Over its seven-season run, buffy the vampire slayer pulled off some astonishing feats – particularly when you consider that when it premiered on march 10th, 1997, it would be years before the current “golden age of television†would be in full swing. It was impressive enough that joss whedon’s creation for the wb network managed to be anything other than a schlocky joke (given its title), or a campy genre piece (given its girl v. Endless parade of hellspawn premise). Instead, it exceeded expectations and then some, bringing wrenching pathos, meditations on life and death, examinations of power and responsibility, formal innovations like a musical episode and a nearly silent episode, and kick-ass action seamlessly combined with biting humor to the small screen. A binge-watching classic, long before anyone thought to coin the term, was born.
4 october 2016 | by indigotip – see all my reviews buffy the vampire slayer has an odd name. It looks like it has cheese. Unfortunately, some people are even put off because it was produced in the 90s. Please don't let any of these things get in the way of watching this show (like me :c). The humor is on point and self-aware, the heroine is awesome, and even though i'm only starting the second season, i can say with confidence that this show is good. Plus, giles is the best. If you don't know what i mean by "giles is the best," it's obviously time that you watch the show, learn why, and then agree with me wholeheartedly.

I've enjoyed--i admire--"buffy the vampire slayer" more than anything i've ever seen from television. I was slow getting around to "buffy. " it sounded too silly (cheerleader? vampire slayer? really?) to be worth watching. That was until i took my teenage kids to see "the avengers"--eight times, and i confess the last three were my idea. It was the quality of the performances (directing and acting), and even more than that the script, which never condescended to its audience, and the obsessive attention to quality, for which no detail was too small, that kept me coming back. I admire artists who have the self-confidence to take "escapist" forms seriously, by which i mean not that they hang them with ingmar-bergman-style crepe (i'm talking about you, dc), but that they are willing to give them every measure of their skill, intelligence and commitment, without apology or reserve. With "the avengers," joss whedon won my admiration for all that and more. So when the much-earlier buffy (his first major project) showed up on prime, i gave it a try.

“the screenwriter of 'alien: resurrection' has a show about vampires?†was my first thought when i’d overhear classmates chatting excitedly about “buffy the vampire slayer. †my next thought was: "why did they make a tv series based on a not very good movie?" i didn’t get the adoration the show inspired. I was still enough of a former jehovah’s witness to feel skittish about watching something so "occult. " more importantly, i was a teenager who detested being one. I disliked my peers almost as much as i disliked myself and in the middle of the “dawson’s creekâ€/†american pie †boom of teen shows and movies i made a point of barely watching any of them. (i made a notable exception for “roswell,†which answered the question “what if what crashed at roswell was a group of moody, sexy teens?â€) and somehow, i still had the nerve to look down at people at school for watching something as silly as “buffy. †but now that i'm in my thirties, this show i once turned my nose up at has since become one of my favorites.

“offspring†one of the smartest decisions that joss whedon and his writing team made with the character of angel—starting back in the buffy days—was to make sure that this “vampire with a soul†didn’t spend all his time brooding. Sure, angel broods plenty, and sometimes he descends into an all-consuming darkness indistinguishable from actual evil. But he cracks jokes, too, and shows genuine concern for others. If he didn’t, he’d be a difficult guy to get invested in, and to watch week after week. No matter how much the writers might urge us to care because angel’s fighting to save the world, i don’t know how much we’d really care if we didn’t like the hero himself. “the world†in angel’s case is just a tv world, after all. What we really want is for angel to save angel—and cordelia and wesley and gunn and fred and lorne, of course.

Angel is a fictional character created by joss whedon and david greenwalt for the american fantasy television programs buffy the vampire slayer and its spin-off series angel. He is played by actor david boreanaz. As introduced in buffy in 1997, angel is a love interest for heroine buffy summers ( sarah michelle gellar ), a young woman whose destiny as " the slayer " is to fight the forces of evil, such as vampires and demons. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that angel is himself a vampire cursed with remorse and a human soul, which motivates him to assist buffy in her duties as slayer.

Buffy the vampire slayer was an american supernatural drama television series that followed buffy summers (played by sarah michelle gellar), the latest slayer in a line of young women destined to fight supernatural evil. A cult classic, you will rarely come across a millennial who hasn't watched the show. With 7 seasons and 144 episodes, buffy, like many other long-running shows, had its fair share of behind-the-scenes drama. Cast members spend very long days working together, so it is only natural to expect that some disagreements may arise from time to time.
“normal again†it’s aftermath week here in buffy-and-angel-land, as our heroes deal with the repercussions of the heavy business that went down in last week’s episodes. Well sort of, anyway. In buffy, the immediate aftermath of xander leaving anya at the altar is covered only in passing. Buffy and willow start to worry because xander’s nowhere to be found and he hasn’t even e-mailed them to say where he is, but then xander shows up on buffy’s doorstep, feeling ashamed, saying that he should have handled the whole affair differently and at least explained to anya that he still wants to be with her, if not as a husband. “hey, we all screw up,†buffy says. And that’s the extent of the “hell’s bells†aftermath in “normal again. †(although since anya doesn’t appear in this episode, i’m sure we haven’t heard the last of it. ).
“villains†the dark turns of events toward the end of season six of buffy and season three of angel have got me thinking about what we look for from serialized adventures. These kinds of stories require a certain amount of tension and strife to be effective, and if we care about the characters at all, we’re bound to get anxious whenever they’re backed into a corner. That’s what makes a show thrilling and emotionally involving; we have to see what’s going to happen next. But because we care so much, we also don’t want to see the characters in so much trouble that they’re never going to get back to any kind of normal.
Buffy turns 19 years old today – the show, not the fictional character, who actually turned 35 in january just in case you weren't already feeling old.

We're not counting any one-shot romances here – no scott hope, parker abrams, olivia etc – with the notable exception of number ten. You'll see why.
In a less nuanced way, the school's bully, larry (larry bagby), came out as gay in season two. And even though the producers of buffy's spin-off show angel opted to rebrand andrew (tom lenk) as some sort of hugh hefner knockoff, his prior persona on buffy was clearly heading towards the exit of the closet.
Buffy and angel are the television shows that make up the buffyverse. They were both directed by joss whedon, and ultimately based around the verse's protagonist, buffy summers, the girl who fights vampires and other monsters in order to protect the world.

he continued: "if there was a way, or if spike was always in vampire face. Then that might work.
