Day 25. Favourite Buffyverse saying. See, I think this is about catchphrases and Buffy didn't really have catchphrases. There was great dialogue and some amazing lines, and a slanguage all it's own, but no catchphrases. This is a one of its strengths. There are few things more annoying than having catchphrases endlessly repeated at you. I definitely went through a phase of adding '-age' to nouns though.
Day 26. Favourite Scooby moment. The bit in Primeval where Buffy, Giles, Willow and Xander gather to discuss the things that were said in The Yoko Factor. They are not ok as friends but they decide to do what needs to be done anyway.
Day 27. Cutest moment. Anya dressed as a scary bunny in Fear, Itself.
Day 28. Character you love to hate. This really has to be Buffy. She is often whiny, miserable and self-righteous. She struggles to find the fun and hides behind her responsibilities. But then, she does get put through the wringer and you can't help but empathise with her.
Day 29. Episode you hate that everybody else loves. Don't know what everyone else loved. I wasn't overly keen on Him in Season 7.
Day 30. What you think made Buffy so great. So many things. The wit, the music, the feminism, it had vampires. It had great characters: the heroes were a little bad and the villains were a little good. There was some awesome dialogue and great chemistry. It didn't take itself too seriously. Buffy had It, the X-factor, that indefinable thing that makes something greater than the sum of its parts.
