Well, my curious friend, let me tell you. If you think Buffy is about some ditzy blonde fighting monsters with her nerdy friends, you would be very, very wrong. It is a brilliantly written seven-season-long treatise on what it means to move from adolescent to adult. Creator Joss Whedon said once that the show is meant to convey that "Everybody who makes it through adolescence is a hero."
It is about honor, duty, sacrifice, friendship, redemption ...
Seriously, that is what the show is about. A show called Buffy the Vampire Slayer is about all those things. I cannot begin to tell you how much I love it.
I will try not to turn this into a Buffy blog, but I just have it on the brain lately!
'Do you think I chose to be like this? Do you have any idea how lonely it is? How dangerous? I would love to be upstairs watching TV or gossiping about boys or, god, even studying! But I have to save the world. Again.'
