We'll always have the DVDs

Lots of web-related celebration going on for the Buffyverse these days, what with it being the 10th anniversary of the show (or, if you're a pessimistic cynical glass is half empty type, like moi, you can say it's the 3rd fucking year since it's been gone). A great clearing house for these articles is whedonesque.

Here's a particularly good one, looking at the legacy and impact Joss and Buffy had.

Not much on TV right now that compares with the perfect mix of fantasy, characters, ongoing arcs and development, wit and laughs, clever dialogue, great performances, tragic heartbreak and action. Veronica Mars comes close, but I'm afraid a bunch of skanks trolling the reality sewer looking for a new whore might put an end to that, if the ratings are any indication. Lost needs to get some closure and answers going, but is still pretty damn good. BSG knocks it out of the park in just about every area, but except for "Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down" can be a bit soul crushing (not that I mind, since I don't really have one. Oh, and neither do you, scientifically speaking) and lacking in the funny. Heroes has done a remarkable job in the first season, so we'll see where that one goes.

Happy 10th (or 3rd) Buffster. We'll miss you.
