In the Buff...

I might sound like a dork but if I'm cranky or upset about something I usually watch 'When She was Bad'... not that I get all bitchy and leave my friends to die (that often 😛) but I like how Buffy smashes the masters bones, kind of a good metaphor for smashing your problems.


Giles: Punishing yourself like this is pointless.

Buffy: It's entirely pointy. I was a moron. I put my best friends in
mortal danger on the second day of school.

Giles: What are you gonna do? Crawl inside a cave for the rest of your
life?

Buffy: Would it have cable?
 
i dunno...it's kinda hard to do this, 'cause people would pick thie fave eps and go 'Yep, that's so me.' my fave ep really doesn't reflect me at all.

maybe 'Potential'? finding out i'm not something all that great after all.
or 'Flooded' trying to live in the real world and finding out it's not as easy as it looks...can i go back to high school please?

Amen!
"Earshot"... now you all know what it's really like to be insane... JK JK!!

Actually, i think it was season 3 "Choices" Where Willow was kidnapped, and they were going to go ahead and do the spell instead of rescuing Willow, but the OZ totally f-ed the whole thing up so the had to save her. (lousy explanation, but i think you all follow). I don't so much think it's really about my life, but i can relate. There's no way I would risk someone I love to save the world. I'd rather die together than live alone.
 
Defintily...Passions. Because I cant ever seem to get away from the inner demons I have, or the out demons that our out there, my own mind screws me up. I always feel like I never have a moment of peace, that something or someone will always be there, following me, or there, telling me the wrong I did, and the punishment they want to conflict on me. I know it kinda sounds like im alil emo, and I'm really not, I guess I just don't really ever have a moment of peace, and then if I ever do, its short lived, and then something worse comes ahead, another reason for this episode though, is I always know theres light at the end of a dark tunnel. I know that no matter what, ill get through it with more knowledge even if ive lost a piece of myself in the process.

Big hug! We are kindred...
At this point in my life? Probably "What's My Line?" Just about to graduate college and I still have no idea what I going to do.

i feel your pain
I guess I had a "When She Was Bad" week. I can't explain it, but there was A week where I was a complete Bitca. Don't know where it came from...

And in the episode "Dead Man's Party", I understood Buffy. I felt like she felt, like running away again when things were bad. And Becoming, where Buffy has nothing to lose so she quits everything and leaves town. Oh, and Empty Places+Touched, the same thing.

And "The Body". I saw it and it was exactly like when my Iguana or my dog died. So I couldn't watch this episode for a very long time. It hurt too much.
 
Buffy in Once More With Feeling, singing on the outside and 'Going through the motions' while being torn inside.

That struck a chord with me because of a certain time in my life, thankfully thats not the present.

Yeah, the words to "Going Through the Motions" do resonate rather strongly at times, don't they? They did for me too...not sure if the whole ep fits well...I'm not much for the dancing and singing...😉. But the words to that song sure do hit the nail on the head.
 
i think there's a song in OMWF that resonates with everyone...or at least lyrics that we can all relate to.
Going through the Motions is a major one.
for me though, there are a lot of lyrics in Life's a Show that really hit me.
 
I
I love Eliza Dushku
I completely agree with the OMWF statement.
It would have to be 'Once More With Feeling' cause I'm a musician, the 12,786th member of Slipknot.

I play the electric triangle in a stretchy grey unitard.
 
"Beer Bad." 🙂 Because I party a lot, then I have to deal with the effects later on. IE: chugging a bottle of vodka in two minutes... then waking up the next morning.
 
"Going Through the Motions" also applies to me, because I am always singing and dancing around. I'm just really outgoing and crazy.

I'm sure there are others that I can't think of right now, haha.
 
Me In The Buff...

Without a doubt, I would be Xander in any episode where he tries for a normal date and ends up with one kind of demon or other. Like him, I waited a long time to meet my Anya, but the wait was worth it (and I wasn't stupid enough to walk out on the wedding!)
 
Definately Once More With Feeling for me. I sing out loud far too much for the liking of my friends, parents, random people who are in an elevator with me... :lmao:

But Going through the Motions and Life's a Show really do resonate with me.
 
Great discussion topic!

hard to answer though... I have lost of moments in Buffy that speak to me
as for a specific episode, can't really say, it depends what kind of day I'm having...
Right now I'm identifying a lot with Riley in season 5, in the way that I know how it feels to be in a relationship where you might care more about a person then they care about you...
but not quite, in my case I'm being toyed with and I'm working up the courage to end it, in that way maybe Tara can be my inspiration in Tabula Rasa...
