original_post:_1/17/2001________ Besides being really into comics, I was REALLY into Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It started when a lot of us in college would have Buffy watching parties, and it was one of those things that I just loved the writing and characters on. I loved the plot twists and cliffhangers, and along with shows like Alias and the original and still cheesy 90210, influenced some pretty silly cliche ideas.
