As we all decompress from the season finale of HBO’s True Detective, let us not forget that 17 years ago today, Buffy The Vampire Slayer premiered on The WB in a back-to-back marathon of ‘Welcome to the Hellmouth’ and ‘The Harvest’. This revelation also makes our favorite slayer a senior in high school, and we all know how stressful that can be, especially when your town is located on a portal to the underworld.

It’s funny to think how in just two decades, Joss Whedon went from the guy running one of the biggest cult hits to every grace television to the grandmaster of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and director of the third highest grossing movie of all time. Just go to show, never count out the underdog.

Happy birthday, Buffy. We’ll plan something special for your 18th next year.

Smart people.

It's for smart people.

It's too bad that FOX didn't have the same patience for Firefly that WB did for Buffy. It could have been the best sci-fi series ever.

I finished it a couple of months ago. I'm in emptiness now; I was so addicted to the scooby gang. :(

I think Joss Whedon has a thing for Turkey. In one episode Willow literally spoke Turkish to exercise some sort of an ancient Shaman spell. She says "Speak to us lovely man, speak to us the man who has no eyes." This is the scene:

Also once Willow told Oz that someday they could meet in a coffeshop in Istanbul. Not to even mention in the first episode of one of the seasons bad guys were hunting down a slayer in the streets of Istanbul. Lol.
