I'm so glad I watched this show dude

So, I started watching Buffy because my favourite YouTuber made a 50 minute long video about why Xander fucking sucks assssss so I decided to give the show a watch

And my god, it is so good.

My favourite things so far? Its an amazing soap opera with a flawlessly dynamic cast. All of them have the right traits and personal conflicts to keep this turning at an enjoyable and ever evolving pace (except Riley, I think he's boring as all hell)

But my favourite favourite favourite thing? Spike. I've just finished Fool For Love and I think that episode is my favourite, not because it's perfectly paced and made like the Zeppo but because its characterisation of Spike is Flawless story telling

For me, the line that really gets to me is "when was the last time you had a fight you wasn't sure you were gonna win?" And that thrill, that attraction towards his death is what keeps him sticking to Buffy who is condemned to that fate. That's sooooo good and unexpected without being out of nowhere either

Also, I would die for Will and Tara
