Any Buffy Fans — Page 12

Go Fish grossed me out.

ETA: I'm having a dillemma. I can't decide whether to continue watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on HBO or to put on Buffy VHS's.

Yeah I have. Once in theatres.

Well, I don't have the post-Christmas episodes b/c that's where I stopped my tape.

If someone wants to burn DVDs for me...I'd watch them all...and then it would be nice to have the VHS episodes on DVD...

Or you can do like I did. An ex made off with season 5 and I begged a friend to get it for me for my birthday.
They also show up on Ebay.

Seriously...my current boyfriend pretty much hooked me by having the series set.

Uh, I was 29, he was...19.
he was just a little klepto, I guess, but frankly, he borrowed it and it became an issue of whether or not I could stand to see him for the 5 minutes I'd need to get it back or just break down and get another.

He wasn't a she.

One of my favourite cast photos...

Wow, how could I forget one of the coolest scenes ever?

Spike: The thing is… I had a speech. I learned it all. Oh, god. She won't understand. She won't understand.
Warren: Of course she won't understand, Sparky. I'm beyond her understanding. She's a girl. Sugar and spice and everything… useless. Unless you're baking. I'm more than that. More than flesh.
Glory: More than blood. I'm… you know, I honestly don't think there's a human word fabulous enough for me. Oh, my name will be on everyone's lips… assuming their lips haven't been torn off. But not just yet. That's all right, though.
Adam: I can be patient. Everything is well within parameters. She's exactly where I want her to be. And so are you, Number 17. You're right where you belong.
Mayor Wilkins: So what'd you think? You'd get your soul back and everything would be Jim Dandy? A soul's slipperier than a greased weasel. Why do you think I sold mine? Well, you probably thought that you'd be your own man and I respect that. But you never will.
Drusilla: You'll always be mine. You'll always be in the dark with me, singing our little songs. You like our little songs, don't you? You've always liked them, right from the beginning. And that's where we're going.
Master: Right back to the beginning. Not the Bang, not the Word. The true beginning. The next few months are going to be quite a ride and I think we're all going to learn something about ourselves in the process. You'll learn you're a pathetic schmuck… if it hasn't sunk in already. Look at you. Tried to do what's right. Just like her. You still don't get it. It's not about right. Not about wrong.
Buffy: It's about power.

It would have been awfully nice to see the villians all reapper again throughout the season. The First appearing as Buffy did make sense, but having her alone play the part for most of the season came off...cheap. Like, we don't have the time or money to hire more actors.

I don't know that the morphing and deception were used as well as they could have been. And I applaud them trying to use Giles to trick us "Is he or isn't he?" But even that could have been used to better effect. I think they didn't realize how hard it would be to pull off a noncorporeal villian for an entire year.

I still like the season. And it holds up better when you watch it all at once, not once a week stretched over months.

for those who are wondering, ebay is no bargain for those looking for the complete set. without the risk of buying from an unknown source, you can get the dvds from amazon for only slightly higher than the auctions i saw.

And he's literally listed in Inca Mummy Girl as something like "male Student." And he had his first lines there. I LOVE that he became a character.

I'm fine with Amy becoming what she was when we last saw her. I don't think it was a matter of deviating from her character.

She wasn't evil early on, no. But she had no problem tricking people and using magic (Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered)

When she was finally no longer Amy the Rat, she had a hugely difficult time readjusting. While she didn't have much screen time to display any anger or resentment that stemmed from that, I have no problem in terms of believability in accepting that she came to be quite a bit darker than high school Amy through dealing with missing years of her life.

And Jonathon goes back all the way. He was in the original presentation reel. He was involved in the show (as an extra, but still involved) before Alyson Hannigan was cast.

But it's still funny how much of the presentation reel WAS right.

Huge amounts of dialogue is reused in the filmed version of the first episode.

I like the scene where Xander walks with Buffy and they identify the various student groups. Even if Clueless did do it better, the Joss dialogue is fun.
