I love Buffy to pieces but when I think of BtVS, I think of the oldest episodes, the ones where they were free spirits in high school. After season 3, the show was different, the storylines always had hidden meanings and the seasons seemed so dark and didn't have as many stand alone episodes in. It's probably me not wanting to grow up even though I act older than my age most of the time. Buffy grew up. That changed the show forever. I was a true fan to BtVS 6 years ago when I first started watching Season 2, it was only 2 years ago I got back into it because I knew Buffy was going to die... again! As much as I rant on, in 20 years time I can tell all the little kids that Buffy The Vampire Slayer was a great TV show and, although was ended, still lives on. Buffy is Buffy and I wouldn't say I have any problem with any storylines- Buffy's not a soap opera where things are predictable, Buffy lives in a world of constant change, something we sometimes can't deal with.
