Day 03 My favorite tv show
May. 18th, 2010 08:56 amI suppose it has to be Buffy the Vampire Slayer. There is no image that I can find that just doesn't look ridiculous. In the 90s I never saw an episode and I thought it sounded like the stupidest show ever. When in grad school, after the show had ended, a friend introduced me and I ended up watching all seven seasons in 2 years. The show is camp, which I love. I love the metaphor of horror for teen angst. Like all shows set in high school, the transition out of that safe stereotype was rough. I also had a loathing for Faith (mostly because Eliza Dushku can't act to save her life) and I thought Tara was a wet, moldy blanket. I adored Anya and Willow. I even started to follow the season 8 comic book, but.... I have a hard time with that format. I always want more.
