I didn't watch Buffy from the start either. DH started watching it and I remember mocking him. A vampire slayer in love with a vampire who has a soul. Whatever.
Fast forward to now and he mocks me that I hang with Buffistas. I repeat my whatever.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

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.

What is even happening?
It wasn't Buffistas... Sadly. It was a friend who may or may not, depending on who you listen to, have contributed to his wife's suicide by making it more of a homicide.Oh my word. That's horrible (either way).
I obviously needed better friends. I could have watched Buffy from the beginning... It would have been lovely...I needed younger friends, so I could have found it in season 1, rather than season 3.
My niece (who's 23) is a Veronica Mars fan, which is kind of cool. She's the age I was (to nearly the day) when I met Scott (which is how I'm her aunt in the first place). She was about Julia's age then.

That's horrible (either way).It pretty much was.

Good lord is this the wrong thread. Taking the conversation out of here. Away.

My boss at the time was 60 and he was the one who kept nagging at me to watch it. But, noooo, I wanted to see Mac and Harm get it on on JAG. It was an FX Buffy marathon that finally hooked me.

I have never been so grateful for having a flu as I am for the one that kept me home in front of the TV the night Buffy premiered.

I found Buffy early in the first season by channel surfing. I heard a few lines of the dialogue and I was in. It took me three years to convince my best friend to watch it. She swears she will never question my television recommendations again. The name was a hard sell. In pimping the show, I must have said "It's a metaphor" a hundred times.

If wishes were horses we'd all be eating steak.
I found Buffy late in season 2 when I moved to a brand new apartment complex that was so new that they didn't have any of the cable lines hooked up yet. I was far away from the big city and the only channel I could get over the antenna was the WB. I turned on my TV to my one channel, expecting to quickly turn it off in favor of PlayStation or a movie. WB was rerunning "Surprise" and "Innocence" to refresh viewer's minds in the lead up to the finale. Despite not knowing what the hell was going on, I was hooked. Then came the frantic search for the 24 episodes that came before "Surprise"; a very difficult task in 1999 with no iTunes or TV on DVD yet.
