Some final thoughts

After reading two other people's papers today, I got a lot of insight into what I need to do, things I could add, and some new ideas for my own paper. It was great to see what other people thought of and what they found for sources. I also really enjoyed reading Cait's paper because her topic, heroes, was similar to mine so I felt like I was able to help her more. (I put those peer tutoring skills to work today Dr. H!) On another note, when I first came into this class, I honestly had no idea what I was getting myself into. I remember thinking the first week or two that I did not belong in this class. However, as the class comes to an end, I can honestly say that I have enjoyed it. While I didn't love every show we watched, I did like the majority of them. I had never taken a television or film based studies class, but I am a fan. I like writing about television because it is so different than the normal classes. I also liked the discussions in class, and while I didn't take part in many of them, I enjoyed hearing true fans ideas and arguments. This class has opened my eyes to the world of Whedon, something I didn't know existed until this semester. I often see Buffy or Firefly on the guide on my television and the thought of putting it on crosses my mind.
