This episode is long after I decided to not bother watching in order to have my girlfriend be happy. I am glad to see this confirmation that I had made the right decision all those years ago.
It's a great episode if you've watched everything that led up to it. But it's a terrible choice to just randomly jump in. But that wasn't your choice. You literally gave the fans what they wanted.
I really liked it back in the day, but it has aged badly. Cheesy humor and action schlock.
so i love this show, and I think you have to understand the arc of it. This was a show aimed at young people, and the first season was noted as an interesting midseason replacement that had potential. Then season 2 blew everyone away, but its definitey one where you "grew up" with the characters and have to be able to vibe with the hip "high school" drama vibe.
I loved Buffy. It is not as great in a rewatch. Somethings seem predictable and like so many other shows because Whedon was copied so much. I can forgive some of the over-the-top characters. I do it in Star Trek also. The android that shows emotions but everyone in the episode acts like he does not. Q who the characters say he is omnipotent but clearly never is. The bad humor. Buffy has all these also. The sci fi mumbo jumbo in ST is similar to the myth/ cultic mumbo jumbo in Buffy. You cannot take either too seriously. The characters that really have not aged well. It is all there in both. I like both but I can see why some especially those not watching a lot of TV at that time would not like it. But then again I am the one who is so tired of the same predictable grey anti heroes that we have today. I like watching LOTR and the original Star Wars movies because there was real good. Tired at how everyone is just grey and it is not their fault that they are so evil. ughh.
I always liked the movie more I couldn't get past the third season of the TV show but even getting that far was work. I probably wouldn't have seen that far if I wasn't in a relationship with somebody who loved the show
I thought the movie was much, much better, the acting and actors better, and it was not so teen-angsty WB. Thoroughly enjoyed the movie. There was too much WB imprint on the series to get anything good. Ain't Nobody Go Time For That.
…Seriously? I mean, you’re entitled to your opinion, but scholars and directors/actors literally praise the tv show, while the movie is almost universally disliked. Like I said, to each their own. But you don’t sound like someone who’s ever actually watched the full series.
I think this show is an acquired taste … took me years to finally watch … rather pay attention to iit and get hooked .At the time I regarded this as my sisters show … I had DS9 and she had this … I was like 20 .. she was 8 . Is it campy … yes … but a fun show to watch ( including the spin-off)
First one to watch … who else is gonna be up at 2am lol
I'm glad I bought a McRib.
