Oh Buffy, I had missed you so….
I found myself giggling with excitement as Carl sent me the message that he had finished viewing season six of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I picked up the package on Tuesday night with express intent to NOT delve into it but finish the movies I was in mid-watching and wait for a free weekend to re-acquaint myself with the Whedonverse… oh foolish, foolish heart. I had to peek… I had to know… I had to see how the season started. I quickly realized that I needed to re-watch the end of season five before starting on season six. Many hours later I found I had re-watched the season 5 end, both episodes that make up the start of season six and did not find sleep until I had consumed the last episode on the disc. I now take a rest and wait to acquire Angel season 3 so I may again start the process of alternating a disc of Buffy with a disc of Angel in order to enjoy the occasional cross-over moments. I unfortunately know some of the surprises that await in Season Six, even with rigorous attempts at maintaining naiveté, one sometimes reads a line realizing too late it is laden with spoilers. I look forward to them and beg my friends who have completed the series continue to guard my tainted innocence by restricting buffyversation to whispered conversations and uttered sentences behind my back… I will catch up yet. I promise.
