Thoughts on Buffy so far...

[switch842]

I finished Season 1 the other day and have the first disc of season 2. So far, it's not bad. There's been no fangirl squeeing moments of "OMG!! I must find all the Buffy communities on LJ that I can!!" yet. I definitely like it. It's just not at the obsessive stage yet. And some specifics:

1) Does no one know what a light switch is? Seriously, the lights are never on ANYWHERE.

2) Giles is the most adorable thing ever. He's so cute when he's all bumbling over how to ask out Miss Calendar on a date. So cute.

3) Angel is hot. But that's pretty much a given. :-)

I think that's all for now. More thoughts as they come....

ETA: And we have Spike! Yes!!! :-P

"OMG!! I must find all the Buffy communities on LJ that I can!!"

See, while I love and adore the show to pieces, I'm so far from fannish over it, it's ridiculous. Led me to lots of thinky-thoughts about what in a show entices me into the fandom.


1) Does no one know what a light switch is? Seriously, the lights are never on ANYWHERE.

Also, they'd really benefit form having freaking cell phones. Really, half the problems they have? Would've been solved by easy access to a phone.

I have a feeling this show might be like that for me. There's a lot of other shows that I absolutely adore and watch every week without fail. But I'm not "in the fandom". I think that's where this show is going...

It is kinda disappointing, because from what I'd heard of the fandom, I was expecting to be wallowing in slash and it just...wasn't. I really, really didn't get where any of the BtVS slashers were coming from.

I swear on all that is holy if David Cook doesn't win I will commit bloody murder.

Yay another DC fan! \o/

We're totally heading to a David-squared finale, and Archuleta makes me want to kick puppies and punch babies. Think of the puppies and babies, America!

I've got my DCook #1 finger ready and waiting.

Archuleta makes my teeth ache.

LOL, really? Not even Angel/Spike? Even I found them slashy, and I was totally oblivious to Jack/Daniel. *g*

There was also some pretty slashy Angel/Wes in Angel The Series.

Other than that one line at the end of Angel? Nope, not slashy at all to me. And I really wanted to slash Spike! And Spike/Angel did nothing for me and I know a couple people into Spike/Xander and just DO NOT WANT. *shrug*


and I was totally oblivious to Jack/Daniel.

LOL, and see, I can't get that AT ALL. Abyss is like one giant J/D lovesong. *snerk*

Yes, Spike/Xander just makes me go ew! I thought Spike and Angel were pretty slashy in Season 2. I seem to remember some flashbacks in Angel S5 that almost made it canon, kinda hinting at a Spike/Angel/Dru threesome.

I had to read a lot of Jack/Daniel slash to start seeing those two as a pairing. Of course, now, looking back it's blindingly obvious. Especially in - is it Moebius? - where they're practically skipping down a corridor holding hands? LOL!
