Finished Buffy Season 2

Okay, so I figured that if I watched a season or two, that was enough to "get" the show. I've done that with others, like BSG (seasons 1 & 2), Arrested Development (1st season only), or The Office.

Getting to the end of season 2 in Buffy, I figured I might just forget about it and not see the rest.

Until I saw the final episode. Incredible ending. Yeah, honestly, I thought it was brilliant. So much that I actually do care to see what happens. Very glad I don't have to wait months to see it (like regular season finales).

But I'm not sure I want to watch either. I know there's a spin-off series about Angel, which means they must somehow bring him back. They shouldn't - it should really end right there. In fact, I'm feeling the whole Buffy series should end at the end of season 2 - great endings don't leave room for sequels.

But alas, Emi has lent me the next 5 seasons of Buffy and 4 of Angel. . . So I'm sure I'll be seeing more. Just hope it's not disappointing.

Today's song is . . .
Sarah McLachlan's Full of Grace
(Ignore the vid, only decent version of the song I could find.)



Anyone know why I chose this song?

Retro 90's

Each generation's pop culture seems to fall in a 10-15 year period - high school, college, through twenties. By the time a generation reaches 30, they've got their own culture. They start to think that the new stuff is too shallow/loud/annoying. By 30, their generation has been defined.

Well, I'm nearing that mark myself. But I have no idea about my generation's pop culture. A big part of this blog is discovering my generation. Sure, I'm pulling from modern stuff and from the 60's / 70's, but I want to discover the things I'm expected to know.

Which means . . . the 90's. Yes, unfortunately, I'm a decade behind. But I especially want to look back on the 90's and see what I was missing (though I don't expect much . . .).

So, I give you . . .

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
(The song is from Bring It On, but this is what I expected from the whole show.)



Yeah, I know. But hey, back in high school, everyone seemed to be into this. Even in college, they'd talk about it. Although I did watch TV occasionally, I never saw a single episode of Buffy. Had NO idea what it was about. It just sounded plain stupid.

I'm now on season 2. Stroke of brilliance to make Angel evil. Show would have got boring / died otherwise. DON'T TELL ME ANYTHING!!!
