I've borrowed & watched the box set twice in the last 10 yrs (from my little brother who's 41!)

Second time watched it with DD who is 16. Both of us loooove Spike.

Angel is good but not as good - do like the Wesley/Fred storyline though.

Dollhouse is fab, and I have just this minute realised that Netflix has ALL of Firefly on it. I may have to stay in the house for the next 3 days!!!

Grin @ "welcome to the nancy tribe"

I loved that the network bigwigs didn't "get" English swearing, so Joss made liberal use of bollocks, shagging, wanker, etc!

Tabula Rasa is one of my all time favourite episodes ever!

LaVitaBellissima · 27/12/2012 23:18

I am very tempted!

StuntGirl · 27/12/2012 23:21

Doooo itttttttt!

StuntGirl · 27/12/2012 23:21

Has anyone read the series 8 comics?

LaVitaBellissima · 27/12/2012 23:24

At the moment I am loving Vampire Diaries, teen Wolf, The Secret Circle & Revenge is anyone watching these?

Really keen to do a Buffy revisit although I don't know when I'll find the time... Might do early night Mondays but really stay in bed watching Buffy again Xmas Grin

Yanbu! I loved Buffy whilst growing up. I used to record the night time version and watch it the next day because it was uncut. I still have the videos at the back of my wardrobe.

My favourite episode was the musical one "once more with feeling" I still sometimes find myself singing the songs Blush.

StuntGirl · 27/12/2012 23:29

I have OMWF on my phone Blush Every once in a while midway through my regular playlist something like "They got...the mustard...ooooout!" crops up!

sashh · 27/12/2012 23:33

When Angel leaves (you have a few series to go yet) start watching Angel as well.

OhDearNigel · 27/12/2012 23:42

i've just been rewatching series 7, it's my least favourite series and goes to a pretty dark and scary place for Buffy. Series 2+3 are my favourites with Doppelgangland probably my fave episode (the meeting of Vamp Willow and Normal Willow with the great line "I'm really skanky and.... I think I'm a bit gay). I only own the series on video and hadnt watched it for about 10 years and was overjoyed to discover that both shows were on Lovefilm. It's the only reason I signed up lol

One of my colleagues is similarly obsessed and our choice of Pointless final question would be "name actors who played minor recurring characters in the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer".

OhDearNigel · 27/12/2012 23:44

Buffy: What are you doing here? In 5 words
Spike: Out. For. A. Walk. [pause] Bitch!

Grin love that line

oh and one I also love for the sheer silliness and amongst other bits the Charlie's Angels style split screen is the season 7 episode Him. And the bit in the Bronze "The one who, according to Dawn, is the quote smartest, funniest, coolest, hottest, and having the thickest boy eyelashes boy in school unquote." Just brilliant

"Wesley ! She is a teenage girl and you have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone ! Have at it man"

One of my favourite quotes that I still remember:

"Harmony, when you tried to be head cheerleader, you were bad. When you tried to chair the homecoming committee, you were really bad. But when you try to be bad...you suck."

We are just rewatching the enire set of Buffy dvd's for about the 4th time. I think Buffy contains some of the best written tv episodes ever. As well as the humour & scary stuff, some of the relationships are really well written. The show has made me laugh & cry (sometimes in the same episode).
I love Angel, Spike & Xander. Oz is the coolest guy in the world. Dawn really got on my nerves though.

We also have Angel, Doll House & Firefly - all brilliant shows.

I can't understand how people can get excited by Twilight, when Buffy is a million times better.

alcibiades · 28/12/2012 00:09

But, what about Jonathan? Have we all forgotten Jonathan?

Tallalime · 28/12/2012 00:12

Buffy is pure awesome. I love it. And Spike. In his coat.

DD's middle name is Willow because I am that sad she is fabulous, especially vamp Willow... especially dark side Willow

digs out box sets

YY nigel I love that quote! Giles is one of my favourites.

"Let me get this straight. You think I'm evil if I take a group of teenage girls camping...and I don't touch them?"
