Buffy's metaphorical punch gives the show its place in the intellectual life of the English-speaking world.

For fans of youth shows, occult shows and action shows, this new, weekly "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" is the right program at the right time.

The establishment of the Hellmouth and the season's overall arc with the Master and his flock of deeply religious vampires was actually quite well done despite [being a short season].

Buffy is done with a sly yet generous humor that lets you forget the pain of its premise -- hence its appeal. The show manages to be sweet without offering any hope whatsoever.

But damn did it take chances with its storytelling, and more importantly it became the gold standard for how to make a supernatural show so deeply connect with what it means to be human.

But a little Valley-speak goes a long way. The dialogue is riddled with phrases like ''totally dead,'' ''morbid much'' and ''way extracurricular.'' Someone should take a stake to the script.

Buffy - both the show and the character - gave me the strength and confidence I needed to begin living my young life anew in a world that often thought of women as weak, defenseless creatures. I now had a super cool heroine to look up to.

The cases of the week were fairly stereotypical, and the low budget meant that the effects looked laughable, especially today.

Being the first season, it was *very* rough around the edges in the early stages. The villains weren't particularly memorable, and the work on the vampires and demons wasn't that strong then and certainly doesn't hold up now.
