Buffy's three Musketeers!

[obcooke]

That's may be because Buffy is at it's core a people story.

Most sci-fi shows are about time travel, or space travel, or flashing weapons or... well, you get the idea.

Stargate and many others are fun to watch but the characters don't even have homes, at least not any that we see. The interactions between the characters are secondary to the story of the week. [I'm going to make some Stargate fans mad with that, but that's the way I see it.]

Buffy is about a young woman growing up. Sure, she's the Slayer, but even as she fights demons and vampires, we're more concerned about her love life, or her home life, or... well, you get the idea. It's about a person, not a thing.

I can agree with you in some ways Obcooke. We have briefly seen Sam's and Daniel's and possibly Jack's house but as you say Buffy the storylines do not always revolve around killing Vampires.

Yeah, Buffy's more a show about the pressures of life...evn if they are a little weird at times.

 

[Annette]

What gets me is that you never see reports in the paper about vampire killings? How daft can people be if they don't know by now what is going on?

[Vampyre]

People are probably in a state of denial, there's a whole different world out there...and they don't know about it, and probably don't want to believe it.

 

[Annette]

They must be to ignore people going missing all the time without some valid explanation.

it's so sad...you're too blinded to see that Staregate is such a great show.

Obcooke> you just soo know what I mean when I say Buffy is better than Stargate, and I soo gotta love that aspect in you.

 

[Vampyre]

Snake, if you're gonna try and convince us that Stargate is better than BTVS...save your energy.

 

[SolidSnake2000]

ok, buffy is better than stargate, yes. but stargate is such a good show that it's not better by much.

 

[Vampyre]

Wrong Wrong Wrong...there isn't a number for how many times BTVS is better than Stargate.

 

[SolidSnake2000]

you're too young to understand the truth...maybe in time you'll see

 

[Asmiley]

Buffy is waaay better than Stargate.

 

[Vampyre]

Maybe you should take a look at that opinion yourself.

 

[SolidSnake2000]

since we already had a similar discussion on ROSWELL, imma leave this one alone...unless provoked to defend...

 

[SolidSnake2000]

Maybe you should take a look at that opinion yourself.

Are u talkin bout me being too young to understand?

 

[Vampyre]

...maybe in time you'll see

That's what I'm talking about, but the Roswell thing just ended in a agree to disagree solution and so will this, so lets leave it.
