BUFFY TIME!!

This is a first time watch for the both of us and was such 90s female lead badassery! We had so much fun time watching and I think we would both 100% enjoy this whole series.

Fingers crossed we don't have to watch Angel as well to get full context.

Alright was waiting for this ha! Pretty sure this one is gonna win.. Probably you should watch Angel, it's a good show, but it starts when Buffy begins Season 4 so it's a looooong way ahead 😆

Girl4Music

Dear god I hope this pilot wins. I’d love to watch your Buffy reactions as well as Xena.

I'd say this is probably the most rewarding show to watch all the way through! The first season is a bit goofy, but it gets better and better as it goes.

BUFFY!..the bacchae slayer ;) You guys are right, I'd say the Vampire lore mostly fares on the classic side, but there are a few big show specific things. The first season is fun but very uneven trying to find its footing... luckily its only 12 episodes. Season 2 onwards, its such a great show and such a great companion piece to Xena. Also, easy on Cordelia lol...you might warm up to her.

mary smith

Also, you dont have to watch Angel when watching buffy. But Id say there are probably 5-6 crossover episodes that you should watch though to understand character motivations.

I definitely understand talking over some scenes, maybe captions can help, at least maybe catch a particular line? Not sure if the reading would be too distracting. Buffy is a fun watch and would love to see it on the channel! It’s a bit longer than Xena as far as seasons, but not too bad. Still campy but also heavy at times, some emotional episodes, and some great characters.

This is the best of the series you have listed, in my opinion... you said no spoilers but then asked about the lore and Angel 😆 and all the other creatures of our nightmares... ugh.. and you need to watch the 2nd episode cause it's a 2 part pilot so you are missing half the pilot, cmon... anyway, that's my 2 cents... and you do not HAVE to watch Angel alongside Buffy, but it is helpful to at least watch the crossover episodes if possible, butbits a good show too... darker than Buffy, though Buffy gets very dark itself the last couple seasons... Buffy is the best of these pilots, but I do like the ghost whisperer series... my son loves supernatural but it is too scary for me... the rest, I've never watched a single episode of so yeah... can not comment on them except most are not my cup of tea... I lean towards DC and Marvel series like Arrow - which is great and dark and funny, talk about great pilots - and Supergirl - which takes about 5 episodes before Melissa Benoist stops waaaay overacting... but it has Callista Flockhart - oh a series you should watch - Ally McBeal!!! Sooo good... anyway, Callista plays Cat Grant on Supergirl and is superb... and Chyler Leigh (Lexie from Grey's Anatomy) plays Supergirl's foster-sister and is great at it too... butbi like fantasy shows like Bitten (mostly werewolves and is a short series) an The Originals (my favorite, sigh, show, I LOVE it...) which takes 2 episodes to get the basis of the show but its a spinoff of The Vampire Diaries but is a much darker show and soooo much better - witches and vampires and werewolves and hybrids, sooo good....

Originally, the first two episodes aired together. I would say watching only part 1 is only half the pilot. Buffy is a fantastic show. The characters and their growth is amazing. The dialog is top-notch and "Buffy-speak" was a cultural phenomenon that has had a lasting impact on English. I do hope y'all decide to watch this one next, but if not, it really should be on your list. You won't regret it.

Amiee Stahlman

It's true. The first season is super campy, but there are still many great episodes, even for those who don't dig the camp.

So what we’re gathering is… you guys love Buffy 🤣 We also had no idea the “Pilot” was a 2 parter. So sorry about that!! -Hunter

Xena and Buffy together would be ideal. They aired at the same time, with the first season of Buffy starting during the second season of Xena. And they were the first two shows with empowered "super hero" women since Wonder Woman in the 1970s. And you can see that Buffy occasionally took some inspiration from Xena, although Buffy became more famous - there were books and college courses that featured Buffy's use of metaphor, its social commentary, use of language, etc. Xena deserved the same, but alas. Anyway, they are two of my most favorite shows ever. Long-winded way of saying, I vote for Buffy.

Leslie M

It seems like you might not be aware that Buffy started as a movie made about five years before the TV series, with a bunch of Hollywood names in it. It's not a movie I would recommend, btw. To me, it feels like a fun idea that the studio bureaucracy beat most of the life out of. The series is infinitely superior. But references in the pilot to things that happened to Buffy before she moved to Sunnydale go back to that movie, which was where she first learned she was the Slayer, that she had to fight the forces of darkness, etc. As I recall, there aren't a lot of those references after the pilot, except generically that she used to live in Los Angeles and that being the Slayer caused her problems there.

HiCo

I really hope you pick Buffy. It's the show credited with changing the way TV shows are made and will sit alongside your Xena reactions perfectly. I think you can enjoy it without watching Angel just fine tbh unless you really like the characters who go over to it... If this pilot feels like you should know a bit of backstory it is because there was originally a Buffy movie with a different actor playing her. The lore is a bit different between the movie and show and the two don't fit together great, however the basic premis of the movie sets up the show. A teenage girl obsessed with socialising, cheerleading etc gains powers to fight the vampires. She has a mentor figure who helps train her to fight, who gets killed and there is a big fight with the vampires at the old school in LA. As far as the show is concerned something along those lines has occurred, she got expelled and so her mum has moved her to this small town for a fresh start and you've seen how well that is going...

HiCo

Also I have been in love with Willow ever since first watching this show when it originally aired.

2 Girls 1 Episode

Well we definitely appreciate the lore behind things because that’s our only concern at this point is… neither one of us knows anything about this series so it’s nice to have you guys let us in on some info about it!! -Hunter

Girl4Music

Xena never had that deep metaphorical shtick to it. That’s probably why. It had philosophy but it was all to do with Ancient Greek or religion/spirituality. I don’t think a lot of people that watch Buffy would be into that but anyone who watches Xena would be into Buffy since so much of it is based off of Xena and what they accomplished as far as female and WLW representation.

Girl4Music

Same here. Willow is such a fascinating character. I’m so glad Alyson Hannigan got to play her. They were originally going to go with someone else that they used in the rough cut pilot but she was nowhere near suited to the character she needed to be.

2 Girls 1 Episode

I did know it was a movie first its just not one that I have seen, but does make sense that there would be more lore in that movie. I would have thought they would have reiterated stuff from the movie in the tv show so there were no gaps, assuming not everyone would have seen the movie. - Tash

Bud Haven

I'm a bit late to your Buffy reactions but I'm looking forward to catching up!

2 Girls 1 Episode

you arrived right on time, they are going to start ramping up :) - Tash
