You're right: Buffy was set as a fantasy, and the internal oddness of the high schoolers' behavior and language thus didn't jar so much. After a while, it became something believeable all by itself. (I've told you about the papers written about "Buffy-speak," no?) Hm. Fantasy, taking itself as fantasy. With internal consistencies. Neat.
Oh, my, yes, I see I've missed something with Veronica Mars. Now I'm going to have to acquire that on DVD too... thanks so much for another obsession-in-waiting!
