Who is Buffy and What is a Slayer?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer was originally a movie made in 1992. Buffy and Pike (an angel/xander type character) did the slaying of the vampires, and Merrick, her Watcher, did the Giles thing. It wasn't really a big hit, so when we all heard that it was going to be a series, we scoffed, thinking "What can they really make out of a valley girl who kills vamps?" But we were wrong. Oh, how we were wrong.

The show comes on Tuesday nights on the WB for an hour (you get the effect of a movie each week). Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) returns from her character in the '92 movie. She moves to Sunnydale, California at the start of her sophomore year and finds her new watcher, Giles (Anthony Stewart Head). She makes friends with Willow (Alyson Hannigan), Xander (Nicholas Brendon), and Cordelia...well sort of. Angel, a vampire with a soul, (he doesn't bite) becomes her sort-of boyfriend. The central issue of the show, I think, is Buffy's two identities- schoolgirl by day, slayer by night.

You're going to watch Buffy, and if you haven't before, you're going to be so confused. Don't worry, that's what this club is for. =)
