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.)

Yeah, I heard about the comics (have also read a couple of reviews, spoilers and recaps), but I've never been into comics either. I'd much rather have him back on TV. *nods* I watched the episode of The Office which he directed, which was pretty appropriate since there were vampires involved, heh. I was disappointed when I learned that he was no longer directing Wonder Woman.

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! :)
