Buffy

[schneefink]

Because I apparently reached a critical mass of recs for Buffy the Vampire Slayer I watched the first three episodes this week. I've been told very often that it gets better after the first season, so I'll probably try it at least until then. In the meantime, a few impressions: The only one I'm currently interested in is Buffy, and a bit her relationship with her mom. Buffy seems pretty awesome, coping with this vampire shit while she just wants to be a normal teenager.
I sort of see the potential with Giles, maybe. Angel so far seems only like a dick, but to be fair he had maybe five minutes. Willow is very bland, does she get more interesting? I don't like Xander. Cordelia could be interesting.
I only saw three episodes so far, so I can't really judge yet, but it seems like the show relies a bit much on its witty lines and humor, which are admittedly sometimes very good but sometimes also a bit much.
I already want crossovers, for example with Lost Girl (4x1 was cool!).

You can enjoy the show at a casual level too, definitely. (The fandom, back then, was very much into meta and we'd spend days analyzing the symbolism in the episodes. Good times. :)
