After a week of being sick and working through that sickness to finish my statistics project, I think I deserve a good heavy dose of old TV series geekdom. I know everyone is probably going nuts over Glee and all that but for me nothing’s better than old Xena: The Warrior Princess and Buffy: The Vampire Slayer episodes!
The Cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Yes, Mark is a huge Buffy geek. I actually have copies of the Season 8 comics! As much as I like Buffy, nothing can defeat the original female butt-kicker of the 90′s and early 2000′s generation.
Xena in Samurai armor
YEAH!!! I’ve been watching Xena: Warrior Princess reruns on the SciFi channel for a while and has secretly been part of my geekyness since it was showing on Star World when I was a freshman high school.
Fun Facts:
1. Xena is actually a spin-off from the Hercules series (the one with Kevin Sorbo). Most internet people actually know this already but I was shocked when my mother asked “is that Xena? the female version of He-man?”… I know the inner guy geek in me had a face-palm moment.
2. Buffy was originally a full feature comedy film created in 1992 with another actress. It was sort of a flop but the idea was good enough that people wanted to turn it into a TV show.
3. Xena’s Chakram is actually a real weapon used by sikhs (makes you wanna go aahlalalalallalala-shiiiaaah!)
4. There was originally a planned Buffy The Vampire Slayer animated series. Search around Youtube 
you’ll likey.
5. Xena has a daughter hahahaha yes warrior woman is a mommy. Actually she had a son before that she gave up because she was a bad warlord (Solan) who eventually died and then Eve, the divinely concieved (yes we’re talking about the angel gabriel thingy here) daughter. Yes Xena has all this weirdness in it.
… Yes Mark is a geek
