Hey, all. I had never seen a single episode of BUFFY, and I was just curious about something.

At the local library, I have the first three seasons of BUFFY on hold. Now the second season is just sitting on a shelf, waiting for me to pick it up un til the 30th, which is when the hold on it expires. But I'm still waiting for the first season to show up so that I can watch it first and then ever subsequent series.

I was just curious. If I were to watch the second season before the first, would I end up hopelessly lost, or should I just stick it out and watch the first season before the 2nd?

And wow! Hey! What's this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like ... ow ... ound ... round ... ground! That's it! That's a good name - ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me?

As I don't know you, it's difficult to say
Whedon and his team were professional enough to know that they had to accommodate an audience that contained some who had not seen a prior season. Whether the first season will be spoiled for you is very much more personal. It hasn't mattered to me, but then my introduction to Firefly was the second half of the pilot, followed by The Message - so who am I to say?

Honestly, I'd wait for the first season. I really loved the first season and how it introduces the characters, and you'd be missing out on all that. But like previously posted, it's really up to you. The second season is amazing too, but it's worth the wait! Happy viewing!

You wouldn't be in the dark if you watch Season 2 first, but my advice is to start at the beginning with Season 1. Then again, you're getting this from someone who started with Season 4.

Gotta start with 1.

Season 1 - no question. OK, technically you can watch the seasons independently but of course you'll lose a lot in doing so - plus the opening episode of Season 2 owes a lot to the previous season's finale.

Yeah, you're right. I had forgotten about that. That seals it. Reginaroadie should definitely start with Season 1.

Start with Season 1, you get an intro to each character and a sense of who they are. Season 2 is far more superior, granted, but why miss out on how it all began (I mean the series. The movie sucked, but by no fault on Whedon's part).

k, i started with the pilot, watched them all in order, and it deffo makes more sense if u start out with the begining and work thru.
Problem with watching s2 first is that A. you wont get everything that's going on B. it's superior to s1, meaning that wen u watch s1, u wont enjoy it as much, becos it'll be a little bit of a step in the wrong direction.

Watch em in the right order

same way i did with Firefly. I'm a gd boy see!

At first I Was just going to say the first season introduces the characters nicely and such but the second season just blows it away. Now I still believe it does becvause its such an amaizing season and story arc (to me anyway) but because the first episode of the season hinges almsot ENTIRLEY on you seeing the first season and a lot of things won't make sense unless you see hte first season, I'd say see the first season. You wouldn't be COMPLETLEY lost but wow it would help A LOT. Besides its only 12 episodes long. Good luck!
