Seriously, I just stumbled upon Buffy on TV, and I just loved how rocking the intro music was and the memories of watching it as a kid.

Now? Twilight? Vampire Diaries?

I wasn't even a fan of Buffy back in the day. I grow tired of plotlines in stuff like Buffy, Dr.Who, Heros ect. They're about as predictable as Pokemon - only not anywhere near as funny. Therefore I don't really have a problem with Twilight and its ilk. Let the people that enjoy it, enjoy it. After all, it's popular pulp-fiction - if it goes down the line and becomes a classic, that will simply be a way to reflect to past generations what our society was like at the time.

It's no good judging taste. There is only one kind - Your kind.

In defense of Vampire Diaries, they at least keep to the some what "tradition" of Vampires. Twilight however craps all over that.

I liked Buffy until it started getting all romantic and "ooh *guy who is now the guy star on Bones* you have a soul! You can't kill anyone because it will tear at your girly conscience!"

I have a low opinion of sparkly vampires, waste of good film if you ask me. But live and let live. If people want to watch crap, who are we to stop them?

But it would be nice to go to a movie and not have to sit through a twilight preview, and it'd defintely be nice to not hear about how hunky/sparkly/in touch with feminine side the vampires/wolves are on every second minute of the news.

Anyway, it'll be gone in a few years.
Something memorable here.

It lasted one season and was cancelled about two years ago. Not really new. :P

You and other Buffy fans will hate me for this but I consider Buffy(the movie and the TV series) to be in the same group as Twilight, Vampire Diaries, and any other vampire related shows/stories that, to me, are largely high drama productions that use the concept of vampires in their stories.

I do recognize that Whedon did elevate the Buffy franchise with his work on Buffy as the TV show is better than the movie.

Buffy, the Vampire Slayer was pretty good (especially seasons 4-6), Angel was OK, but by season 4 I was totaly lost and bored with it, season 5 was a breath of fresh air for the series.

I like the idea of vampire civil rights in True Blood.

Seconded. While I liked Buffy when I was young, but now, because of the more-than-convient vampire deaths (just poke them with a stick and they will turn into dust, you won't even have to worry about cleaning the bodies up) Buffy and Charmed is on the same level.


Funny, but I think the japanese animes (Hellsing, Vampire Hunter D) are the closest to the original vampire concept.
