Happy Birthday Buffyverse!

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.

Wearing Me Down ~ Dashboard Prophets (The Harvest)

Fate ~ Four Star Mary (Inca Mummy Girl)

Full of Grace ~ Sarah McLachlan (Becoming Part 2)

Tales of Brave Ulysses ~ Cream (Band Candy and Forever)

Wild Horses ~ The Sundays (The Prom)

I Can’t Take My Eyes Off You ~ Melanie Doane (Family)

Goodbye to You ~ Michelle Branch (Tabular Rasa)

Out of This World ~ Bush (Dead Things)

Blue ~ Angie Hart (Conversations with Dead People)

Pavlov’s Bell ~ Aimee Mann (Sleeper)


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.



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.)

I think you pretty much listed my top episodes too! I love the crazy surrealness in "Restless" (and of course, that moment with Giles and Spike on the swings) and the rest of them are pretty much for the same reasons as you listed.
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.

I love Giles and Spike on the swings! I write drabbles and fics, which keeps me involved with the fandom. I've liked other shows but not like this one. There's just something special about it, it made me into a writer and just changed the way I think about things.
