So I'm eight episodes into Season One, and loving every minute of it. I had forgotten how fantastic Buffy really is.

The odd thing is, I think I've become more of a coward since I started watching it. In the olden days I never got frightened, but now I'm constantly jittering and on edge. During "Never Kill a Boy on the First Date", for example, I was just always fretting about Owen. Damn those expendable supporting characters >>;;

Drusilla was, for me, hands down the best guest character in the whole thing. She was so maniacal, so hilarious, so insane; she never failed to send a shiver up my spine. I especially remember feeling so sad for her when we found out about her terrible past; Angel sort of tortured and killed her family. There are lines that came from that mad woman that I will never forget: "I can see the stars!", "I'm ringing, ringing, ringing all over!"

She is simply unforgettable. Oh! I also loved Darla in the...seven episodes she lived to see.
