This probably only makes sense to Gypsy
So, the kids are asleep. Dennis is out. I have control of both the computer and the tv. AT THE SAME TIME!
What do I watch? I could watch a "not appropriate for Megan" movie. But nothing is catching my attention. I could watch one of my series on DVD. In general, I don't watch re-runs. If I've seen something, then I've seen it. I don't own many movies for this reason. (which is why Netflix is perfect for me).
But I do own Buffy & Angel & Firefly. I can never just pick an episode and watch it. I have to start with the beginning of the series and work my way through it.
I've tried picking seasons, but then I think of previous seasons and think "but I loved that part when...." So if I start Season 2 of Buffy, then I miss the whole set up for the show. The first season is in no way the best, but I love that I can hear at least one line from the movie worked into the show. If I skip Season three, then I miss the whole Faith arc. If I skip Season Four, I miss hair pulling, Adam, and lots of Anya. If I skip Season Five...well, then....the whole Dawn/Glory thing is skipped over. I can't skip Season Six because that's where the musical is! That leaves Season Seven and you can't skip the end of the series! (and I am sparing you the episode by episode breakdown).
Angel wasn't my favorite show, but it has grown on me. But, aside from most of season 3 & 4, I really do like the series now. But if I skip episodes, then I miss background info for future episodes.
Firefly is hard to watch sometimes because it gets so dark. But I can't not watch the Reaver episode.
So...I ended up starting Angel from Season one.
