Buffy the Vampire SlayerNewest Review: ... Star Trek and even things like Hitler. It's fresh and exciting and the writers are always finding new ways to use everyday metaphors and twist them into a brilliant story. - Structure - The show deals with stand alone episodes usually revolving around 'a monster of the week', whilst also adding to larger story arcs which play out over longer periods. Buffy is forced to confront a new foe and uses her friends to 'research' whatever event or monster is in town, before battling it. Each episode is between 40 - 45 minutes in length and each season usually contains a 'Big Bad' that is the primary antagonist Buffy has to defeat. The show deals... more |

I know that during my time on Dooyoo I have provided a review on each individual season of Buffy The Vampire Slayer but this is an overview of the entire show in the hopes that it will entice new viewers and open up a world to them which at times has been a friend, a comfort, a confidant and a general output of humour for me. I hope I haven't over done this or missed anything! - History & Conception - Buffy began in the form of a movie, aptly titled 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer'. The 1992 box office flop stared Kristy Swanson as the fashion conscious vampire killer, Donald Sutherland as her watcher and Luke Perry as her love ... Read the complete review

This show has run for so long that I shall only give a brief description and introduction to it. For I fear there may be someone anyone out there who has lived under a very large rock all these years and thus will berate me for spoilers. 'In every generation a Slayer is born'. Buffy seems an average teenage girl, blonde, bubbly and likely to get into trouble. Only it is soon revealed that the trouble she gets into is mostly of a supernatural kind. For she is the Chosen One to fight those fabled creatures of the night, Vampires. Although her title is the vampire slayer there are many more funky demons and creatures that arise as the seasons move on. ... Read the complete review

(please note, this is a longish review, because im talking about seven whole seasons of slayer-ey goodness) I am a Vampire Slayer. By day I may be a makeup artistry student in Liverpool, but by night, I don my fashionable yet affordable boots, collect my stake (Mr pointy but of course) and crouch underneath my car, awaiting the throngs of vampires that stalk my quiet village in North Wales. OK. Perhaps not, but if I could, I truly would. History of Buffyverse. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The first incarnation of Buffy, was "Rhonda the immortal waitress". not the catchiest of titles. Joss Whedon (Buffy creator) ... Read the complete review

Buffy the vampire slayer is one of my most favourite series ever! It is well and truly amazing! It is about Buffy Summers, a young girl who has been made "THE VAMPIRE SLAYER" a girl who is the "chosen one" made to protect the public from the vampires. A lot of people slag buffy off saying its a bit far fetched about vampires etc... but its not just that! Its about young teenagers literally growing up year by year, making friends, dealing with bullying, love, sex, the lot.. but she just kills vampires along the way :) Anthony head plays giles the watcher perfectly, basically an old geek with a heart of gold.. her friend ...
