shadowkatBig Bang Theory was hilarious this week. Syfy channel cancelled Alphas and Sheldon is extremely frustrated, meanwhile Penny is trying to figure out the boys obsession with tv shows.
Sheldon explaining his frustration: They need to help the audience let go of the show. They can't just cancel it off-hand like that. We need a sense of closure. For example - Firefly got a movie. Buffy got a comic book series. And Heroes just went down in quality year to year until we didn't care any longer.
Penny and Bernadette are obviously watching Buffy. The theme song is in the background.
Penny: I don't get why he loves this show so much.
Bernadette: Well, you know that instead of the monsters killing the little girl, the little girl is killing the monsters, right?
Penny (clearly unimpressed): Oh, so it's the opposite. Whoopee.
I've had this exact same conversation with so many people, I've lost count.

Date: 2013-04-28 06:43 pm (UTC)ETA And yeah Penny would probably have enjoyed School Hard too as Spike and Dru are a good intro for Bts. I remember when I first watched the pilot I switched off after a bit as it seemed like such a cliched kind of show with Buffy meeting the bitchy new girl, then the sweet shy girl, and the traditional horror movie antics with the one-dimensional Master etc. I would have been much more interested if I had started with season 2 as Spike and Dru help mark the series out as something a bit different, and Spike is a character that a lot of people get interested in following right away
