I never watched it - I think it was just on at a bad time for me, so I never got into it. But I knew a lot of people who did.

I'm wondering if there is a recent uptick because it seems they're reporting on something that's been true for well over a decade and isn't exactly new. The conversation following it is fascinating though.

BTW have you seen this clever video, "Why you should watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer"? (voiced by the same person doing the Buffy in HD analysis vids): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYPF0hgPjzY&ab_channel=PassionoftheNerd

There are major universities that have funded 'Slayer' studies and DW studies on the fundamentals and underlying themes of these shows...fascinating!

Wouldn't it be wild if The Doctor dropped in on either of those two groups? lol... :o

My three younger teens ADORED Buffy and so I watched the series along with them. I liked it a lot.
