i've been thinking.....

I've been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer season three, and it amazes me how many essays I could write about love and life lessons that can be taught during this series.

I mean, there are seven seasons, I'm sure some things could be learned during these episodes. Spike has just returned to Sunnydale. Who says you can't go home? Even though home isn't Sunnydale to Spike, even though Joss Whedon says that it is. His technical 'home' was somewhere in England where he was sired by the vampire that was later known as Darla, portrayed by Julie Benz, also known for her role in Dexter as Rita.

Spike got his freaking soul back just to win the love of Buffy, the SLAYER, of all people. A vampire changing his ways to win the love of a mortal, who is the slayer nonetheless. But Buffy does have soft spot for Spike, as do all who watch the inspiring cult classic.

The episode I'm watching now, Spike has kidnapped Willow to do a love spell for him to win Drusilla back. I'm only on season three as I said... and I also said that there are SEVEN seasons.

Whatever.

However, there are many common themes in Buffy that can be related to past literature. And Buffy is part of television history, being one of the most popular sci-fi teen-young adult shows in America.

The library only carries a number of seasons, so it's a slight upsetting that I can't keep watching from the beginning to the end. Unless I want to watch them online as I did for Desperate Housewives season four.

I guess it wouldn't be so bad.
