What's your favorite season and episode?  4+Hush

Who's your favorite character? Buffy,Spike + Giles (in my youth:Buffy,Tara,Oz,Angel,Faith)

 

What lessons did the show taught you ?"No Weapons. No Friends.No Hope. Take all that away and tell me what´s left?" "ME"+

That people can only harm you/beat you when you have given yourself and your life up.When you refuse/stop fighting.+

"I´m the thing that monsters have nightmares about. You and I show them why."

 

No weapons, no friends, no hope, take all that away and what's left ? ME 

Everything here is hard, and bright, and violent. Everything I feel, everything I touch... This is hell 

The hardest thing in this world is to live in it. Be brave. Live. 

Everyone just lining up to tell me how unimportant I am. And I've finally figured out why. Power. I have it. They don't.

This bothers them

The show has really forged us into the person we have become. It helped me go through life like a karate kid

What's your favorite season and episode? Season 5 and 5x05

Who's your favorite character? Spike and Willow (and dark Willow).

What lessons did the show taught you? That woman do not need men to rsecue them, we can save ourselves.

What's your opinion on the recent drama surrounding the series ? I am sad that such iconic show had a dark story behind the scenes, i feel bad for the cast.

 

Also the show had some great music choices and some artists like Michelle Branch sang at the end of some episodes, that was so cool.

For real! I moved to a new school and area in my first year of secondary (high) school and was super depressed. I was at the one comic store in town looking at the Buffy magazines when a guy there asked if I like Buffy. We got to talking and he’s been one of my best friends for the last 20 years lol. For me there will never be another show like it. It totally captured an era and had so many impactful moments (tackling death, love, *******uality etc) 

I remember watching The Body episode recently with my bf (got him on the Buffy train lol) and was reminded just how talented the people on this show are. The characters and episodes stay with you like nothing else.

Interesting choice of episode ! Could you please detail why it's tour fave ? 

I agree, Buffy's OST is so good The Bronze is actually the coolest place on earth

Lovely story ! A true best friend also like BtVS. The show means as much to you as it means to me. 

My own BFF didn't like Buffy at first, she thought it was for kids. I forced her to watch, starting from season 5, and now she's fully part of the fandome and knows every dialogue ! She even made this for me:

Omg I really wanted the scythe prop but i couldn’t afford it at the time, that’s so sweet of your friend! Have you seen the guy on Instagram that makes Buffy sculpts? Absolutely insane! I’d love to commission a piece from him. His username is willowswarlok check him out, mind blowing!

I remember reading this in a magazine when I was young I was sooo psyched! Bummed it never happened, she’d have been a great fit for the part!

Honestly it makes sense. Britney and Sarah Michelle gellar had very strong leading lady vibes when this happened and I wish I got to see them on screen together. 
 

we did however get Michelle branch!

Wasn't there speculation, as well, that Shannen Doherty was in-talks to join following her exit from Charmed, but it never happened...?

Whaaaat ? Never heard this rumor ! I love Shannen but I am glad she didn't join tbh.

Y'all remember that Dawn also shaded Britney on S7's opener ?

I HAVE to watch an episode of Buffy everyday, it’s like a form of therapy for me, if I miss it I don’t feel right.
I’m currently up to season 6 After Life. Season 6 will ALWAYS be my favourite season, the whole darkness of it is gripping.

We are like twins, I do the exact same ! I will never get over the show, and today I watched that episode specifically. It's my personal favourite, and I think it's extremely underrated amongst the fandome. SMG showcases her acting abilities so much here. Her best acting in the series if you ask me.

You see all along that something's wrong with Buffy, and I LOVE this imagery, which set up her whole season arc: 

Last but not least, her speech at the end hits so hard as I struggle with mental health issues myself.

Yeah. I don't know how true it was... but, I do recall reading that once she left Charmed there was interest in her joining Buffy, especially because of her friendship with Sarah Michelle Gellar.
