Buffy the Vampire Slayer

[punkpixie]

Inspired by the Dawson's Creek thread. Any fans of this show when it was on? I fucking loved it.

[sleepygrlgreen]

OH MY GOD! One of the greatest shows ever! What did you think of the last season when Dawn came in? I don't know if I liked her all too much, but the whole key idea was pretty kool.

Haha. As you can see...I was quite the WB show fan.

[punkpixie]

I thought it was weird when she just appeared like that, but the way they managed to fit her in so well was really cool. At first I hated the idea because I thought they were going to take it down the 'slayer junior' route, but they didn't so yay!

[sleepygrlgreen]

yeah same here. it took some time getting used to. what did you think of the finale???

[punkpixie]

yeah same here. it took some time getting used to. what did you think of the finale???
The last ever episode you mean? I thought the stuff with Spike was amazing, but the stuff about every girl being a slayer was a little heavy-handed on the female empowerment front, and also a little corny! haha

[sleepygrlgreen]

The last ever episode you mean? I thought the stuff with Spike was amazing, but the stuff about every girl being a slayer was a little heavy-handed on the female empowerment front, and also a little corny! hahahaha i agree. i think they were running out of ideas when they did it, but i really liked how spike more or less did a total 180. from this bad ass slayer killer to this big ole' softy.

[punkpixie]

haha i agree. i think they were running out of ideas when they did it, but i really liked how spike more or less did a total 180. from this bad ass slayer killer to this big ole' softy.I know! Oh my gosh, and it was all because of love. I'm so soppy when it comes to that stuff. I didn't like the fact that they split Xander and Anya up though, they were hilarious!

I'm so glad I made this thread, because there are so many funny quotes in it too! haha I'm so sad.

[sleepygrlgreen]

Haha. There really are. Xander and Anya were great together.

I'm gonna try to get a few of my favorite quotes up.

[punkpixie]

haha me too, but it will have to be later, because I have to disappear now...

but when I come back we'll have a quote marathon!

[sleepygrlgreen]

awesome!

[FalloutGuy]

I use to love Buffy....until Angel. I will never forgive WB...ever...for canceling Angel for no fucking reason. It went before its time.

[sleepygrlgreen]

Anya: You don't find me attractive any more.
Xander: What are you talking about? I think you're gorgeous.
Anya: Oh, really? Well then, why didn't we have sex last night?
Xander: Is that what this is about? We've gone other nights without sex.
Anya: I know. Twice! I can't believe we're breaking up.

[agentGumbo]

oh
my
god.
i obsessed over this show. amazing. part of the 6th and most of the 7th season sucked though.

[sleepygrlgreen]

I loved everything about the musical episode... "Once More, With Feeling". Brilliant!!

oh
my
god.
i obsessed over this show. amazing. part of the 6th and most of the 7th season sucked though.didn't suck...but certainly wasn't the best.

[agentGumbo]

the musical was amazing. and the one episode, from the 4th season, with those monsters that stole everyone's voices was nominated for an oscar...or an emmy...or whichever the tv awards are

[sleepygrlgreen]

the musical was amazing. and the one episode, from the 4th season, with those monsters that stole everyone's voices was nominated for an oscar...or an emmy...or whichever the tv awards areyeah i know! that one rocked. remember when giles drew them on the projector thing? hahah. bloody stick figures. man, i really wish the repeats weren't on so early in the morning.

[agentGumbo]

yeah i know! that one rocked. remember when giles drew them on the projector thing? hahah. bloody stick figures. man, i really wish the repeats weren't on so early in the morning.
i know i liked when it was on from 4-6pm i watched it like...everyday haha

[sleepygrlgreen]

i know i liked when it was on from 4-6pm i watched it like...everyday hahahaha me too. i rememer when roswell used to be on sci fi at like 4 or 5. i watched that. sci kept switching from roswell to xfiles. good thing i love both shows.

[FOBcareemo]

this show ruled.....and i am not afraid to say it

[Andy]

Fuck yes, I have all the box sets.

<3 Eliza <3 / <3 Faith <3

[sleepygrlgreen]

Fuck yes, I have all the box sets.

<3 Eliza <3 / <3 Faith <3Oh man. She was a hardcore bitch.

[Andy]

I had/have the biggest crush on her.

[sleepygrlgreen]

What guy didn't? Heh. She was/is definitely a hottie.

[Andy]

Yeah, I've pretty much kept track on Eliza's career since I saw her on Buffy. Damn shame she doesn't get more roles.

[punkpixie]

yeah i know! that one rocked. remember when giles drew them on the projector thing? hahah. bloody stick figures. man, i really wish the repeats weren't on so early in the morning.
hahahaha that episode was called 'The Hush', it was amazing!

I loved the bit with the projector when Buffy was making hand gestures about how she was going to kill them, and xander thought she was doing something else, his face was priceless!

[Andy]

Buffy: We have a marching jazz band?
Oz: Yeah, but, you know, since the best jazz is improvisational, we'd be going off in all directions, banging into floats... scary.

And of course: Faith: Thank God we're hot chicks with superpowers.

