It was a box set of all the series, but it was on one of the DVDs for series 1. It may have been a US rather than UK box set though.

I'd completely forgotten he was in the original Pilot
And 5 mins of that was enough for me, I remembered how awful it is

My go to episode is Anne S3 ep1. I also like a LOT of S4.
I love Buffy for S2 and S5 and how powerful they are but lots of it are too much for me to watch a lot.
And then I do and I remember......and fuck me it's always more powerful than I thought!
Love you too my darling
Yeah, now natter how many times I watch it all, it still surprises me with how's powerful it is.

I LOVE Buffy! We used to stay up to see the unexpurgated version on BBC2 on Friday night every week. We keep saying it's time for a rewatch, just as soon as we've watched all these other things first. Looking forward to it.

This is going to sound terrible to anyone apart from thread regulars. Currently watching Star Trek on Netflix to entertain myself during feeds/when the baby sleeps on me, but when that finishes I'm thinking "is it too soon for Buffy again? I think not!"
This is all muted with subtitles though, so maybe Once More With Feeling would be a bit of a waste

I started watching Buffy again 
, very occasionally. I wanted to evaluate season 1 again. Only on episode 4, and probably watching one or two episodes a week. Interestingly, didn't much like the first season first time I saw it, but I can honestly say I have seen nothing wrong with it this time, not sure what I didn't like about it (edit: I think it was mostly the fights scenes that bothered me)? I actually laughed out loud a couple of times. I guess familiarity makes a huge difference!
So, I went and bought the Buffy comic book (Hard copy, so Season 8 is in 3 volumes). Volume 2 arrived today, and this means I liked Volume 1 enough to buy more!
Not so very different from the first episode... Apart from Willow! (I 'speed' watched it though, but seems the main plot is pretty much the same)

I am on episode 10 of season 1 now.
Internet is down here and I have epic period pain so this is helping.
I dunno what time round this is now

Oh yeah there more swimming lizard things.
I quite like it
Xander in speedos and Jonathan peeing in the pool
Also Cordelia talking to the sea creature when she thinks it's Xander and suggesting she gets him bath toys

Given that it is filled with schoolgirls and the undead, one would imagine a legacy from Jimmy Saville keeps it solvent.
A few have been better than I remembered so fingers crossed.Oh yeah there more swimming lizard things.

I have just watched the whole thing in about a month. For the first time.
It is cool. I liked it. I'll watch some again. The one where her mum dies is probably the single most rawly traumatic 45mins of screen drama I have *ever* seen. Very real. Horrible. I wept for my own dead dad when I watched it - and actually, was fairly cross about it, as well as impressed. I didn't sign up for *that*.
But then, for dawn to be essentially "over" the death of buffy after a few months seemed a bit unreal.
The logical inconsistencies of the show were annoying. Like, did they register her death or not? They had a funeral, a tombstone, but didn't tell her Dad? Or the school? Unlikely.
Also, the one slayer at a time rule didn't seem clear in early seasons. And why would you have a whole council of watchers if Giles is the only active one?
Oh Christ the accents. I mean, yes - James Marsden = hot. But wtf was his accent? They had a bloody British actor on set and he still couldn't pronounce "can't".
But I have enjoyed it and will watch it again in bits and pieces. Might start with the one where Giles eats the Halloween chocolate... Oh my!

I think the fact that James Masters accent was sometimes a bit iffy was kinda part of what made Spike endearing.,
Also, when Giles has a more cockney accent (in Band Candy when they act like teenagers) his is not so great either.
Yes I though about all the inconsistencies in it too at one point but then though, agh, she's a vampire slayer ffs*, suspend your disbelief.
*the ffs was at myself not you spangles x

yep. like many of us, Buffy is comfort tv for me, but with my own mum having just died, i don't know when i'll be ready to watch it again.
i will watch my comedy selections instead for a while i think.
They sort of work the iffyness of Spikes accent into the character though right? Starting of as William the poet and adopted the accent once he'd gone bad.
In other news just finished season 2 and the fish story was better than I remembered.

I like your retconning logic
, though tbf I doubt they had really thought of William's back story when Spike was originally introduced as a big bad for one season!
