10 Things About Buffy...

Managed to miss the violent thunderstorms that plagued NYC today, because I work in a cave cubicle in Jamaica, Queens. It wasn't hit that badly. Taking tomorrow, the weekend, and Tuesday off.

There's a meme going around celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Buffy the Vampire Slayer ("Buffy" or "BTVS")...stating 10 things that made Buffy great. But I thought, frak that, it's more 10 things that made me hopelessly obsessed with the series much to my family and non-internet friends considerable chagrin. If you weren't a Buffy fan, you'll never understand those of us who were. Although my list may or may not be a place to start.
( 10 Reasons I Became Obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer )

As much as I loved that series, I do not want a reunion special or movie. Nor a reboot. Let it be what it is, please.

Oh, now here's 10 short but sweet reasons I loved it, the non-obsessive addition:

1. Spike
2. Subversion of Gender Tropes
3. Spuffy or the Spike/Buffy relationship
4. Cool songs and soundtrack
5. Once More with Feeling - musical geek
6. Quips and Witty Humor and Dialogue
7. Girl is the hero or Buffy
8. Willow
9. Giles (actually ASH - I watched it for him to start with)
10. Unpredictable and experimental episodes
