One More Time With Feeling

I’ve been watching my way through the Buffy catalogue for weeks and weeks now. As of last night I am on Episode 9 of Season 6. I just finished the episode where Buffy and Spike has super steamy sex and collapse the building with their violent lovemaking. While watching this particular scene, I was able to fully appreciate how far Buffy has com, and how it had matured with its audience. Having rough human/demon stand-up sex with on-screen orgasm is a far cry from Xander and Cordelia making out behind the closed door of a high school broom closet.

I’m really glad that I don’t know how it’s going to end, but it takes a lot of willpower not to peek ahead at episode guides.

If you’re asking me why I like it, my first thought would be I like the emotions it elicits from me. It hooked me in Season 2 with the Angel saga, and though it lulled with the boring College/Riley days, we are back in full swing with the climax of the lusty Spike escapade, and Willows fall into darkness. I laugh, I sob, I curse in anger and indignation.
And when I’m finished with the television series, I’ll move onto the comics, and resume normal xbox play.
