dangermousieI am on my exciting (or not) Buffy rewatch. So far? Pilot episode, "Welcome to the Hellmouth."
* Xander. When he was still cute. How can you not like early BtVS Xander? In fact, early S1 was the only time I could see Buffy/Xander.
* I can't help it. While I can overcome seeing Willow as VM Logan's bitch sister, I cannot possibly disassociate Cordelia from the skank ho Kendall. In fact, I'd love to have a VM/Buffy cross-over where Cordelia goes to Neptune High (and is like Madison).
* Giles! Young looking Giles. He is adorable and a great Daddy figure (not yet) and I want a Giles of my own.
* The outfits and the hair are dated but nothing cracks me up as much as the make-up. Not only does Buffy wake up with blue eye-shadow already there, but she has more lipstick than Jackie does. Her mouth must be peeling off her face! But she herself is so endearing and I adore Buffy. I just want to smoosh her, though she could break my arms.
* Angel. It's kinda endearing how DB cannot act at all (he gets much better fast, but in WitH, he just says his lines). He is dead hot though, and I love how Buffy is checking him out. Also, I'd forgotten but he was a lot edgier and darker in S1 then subsequently.
* Darla! I remember watching "Roswell" and knowing she was up to no good because she is Darla.
* The dialogue just kills me, in a uniquely Joss way. I'd forgotten how brilliant it was. Favorite line? Jesse's "If you need a shoulder to cry on. Or to nibble on..."
* Xander. When he was still cute. How can you not like early BtVS Xander? In fact, early S1 was the only time I could see Buffy/Xander.
