Wow - if I didn't already have them all, I'd buy it.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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 am tempted, because the boxes to mine are in pretty rough shape. But, I need other things more.
I was stuck without netflix, cable, or company for most of this long weekend, and I have watched all of Buffy Season Two, except becoming 1 and 2. I am in a Buffy coma. Season Two is not historically one of my favorites, I came into the show late (season Five), was very much a Spike girl, I thought Angel was a big doofus. But I have to say, wow! That season packed a lot of punch, and had a lot going on, in a good way. I am not sure why they couldn't have dealt with all the people in Season Six that well. For goodness sake, there is Buffy, Angel , Willow, Xander, Cordelia, Giles, Jenny, Oz, Angel/Angelus, Spike, Drusilla, Ethan, Kendra, and Joyce, all to balance, along with all of the MOTW's-- and I felt like everything was well done (except the accents-- they continued to be horrible)

I'm also a big Spike fan, but I still think that Season 2 is the most perfect season of television created. there have been other great story lines or individual episodes, but S2, especially from Surprise to Becoming 2 always grabs me every single time.

Season 2 is definitely my favorite as well. I love it so much. I think I watch Becoming I & II every 3 months or so.
I should note: not a Spike fan. Never warmed up to him.

See, I am a little ashamed, but normally, I sort of like Season Four the best, at least based on rewatches. Mostly I rewatch Pangs, Something Blue, Hush, Restless and Intervention (Season Five). But watching Season two this time made me a little sad that I couldn't have seen it without knowing almost everything that happened, cause that could have been some major HSQ!

I've been trying to rewatch Buffy, but I got to the first episode of Season Two, and Buffy puts on her "My life is very difficult" face, and all I could think was "Oh, suck it up, already." I still love the characters and the stories, but I think I've gotten too old to appreciate the trauma of high school.

Season 1 is still my sentimental favorite, though I think the big mid-to-late Season 2 arc is probably technically the best run of episodes.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Wallybee and I are about halfway through Season 2 now. I haven't given her any hint of what's to come from Surprise/Innocence onwards.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Wallybee and I are about halfway through Season 2 now. I haven't given her any hint of what's to come from Surprise/Innocence onwards.
You may catch up to The Boy and I; we're in S3, maybe 4 episodes in. We've met Faith, and nekkid!Angel has fallen from the sky.
Since the first episodes I showed The Boy were The Wish and Dopplegangland, he knew that Angel would be back after the end of S2, but I still didn't spoil him for all the pain of Surprise/Innocence and the rest of S2.
Well, okay, it's possible I prefaced every episode with, "Get ready for BIG PAIN!" But that's all.
