Day 03 - A picture of the cast from your favorite show

Years ago, my friend Becky started talking about some new shows she loved. One of them was Gilmoure Girls, which I eventually came to love, and the other was Buffy the Vampire Slayer.



At the time, we made fun of her for watching both shows, especially Buffy. The movie was awful, and the show looked like a typical WB (the just-starting tv network it was on at first) show.

At one point, I saw promotions for the season 6 premiere, where she was dead and was going to come back to life. I thought, "I kinda want to see how they do that." Over the course of a few episodes, it was revealed that the gang had brought Buffy back from what they thought was hell. Turns out she was in heaven when she was resurrected, and she wished she could have stayed. When I saw that story play out, I thought, "This is some good shit".

What a fantastic, well-written show! At the time, it was on re-reuns, twice a day, so I plowed through the entire series over a few months.

Joss Whedon is such a genius. It's unfortunate that none of his other projects, including Dollhouse (LOVE) and Firefly, never really took off.

I think Buffy is one of the smartest shows that has ever been on television and is such an amazing portrayal of a strong female character. I'm super gay for Joss Whedon and I agree Firefly was a lost opportunity for us. Have you seen all the episodes of Firefly in the order they were intended? It's so good and the commentary just makes me think that we missed so much by the show being canceled. Sad panda.

Have you heard he's directing Marvel's Avengers movie? I'm very excited about that.

Yes! I had heard. Of course, he was also supposed to direct Superman, Green Lantern, like Shazam and Wonder Woman, so I'm not getting my hopes up. But yeah, if he does, it will awesome!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a character from a movie of the same name. She's a tiny girl that kicks vampire butt. :)

I LOVE Buffy. Once you watch every episode of the show, check out the Season 8 comic.
