[QUOTE="Quasqueton, post: 653267, member: 3854"] I've only recently gotten into watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I saw my first episode a couple months ago, and it just struck me as such a cool show. It is now the only show I actually make time to see each week. But what the hell is going on? I've been watching for like 8 weeks now, but seen only, what 3 actual new episodes, in proper sequence? What is it with all the reruns? Now, yes, the reruns are new to me. But that is what is so aggravating. I watch one show, get excited to see the next episode, but then next week confuses me because people who are mentioned as dead last week are walking around alive. Plots that seemed resolved last week are apparently still driving the characters this week. Tonight, I'm watching as Buffy is talking to all the students who come to her as the counselor. Then I see this one student who was dead a few episodes ago. This girl had turned out to be the First trying to trick Willow. So this week when I see her talking to Buffy, I'm thinking, "oh no, Buffy doesn't know this girl is dead, and the First is trying to trick her too." So half the episode I'm trying to figure out what the First is up to. Then I see Willow sitting at the computer looking at a picture of this dead girl, and she doesn't recognize her? Arrgh! Then I start to realize this episode is a rerun from earlier in the season. DAMN! I'm so confused. I can't tell where in the timeline I am watching the shows. Aren't reruns normally reserved for the "off season"? I can't figure out who is who and what is happening when new and old shows are constantly mixed up. It really is aggravating. Can someone tell me how and when new Buffy episodes are aired? Once a month? Twice a month? Any kind of pattern? Is next week a new show? Quasqueton [/QUOTE]
