Anyone feel like sharing "weirdest moment where I identified with a character on Buffy?"
Buffy "I have a cow on my head"
and the moment in Flooded, I think, where she is fighting monsters and is juggling vases and trying to get them to move into the kitchen where there were fewer breakables.
I was just thinking about this identifying thing in the car tonight. For the first 3 or maybe 4 seasons, the show did not necessarily seem, for me, to be about Buffy. She was the center of the universe, but I hardly identified with her at all-- nothing in her experence was ike mine. Season 6 for all the flaws, made me understand and feel Buffy.

Hey. New board.
Coming in late with most annoying previously:
"Let her cross over!"
SO ANNOYING.
Want previously's on DVD. Very angered by the lack of them. Bad Fox. Bad. No biscuit.
ETA: Also, loved Tara. Cried when she died. Meany.

I liked Tara. She was the only one on the show with common sense, barring her little oops in "Family."

In Season Six, she became the Giles. What I loved most about her was the way she was so kind and understanding, but never boring or self-righteous.
It'll be an Easter Egg on the S7 DVDs. Which makes perfect sense.
I just heard this from someone else today! Now I have to buy the damn S7 DVDs.

The thing that sorta bugs for me in that episode is in Act I nobody gets Tara, and by the end of Act IV they're all sticking up for her. I didn't see anything in between that would explain that. Seemed sorta asspull-y to me.

I was sad too, but how could people not see this coming? If there is anything I've learned from a ME show is that nobody (not even us viewers) get to be happy. When Tara and Willow got back together I thought, oh dear, adios Tara.
Jeez, I'm cynical.

I think it was more a guilt by association kind of thing. She was Willow's friend, so a friend of them all by default. Plus Buffy never did like a bully and that's what all of Tara's family was.

Hey. New board.
If there is anything I've learned from a ME show is that nobody (not even us viewers) get to be happy.
See, I was still new at this. I watched Season 5 first, then Seasons 6 and 1 simultaneously, so I hadn't seen the worst of "happy == death." Therefore, the death was a shock.
A very very painful shock.
In Angel, though, when Fred and Wesley got together, I knew that was a bad sign Oh man did I ever.
(not sure that needed to be white-fonted, but it is a Buffy thread, and this is pretty recent Angel gossip. Better safe than sorry.)
