Quote:BSG Season 2 was on Sky One over here which I don't get to watch so often. I caught it at midnight on a couple of Saturdays. This was one of the last ones I saw, and it was quite confusing where the extra battlestar came from, why Apollo was running it, why people were stupid enough to vote for Baltar and why the Cylons weren't killing everyone.

By having everyone colonize New Caprica, and then having the Cylons show up, and its one year later, with Baltar as the new President. It throws the story in a whole new direction.
Oh and where the hell did that planet come from?
Luckilly I signed up to Shoutcast TV, which has a 24 hour BSG channel, all the episodes from the mini-series to the end of the second season back to back so I've managed to see it now.
Oh and I guess you know what's up with Dawn now. Needless to say she was the key component of the season.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!

No, I will always love Buffy:
whiny Buffy
bitchy Buffy
self-destructive depressed Buffy
power mad speechifying Buffy
(of course I like Fray MORE)
PS and the BSG discussion is interesting, but I'm not sure we want to completely high-jack River's thread....

I agree with Chrisisall:
You must see 6 and 7. You have no idea how complex and lovely this show is until you've seen the whole thing. You will then find yourself watching it again and again.
Buffy is a bit whiny and I am inclined to agree with those who think Buffy screwed up with the way she treated Riley, but he was a bit of a child himself. Letting vampires suck him.. GYeeshhh... (channelling Xander here)
I have watched this series waaaaaaaaaay too many times...
-----------
Going back and watching 1-5 again will allow me to catch the things I missed the 1st time around.

You will love OMWF... It's a very different buffy. I find myself singing and singing and singing...
I do love Hush and Earshot... Hush is the scariest ep as far as I'm concerned, but I love to talk...
Anyway, until you see Seeing Red and Grave, you have a large hole missing in your life!! And you cannot miss Chosen. or potential... awww, just watch the next two seasons...

Regarding not caring if certain relatives die. I can relate. And I'm full of emotion and caring. but I had one particular grandmother who was just evil. Now, losing anyone else, that would suck. but when she died, I didn't even consider attending her funeral. Only good thing she did was to have my father and his siblings.

Riley was a swell guy, and very caring (plus, bonus points for being human), and after season 5, I sold it all- good riddence to bad Buffy!
Then I missed it, and got the Chosen Collection.
Best purchase I made since Dark Angel.
(I don't include FF because it's not a choice, it's a lifestyle
)Sure'n I'm a fan o' the Riley Chrisisall

I don't mind. I accidently hi-jack other people's threads all the time.
The only thing that annoyed me about Buffy in the earlier seasons was how mean she was to Spike. She would always walk into that crypt he lives in without knocking, and the first thing she would do was go straight to him, and punch him in the face, and Spike always just let her do it. I found that very annoying.
Buffy's a hero, and she's saved the world many times over, so she can be whiny, bitchy, or depressed if she wants too. I love her just the same. Joss did a good job creating her. Speaking of Joss, you know, this guy creates characters that really stick to you...its sort of amazing because I know no other writer/director that does that.
I also love Willow. Out of all the characters in BTVS, Willow was the character that was completly different at the end of season 5. She had nothing in common with the Willow from season 1.
Back to the misery of paper work.

Seriously. I was very angry at her for the way she treated Riley. ANd then she got all whiny and it just ticked me off. Then of course she USED Spike.
I didnt like Riley all that much, and I was really glad to see him go.

Buffy's feeing of loss and helplessness didnt really hit me until she uttered the word "Mommy?" as the shadow of Joyce passed the window and was heading for the front door.
I was soooo gladddd that Dawn tore up that paper that had her mother's name on it before Buffy could open the door!!!!! There was something really creepy about that whole scene.

I'm glad that I stopped at season 5 of Buffy. You guys are such a pushy lot. You got to watch stuff, and then wait a bit and let it sink in before you move into the next season. My rushing from season 1 to 5 so fast at the urging of the now evil Chrisisall made me want to go back to season 1 of Buffy. Creeps. Kneecap kicking all around for that.
It is important to have things to look forward to, and I am determined to save seasons 6 through 7 of Buffy for October, which is also just in time for when the 3rd season of Battlestar Galactica ramps up. Also around that time I should start on season 3 of Angel. if I time it all right, I should be quite busy, working through all these seasons and episode of mentioned shows that should carry me through to the next year. And when all that is done I will move on and start watching Dark Angel. Good plan if you ask me.
I'm trying to figure out why I like BTVS so much and I figured out why. Buffy Is Sandra Barger. Buffy is Supergirl. Buffy is Jamie Summers. Same noble characters, but comes with different names. History repeats itself. This crap is seriously starting to get to me.
