Oh, people's "how I found Buffy" stories are so much fun! And it's funny, but almost every non-Buffy fan I know who has at some point thought they'd give it a try ended up watching the Body. Really! It almost makes me laugh the number of my friends who've said to me, "I did watch it once. It was the one where Buffy's mom died." It must have been touted that week as a must-see programme by TV guides, or something. And they all have the same reaction - that they were really impressed by it as a one-off piece, but didn't feel like they'd be interested in watching again.
The thing is, where do you start? I've always wondered this. Where can you find the one Buffy episode, that without knowing anything about its history, would make someone fall in love with the show?
Now, Intervention. There is an absolute treat of an episode if ever there was one. And it's nice to know that without knowing the whole backstory, it was still an exciting and fall-in-love-able TV watching experience. :) And wouldn't it have been fun if the Buffybot was a regular character? I was so happy when she did turn up again (and heartbroken when she was destroyed in Season 6).
I also knew that something very dear and important was going on between Buffy and Spike
Oh! I think you've just summed up exactly and perfectly why I love those two. :)
And oh, the finale. Yes! A beautiful, very fitting quote, and this? And how happy was I to see Connor? Deliriously. Me too, me too!
