Re: Re: This Week's Episode, "Welcome to the Hellmouth"

[Crys Loch <pagansoul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm in.  I think it's a great idea.  I made room in my life for the show 
before, I think I can manage an hour a week for this again.  Or, to word 
it better, I'll quote my wife's response when I brought up the idea.  
"Sure, what's an hour of Buffy a week?- pleasure."  Since we seem to be 
in an opinionated mood lately, I'll mention my own.  I loved all 7 
seasons of the show, from the quirky, witty beginnings to the darkly 
complex ends.  But I'm still writing, I'm still obsessed.  I encourage 
everyone whose passion has waned and attentions wandered to join us in 
this.  We're 'so much older now' and knowing what we know, it should 
prove an interesting reinvestigation and POV.

I've watched a few specific episodes more often for fic research purposes, but that's out of order.  This way I can watch the series again with someone else, if only virtually.  But the reason I want to watch with someone is because I usually want to talk about it.  This way I can, and so can you.

I'll stick with this and that'll give me a reason to watch even those episodes (seasons) I dislike.  I hope Jin and everybody else does too.  We may find something to like, despite ourselves.

The series is excellent overall.  Even if all you can like is someone's performance, the cinematography of a scene, even a single line, please let us know about it.  I'm hoping to find something to redeem even the later seasons.
