Flash Back

Today I watched the first episode of Buffy for old time’s sake, and it took me back to 1997 when I first saw it. It was back in Ukraine and the show was introduced with a 15-minute warning that we have to be understanding and tolerant of other cultures. The subtext was “these crazy Americans are very crazy but what can we do, we got to show it.”

The whole thing gave me a bit of a panic attack because I did not enjoy being young and don’t want to be back even momentarily.

It’s an excellent show, though.
