Did you ever watch episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
What are your favourite episodes?
Who are your favourite characters?
What was the saddest moment for you?
Buffy Summers (played by Sarah Michelle Gellar) is the "Slayer", one in a long line of young women chosen by fate to battle evil forces. This mystical calling grants her powers that dramatically increase physical strength, endurance, agility, accelerated healing, intuition, and a limited degree of precognition, usually in the form of prophetic dreams. She is known as a reluctant hero who wants to live a normal life. However, she learns to embrace her destiny as the vampire slayer.

Buffy receives guidance from her Watcher, Rupert Giles (Anthony Stewart Head). Giles, rarely referred to by his first name (it is later revealed that in his rebellious younger days he went by "Ripper"), is a member of the Watchers' Council, whose job is to train and guide the Slayers. Giles researches the supernatural creatures that Buffy must face, offers insights into their origins and advice on how to defeat them, and helps her train to stay in fighting form.

That was one of my favorite shows for a few years. I stopped watching it after it went to UPN. In the US, we had two "other" networks that were competing with each other and getting nowhere, but I never watched that one. Eventually, they combined into one network, The CW, which I'm pretty sure has nothing worth watching, but somehow continues to survive as the fifth major network despite nobody watching. Years later, I ended up finishing watching it on DVD, though, which was interesting because those last couple of years and also the first year or so were all new to me. I also continued watching Angel after Buffy switched.

Not sure about my favorite episode. Most memorable for its uniqueness was Hush, in which everybody was silent for the last 3/4 of the episode, yet they still had a story to tell.

Favorite character was probably Spike. Too bad they never made a spinoff with him.

Watched the whole dad-blessed show, read the comics, and all!

Any episode with Clem, I'm gonna like. He's a good dude, dude.

Giles, Clem, Anya, Tara, and Mayor Wilkins.

That'd spoil things, but it has to do with that blonde dunce-boy who followed everyone with his camera in the last episode. Also, "The Body". And I think Dawn's kind of freak-out was also a little upsetting to me.
I was Going Through Some Things when I first watched this show in 2014.

I love this show. One of my dream projects has always been to produce a stage version of "Once More With Feeling".

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
