In Memoriam: Buffy, the Vampire Slayer - May 20, 2003

BUFFYKM5.20.08“What do we do now, Buffy?”

It’s been five whole years since Buffy, the Vampire Slayer said goodbye on television screens across the nation. While the show never reached the ratings highs of, for example, Lost, it did have and still retains a passionate fan base, who made the show a media giant. Add to that Joss Whedon’s smart, witty, and dramatic themes and dialogue, and you have, arguable, one of television’s ten best shows of all time.

The show did wonders for themes of female empowerment paving the way for other shows, such as Alias, and helped a little network formerly known as The WB become a contender in the television realm. Plus, Buffy’s emotion, suspense, humor, drama, intellect, and, ultimate payoff upped the ante for countless other shows. In fact, without Buffy…well, let’s not imagine a world without Buffy.

To many, Buffy was a means of trying to make sense of life, only the demons in the show were quite literal. To others, it was identifying with an outcast who struggled to find her place in the world, realizing that one may never know. And to more, it was seeing that through it all, there would be someone to turn to.

RIP Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - Chosen.
