    Here is a list of our main characters and how they play into the show:
    • Buffy Summers played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, our title character and heroine
    • Rupert Giles played by Anthony Stewart Head, Buffy’s Watcher and father figure
    • Willow Rosenberg played by Alyson Hannigan, Buffy’s Best Friend
    • Xander Harris played by Nicholas Brendon, Buffy’s other B.F. and the comic relief
    to the show

    • Spike played by James Marsters, A Vampire with a Billy Idol complex who
    eventually plays a major role in Buffy’s life

    While there have many other characters and actors on the show, the ones above are the main players. We have also seen numerous villains over the years including: The Master, Spike, Drusilla, Angelus, The Mayor, Adam, Glory, Warren, Andrew, Jonathan, Caleb, and The First Evil.

    I am starting off the Summer DVD Club with the pilot, “Welcome to the Hellmouth.” While it may not be one of the best episodes ever, it is the episode that started it all!

    As I review my top favorites, I want you to give your Two Cents on yours. Also, what do you think were the worst episodes? After 7 seasons, it is impossible to only make great episodes. Leave your Two Cents on these two topics in my comments throughout the summer and we will see how we agree and disagree on our favorites and least favorites.

  3. As a huge Buffy fan, I'm really looking forward to this... and my least favorite episode? It's a toss-up between Bad Eggs and Where the Wild Things Are.
