Quote: I'm Not Mister Mxypltk said: I think everyone of my favorite shows I started watching at the middle. I started watching Buffy steadily halfway through the third year. You like Star Trek. Did you start by watching the first episode?
Eventually, yeah.
I didn't start with the first episode, but eventually I got to see both the first two episodes.
I didn't like the first season of TNG because it wasn't TOS but in time I grew to like it, DS9 and Voyager.
See, once you start to like something, things like continuity don't matter anymore.
If you don't really like something then things like continuity will always be a problem.
As a Buffy fan that you are, I'm sure that when in a recent episode of Angel Spike mentioned his past in Sunnydale you smiled because you knew what he was talking about.
For someone that never saw Buffy, it was just a throwaway line that didn't mean anything.
Comics are like a Rorschach test; everyone has a different opinion on what they are and can be...
