Buffy + book reviews

[delphipsmith]

Mr Psmith and started a revisit of Buffy the Vampire Slayer about a month ago; we began with Episode 1, Season 1 and have been working our way through it, relishing every minute of it, and finally finished last night. I'd forgotten what emotional powerhouses the last few episodes are, just one thing after another: [Spoiler (click to open)]Xander's speech to the Potentials

I love Buffy, and I agree. It's one of those series that don't get old because so much thought, planning and love went into it and because it managed to tell a complex, thrilling and intelligent tale.

Imagine what he would have done with Firefly if the Evil Executives hadn't cancelled it!

I adore Firefly. The first season was brilliant, and I would have loved to see more of it.

Ooh! Great minds and all that. I'm currently in the midst of a Buffy rewatch -- just started S7.

I love that speech of Xander's -- though my favourite part is the one Spike makes to her near the end. Still not quite forgiven the Scoobies for turning on her, though :(

[delphipsmith]

Oh yes, that one is lovely :) I'm with you about the one where they turn her out -- even Dawn, for pete's sake, and Buffy saved her ungrateful life!! I get angry with all of them >:|
