) and talking about them. I didn't join until Season 5, so I missed 4 seasons of Buffista-talk.
But a watch-n-post of select episodes would be fun, too.

Hey. New board.
Except as Cindy sorta pointed out: pretty much every episode would have somebody rooting for it. The whole thing would be more fun.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Another unpopular opinion: LOVED Voyager.
Gloomcookie is now making me weep.
Cindy, OTOH, is making me all misty in a good way.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I hated Deep Space Nine with a passion.
t joins ChiKat in weeping
Serious though. Different strokes, etc. And season 1 of DS9 *was* lightweight, and I really disliked Kira until I saw "Duet". Avery Brooks initially had some vocal mannerisms that occasionally rubbed me the wrong way, but the wonderful work he did later more than made up for it. But once the Dominion War started and the arc started kicking into the high gear? Yowza.
I miss Buffy for more than just as a show. Even though I dabbled in the whole fandom thing with The X-Files, Buffy is where I first made real online friendships and started participating in fandom as a communal activity.

You know, I really liked some of the Voyager characters (Janeway, Chocotay (sp??), B'lanna, Tom), but the stories were never compelling to me. It's like they started with some decent ideas for characters and didn't do anything with them.
