I Suck At Buffy The Vampire Slayer

With it being Tuesday and all, my friends (Marc and Kelley) came over. Karen and I, along with Marc, Kelley, and my friend (Andrea) had been getting together on Tuesdays to watch Lost. With Lost having ended for good, we decided to continue where we had left on during our viewing of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Now, I suck at Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It just so happens that we only had a couple of episodes to watch to close out season 6 of Buffy. So, the episodes we watched were "Two to Go" whereby Dark Willow tracks down the remaining members of the Trio who were responsible for the death of her beloved; and "Grave", the season finale where Dark Willow tries to destroy the world.

For a while, our baby daughter (Briana) appeared to be all into Buffy as she intently watched the show with us. (I have to get her into Buffy while she's young after all. She could be a little slayer!) But after a while, she started to fuss... and poop... numerous times. Luckily for me, I've seen the Buffy episodes many times so changing her diapers weren't a problem.

Apparently, it turns out that Karen thought the end of the season with Willow and Xander to be touching. I suppose I would have to agree. After all, if I were hellbent on destroying the world, it would be nice to have your BFF (Kerry) try to stop you by telling you everything is okay. So take a mental note of that, Kerry. Just kidding.

Now, I'm not one to say that Buffy is gospel or anything. Watching the episodes now, however, does provide a different perspective on things. Having lost our son (Braden) a while back, I too felt like it was the end of the world when he passed away. After all, for all intents and purposes Braden's passing made no sense. To this day, I doubt Karen and I will ever have a reason as to why he had to pass away. And naturally without answers or order, there is chaos... and that is definitely how things felt back then. So I can see how things were different this time around when watching the finale of Buffy season 6.

And luckily, Karen and I did have a huge support system of family and friends. It was very comforting for Karen and I to know that so many people cared about us. We will be forever grateful for that. Regardless, it was nice to watch the season 6 finale again of Buffy with friends.
