Twin screengrabs from the 20th minute and 7th second of related
Willow: What do you want to do?
Buffy: I don't know. What happened to Angel wasn't his fault.
Joyce: I am your mother and you will make time to explain yourself!
Buffy: I told you. I'm a vampire slayer.

Buffy: Open your eyes mom. What do you think has been going on for the past two years?

I love that people blog about Buffy. I never watched it when it was new, but I found the first season at the library a few years ago and thought I'd give it a go and I'm glad I did. I watched the whole of season 5 in one night. I had a lot of Buffy marathons, actually. A friend of mine from the states finally phoned me to see why I wasn't going online anymore. I just couldn't get enuff of the wonderful Buff...
