Yesterday, Buffy the Vampire Slayer became a twenty year-old show. And it's still my favourite show. It had such a strong, beautifully-acted female lead and we still need a lot more of that. Sarah really brought the title character to life. The supporting cast were incredible too; Giles, Spike, Angel and Willow in particular. Plus it was from a time when vampires were still vampires and not these modern-day sparklefloofs. I connected to a lot of people, and to my writing, through Buffy. It still inspires me, and it shaped a huge part of my younger years. I owe it more than any other fiction except for perhaps Tolkien's work.
Happy 20th, Buffy. I could watch you kick ass forever.
