Of Layers and Slayers

After (almost) exactly three months, we finished the entire series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Wow.

The show never ceased to amaze me. Every aspect about it charged me. The demon/vampire supernatural stuff hit my love of, well, the supernatural while the character development (and I know I sound "pretentious" saying that) just kept me riveted. I mean, there was an entire season, an entire season, about Buffy realizing why she should be alive. That was the main plot. One huge arc.

There is no reason why anyone should skip over the show.

But I wonder, was it actually just the show that was so incredible, or was it because I watched every episode with Shannon; Laughing and crying and just enjoying every minute of it?

The show is a testament to good writing and good storytelling. The arcs, the villians, the stories, the jokes. It was all there.

We just picked up the season eight comic and we still have Angel to go.

The story isn't done.
