Hi, I just started watching Buffy. I'm a huge Farscape fan and had heard comparisons. I've been looking for a good show (Babylon 5 was a huge disappointment; I like BSG quite a bit, but not with the same emotional hook).

I was in law school when Buffy first came out. I didn't have time to watch tv and never got into it the few times I saw it. Frankly, I thought it was a bit silly (please don't hate). Then when it came on Hulu I gave it a chance, got immersed, and now I'm totally hooked. I love the pathos and the forced family aspect (very similar to Farscape there).

I'm nearing the end of Season 6 on DVD. It's killing me. "Normal Again" and "Once More with Feeling" are right up there with "The Choice" (my favorite Farscape ep). The way they decided to stick together and move forward but make the awful (but honest) choices is astounding. It's odd how these fantasy and sci-fi shows are so much more honest than the usual dren on TV.

Thanks for letting me in.
 
Hey and welcome to the board! 😀 CONGRATS on finding the Buffyverse- you're going to love it. 🙂 Hope you enjoy your time here on the boards!
 
Great list of shows, you'll find lots of us here love the same stuff... hope you stick around and get yourself into a dorm too
 
Hi bwilli18! :welcome:Glad you've finally found us. And no hate because of your initial feelings for the show. It starts right there with the name... But as you've noticed, once you get into it you realise how great it is. If you want to get to know some members a little better getting a dorm is a good idea. The Sorting Tome And if you feel that you might need a little guidance on the boards don't be afraid to ask anyone for help or maybe get an "official" helper by getting adopted, Bad Eggs

Happy posting!
 
Welcome to the boards, i hope you like both the boards and the show 😀
