Hello everyone. I am new to the board. I have been a huge Buffy fan for a while, but now I am a fan of pretty much anything Joss Whedon does. Currently I have been keeping up with season 8, rewatching Buffy season 2, and ready for Dollhouse season 2 to begin.

Apparently I need a watcher. And takers? I am pretty much Jossverse fan, but Buffy always comes first!

I think the character changes for Willow will have something to do with the fact that she kind of blames herself for Tara's death because she brought Buffy back. I think that is why we have seen distance between her and Buffy and Xander. They are friends, but I think others things are becoming more important for Willow.

No way Willow can die!!! I can see a short lived Dark Willow again, but I don't know why Joss would go back there. It's been done. I think that losing a member of the core scoobies kind of kills the story. I know its called Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but the show and comics are more about the scoobies than just her.

Real name? Tiffany
How old are you right now? 24
What do you study/do for a living? Wealth Management
Place you are from? Alabama
Place where you live now? NYC
How old were you when you watched your first Buffy episode? 13, but I didn't get hooked until I was 19
Did you like the show right away or did it take time for you to get into it? I liked the show when it first started, but as I grew older I strayed from watching series on television. I was too busy being a teenager. When I picked it back up again at 19 I was obsessed.
Do you remember the very first episode you watched? Not really. It was something in the 1st season
When did you first realize you were getting addicted to the show? It was after the DVDs were coming out, I guess right around when the 7th season was airing on TV. I started watching the DVDs with my friend who was already obsessed.
Were there any other specific times when you felt like your interest for the show kept increasing, even to a point where you could no longer control it? No, but my friends and gf probably think differently
Do you feel like the show ever jumped the shark at some point over its seven years of running? No not really.
Which character gave you more laughs overall? Anya made me laugh the most. I love her random outburst and outlook on life after being a vengence demon for so long.
Was there a character you really couldn’t stand? I never really liked Dawn. She is annoying especially in season 6. I am warming up to her now tho. Also, I didn't like Drusilla. She annoyed me too.
What is your favorite female character? Willow definately.
What is your favorite male character? Xander
What relationship did you “worship” the most? Willow and Tara
Which death touched you the most? Tara's death was heartbreaking
What is your favorite season and why? That is hard, but I think probably season 5. I loved Glory as the big bad. We got a full season of Willow and Tara. Anya and Xander were happy. The season opened with Buffy having a random new sister! I think this season the scoobies were starting to grow up and getting more serious, but they still had some of that happiness from the earlier seasons. After season 5 they get very serious, and more adult.
What season did you enjoy the least? Season 1 I'd say. Obviously it is needed for backstory and such, but I always want to skip it when I do a rewatch.
If you had to rank the seasons? 5-4-3-6-2-7-1
Who is your favorite big bad? Glory, with Mayor Wilkins coming in a close 2nd.
What is your favorite episode finale (or final arc of a season)? The Gift. I cried way to much when Buffy died even though I knew she wasn't going to be dead forever at the time.
What is your favorite fight? Faith and Buffy fight in season 3 is awesome.
Do you have one favorite episode? Once More With Feeling because I can watch it over and over.
Finally, what would like to add? What’s so special about BTVS? I can't pinpoint what exactly makes it special, but the way Joss is able to pull us into the BTVS world is awesome. I really feel for the characters on the show. I also think that Joss is awesome at giving characters a good backstory. Such as Spike and Angel who have hundreds of years of history.
Do you enjoy the Season 8 comics? Yes, but not as much as the show. It is just nice to have the story continued on.

I think Dawn/Xander is going to happen this arc also. I am still unsure of how I feel about it though. I like Xander's character, but I dislike Dawn. So if it means that pretty much all his scenes will be with her then I might not like it. There is also the possibility that if she dates Xander that I may begin to like her more. I guess we shall see...

Anya's speech is by far the saddest part. Pretty much the whole scene in dormroom is sad with Willow, Xander, Anya, and Tara.

I have to go with OMWF for best episode ever. The music is great and the storyline is compelling. The storyline also has alot of depth for a musical. I can rewatch this episode over and over again.

I vote Under Your Spell.
Amber Benson does a great job with this song and I love Willow and Tara. I also really like I've got a theory.
