mindstalk: (buffy comic)
I saw most of Buffy as it aired. Not all of it: I came in with "Surprise" and "Innocence", and saw through the end of season 2 before borrowing someone's tapes to catch up. But the rest, and Angel (and Firefly) too. I liked it all. I used to own the DVDs, before the Great Purge, but never got around to sitting down with them.

I'd learned IMDB has some movies and TV shows, and when I checked it told me Buffy and Angel are free on Amazon Prime. I don't think that was the case when I'd checked before! So suddenly I want to re-watch them, while I can.

I've seen the first three episodes (the opening 2-parter, and the Witch) and I'm pleasantly surprised to find them pretty solid. Might not have been the case, for things watched when I was much younger, early things in a show known for its campiness, but no, they're *good*.

I just re-watched the famous Buffy musical episode, after years of listening to the soundtrack. It's still fun and good as a coherent whole.

It did occur to me that Giles' reaction to Buffy's depression, "turn away to force her to stand on her own", is probably terrible. I guess it makes sense if he thought she was being 'detached' or 'lazy' or something, and not 'depressed'.

Xander no.

I've never re-watched the later seasons. Part of me is thinking "apart from the amnesia episode, it's all downhill from here."
