I love all of Whedon's work, I really do. I adore it.
I was a latecomer to Firefly because I wasn't able to watch it until I bought the boxset for myself at 16. So I was late to it, but when I watched it. WOW. I fell in so much love, it really appealed to me at that age too, my sense of adventure...
But my favourite show is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It just, it's the one show I will always be able to put on an episode of, and it will never get boring. I've written essays on Buffy, I've studied the text and now it just makes so much sense to me, and I keep learning more and more about it, and the older I get the more I connect with things the characters go through that I never did before. I will never, ever not love Buffy. I have watched it since I was 7, I grew up with the Scoobies - through the pain, the losses and the victories. Some of Buffy's spirit I'm sure has passed on to me, because I have never felt like I'm not equal to a man. I've always felt I'm BETTER than a man because Buffy taught me to be strong and that men don't have to come in and save you, you can save yourself! Heck, you can save a man too! I just love it so much. I watched Once More with Feeling last night and could not get my eyes away from the screen. Nearly every episode is just magic and sometimes I cry watching an episode because I love it so damn much.
Phil has never seen it. You have no idea how freaking excited I am to watch it with him as a first time viewer. I really, really hope he doesn't spoil it for himself. This is a show I love so much and I can't wait for him to fall in love with it too. And for me to get to watch it all the way through AGAIN.
If you could only pick ONE show as your all time favourite show, what would it be and why? Do you have an attachment to it like I do with Buffy? Or do you just enjoy it because it's fun... idk!
