Watching Buffy
Mar. 5th, 2009 11:00 amI'm down with a throat infection of some kind. Mildly annoying: slightly dizzy, sore throat, difficulty talking, but no major symptoms.
However, being a bit too wobbly to do what I really want to do, I'm sitting down and rewatching Buffy.
Some of it stands up very well. This time around, I find I'm appreciating Xander and Cordelia a lot more. Xander is far better looking than I recalled (why on Earth did I ever think Angel was the bee's knees?), and Cordy is a wonderful character whose chemistry with Xander leaves Buffy and Angel standing.
(My favourite Cordelia moment is still the one in 'Slayerfest' where she has no weapon at all and bluffs a vampire into running away from her.)
I'm looking forward to Westley reappearing as I carry on forwards. I hated him originally, but really got to like him in 'Angel' and I'm now wondering if that will change my opinion of him in 'Buffy'.
