ericadawn16Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Yes, I've had other loves since that first episode of Buffy: The X-Files, ER, Dr Who, Torchwood, Being Human, etc. but Buffy has always been a constant. When Torchwood pissed me off this summer, it was Buffy that I turned to for solace. Season One of Buffy is the best comfort food. Everyone lives, only minor characters die and everything is neatly resolved in 44-50 minutes without feeling like my heart's been torn out in the process, plus, there's music, wonderful wit and likable people.
It's not just the show's intrinsic qualities that make me love it and use it for comfort though...
When I watch the early seasons of Buffy, it's like I'm that fourteen year old again and I remember what it felt like: to have so few problems, to have never heard of a Terror Threat scale, to be secure in the knowledge that as long as one goes to college they will succeed in life and that the federal deficit was being decreased. If someone couldn't do college, then they could join the army where it wasn't like they'd be involved in a conflict. It'd been years since we'd been involved in a war.
Yep, I'm definitely being nostalgic about the late nineties, lol...but it was pretty good even if I did have less money then and had to put up with homework.
