Buffy's Beginnings

Last night I watched the pilot episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The pilot episode is about Buffy realizing who she is and what she was born to do. After moving to a new school, Buffy just wants to be a normal teenager. Even though she was chosen as the "vampire slayer", she tries to run from her destiny. She tells the librarian, who knows who she is, that she just isn't interested in being a slayer anymore. As the episode progresses, Buffy starts to realize that she can't just stop being the slayer that she was born to be. The most interesting part of this episode is when Buffy goes to a club with the other kids from her high school, and runs into the librarian again who tells her to point out the vampires in the club. Buffy immediately points out the vampire who is talking to her new friend, Willow. When Willow leaves the club with the vampire, Buffy realizes what she has to do. This is when Buffy's protective nature comes out. She immediately starts searching for Willow. When she finds Willow, she ushers all the students out of immediate danger by putting herself between the vampires and the students. She then risks her life to save them. This part of the episode is very important because Buffy finally realizes that she can't run from this job, and that it will always be a part of her life.
