Plan on hopping on Netflix in a bit and have been eying this and Angel. Might start a watch since Netflix is otherwise ripe with crap (I'm watching a few shows and got a few on my list but outside of that, the selection really is balls). I've seen a large part of Buffy but I'm sure not the entirety. Angel I've seen scattered episodes for early mornings on TNT. So I guess now is as good a time as any.

I know I'll like it I've watched a majority of Buffy already. I remember the finale at least and a few select episodes and most of the characters. Buffy was the Slayer/chosen one but the show did a good job of developing everyone (TVD has the issue of where you may love some of the other characters but we know they get short changed in development).

Hey guys - Good job starting the thread, wednesday. I gotta admit when I started Buffy I thought it was going to be a "teenie-sfy shallow" series, but really glad I was wrong. Joss was such a creative thinker - Put Buffy and Angel together w/true love and keep them from having sex w/Angel losing his soul. Hard not to get hooked on the SL. I watched 'Angel" because of 'Buffy' and enjoyed it too, but I don't know if that link will work for 'TO' because I worry about JP F***ing it up too. This thread fills a hole in the page, because I feel JP rips the SL as much as the books (if not more) and unseccessfully I might all. =) Looking forward to the posts. Great gif to start the page wednesday....Gotta watch the thread anyway cause Slash is posting and I like seeing his signature. LOLOL

Ok, I am ashamed to say that I was very anti-buffy at first. I have loved SMG since her soap opera days, and I was very disappointed in her for taking on Buffy, so I never watched it. My opinion was misguided by the horrible catastrophe that was the movie. I didn't watch the series all the way through until it was over, and it makes me sad, because man did I miss out. I picked it up at walmart, and have never looked back. It is my favorite show of all time, and to this day nothing else has even come close.
I am so glad that this thread exists now, because I tend to talk about Buffy daily, everything just comes back to it for me. So I am so glad to have new friends to talk about it with.

Not too hot on the series at first, but grew to be one of my favs. Lucky for me I got to watch it and "Angel" back to back eps / no commericals or weekly waiting!!! "talking multi-day marathon" =}

shoe20 Yeah, I got the chance to watch Angel season 5 as it aired, but that was the only one. I don't mind as much though, I like not having to wait. Like if I had to wait 3 months to see anything after the end of season 2, I might have gone out of my mind! But there's also something special, that I just love about watching a show as it's airing, and getting to enjoy everything. That anticipation, I guess. I don't know. tara I was totally gonna post that first gifset here too. Cus I made it, and I am quite proud of it actually, and it's Angel counterpart as well. Screw it, I am posting the whole thing, cus my bbs are perfect!

Continuing with my shameless self promotion, I decided to post a few of my Buffy vids here, Some are Bangel vids, but not all. These are also the first vids I ever made, so don't judge too harshly, I didn't exactly know what I was doing, lol. Not that I do now, but still.

I was lucky when I watched "Buffy" and "Angel". I had all the Eps of both....no commericals...no waiting. I started "Angel" at the end of Buffy S3 and would watch a few of each as I went. The only problem was I got so hooked.....several nights of not much sleep. lol It's just about time to repeat! My #1 vamp series...... How creative Joss was the way he wrote the ultimate triangle. Buffy, Angel, and Angel's soul. Definately a vampster masterpiece.

Yeah, luckily I didn't have to wait either, I watched them on dvd. Which was a very good thing, because I would not have been able to wait the one night in between Surprise and Innocence, not to mention a whole summer after Becoming. I would have died!! But I totally agree. It's why they will always be in my top OTPs of all time!! shoe20 Just yes, the comment about best love triangle- AGREED!
