A while back, the Canadian cable channel Space aquired the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer and they began showing it all the time. I had never watched this show and I kind of resented how it took over the whole schedule, so I kind of boycotted the show just on principle.
Then they had a Buffy marathon on Monday, the Victoria Day holiday.
I had the tv on, not intending to watch anything, just had it on while I did other things. And I had it tuned in to the Buffy marathon. Big mistake. I started watching it a bit. It was the 'best' shows as chosen by the fans. Next thing I know, I've watched like five episodes and I'm totally engrossed in this thing. They chose the musical episode as number one, and I must say, it was pretty good. Number two was one called "Hush", with this freaky ghouls trying to steal people's hearts [literally] and everybody had laryngitis [? they couldn't talk] It was really cool. And funny.
So I'm hooked. I've been watching the show every night since and I'm thinking of collecting the DVDs. The really stupid thing is, the day I got wired on this show, is the day they aired the final episode. So that's it for the series, there won't be any more new shows. Talk about coming late to the party, sheesh.
