Worldwide Buffy

I'm a snob. I don't watch any TV except "Kudlow & Cramer." Until last year when I got hooked on "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer." In one year, I watched all seven seasons.
Michael at Samizdata seems plugged in in as well. He tells a great story of meeting somebody at a train stop because she is singing a song from "Once More With Feeling." Good story.

I am not sure that there is a point to this story, other than that a globalised world in which I, an Australian who lives in London, can spontaneously start singing a song from a musical episode of a television series of light gothic horror set in a Californian high school with a beautiful somewhat anglicised Argentine woman in an underground train station in Antwerp is something I like immensely. And also, Joss Whedon is a genius.
