I got out my Buffy set and dusted it off in anticipation of Mark Watches starting it on Monday! I'm actually going to try watching it along with him (unlike everything else where I get impatient and finish the series way before he does).
Is it weird that I'm scared that he won't love Buffy as much as we do? (That's crazy talk! He thinks everything is the BEST THING EVER!)
He'll find S1 kind of slow at first. But he'll dig all the funny and ship Xander and Willow early. Then Prophecy Girl will kick his ass. Then S2 will blow him away. Then he'll go nuts for Oz and fall in love with Giles. Passion will destroy him. He'll enjoy S4 but get totally lost in the season arc and it won't make any sense to him. (Because it doesn't make sense.)
Mark Watches has the Buffy theme banner up. First review today. He usually starts posting around 1 PM PT.

Ha, we broke the site. This will be fun.
I got in for a while, then I got sucked in the Firefly reviews, and tossed out a few minutes ago.
Heh. It will be fun to watch him watch this.

I read the Buffy but then wandered off to read Sherlock.
My favorite part of hiss Buffy review was asking if Angel is a slayer. Because I was already spoiled I think when i saw that but it is fun to see someone just not know yet.
Well this is going to be fun. I've already been enjoying the person going through Buffy and Angel on the Onion AV club (thanks, Hec, for pointing that out back when), but Mark seems to be going in even less aware of anything that's going to happen.
