my new flatmate has the whole run of Buffy and Angel, so we've started a marathon that'll probably go for a few months.

observations so far: Buffy is much hotter in the first season, crap though it is. i think it's that she's slightly chubbier and has 60's hair and dresses. Xander's character doesn't develop in the slightest from episode one onwards.

any other fans? (there must be). favourite episodes?

i think mine's Tabula Rasa, and the way Spike thinks he's Giles' son, and how heartbreakingly sad it is at the end.
