Isn't it great?!
I love Beckett. She's just so badass.
I didn't start watching Buffy until last year. I made it to season two before I found out what happens to Buffy and Angel (who I'm extremely attached to) and kind of drifted away from it. I'm thinking about starting up again this summer.
Just skip it don't even bother. Your just going to get super attached to him and Oz, and such and then they are going to be ripped away. Then just when you think the show is awesome and great, the writers start seriously screwing around with the plot and by the time you think your brain has settled on this new direction the show is taking shit happens that makes you go "Seriously why even bother to continue watching?" then they reverse the mistake, and everything just turns to crap real quick.
I watched that show from the first day it came on when i was 7 because i was in love with the movie that i used to watch over and over again from the ages of 4 up. Buffy was like the most awesome person in the world to me and then the entire show turned to crap and I became a very bitter ex fan. That show became the biggest disappointment to my 12 year old life.
