My Buffy.

We watched 'Halloween' tonight and - as usual - it was wonderful and fun. There's even early Spuffiness in the way both Spike and Buffy neglect their lovers in favour of studying their opponents. But... as always I find that although early Buffy is lovely, I don't love her as much as I do later. And as we are almost through S5 in our re-watch I can now see exactly where the change occurs - it's when Joyce gets ill and Buffy has to take over as the adult, keeping things together. That's my Buffy. From mid-S5 and until the end, that's the girl my heart breaks for, more than S2 Buffy who has to kill Angel.

These are purely gut-reactions, but I think it has probably a lot to with the switch from child to grown-up. And probably why I also love AtS so much.

Anyway, I should go to bed... Love to you all! *hugs*
