Great article in today's Nerdist: Fall in Love Again with the Romances of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER | Nerdist
Who doesn’t enjoy a good love story? You can try to deny it, but romance is often the crux (or at least an element) of any good story. And since August is National Romance Awareness month, we’re spreading the love and looking at one of our favorite stories, one that pairs the eclectic nature of romance with a variety pack of horror and sci-fi elements. We’re talking Buffy the Vampire Slayer, of course!
Joss Whedon's opus magna acts as a ongoing capsule for the spectrum of romance humans (and those chosen few vamps and demons) can expect in a lifetime. And why wouldn’t the grandmaster of characters include romantic relationships of all kinds, since love is a gold mine for developing characters and plots. Scientifically speaking, there’s a plethora of studies that suggest romance is universal and complex. Even the very definition of love eludes us–but that won’t stop us from enjoying timeless creative representations of romantic relationships. Join us as we explore the main romances from our favorite Scooby gang–Buffy, Xander, and Willow. Giles isn’t included this time, but we do acknowledge his greatest loves, Jenny Calendar and Olivia Williams.
Why didn't they include Giles?! 🙁
