30 Day Buffy the Vampire Slayer Challenge Day 30

New challenge!

Day 1: Favorite Season - Season 2



I pretty much like all the seasons, but after thinking about it, I had to go for season 2. There's just....woah. Angel becoming completely badass. Damn, that is just amazing. Plus the introduction of Spike! He's always so funny. And Drusilla. Utterly mad, but I'm in love with her costumes. Then of course we have the introduction of Oz, and I always think it's so cute when he notices Willow, especially in her adorable eskimo costume! We also find out that Giles is not so innocent, and personally, Giles when he's not so stuffy librarian is just awesome. First Halloween episode! With Willow looking adorkable in her ghost costume, and smoking hot in that other costume (I don't know what she was meant to be, but who cares!). And of course, Xander. He thought of a brilliant idea, and got Buffy a rocket launcher! Plus, Kendra. I actually like her accent.

Day 2: Favorite Episode - Once More With Feeling



I just love this episode! The singing, oh the singing. So much fun My favourite song has to be Under Your Spell. A friend and I hope that we can one day go to that park and generally mess around

I LOVE Willow and Tara's dresses. I can't decide which one I like the most, but I do adore Tara's corset. And oh, the feels when she finds out what Willow's done to her memories

Anthony Stewart Head, oh Gods do I love his singing voice. Find him on Youtube singing from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, he's amazing (and dressed so NOT like Giles )

Day 3: Favorite Song Used In An Episode - Under Your Spell



And yup, as I mentioned on Day 2, this is my favourite song It's so cute and pretty, and haha, it's naughty

Day 4: Favorite Female Character - Willow Rosenberg



Ahhhhh, Willow. I love Willow so much. Adorkable Willow with her long hair and crazy clothes which would not work if anybody else wore them, but she makes them look so cute. She's had a really cool character progression too. The whole Dark Willow thing was amazing - she makes an excellent big bad. Plus, Vampire Willow. Woah. And when Willow had to wear Vampire Willow's clothes, that is just hilarious.

I love her hair. I quite like the wavy style she had in Season 5, but I think the cutest would have to be the long hair in Season 1.

Day 5: Least Favorite Female Character - Maggie Walsh



Seriously, what the F was her deal? She was really creepy, and I'm pretty sure she was some kind of crazy. It was so funny when she pissed off Giles, and when he got turned into a demon he chased her down the street. Heck yes, Giles!

Day 6: Favorite Male Character - Giles



I love Giles. He's so much fun. I like librarian Giles, but I also like cool Giles. He kinda...grows a lot during the series. He makes a great father figure to the characters. I also love it when he's sarcastic. And man, Band Candy Giles

Day 7: Least Favorite Male Character - Riley



Urgh, Riley. I'm not even totally sure why. I mean, I liked him and Buffy. She got a mostly normal relationship....but he just didn't rub well with me. Season Four, he was okay. You could see he really loved Buffy, and even though he knew she could take care of herself, he still wanted to be there to help her. He even cut that chip out of himself with a piece of glass to save her. But Season Five, he got douchey.

Day 8: Favorite Friendship - Buffy, Willow and Xander



I just love the original Scoobies! There's just a great chemistry between each of them. Awh, and Xander with his forever crush on Buffy. Plus Willow's crush on Xander.

Day 9: Favorite Romance - Willow and Tara



Absolutely HAS to be Willow and Tara. They're just so sweet! Their kiss in The Body was really well done. I think that there are a lot of TV shows who are like 'hey, lesbians, let's make a huge deal about them kissing'. This wasn't a huge deal, and it made it that much better.

Day 10: Least Favorite Season - Season 8



Season 8 counts right? I mean, not that it isn't good. The artwork is beautiful. It just doesn't draw me in as much as the TV show does, even though I like to read comic books. The storylines are good, it just misses something special when you don't have the actors playing their characters.

Day 11: Least Favorite Romance - Buffy and Parker



Urgh, what a major sleazebag Parker was. I guess this happens though. You can meet someone you think is really great. Then things happen, and you find out what a total jerk they are. It was so brilliant when Willow confronted him, and when Riley punched him (even though I don't like Riley that much).

