Probably almost since the final episode aired, I'd been wanting to just sit down and marathon thru the entire series in as few days as possible. Well, I finally did it . About 10 days ago I realized I was going to have a window with enough free time to try, so I cleared a couple of minor things off the schedule, and voila: Buffiness! Buffiness to the tune of seven seasons--ALL 144 EPISODES!!--in eight days. For those of you like Joss, who are bad at maths, that's an average of 18 eps per day.

Of course, once I was done, and was sitting there all numb and shell-shocked, I couldn't help but wonder why I'd ever wanted to do such a crazy thing in the first place, but then I realized: I did it because I could! Because it needed to be done! Because the DVDs were crying out to me, desperate for someone brave and worthy to come along and at long last accept the challenge!! (Okay, it's possible I'm still a bit loopy here...)

And believe it or not, if I can ever find six consecutive, completely free days in the future, I just might try the same thing with Angel...

I was laid up with a broken foot for a while this past fall, and I did a Buffy and Angel marathon. When I got to Season 4 of Buffy I alternated discs with Angel Season 1 and continued that way through the seasons. I think it took me about fifteen or sixteen days, but I can't recall exactly.

Good god man, are you insane! Awesome! I went a more traditional, boring route w/ my Buffy project. It's taken me the better part of 6 months ( thanks in part to the bone heads at Blockbuster ) to get through 5 1/2 seaons of Buffy so far. I took sometime off in short spans, here and there, and had hoped to be done by years end. Not to be, but I'm nearly done.

" I did it because I could! Because it needed to be done! " haa haa! Too gorram funny.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

" They don't like it when you shoot at 'em. I worked that out myself. "

Holy... I bow to you, just bow to you. That is amazing! If I had that kind of time I'd be doing the same. What better way to spend the day then bombarding your brain cells with Buffy! Maybe Bruce Campbell movies, but that's just my own personal joy. Still 18 hours of Sarah Michelle Gellar. I could get used to that.

Remember Buffy in the loony bin in "Normal Again"? Picture the male version of that, and that's me by the time I got to "Chosen"...

I gotta admit man, that takes some dedication. Surely you are an example to us all.

well sure, now you've seen all the shows in order...
but NOW you have to watch all the commentaries!

Joss' are the best,
but David Fury & Jane Espenson do great commentary too
(I love me great commentary!)

I think (personally) the best one was
Restless
or maybe The Body

Now I'm thinking I want to go back and rewatch just the commentary my own self.
