Buffy is and was one of the best shows on TV. It appealed to me so much because of the fact that the show actually got better as the seasons progressed. Season 6 was one of the best in my opinion and the characters grew with the show and it showed them dealing with real life turmoils even when their lives were surrounded by demons and vampires etc. The episode "the body" was one of the best in my opinion.
i can imagine sarah as Cordi, because she is a good actress and very pretty. but i cannot imagine anyone else as Buffy. so glad the role was finally given to Sarah! its hard to imagine if the show would be as successful as it is if Sarah wasnt Buffy.
Not only did JW create the most amazing series, but he selected the best crop of young actors he could have picked to honor his vision. They believed in their characters so much, worked so hard to bring them to life in ways we would relate to them and root for them, care for them, invest in them, even be heartbroken by them. This series is legendary. It changed television, really. And it warms my heart how classy and uplifting they all are of one another on the set.
Simply the greatest show in TV history. This special makes me miss it all the more. Am re-watching it right now on DVD (am through season 4- This Years Girl) and feeling the love all over again.
I was so upset in season 7 i believe. When Spike got his soul and went crazy. I loved him SO MUCH as a character! He is my favorite so matter what lol. His past is so sad, even before we was a vamp like when he wrote poetry and told that girl he was in love with her. Then she told him how she REALLY DIDNT love him back. Sound familiar? He also confessed his love to Buffy and she called him awful names and yelled at him. I felt so bad for him! He started on the show as a vampire who wanted to get Angelus back on their side to destroy the world or whatever. But eventually, he joins the Scoobies and they slay monsters. He became a better person over time and he fell for Buffy. He wanted to be better for her and he genuinely cared for her. He went to get his soul back for her! And suffered for her!! So, when she calls him disgusting it really hurts me because I know how much he truly loves her. He's been there threw so much and its sad to see.
This is also why I like Spuffy more that Bangel. Angel lost his soul and wanted to kill her and he LIKED it. He was only good to her when he had a soul. Spike loved her before he got his soul back. He only got his soul back for Buffy bc he thought she wanted that.
