(Also, Jenny's death is the saddest death of any death ever. It is exquisitely tragic. It will stomp your soul into tiny little pieces. Possibly Fred's is equally as traumatic, but oh, nobody crushes souls with their mercilessness like Joss Whedon. NOBODY. Like, it's crazy-sad that SpyDaddy and Nadia died, but in terms of how the actual deaths were handled? No competition. JJ does not know how to bring on the pain like Joss. He's young yet.)
So, if I am to understand this poll...you've never watched Buffy and are watching it now for the first time and you're up to somewhere in season 2?!?
Wow...that is so exciting! BtVS is my favorite show EVER! I love it with all my heart even though when I first saw it I labeled it a "stupid teen show" (I was a teen too...that's the funny). I would love to read your thoughts on it as you go along!
A new Buffy fan always makes my heart leap for joy. :) I kind of envy you in a way that you're getting to experience it all fresh. In my humble opinion, there are no shows as good as Buffy on currently. I miss that show sooooo much.
I just started Friday and now I'm in the middle of Season Two and I kind of want to stop because people have warned me of the death and destruction to come!
I really, really loved the first three seasons of BTVS.
I enjoyed the fourth and fifth seasons more than not.
The sixth and seventh seasons -- uh-uh.
I wrote tons of fic for this (and for Angel, which I loved for a full four seasons), then had my Bitter Crazy Fandom Breakup with it (I think many of us eventually have one) and now I leave it severely alone. Which is sort of my long way of saying, if there's a BTVS filter, I would remain off it.
And though I loved Jenny and know that you will continue to do so, you're not going to love her anything like Nadia and SpyDaddy. I sense this.
Oh, no no no. My love for her does not even approach my love for Nadia or Daddy. Just, acording to my sources, the way her death is gruesomely presented, that is what's going to slay me. Poooor Miss Calendar!
You're making me CHOOSE between everyone in S2? Evil! Pure evil! I love them ALL! Buffy, before she got bitchy! Willow, when she was cute and dorky! Xander, before he was self-righteous! Angel, when he learned to speak with more than monosyllables! Giles, before he was a bad-ass! And OZ! OOH, how I love me some Oz.

I did an icon post awhile back! But there's spoilers up to 2x14. And also some season four.

And Hannah was alerady forced to give me the gory details, so I get it. Just the presentation. Got it.
