Buffy: Choose Your Own Adenture, Part 2

Angelus: Now that’s everything, huh? No weapons… No friends…No hope. Take all that away… and what’s left?
Buffy: Me.


Last week, we discussed creating our own themed Buffy marathons. I suggested a Buffy-Saves-The-World-athon, a mistaken identites set, and the Xander-is-hapless-in-love episodes. This week, we’ll look at some of your suggestions.

Don’t forget that the live blog/group view of “Graduation Day, Parts 1 and 2″ will be this Sunday evening, July 15th, 8:30pm EST. That will close out our season 3 recap series.

I have to add “Where the Wild Things Are” to the Giles set, too. It’s the only other episode, besides OMWF, where Giles sings, and all the girls get all swoony, just like me. I love, LOVE when Giles sings. I even bought ASH’s album, which was really bad, but I just love his voice. *le sigh*
