Into Each Generation a slayer is born. One girl in all the world She alone will stand against the vampires the demons and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer.
The beginning of the amazing 7 year run of Buffy the Vampire slayer. For those of you who watched the Buffy Movie with Kirsty Swanson and think god not a series of it. The movie doesn't even touch the series.
From the creator Joss Whedon comes an amazing Series with a cast including Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nicholas Brendon, Alyson Hannigan, David Boreanaz, Anthony Stewart Head and many more.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer is based around the story of Buffy Summers, an until recently normal teenage girl who discovers that she is the chosen one, a warrior of the people who's duty is to protect the world from the forces of darkness.
Buffy and her mom move to Sunnydale because her Mom got a new job.
Of course been in a new town means new school. Sunnydale high in fact. She enrols only to find out that her slaying days that she thought were over actually are not as the new Librarian Mr Giles is actualy her new watcher ... so much for the new start, but i guess thats what happens when you go to a school on the hellmouth.
Due to Buffys strange behaviour and of course Willon (Alyson Hannigan) and Xander (Nicholas Brendon) overhearing Giles and Buffy in the library (not a great way to keep a secret identity, secret) buffy makes 2 new friends who help her in her battle against evil.
As well as battling the forces of darkness Buffy has to deal with the usual teenage high school problems.
Popularity, schoolwork, cheerleading, Boys.
With Sunnydale been demon central, theres no end to the amount of nasties out to rid the world of the plague of humanity. But there is one big bad in particular... The master. an incredibly old powerful vampire who has been kept in a mystical prison below Sunnydale for nearly a century. His plan is to open the Hellmouth that Sunnydale is built on releasing not only himself but untold evils onto the world. The only thing Buffy has to do is stop him...
What with all this saving the world, how does a poor teenage girl find the time to bag herself a hottie?.. well She does, in the form of a 240 year old vampire with a soul known as Angel. But it isn't all hearts and flowers, not only does Buffy not know he's a vampire until halfway through the season, but she learns of his past.
Angel, previously called Angelus cursed with the return of his soul by gypsies after he slaughtered members of their family. Despite being a vampire, Angel cannot kill humans as his soul has brought back his conscience so spends his life drinking animal blood and trying to atone for the death and carnage he brought to the world during his time as a killer.
The first season of Buffy only contains 12 episodes so it's a little shorter than the usual 22 episode season. But they are a great 12 episodes. A lot is packed into 1 series and it always keep you wanting more.
Joss has very cleverly managed to imput a lot of what every teenager goes through while in school and i guarantee that there is someone in the show who you can relate to.
The Packaging is different to when the DVD was initially released, but this makes it a lot cheaper and i personally prefer this rather than the book style.
The Episodes consist of
Welcome to the Hellmouth:
Part 1 of a 2 part episode.
Picking up where the feature film left off, Buffy Summers and her mom move to Sunnydale, California, for a fresh start, unaware of the evil lurking in this quiet suburb.
