Buffy re-watch (with the next generation)
About halfway through S2 now, keep meaning to write something...
So, Some Time Ago, Impish Girl (that's the 17 year old) said she'd quite like to watch Buffy. The 12 year old (13 on Sunday!) agreed and towards the end of the summer holidays we started watching. Tore through S1 v quickly, often watching two episodes a night, and they loved it rather. And it has to be said that S1 is a lot of fun! Also the characters are so well drawn and immediately relatable, that they loved them immediately.
We've taken S2 a bit more slowly, since they're back at school, but they are loving it. Special highlights was Willow's rant in Reptile Boy, Cordelia & Xander's smooches (the MUSIC!), Spike being awesome and Buffy's 'When I kiss you, I want to die' has yet to be bettered in their opinion, they found it HILARIOUS. Oh and they adore Giles (obviously), and Cordy, and loved the fact that in Bad Eggs (which we watched tonight), Angel literally does NOTHING except show up to smooch Buffy.
It's v enjoyable to re-watch btw. Like, Jonathan first pops up in Inca Mummy Girl (and nearly gets killed) and KEEPS popping up in teeny tiny little roles and every time I go 'Jonathan!' He's so tiny and just looks perpetually bewildered.
Ethan Rayne! Even more delightful than I remembered.
They ship Giles/Jenny like crazy (because they are terribly cute) and will be VERY CROSS if something happens to her.
Oh and Oz! ♥ That is such a beautifully slow build.
They really liked 'Ted' (the episode), tightly written, v well done.
OK, am now rambling. Miss M (the eldest, 19) joins us now and again, and her favourites are Buffy & Giles, and she also loves Cordy.

ETA: Seriously, what would you like? What image do you associate with me?

I thought it might be this one.

The headdesking is mostly at myself for giving in all the time.

I didn't know it was hellfire. That makes it x500 better!
And I can do a headdesk one if you like, sure.

Well, I assume that was the intent. Between the background and the classic standard demon font *eyebrow waggle*
And I can do a headdesk one if you like, sure.
Like I said, I need to think about it. This is an important icon. Want to get it right.

That does make sense...

Cool cool cool. ETA: I can do several different ones for you to choose from!

If you feel like it.

It's nice imagery, but entirely too innocent. Need something of Clara being evil.
