Before I drift to sleep upon my cot, Camelot was enjoyable. Not a great production, but then it's not really a great musical. The score is lovely, but the book is weak. Michael York was all right as Arthur. He can't sing, but neither could Richard Burton or Richard Harris. He had presence. He also had only two gestures, which was kind of

oh cool! one of the girls in my knitting group works at the Orpheum, so was excited about the opening of Camelot.

and ok, so I've got family stuff this weekend, and finally moving our stuff in next weekend, but _after_ that, I'd love to meet up for coffee or movie or something

My boss bar tends at the Ordway sometimes, but he wasn't there last night. *g*

Yes, we should meet up! Just let me know when you're all moved in. Coffee and a movie sounds nice.

It was really fun gushing about Buffy the Vampire Slayer in junior high and high school. I started watching when it first aired, so I was in grade 8. Season 5 was during my grade 12 year, and the finale just killed me. I knew Buffy was coming back, but the whole episode was incredibly sad. And I loved Giles in this episode, even though he scared me a little.O_O

My friends didn't watch it, so I'd have had no one to gush with. *sigh* In college, I watched in secret - until I found out that one of my best friends was also into it. Then we could wibble to each other.

I watched the seasons all out of order. I think it was 6, 5, 4, 7, 1, 2, 3! So, my knowledge of the timeline is a little skewed.

-loves BtVS-

I'm ordering the full box set in a few weeks once I've saved up the right amount in my bank account. -giggle-

Have you seen the musical episode? I have it on my mp3 player hehe I listen to it in class -naughty-

[thistlerose]

The only seasons I've loved enough to buy are 2 & 3. I still mean to pick up 1 though.

The musical episode was one of the first I ever saw. I have the soundtrack. It's hilarious.

[hotfortwins]

I love the musical. I have it on everyday at least once. -sad- haha

I started watching Buffy in the 6th season, too, although from the beginning. Actually, I started with watching some episodes of season 5 my aunt had taped, but season 6 was the first season I watched "live." I think partly because of that, it's one of my favorite seasons.

[thistlerose]

S4 was my favorite for a long time, since it was the first one I'd watched in its entirety. Now that I'm rewatching it, I'm less impressed. It's a good season, but not as good as 3.

*G* I started watching Buffy with the 4th season. Good place to start, I think. I love the show, even if I haven't seen every season yet.
Buffy is my favourite character as well. I love her especially for the sarcasm she develops in the later seasons. She has a very unique view of life, I think.

I don't usually go for the main character. I mean, I need to LIKE the main character, but I tend to be drawn to the sidekicks. But with BtVS, I just adore Buffy. I love that she's a warrior but she's still quite feminine.

[malkador]

I love that she's a warrior but she's still quite feminine.
Oh yes. I'm not sure I would love so much if she were only one or the other. That combination makes her perfect in my eyes. And her moods, her sarcasm, her insecurities make her such a believable heroine for all the supernatural things.

But I have to admit, I usually go for the main character. Otherwise I would just loose interest after a very short time. Shows where the main character is not to my liking get ignored very fast.

[thistlerose]

Same here. That's one of the reasons I gave up on "Lost." I have to like the main character, but I tend to be drawn to the sidekicks.
