I had this really detailed and tl;dr post about my thoughts on the second half of Buffy S2 (short version: OMG I LOVE IT, Xander/Cordelia is too awesome for words, "Passion" was the first episode to make me cry, and "Becoming, Part II" is my favorite so far), but LJ ate it, and I am way too lazy too type it all up again. So I picspammed Drusilla instead. Spike and Dru are my favorite characters on Buffy, and apparently neither of them get substantial screen time in S3. *woe* Also, I think I love Dru too much to ever be a Spike/Buffy shipper. I know Spuffy becomes canon sometime in S5, which means sometime before then Spike and Dru have to break up, though I can't think of a reason that would cause them to split, seeing as Spike would probably move the Earth for Dru if she asked, and went up against freaking Angel to get her back (though I suppose Dru would be kind of pissed that Spike teamed up with Buffy to take down her sire. BUT THEY COULD TOTALLY WORK THAT OUT TOGETHER. THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO BREAK UP OVER IT). AUGH.

Juliet Landau is sooo pretty.

*is annoyed that LJ ate your post*

Have you seen any of S3 yet?

She is! At first I kept going back and forth between pretty and really weird looking, but I think the Dru love propelled me over to pretty, heh.

I haven't! But I've got the first five episodes on my hard drive and will be watching them within the hour. *g*

Hee, I think my favourite of the caps you chose is the last column, next to last row.

Awesome! You've got some good episodes ahead of you. Season of loaded subtext!

Oh, hey, you got any thoughts on Willow and Oz? :P

Oh I LOVE that cap! That one and the one in the third row, third column are my favorites. ♥

I've heard S3 is a lot of people's favorites, so I'm really excited. The only thing hampering my mood is the lack of Spike and Dru, but alas.

ADORABLE. As much as I loved Xander/Willow (until Xander/Cordy took over my mind, anyway. "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered" is one of my favorite episodes), I thought it was great that Willow found someone who loved her for her Willow-ness. :D

Yeah, it is. I think my season order is S5 or S6 the most followed by S2 or S3 in the middle and finished with some order of S1, S4, or S7 by default. But it's hard because I really like them all.

What is it about Whedon that makes everything so shippable? :P

And yeah, it's really great that Willow's found Oz. "I mock you with my monkey pants."

Oh, Spike and Dru. ♥ And yay for Xander/Cordy, they are so awesome. :D

I find it very amusing that Spike and Dru are the couple with the least Issues. At least before Angelus shows up and Spike gets all jealous and ends up backstabbing him so he can get Dru back for himself. *g*

Xander/Cordy! I was surprised by how well the writers made them work, to be honest. Alas, they probably won't last very long because I know Cordy goes off to Angel soon. *le sigh*

Never fear. I love Xander's later love interest (seriously, so awesome), though Cordy's romantic plots on Angel have never settled well with me. (Except with Doyle, who is awesome.) Well, anyway, you'll see. I'm so wary of saying something because I don't want to spoil you, but . . . at least for me, the show completely delivers up until the sixth season. (Oh, and there were some S4 bits that I didn't really care for, but even then I didn't ever dislike the show. And the awesome bits totally made up for the not-so-awesome bits.)

Wow, it's so weird to find someone discovering the joys of BtVS for the first time. This is one of my all-time favourite shows, and a life-changing one for me in that it was the first show which led me to seek out people who loved it as much as I did.

I think Becoming II is my favourite ep, although S3 is my preferred season (despite the yes, woeful lack of Spike and Dru).

I had a lot of doubts about Buffy, but I am SO glad I started watching because IT. IS. AMAZING. ♥

And I'm enjoying S3 a lot so far! Though I hear Spike and Dru break up later (WOE), the addition of Faith, and the plots and everything have just made it really good.

Aw, you'll see why they break up in S3. An episode of S5 will make you very unhappy, but another will make you SO HAPPY and will SO MAKE YOU START SHIPPING SPUFFY. I just know. I know.

S3 is awesome for other reasons, anyway. Reasons called Faith and Slayer Femmeslash and JJKHDGHIOIROIOSIDLKKS.

And the thing with the Jossverse is, you can love Xander/Willow AND Xander/Cordy AND illow/Oz AND Angel/Buffy AND Spike/Buffy, ALL AT THE SAME TIME - or at least that's how it is for me. And the fun part is, every single ship will break your heart. Oh, wait, maybe it's not so funny.

I DON'T WANT TO START SHIPPING SPUFFY, NYAAAAAAH. Mostly because I can't see Spike falling love with a Slayer if he doesn't have a soul. But I've heard that Spike gets less badass after S4 and stops being an evil vampire. Which makes me sad inside.

I AM GOING TO GO TALK ABOUT S3. BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME AND I'M LOVING IT SO FAR.

And the thing with the Jossverse is, you can love Xander/Willow AND Xander/Cordy AND Willow/Oz AND Angel/Buffy AND Spike/Buffy, ALL AT THE SAME TIME

WORD. Well, expect for the Spike/Buffy thing, but who knows? Once upon a time I didn't like Buffy/Angel because I thought Angel only belonged with Darla, but now I am a shameless shipper, so we'll see, I guess!
