First Michelle Trachtenberg last year, now Nicholas Brendon. I did not expect the "Buffy" cast to begin dying so young.

I had a good day. But also I am sad today. Things feel overwhelming. Xander (Nicolas Brendon from #BuffyTheVampireSlayer) died, days after a man decided that the world didn’t need to see a strong female role model, and trump still sucks, and only the good people seem to be dying, and it’s hard to know what to do. But I saw this on IG, and amid the sadness, it made me feel something else too. It’s silly to take comfort in a show, I guess. But it feels better to think: What would #Buffy do?

Feeling a little bummed by the passing of Nicholas Brendon given my love for Buffy. I wonder if it will get harder and harder to re-watch my favorite show (or any other) as time goes on and cast members continue dying. (I hope not.)
