So, as the title says: Hi. I'm new here. I've read some conversations on the site before, but this is the first time I'm actually posting here. I hope to make it a regular thing. I've been wanting to join some sort of message board and decided "I love Buffy, why not a Buffy board?" So, I made an account, and here we are. I'm not sure what else to say here, so I'll just give my basic history with Buffy.

I was aware of the show's existence for a period of time, but really couldn't say anything about it besides it featuring vampires. It didn't interest me that much and I didn't look any further into it. Earlier in the year though I was talking to a friend and he mentioned how much he liked the show and it was worth watching, so I ended up looking into it and decided to give it a shot. That wasn't until months later though when I got the first season on DVD and started watching it in late June. I enjoyed it, despite some flaws, and later got Season 2 which just blew me away with how good some of the episodes were. So I just kept buying the DVDs and spending all my free time over the course of this past July watching them until finishing them up late in the month. Loved the show and at this point call it my favorite show of all time.

My favorite character from the show is either Spike or Willow, I can't decide which. Willow I think is an overall better character, but I have a bit of a crush on Spike and have trouble not saying him. My favorite season is probably Season 3. My favorite episode is about impossible for me to say, but Passion still sticks out in my mind as one of the best.

I own the first season of Angel on DVD, but I haven't gotten around to watching it yet. I'm thinking about rewatching all of Buffy while watching Angel at the same time to make it like when the shows originally aired.

As ashamed as I am to admit this, I don't own much Buffy merchandise outside of the DVDs. All I own is the Season 8 Library Edition Volume 1 and The Origin graphic novel. I do plan on getting a lot more soon though.

So, tl,dr version: Hi, I'm new here. I'm a huge but semi-new Buffy fan who wanted to talk to some more fans of the series and hope to be active on here a lot.

Sorry if I messed up here on anything, as I said, this is my fist time posting here.
 
Hi Cannon!

It's nice to meet a new fellow fan. Nice backstory with your involvement in Buffy, I'll share mine with you. Long story short, just last year (Yes, I'm relatively new to the Buffyverse as well), my friend got me into the show, as it was her favorite show growing up. I watched it, some episodes with her, and it became my favorite show of all time as well.

My favorite character is Spike, but there are so many I love. Willow, Buffy, Xander, Oz, Giles, Doyle, Anya, Angel, and others. The characters just seem real to me and easily relatable.

As for Angel, I just watched the show after I finished Buffy, as to save time. Though, I just got my college roommate into Buffy so I've been watching the episodes with him.

So again, welcome, and feel free to PM me if you have any questions. Enjoy! 🙂
 
Hi there!
Welcome 🙂 I am not new to the boards but I do venture in and out. I have a pretty busy life so most the time I pop in and read new stuff but on the occasions I have some spare time I try to be more active.
Don't be ashamed of not owning more merchandise! I own both Buffy and Angel box sets and watch them both pretty religiously. I don't own any other merchandise either because I just don't have the extra money but if I did I would so have a huge collection of memorabilia.
Buffy is a huge part of my life. As silly as it sounds it saved me from a dark time in life and funny enough I am not the only person that feels that way! It has now become a comfort. If I am sick I turn not to chicken noodle soup but to Buffy! 😀

Hope to see you around the boards. It is always nice having someone new to discuss such an awesome character and world with. Have fun!
 
Welcome! Thanks for filling us in on your history. Season 3 is pretty much the BB favorite (that and S5 and S2) so you're not alone. S3 is my second favorite after S5. I kind of like Spike myself all in all (especially early Spike) but he's pretty controversial and divisive lol. I love Willow's gesticulations and especially her facial expressions. I can watch her and be entertained all day, even with the sound off.

Angel is terrific, and many would say it's an even better show than BtVS. I think it's consistently better, but the highs and peaks on Buffy reach greater heights. I'll be interested to hear your opinion of the Angel seasons.

Don't be a stranger and don't be afraid to share your feelings and thoughts!