The whole female empowerment theme of this show is a bit much isn't it?

Yeah, but I could get over it because it was such a good show. That quote is great, I loved Oz's sense of humour. I just watched an episode that had this line in:

Anya: I have finesse, I have finesse coming out of my bottom!

[sleepygrlgreen]

Yeah, but I could get over it because it was such a good show. That quote is great, I loved Oz's sense of humour. I just watched an episode that had this line in:

Anya: I have finesse, I have finesse coming out of my bottom!Haha! Ah, great one.

Here's another one I like:

Willow: "He's shot! Are you okay?"
Oz: "I, um, I'm shot, you know. Wow! It's odd. And painful."

[Coco]

It got seriously naff towards the end. But the first, hmm, five or so seasons were brilliant. Oz was sorely missed. I didn't like Dawn or Willow's troll-like lesbian lover. It seemed to get more bogged down toward the end and a lot less witty. When they were in school and the first year of university it was solid gold though. I enjoyed Angel too, but that also went off the rails with that whole Conor thing.

I never got into Angel, probably because I never liked him when he was in Buffy. Obviously, I liked all the gay Willow stuff, I didn't really like the girlfriend but her coming out produced quite a few funny moments. Here's a question, who was your overall favourite character and don't give me all that 'they were all good' crap, you can only pick one!!! I think Anya was my favourite.

[Coco]

Oz.... hands down. I thought you'd like the gay stuff. I really didn't.

[punkpixie]

Oz.... hands down. I thought you'd like the gay stuff. I really didn't.
haha, I think you didn't like the gay stuff because it was what made Oz leave.

[Coco]

You going to be on for a bit? AIM?

[punkpixie]

No not now, because I'm going out in about 5 minutes, but I might be on when I get back? Will you be on then?

[Coco]

Nah, probably not. Wasn't anything important.

[band_geek]

I think it was one of teh best shows aver! That and Angel, I ahve all the seasons!! I loved that so to fucking death!

[sleepygrlgreen]

Angel was really good, but I don't understand why it ended the way it did. ::sigh::

[Gleebo]

BTVS and Angel will always be my two favorite shows ever. I think the title of the show and the shitty movie put off alot of people on a show that was much more diverse and intellectual than anyone that didn't watch it gave it credit for.

[Andy]

1. Faith
2. Oz
3. Xander

[punkpixie]

1. Faith
2. Oz
3. Xander
Hmm top three huh?

I think mine would go

1.Anya
2.Xander
3.Oz/Giles/Willow.

ahahaha

[sleepygrlgreen]

I'm going with

1. Oz
2. Xander
3. Anya

[Nick Lopez]

i liked it, but it was never like, the single greatest show ever, as some people see it.

[try_pie]

i liked buffy but i was never really a sci-fi tv series fan, i'm more like a sitcom fan.

[punkpixie]

i liked buffy but i was never really a sci-fi tv series fan, i'm more like a sitcom fan.To be honest I always liked the comedy aspect of Buffy better than the supernatural stuff. Although the fact that they blended the two so well just proves what an awesome show it was.

[Gleebo]

Yep...nothing blends comedy/drama/suspense/scifi/horror/angst as good as Buffy and Angel did. Odds are nothing ever will.

[punkpixie]

Nope. They will try, and they will fail.

[iwatchthesky]

God, Buffy is/was my absolute favorite show.
My top 3:
1. Oz
2. Angel
3. Willow

I was never much of an Angel fan while it was on, but now I'm watching the DVDs.

[Nick Lopez]

eh, i watched buffy, but it wasn't like, THE BEST SHOW EVER. like other people think it is.

[agentGumbo]

my favorite character was Oz, i'm pretty sure i cried when he left

[Gleebo]

Nope. They will try, and they will fail.
Joss Whedon is god. Firefly was sweet as fuck too, can't wait for the movie.

[afk999]

great show

[Noodlez1090]

Buffy was my fav. show to! I was sad when it ended though. I was never that into angel. I never really liked angel at all. When it ended i had nothing to do on tuesdays at 9 pm anymore. lol

[protagonist]

I loved when Spike was bad ass. They really wussed him down at the end.

Quotes:

Willow: "Why else would she be acting like such a B-I-T-C-H?"
Giles: "Willow, I think we're a little too old to be spelling things out."
Xander: "A bitca?"
Giles: "Apparently not."

Giles: You might have let me in on your plan while he throttled me.
Spike: Oh, poor Watcher. Did your life pass before your eyes? Cup of tea, cup of tea, almost got shagged, cup of tea?

Spike: "You won. All right? You came in, and you killed them and you took their land. That's what conquering nations do. It's what Caesar did, and he's not going around saying, 'I came, I conquered, I felt really bad about it.'"

Ah, That was fun.

Ah, That was fun.ahahahahahaha! I laughed for a solid ten minutes at the one where Spike says: 'almost got shagged' they were really funny together.

I found a ton of quotes, I could go on for days here:

Giles: So, uh, trouble with, uh, studies?
Buffy: This is a bad time.
Giles: You keep saying that.
Buffy: Well it looks pretty bad! I think someone had just a little too much free time on their hands.
Giles: I'm not supposed to have a private life?
Buffy: No! 'Cause you're very, very old, and it's gross.