Day 12: Least Favorite Episode

Argh, I've been thinking but I just don't know. There's not really an episode I can think that I didn't like.

Day 13: Favorite Potential Slayer - Amanda



The Potentials didn't really make much of an impact on me really, but I quite liked Amanda. She was funny, and kind of geeky.

Day 14: Favorite Female Villain - Dark Willow



Oh god do I love Dark Willow. I think an enemy is more interesting when they're someone who knew you best as a friend. They know how you fight, they know your weaknesses. It was so sad when Tara died though, but gosh did Willow get her revenge in an amazing way. The final scene with Xander is so heart breaking

Day 15: Favorite Male Villain - Spike



Hah, Spike. Oh boy. Villain or hero, he's hilarious. I like him as both. It's kinda interesting too...unlike Angel he did actually make a choice to be good(ish). At first it was the chip that was stopping him, but he actually chose to get his soul. Didn't stop him from being totally awesome though

Day 16: Episode You Like That Everyone Else Hates

None, I think

Well Beer Bad somewhat. Coz of Willow and Xander, like I mentioned in the comments.

Day 17: Character You Relate To The Most - Willow



Yeah, who else was it going to be really? I think this is why Willow's my favourite character.

So the basics. At school I was really shy and tried not to get noticed. I was bullied a lot, and I spent a lot of time in the library. I even started working in the library once a week during my final two years at school. Heck, I managed to get a work experience placement at the local college's library too.

Day 18: Character Who Didn’t Get Enough Screen Time - The Anointed One/Colin



He kinda interested me. I read that he was meant to be the big bad of season 2, but because he was growing, they decided to scrap that idea. However, as cool as season 2 was, I think it would have been interesting to have a young baddie. I think Buffy would have had trouble killing a kid, even if he was evil.

Day 19: Character You Like That Everyone Else Hates

I don't think I like a character that most people hate.

Day 20: Best Spike-centric Episode - School Hard



It has to be School Hard. Our first introduction to Spike. That Welcome to Sunnydale sign...that's become a sign of Spike returning. His lines are just brilliant, his whole attitude is so fun. "You were my sire, man! You were my ... YODA!"

Day 21: Best Willow-centric Episode - Doppelgangland



Vampire Willow. Oh my. Alyson just looked so gorgeous. Plus the quite sexy dialogue between Willow and Vampire Willow.

Haha, when Buffy, Xander and Giles thought Willow was dead, and then she just walks into the library.

"I'm a blood-sucking fiend! Look at my outfit!"

Day 22: Best Xander-centric Episode - The Replacement



Two Words: SNOOPY DANCE

Also it was a really good episode.

Day 23: Two Characters You Wanted To Get Together That Never Did - Anya and Andrew



Couldn't find a good picture But yeah, I couldn't think of anybody and even though I don't think they would have worked, they would have been a funny couple. They really seemed to get on well at the end of Season 7, and they're both quite crazy. Wheelchair fight!

Day 24: Favorite Example of 90s Special Effects - Cobra

Anybody remember that Cobra from Shadow in Season 5? Yeah, that was pretty bad.

Day 25: Favorite Buffyverse Saying - Scooby Gang



Day 26: Favorite Scooby Moment - The Earth is Doomed



I could only find a clip of the one from Season 7, but close enough

Day 27: Cutest Moment - Family

When everybody (except Spike) stood up for Tara in Family, that was just.....d'awwwwh. Makes me teary.

Day 28: Character You Love To Hate - Glory



Glory was annoying, whiny, a total bitch, but she was awesome. Wow. She was powerful. She was one of Buffy's hardest villains. And she was a FREAKING GOD. That was an interesting twist.

Day 29: Episode You Hate That Everyone Else Loves

I don't overly hate any of the episodes.

Day 30: What You Think Made Buffy So Great

Boy....So many things. Top of the list would be the characters. It doesn't matter how good a script is....you need actors who can pull it off, otherwise a good script will turn into a bad episode. It really works that you have characters who you can relate to. You can't relate to the Slayer part of Buffy, but you can relate to Buffy as a human.

Plus it was a fricking awesome show. I really don't get why the networks didn't seem to appreciate it that much.
