whedonesque
So this is the post where I admit that over the past year I've become a big Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan. I started watching at the beginning of Season Six and got hooked, and have watched most of Seasons Two through Five in syndication.
Last night was the premiere of Season Seven, which I enjoyed, although guardedly. The rebuilding of the high school, and the recycling of old enemies (or at least their appearance) may be signs of creative bankruptcy. But on the other hand, I trust the folks at Mutant Enemy, and they've yet to leave me disappointed.
Early speculation on the season is flying around like mad in this thread over at Whedonesque. If you go over there you can see something I wrote about Spike's hairstyle, of all things.
Further reading: check out this interesting New York Times profile on Whedon (use username invisible-city and password reader if you're not registered in their system).
"Over time, the show's mythology has become as rich and multilayered as any work of literature -- eternally complicating its own notions of morality, allowing characters to grow up in a way rare for television and generating enough internal allusions to fuel its own media-studies department."
Grading update: 79 finished, 521 to go. Labels: media commentary |
