OT my homage to BTVS

["Jolie <slyfox_kitkat@xxxxxxxxx>" <slyfox_kitkat@xxxxxxxxx>]

seven years ago, I was an awkward sophomore in high school who had 
seen the horribly, yet funny and entertaining movie Buffy the 
Vampire Slayer, staring Luke Perry and Kristy Swanson a few yeares 
prior. Then a new show on the WB was coming out, Buffy the Vampire 
Slayer and from then I was hooked. it helped that they were the 
same age as me, on screen, going through similar times as I was, 
with the exception of killing vampires. I also had an over 
imagination and clearly felt befriended by the people on my tv 
screen. I should say that I was one of those kids who was in the 
loner/outcast group, and watching buffy made me feel better, like i 
wasn't the freak, you know.

I felt for the characters as they went through the first season. 
When season two aired, I was looking forward to the new evil they'd 
have to fight, which was angelus, dru and spike. I cried when she 
killed angel. I have personally fallen in love with the song, "Full 
of Grace," not just for when it was played during the episode, but 
for its meanings. And what kid hasn't wanted to run away when 
things got bad.

Season three was definately an exciting season for me, for I was 
graduating with the scooby gang. Hey I was a naive kid, cut me some 
slack, but any ways...i was soooo pissed off at the way the gang was 
making buffy feel when she came back from LA. But things got 
better, we saw a almost full monty angel and a new slayer, Faith, 
who turned bad.

Season four was a season i missed for the most part, but have caught 
up in the re-runs and downlaods. I went to college and shied away 
from anything relating to my old life. But my three favorite eps 
from season four are hush, new moon rising and restless.

Season Five was the hardest season for me. BEfore the season finale 
I had lost a good friend of mine, so watching buffy die on screen 
just made it hurt ten times worse. MY two favorite episodes are the 
Body and The Gift.

Season six, or as Dan calls it Season Sux, had its rollercoaster 
effects with its brandish sub title..>GROWING UP AND BEING 
MATURE...I think it could have been done a lot better, but I did 
enjoy Once More with Feeling, Normal Again and Seeing Red, Villians, 
Two to Go and Grave.

SEason SEven...the last....seven years later we say goodbye to our 
friends...we've laughed, cried, cheered(for good or the bad or both) 
and so on. Here is to hoping this one goes out with a bang.

VIVA BUFFY
