Buffy the Vampire Slayer Important Scene

So I just finished watching the first episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I have to admit, it was better than I expected. I felt as though the writers did a great job grabbing the viewer’s attention and keeping it throughout the entire episode. In this episode, Buffy just moved into a new town and is trying to start over. While she is at school, she talks to the librarian about her “unique talent” that she has, which is slaying vampires. During their conversation, she tells him that she did not choose to be this way and that he has no idea how much it has cost her. She then proceeds to tell him that she is retired, and won’t be trying to go out and find vampires to kill. This conversation sets up another very important scene that occurs later in the episode, when Buffy is at a local club. At the club, she is once again talking to the librarian. However, this time, we see a change in Buffy. When she sees one of her friends go off with a suspected vampire, she decides to take action. She goes after her friend, and takes it upon herself to once again protect the citizens of the town against vampires. I felt that this was such an important scene because we see a dramatic change in the main character. In this scene, Buffy goes from the girl who is just trying to be normal and fit in and have nothing to do with being a vampire slayer to someone who is taking responsibility for the welfare of others. I enjoyed this episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer immensely and will definitely watch this show again, especially if we get to choose another scifi television show to watch for class.
