I can no longer wait. The time has come to finish this series. While I finish Season 7 of this classic television masterpiece I thought I'd go back and review the preivious six seasons. I'm not going to spend too much time detailing every aspect of these seasons, because I'm not really going back to rewatch them either, but I thought it woudl be fun to give my lasting impressions on some of the best television ever made. Some might say that's hyperbole but it's not. This show was unique and nothing has come close to replacing it (okay, maybe Veronica Mars but that's the only show I can think of).
Season One: The Beginning
This is an entertaining introduction to Buffy and her friends, Xander and Willow. You get to meet the Rupert Giles her Watcher and, of course, Angel. The explain what a Hellmouth is why Buffy must be there. The villian, The Master, isn't really very creative but he's serviceable. Basically this is a prologue season. It's developing characters and previewing what kind of show this is. It's a comedy but also a drama; it pokes fun at itself, while being driving by a strong story. But being 12 episodes long it's a short season that really is only that, a beginning. Grade: B+.
