Sandman is just about done, so I wanted to start think about what show will be replacing it. I tried to use some of the suggestions from Youtube as well, so there's a looot of options this time haha

I voted for "Buffy", but I wouldn't object to seeing T:TSCC, either. "Buffy" gives a glimpse into the cultural gestalt of the late-'90s and early-'00s that you can't get anywhere else, and it's got some really creative ways of exploring common themes. The development over the course of its run is fascinating, and it has some of my All Time Favorite characters. T:TSCC definitely is the overshadowed one of the bunch, it didn't have great success in its original airing and (Unlike "Firefly") it didn't see a surge in popularity or cult fandom afterwards. It found itself the victim of circumstances outside of its control with an abbreviated first season, and it never quite managed to recover. The biggest argument against doing T:TSCC is that unlike "Firefly", or even "The Clone Wars" which you just started, it never got the chance to come back after its cancellation to make an effort at wrapping everything up. After the one-and-a-half seasons it aired, that's it. I think it's got some real quality in there, but there's no resolution. I'll be honest, the only one that I don't want to see is "Battlestar Galactica". Not that it's a bad show (far from it), but it's something I've seen over-analyzed and overwatched over the past twenty years that it has worn out its welcome with me. This is purely a matter of personal taste, but for me I'm just kinda tired of it by now. And since it's got the longest run of these shows after "Buffy", we'd be stuck with it for a while.

Hey, just wanted to give you a heads up about Buffy. Here's a fun fact: the show was originally recorded in widescreen, but when it was released, it was formatted for square TVs, resulting in some parts of the screen being cut off. The production team was aware of this and focused on keeping the main part of the screen clear while not worrying too much about the areas that would be cropped. However, another company purchased the rights to Buffy and got excited about the widescreen recordings. They released them on streaming services without properly editing them. As a result, you may occasionally see equipment or inconsistencies in the widescreen version. Sometimes vampires are even seen in direct sunlight because the blue filters to depict nighttime were not applied. I just wanted to mention this because these issues were not the fault of the original producing studio. It was more about some greedy individuals looking for a quick payday without considering the proper edits. Hopefully, they have retracted the initial widescreen release and fixed the problems, but I'm not sure if that's the case. So, if you happen to notice any of these faults while watching Buffy, at least you'll know the reason behind them. Enjoy! :)
