guys, so i'm 11 episodes into buffy season 1 and seriously i am quitting. This shit is stupid. Seriously the humanizing aspects of the show (relationships and such) are few and far between and it's really not smart and i'm sorry but it definitely did not stand the test of time. And maybe this is just a season 1 thing but seriously very rarely do i not care what is going to happen on a season finale, but i have one episode left of this show and i could give 2 shits. As i was watching though some stuff seemed really familiar and i remembered that i had watched 1 or 2 episodes when it first started and i remember thinking it was lame and it turns out that 10 years later i agree with myself.
My big beef is that it's that genre of serialized show where each episode is self contained but then answers some overarching theme question. these types of shows tend to bore me like CSI and law and order and shit like that. What is there to make me keep watching on a weekly basis? And i finally realized what show it kind of reminded me of. It reminded me of Veronica Mars in the sense that it has that format but overall V. Mars is like a WAYYYYYY more awesome show and is smart and i actually care what happens to the characters and some of the plots were stupid but it was such an awesome show that i didn't even care! THAT is the mark of a good show. I mean i couldn't even relate to the nerdy Willow, which never happens! i always relate to the nerdy reject girls! And i could make some broad statement about not liking shows that have to do with supernatural things, but that is a lie because i really liked smallville. ugh just whatever. and fuck, i really love the buffy movie.
so in conclusion here is what I have learned about myself.
1. there are buffy people and non-buffy people. I am not a buffy person.
2. I am not as inconsistent as I think myself to be.
**** if someone can convince me of why i should keep watching this show given my above feelings I am open to starting the show up again and giving it a shot. But for now i'm gonna spend my time watching "Rescue Me."

totally acceptable for you to quit, i can accept that perhaps i am a buffy person & you aren't, but you should totally try season 2 out. the finale of season 1 is totally anticlimactic and kinda lame. so try season 2, and forgive the emo-ness of the first episode. i swear it gets good. but again, if you don't want to that's cool too.
