Happy Birthday Buffyverse!
I didn't start watching until 1999 and I would have only been 13... weird. I couldn't let the day pass without doing something, so I'm sharing 10 BtVS songs and my top 5 episodes - with pictures and comments.
I really did grow up with this show and I still love it. It made me want to be a writer and I'd like to think it saved me a little during the hardest times in my life.
(To my none BtVS f-list - I got my ticket for Breakout today. I'm looking forward to seeing some of you there.)

My Top Five Episodes (with pictures.)
1. Restless: You think you know. What's to come. What you are. You haven't even begun.
A great look at the four core characters. And full of foreshadowy goodness.


2. Once More, With Feeling: The hardest thing in this world is to live in it.
This could have gone incredibly wrong but since it's 2 on my list, I think you know what I think.


3. Fool for Love: Lesson the first: A Slayer must always reach for her weapon. I've already got mine.
Spike. Effulgent. Chaos demon - lol.The ending is really pretty. (I love the crossover of this on Angel.)


4. Innocence: To kill this girl... you have to love her.
Emotional resonance and rocket launches! This is why I love this show.


5. The Gift: She's a hero, you see. She's not like us.
100th episode, I always cry when I watch this. I'm glad the show didn't finish here, but if it had, it would have been a great ending.

Date: 2007-03-10 11:08 pm (UTC)I was 13 as well when I started watching the show. I watched the first 2 seasons, and then didn't watch the show for a few years because I didn't have cable. But once I did, I got back into it, and I'm so glad I did. :)
Great choice of episodes, btw. Those are pretty much my favorite as well, along with a few more, such as Tabula Rasa and Lover's Walk. Joss needs to get back on tv, asap. :D

Date: 2007-03-12 02:28 am (UTC)Buffy will always be my favorite, with Angel a close second. I need to catch up on Firefly though - I've watched about 5-6 episodes a long time ago, and have yet to get around to watching the rest (including the movie)...
heh, yeah, as much as I love Buffy, there were definitely a few episodes that I could have done without. I think the one I hated the most was Doublemeat Palace...eww.
Oh, and I totally forgot to say the first time around - yay for getting your ticket to Breakout! :)

Date: 2007-03-11 07:30 am (UTC)It's weird, my friend just burned his dvds for me like a week or so ago and I've totally gotten back into it again, and now all over my f-list its mad Buffy love time. The weird thing is that it turns out that pretty much everyone on my f-list has been a Buffy fanatic at least at one point.
