Change of plans

There has been a slight change of plans. I am expected to lend the first season of “Buffy” to my aunt at Christmas! So I should really get started. I thought it would have been nice to officially start this blog on the first day of the new year, but now I have no choice but to begin next weekend. I will be updating every day for the Christmas holidays, and then I will go back to writing about two episodes a week.

You should all know that to correctly understand “Buffy”, you have to get under her, and all the other characters’ skin. That is my humble opinion, and I will do my best to do so as I give full details about the passion that I wish to share with you, and whoever finds the time to read the following.

Feel free to add your comments, whether they are good or bad. If they are bad, that’s okay; everyone is allowed their opinion and I will not take it personally. In fact, I would enjoy reading what you have to say and will gladly take any suggestions you have to make it a better adventure for both you and I. If they are good, well, that would make me a very happy fourteen-year-old indeed.

All the while you read, bear in mind that this is only my take, and there may be some things we agree to disagree on.

I can't wait to start! See you Saturday!

Look inside Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Everything began when a man by the name of Joss Whedon watched a horror movie and decided he thought it was unfair that the ditzy blonde girl always got killed. From there sprung a whole world, representing all that a normal teenager would go through, and more. By more, I mean vampires, demons, spirits and evil.
I first discovered Buffy when I was thirteen years old. I went to the movies to see Twilight, the movie adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's captivating novel. Since then, my passion for vampires has been blown out of proportion. I remember well how my mother came home one day and told me: "Here, I found a book on vampires for you. It was only 99 cents at a second-hand store. I figured you would like it."
Did I? Oh. Yes. I immediately fell in love with the realistic characters, passionate emotions and hilarious dialogue. Of course, I just had to get all seven seasons for my birthday. And watching Buffy has been the best experience in my life. I wish to share it with you.
Starting January first, 2010, I will watch one episode every week and post all the details here, enabling you to find out about the goal of the series, personal quotes from the actors, and my thoughts on each of every episode of every season.
Enjoy yourselves!!!
