E4 have been showing it in the evenings and you can watch all the seasons online on their catch up.

Oh the nostalgia.

I forgot how much I shipped Xander and willow!
Also, it really makes me wish I had friendhips like buffy does.

Who did you guys ship?
Oh and Angel, Spike or Reilly for buffy?
I'm team spike lol.

I think drewcilla was my favourite character of all, think she is just a great female villain.

I've been rewatching it on Netflix.

I'm noticing all the dungarees!

I'm struggling to work out what you're typo "shipped" was meant to be!

Hey, its not a typo. It means the couple you'd like to see/that you support.

Gosh yes, very 90s fashion!
I keep noticing how buffy wears these really short dresses to school. Surprised her mum was ok with that xD

Her mum didn't have much control over her really.

In season 1 David Boreanaz's acting was really very ropy. Xander's not very good either. ISTR both improved?

I think xanders acting gets better. I'm in season 3 now and it seems good to me.

Tbf...the angel guy got the short straw for a character with personality. Having to play a simpering love struck vampire...Though they went on to make 'angel' so he must have done something right.

I love the Xander Willow relationship although it doesn't really go anywhere. I also loved Willow and Tara so maybe I just love Willow.

Pretty sure shipped comes from the word relationship, if there are characters you'd like to see in a relationship (even if it never happens) then you "ship" them.

Yeh that would make sense!

Hmm I couldn't get behind the whole tara willow thing. I think if I remember right it felt like she had got over oz too fast...

Also, she clearly had like guys before so, is bi. But the show made it seem as if she had suddenly 'turned gay'.

Its all on 4OD too. I am on season 2 episode 2 so far. Yes to 90s fashion!

I still have the hots for Angel 15 years on.😂

Enjoying it just as much this time. Waiting for the classic lines. There have been a few so far.

dudsville · 10/06/2020 22:30

Ooohhh! Thanks.

So, i liked spike but he tried to rape buffy so i have a hard time with that. I love that he saves the world at the end though... i don't know.

swimkiwipanda · 11/06/2020 00:36

Series 2 Ep4.

Xander to the 'mummy' who ran away before they kissed:
'Are those tears of joy, pain, revulsion?' 😂

swimkiwipanda · 11/06/2020 00:40

Oh god must go to bed before next one starts 😂

Hey no spoilers! I'm watching it for the first time with my 15 year old daughter.

Bunnymumy · 11/06/2020 01:04

Wow I'd love to be able to watch it for the first time again. That show was such a big part of my childhood.

Oh and - the fact that they dont have mobile phones and are just starting out in the computer age! It seems so odd now looking back. Like sometimes you catch yourself going 'cant she just ring them and let them know...oh wait' lol

heartsonacake · 11/06/2020 09:52

I shipped Spike/Dru massively. Dru was my favourite character so I was very sad when she left.

After that Spike/Buffy. I never liked Angel except when he was Angelus, and Reilly was too much of a wet fish.

SlatternIsMyMiddleName · 11/06/2020 15:52

Aww, lovely Spike. I have erased the bathroom scene from my mind and just remember how funny he was when he and Buffy were sneaking around.

I have NOT paused many’s a time on the scene when Buffy is invisible and pays Spike a late night visit. Nope , not at all.

dudsville · 11/06/2020 17:43

I'm on the ep where Willow and Zander kiss!

dudsville · 11/06/2020 17:45

(Oh god, sorry pip!)

Haha I think we've established there will be spoilers in this here forum post xD

You know what was really cute - the willow zander leg thing! You'll know what I mean when you see it lol.

SpacePug · 11/06/2020 19:31

I always thought ship/shipped was short for relationship

Binglebong · 11/06/2020 20:29

No no no! Willow and Oz forever!

Bunnymumy · 11/06/2020 20:51

Haha I want oz all to myself, he's adorable.

Buffy sneaks in to library to look up files on Angel, Giles spins round.

Giles: "Buffy, hI"
Buffy: "Nothing"

😂 Nothing to see here.

swimkiwipanda · 12/06/2020 21:26

@dudsville Is that a real kiss or interrupted by a vampire one?

I'm on season 2 ep 6 I think.

I bloody love Buffy, as female empowerment TV characters go, she's up there. There are a few moments where I think its pretty 90s but its held up well.
