If you do not know by now, I am a huge Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan. Not the movie. The television series. It was an amazing show. Witty. poignant. Insightful. Quotable. There are many insightful things that could and nedd to be written about Buffy, which I will not do here and now. Many others have tackled this. But, one must note that this television show had a huge cultural significance, and its importance to me personally, was profound.
There are about 1,001 quotes from the show or more that would resonate with millions of people. Through Buffy we experienced death, grief, and longing. And, many insightful bits were shared along those lines. I need not quote these here.
One minor quote, however that recently came to mind that is funny to me, is when she noted someone was trying to Scully her. That being a reference to the X-Files. Scully was the scientist, and as such, the supposed skeptic. I’m pretty tired of that trope. But, I will leave that there.
At one point in the television series, Buffy says to Giles (her mentor and trainer) “I cannot believe that you, of all people, are trying to Scully me.” I have felt this exact sentiment and state of being. The other day, unlike my sunny curmudgeon self, I had other individuals trying to “scully”. I was left wondering how that was even possible. I’m the skeptic. I’m the one who wants to see the data points. Yet, the other day I wanted to believe. I wanted to be Mulder. I wanted to stare the fantastic in the eye and not blink. But others wanted to temper me down. There was no fun in being reigned in by the skeptics. Particularly, since I usually play the role of the skeptic.
Sometimes, however, we need to play the role of someone else. Be the understudy who all of a sudden has a starring role, due to a broken leg. It’s all about your lens framework.
