"Whatcha doin', Bones?"
"I've decided to broaden my entertainment choices so my tastes can be as eclectic as yours."
"You're watching Netflix."
"Yes. I've found this very interesting program which uses various anthropological tropes to further the plot."
"What? Way to ruin TV, Bones."
"Look. That young blonde woman uses superhuman strength to vanquish evil. She represents the Mother Goddess who saves the world. She fights vampires. Most cultures have legends or lore about vampires since blood is often seen as the source of life. This program also incorporates the classic good vs evil trope, a discussion of redemption and even some religious aspects, like having a soul."
"So you're saying that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is like anthropology. Right. I think you just like the kickboxing."
"I enjoy the stories that go with the tropes. There's a classic love triangle, too. Buffy tries to kill vampires but it appears she has two vampire lovers: Spike and Angel. I'm hoping she chooses Spike. He's very handsome."
"What's wrong with Angel? He's taller and he has cool hair."
"Angel's so gloomy all the time...no fun. He never smiles unless he's lost his soul. That was an interesting arc...the trope of good vs evil in the world and a discussion of what "good" really is.
Besides, Spike has a sense of humor, and a British accent. He's really quite attractive."
"I don't know, Bones...from what I remember of the show, Spike was the bad guy and Angel was a good guy most of the time. Angel was Buffy's one true love."
"But Spike has the leather coat. You used to watch this program? Why didn't introduce me to this show, Booth?"
"Sorry, Bones. Next time I watch Firefly, I'll let you know and we can analyze it, too, okay?"
