I was lame and didn't seriously start watching Buffy until S5. Part of that was that I was in college and didn't have my own TV a lot of the time before then, and the odd episodes I saw didn't really do all that much for me.
Then I saw "Crush", fell for Spike HARD (hey, I already owned my vampire fetish, I'll own the Spike thing too) and kept watching. Then "The Body" aired two weeks later and it was like -- if a show can do this kind of angst, and hot smutty vampire stuff, and comedy, I'm in for realz. I spent most of the next year trying to watch every episode up to that point, which was harder back before DVDs.
Also, liking Buffy lead me to the Buffy boards on Table Talk. Those went to buffistas.org after Table Talk went paid, buffistas.org lead me to LJ, LJ lead me to fanfic writing, fanfic writing lead me, ultimately, here. Not a bad place to get to from thinking James Marsters is hot.
