Heh. Well, what a strange and tangential intro to Buffyverse you've had! I was in the kind of limbo you describe for a few months, because I saw 6 eps but then didn't have access to the dvds. But I read a lot of fanfic, an appalling amount actually, even though I didn't know who a lot of the characters were. And from that I learned lots of things, most all of the big things. Then I finally began to get my hands on the dvds, and that was so much better. There were two really big things that happened that I didn't know about, one in Angel S4 and one in NFA. But other than that no big development really surprised me, which I think was a bit of a bummer actually.

Ha, well, you will always be able to better recall small details and specific lines than me. I always get so carried away by the story when I'm watching that things like the great lines don't stick out to me. Though I'm rewatching and during s2, I kinda took notes on small things I'd never noticed before.

Well, the show never quite got into how Gargoyles came to be, did it? It's unclear if they were creatures or statues first.

Who doesn't want to turn into an owl, that's the operative question.

But then I realized that nobody seems to be aware that morality and ethics are not the same thing...

It's so weird, I didn't know that until just about 6 months ago. I'm really appalled that I didn't know that.

My hatred of Joyce as a person springs from her bad mommy skills. The short version is I think she's selfish; she often considers herself before Buffy. That's one thing in a teenager like Cordelia, and completely another in a mother. But yeah, I'll do that rant one day, and explain myself more fully.
