Xander: Buffy, this isn't just about looking at a bunch of animals. This is about not being in class!
Buffy: (brightens) You know, you're right! Suddenly the animals look shiny and new.
Xander: Gotta have perspective.

[Fandom Discussions]

• 
• It bothers me that during the six months (was it that long, I don’t remember) that Buffy was dead no other slayer was called upon. by curiouslymyown
• It was really funny how much everyone freaked out about Dawns shoplifting 😅 by ohlioness
• I think we as a fandom don’t talk enough about how utterly TERRIFYING the initiative is from the demons perspective: by bewitchedbewilderedandbefuddled
• Sure, "Beer Bad" is not a particularly good episode of Buffy, by marxistlesbianist
• I will NEVER fault dawn for a single action on the show. by buffyseasonsix
• I said before that I didn't think Buffy was all that scary and tbh I still don't think it is by actuallyjamesagarfield
• in any other universe the btvs pilot would signal a tortuous series-long angel/buffy/xander love triangle by happyccino
• Stupid question, but what time do we think the Angel Investigations crew was rolling into the office? by anathemagerminabunt-blog
• i do think it could have been interesting to see buffy with an actual regular person love interest. by xaeyrnofnbe
• I swear to god, I had a Buffy book when I was younger that confirmed the lyric “walk through the fire and let it burn” (“Walk Through the Fire,” Once More, with Feeling, the Buffy musical) is a reference to “walking through fire without a burn” (“I Should Tell You,” RENT). by in-a-faradaze
• I know that the dialogue style was, like, the Buffyverse’s Signature Thing, and it was considered really fresh and unique at the time, and all that, and while watching it 25 years or so on definitely lessens that impact, it is still good. by benisasoftboi
• obsessed with everyone's attitude shift towards spuffy in s7 actually. by mangio-formaggio
• I finished season 4 of Angel last night and. . . wow. by dandelionsandderivatives
• lrb i think part of why angel doesn’t have as much in the way of big reinventions of its tone and format as buffy (with the exception of season 5 which i will get to) is that it doesn’t have as strong of a sense of identity as buffy does. by fancyhalloran
