Day 04 - Your favorite show ever



Oh, like you even had to ask!

Yeah, I resisted it. I had seen the movie and wasn't impressed. And it was on WB. How could it possibly appeal to me?

But for those of you that don't know the tale, I had just broke up with my long-term relationship with X-Files. Very bad break-up. I mean, we still haven't spoken since (well, I saw 'I Want to Believe' but spent most of the movie LOL'ing at it's horribleness). And my friend Becky, also a former X-Phile, told me that Buffy was different - Buffy was better. I scoffed, but she managed to get her hands on VHS copies of the Season 2 Buffy/Angel arc (those VHS boxed sets were WEIRD, just random episodes from the season, huge chunks of info missing if that was all you saw!) and I believe she also managed to get a copy of 'Hush' from a friend. Whoa. I fell, and I fell HARD!

And now, Buffy is my all time favorite show. Yeah, Season 7 was rough, but in the end, both series finales (5 and 7) worked, and Joss stayed true to his mission statement to create a powerful female character (and not just a hokey Girl Power model).

And, like the Beatles, Buffy changed my life. I have made so many friends because of this show. I know I met many of you because I started posting Buffy icons around LJ.

So, yeah. Buffy and I, it's true love, it's meant to be. We've had a few fights, but in the end, it all worked out. We'll be together forever.

I saw the movie after seeing the series. I thought it was cheesy, but I thanked it for creating such a masterpiece.

Aw, I love me some Buffy. And I know what you mean about The X-Files. I never even watched the last...I don't know how much of it.

I stopped watching after the Butt-Genie episode (it's just as bad as it sounds - a midget with no legs who would hide in people's butts...). That episode was too much. I remember trying to watch the finale and being totally confused by wtf was going on (which is why I suffered through the last two seasons of LOST because I wanted to avoid that issue again).

Buffy had some problem episodes, but it never reached the level of *headdesk* that X Files did.

Yeah, watching the movie again and knowing Joss' voice more, I could hear where his script was mis-directed. He always rants about it in interviews. SO happy he got control of the TV show and gave it his trademark style.
