I'm rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer in its entirety for the first time, I'm at the beginning of season 5 at this point. Thoughts so far:
- season 3 is still amazing and the Mayor is my favourite main villain.
- it's as I suspected: now that I'm (sort of) an adult I relate much more to Buffy. I still adore Willow but I feel like I outgrew some of the things I recognised in her (which wasn't much to begin with, I've never been a meek exemplary student with a preference for fluffy pink sweaters)
- Some of the feminist and racial missteps are more disturbing than I recall, although maybe that's partly due to knowing about the Whedon scandal
- Faith <3<3<3
all she wanted was a cute blonde slayer gf and she deserved better and of course she did some very wrong things and I don't care
- To me, Helpless is still the hardest episode to watch in the first half of the series
- Now that I'm more invested in Buffy and her feelings I'm less annoyed by her relationship with Angel, but only for her sake. David Boreanaz' acting really doesn't help.
- I still think Dawn is great and an asset to the series and I will die on this hill
- If the Initiative plot didn't suck so much season 4 would be incredible. Also, the roommate drama episode hit different after my housemate troubles, and Hush is eerily reminiscent of the corona situation in some ways
