Buffy! How I've Missed You!

Was I just saying recently that I've got too many things to watch? Or that I'm a little worried about getting done all the stuff I need to do in the next few weeks before I take off on vacation? Well, now I'm really not going to get anything done, because my good friend and fellow Buffy neophyte, Greta, just sent me another batch of Buffy tapes. I've already watched three episodes this afternoon! (Well, hey, what else was I going to do in my antihistamine-induced haze?)

I am definitely groovin' on the third season, too. You know, one of the (many) things I really like about Buffy is how well-drawn the bad guys are, and I gotta say, the Mayor ranks right up there with the best of them. That guy cracks me up! He's just such a cheery, wholesome kind of evil. And he can say the most outrageous things with that goofy, pleasant smile on his face. ("There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true!") And then there's Faith. Now, that girl has issues. But she's a great character.

The last episode I finished was the one where Buffy temporarily gains the ability to read minds, and, man, was that one a hoot and a half! (I always did wonder just what goes on in Oz's head when the only thing that comes out of his mouth is "huh.") I believe that means I've only got a few more third season episodes to go, and then it's onwards to Season 4! Huzzah!
