eh,to each is own,Iain
i think the reason why i started enjoying buffy is that i simply expected to be entertained,nothing more,so i was even more happy all the times the plot/dialogues went beyond simple entertainment.as everyneurotic said,whedom himself is a great writer/director imo(you can easily say which are the episodes he directed without reading the credits),but his style is sorta "nerdy" (if this word exists)in a good way,and you must be into the stuff he likes to fully appreciate some quotes or the general mood...i mean,where else can you find a dialogue between a vampire and the blond slayer supposed to kill him that goes something like this
Buffy There's gotta be a reason why the chip is going all wonky. Maybe it's related to the trigger.Well, we'll fix it. We'll hit serious research mode...
Spike Good. Try Behavioral Modification Software Throughout the Ages.
Buffy OK. You're right. Not a book thing. It's a phone thing.
Spike Who you gonna call? God, that phrase is never gonna be useable again, is it?
Buffy Doubt it.
if you recognize and are amused by the reference in spike's question,i think that you are a potential buffy fan.
