Plus, she loves the humour, Anya's bunny phobia being a particular favourite.

I loved showing my brother what Buffy is all about when he was 8....rewatching with him hes 10 now...and he full on was into it all.

I love that...i was 5 when i saw it for the first time so imagine me with my cushion watching it.

So many memories have been made with this show and since

ANd yeah, bless your daughter experiencing it all for the first time...brilliant stuff

She loved Buffy, and declared after watching the pilot that the Disney show was a rip off!

I can't wait to do this with my kids! They are too young just yet. But can't wait

[Josh Pinder]

theyll love it.

Fantstic nostalgia trip for you and getting them into the first expierence of it.

Its kinda a generational show...into every generation more Buffyverse fans are born

cannot wait to read the season 9 graphic novels! i know its not a patch on the show itself but its continuation and i love thinking they are still out there erm...slaying!

Inca Mummy girl!

Absolutely love that one How did you find School Hard with the introduction of Spike and Drusilla? CLASSIC!

[Josh Pinder]

re-watched Earshot yesterday!

An absolute classic! I always loved the way Jane Espenson mixed the comically dark humour with realistic overtones tbh.

Mind you thats what i love about the show....you will be laughing hysterically one scene and bawling your eyes out the next and/or on the edge of your seat for the remainder

But Earshot....what a classic ad twisty episode too Always felt so bad for Jonathan ...but for the sake of Willow interrogation.....hells yeah

[Shawn_Lunn]

I love Earshot, such a great episode.

great minds again

And yeah it really is....and i love that the "monster" was only in two sequences basically too which i found interesting.

And that whatever Cordy thought was what she said aloud was hilarious!

Oh, very much a Cordy thing to do.

I loved her character, so much fun.

I love how different she was on Angel than how she was on Buffy...the way she progressed...again even more gutted she was "killed off" tbh

the Xander/Cordy relationship was hilariously intriguing....loved it and love rewatching it the sparks flying

I hated what they did to her in Angel, she lost all that fabulous wit. Such a waste.

I think that is my arguement too tbh...But she did adapt very well to new surroundings....but it was such a shame tbh

Everyone has to grow up sometime.

[Shawn_Lunn]

I disagree. I think Cordy was every bit as funny in Angel as she was in Buffy, she just grew as a character and Angel lacked something in it's last season without her. And no, Spike did not make up for it, at least not for me anyways.

[Josh Pinder]

What i loved about season 5 was that Spike/Angel kinda overshadowed a lot of the storylines in them selves with the subtexts etc.

And yes everyone has to "grow up" and i do love that Cordy adapted to her new surroundings and became an adult and matured....but i feel in season 4 with that storyline she was wasted and was so sad to have her leave tbh.

[Shawn_Lunn]

I don't mind Spike to a point but for me, I thought his inclusion in Angel's last season felt forced to be honest.

[FilliA]

I haven't seen season 5 of Angel yet, I re watched all of Buffy and had never seen any Angel so I thought it would be as good. Obviously it's not terrible or I wouldn't be watching it at all but when you get to the Joss Whedon written/directed episodes they show the others up . The memory loss episode for instance was really funnny but had all the strong emotional subtexts of a Buffy episode as well. I know Angel is a darker series but I missed the humour.Also the characters weren't as strong. Grue disappeared and no-one even asked Cordy where he went!

Baby Connor had just been snatched to a hell dimension, Wesley had just had his throat slashed after betraying his friends...but hey Cordy, how's your love life?

[FilliA]

Well yes- even if to make sure nothing had happened to him. He was in it a lot and then he just vanished.Surely someone would have mentioned it?

The relationship was tied up in the season 3 finale. He realises she loved Angel so he leaves LA.

He then makes a futher appereance in After the Fall.

[Jules 1]

I can't helping thinking about Andy Hallett, the actor who played Lorne, when anyone mentions Angel.

[Shawn_Lunn]

Loved Lorne, great character.

[Josh Pinder]

Lorne was a favourite character of mine on Angel....i was shocked when i read about the actors death tbh Even though he was demonic....i could totally relate a lot to him....which,again is what i love about the Buffyverse....you can sympathise and empathise with demons, witches, vampires etc.etc. Its that human/supernature effect i love! No show can match it with that!