Xander: You up for a little reconnaissance?
Buffy: You mean where we all sculpt and paint and stuff?
Xander: No, that was the renaissance.
Buffy: Oh. I've had a really long week.

Xander: The mayor is gonna kill us all during graduation.
Cordelia: Oh. Are you gonna go to fifth period?
Xander: I'm thinking I might skip it.
Cordelia: Yeah. Me too.

Anya: Oh, that's very humorous. Make fun of the ex-demon. I can just hear you in private: 'I dislike that Anya. She's newly human and strangely literal.' "

Ok I'll stop after this one, it's quite long but so funny..

Xander: Basically, I got as far as Oxnard and the engine fell out of my car, and that was literally. So, I ended up washing dishes at The Fabulous Ladies Night Club for about a month and a half while I tried to pay for the repairs. No one really bothered me or even spoke to me until one night when one of the male strippers called in sick and no power on this earth will make me tell you the rest of that story. Suffice to say I traded my car in for one that wasn't entirely made of rust, came trundling back home to the arms of my loving parents, where everything was exactly as it was except I sleep in the basement and I have to pay rent. How's college?
Buffy: Male strippers?
Xander: No power on this earth!
Buffy: Okay. College is good.
Xander: Okay, uh, once more with even less feeling.

[fake empire]

I love this show so much

[color_coded]

Wow, I didn't know there was a Buffy thread.

[SlappedActor]

This show was fantastic. Whedon is the man.

[stayillogical]

I'm watching the episode Hush right now. One of my favorite of the series, the gentleman are so creepy. I also think the scene with the projector and Gile's slides is hilarious. Buffy's reaction at her big hipped caricature is hilarious.

[color_coded]

Hush is awesome. I'm currently re-watching the entire series. I'm on season 5. I hate Dawn so much.

[Galedeep]

The Gentlemen and their Henchmen scare me fucking shitless. Them and the Gnarl from Season 7 are actually nightmare fuel of dramatic proportions.

I love this show so much. I think it may be time for another Whedon marathon soon, where I watch all of his shows from start-to-finish. Though I still need to grab the Dollhouse DVDs if I'm going to do that.

[dellico]

Does this show get better after the first season? I'm five episodes in and it seems pretty rough. I usually love Whedon so I figured it was time to give this a shot.

[SlappedActor]

It gets much better, stick with it. The first season was decent, but you can tell that Whedon and the cast were still finding their footing.

[crimsonandclovr]

Good to know, thanks for the input. Seriously struggling through Season 1 right now... just trying to get it over with.

[SpyKi]

Yeah, just zip through S1, then you'll get to the good stuff.

[Grad]

Good to know, thanks for the input. Seriously struggling through Season 1 right now... just trying to get it over with.
It gets better once you get to season 2. I struggled through season 1 as well, but once you've seen the entire series you learn to appreciate season 1 for what it is.

[dellico]

Just started the finale for the first season... excited to get some payoff soon.

[Grad]

Has anyone been keeping up with season 8 (comics)?

[raptorz44]

I was gonna watch the whole series this summer...but by midway through June I kinda stopped...I stopped near the beginning of Season 3. The only channel it seems to air on is LOGO(the lgbt channel). I occasionally catch an episode there. Loved it while I watched it.

[cshadows2887]

THere's a season 8!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[aradiantsunrise]

In comic book form.

[raptorz44]

THere's a season 8!?!?!?!?!?!?!
It's a comic book series. I haven't read any of it, but I've seen the plots to it, and there's some interesting stuff. Some interesting returning characters. Don't wanna spoil it though.

[cshadows2887]

Goddam it. I have to start reading comics now?

[raptorz44]

Goddam it. I have to start reading comics now?
Meh one could argue that just reading synopsises of them on wikipedia would suffice.

[Whalejaw]

I'm glad this thread got bumped. Reminds me to go on a Buffy binge!

[aradiantsunrise]

I wish Eliza Dushku did a Faith spin-off show instead of that lame Tru Calling show.

[cshadows2887]

I wish Eliza Dushku did a Faith spin-off show instead of that lame Tru Calling show.

Not that it has Faith, but have you watched Dollhouse?

[aradiantsunrise]

Not that it has Faith, but have you watched Dollhouse?

I saw like two episodes. Thought it was okay.

[cshadows2887]

I saw like two episodes. Thought it was okay.

Gets better. It's on netflix instant view. As is everything else Joss has ever done.

[aradiantsunrise]

Gets better. It's on netflix instant view. As is everything else Joss has ever done.

Maybe I'll finish it sometime. I already own all the Buffy/Angel seasons on DVD. :-d

[cshadows2887]

I own the whole Buffy series and FIrefly, I'm currnetly halfway through season 1 of Dollhouse and Season 2 of Angel on instant.

I've actually never watched Firefly. People on here seem to like it a lot.

[cshadows2887]

I've actually never watched Firefly. People on here seem to like it a lot.

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right fucking now. Stop everything and watch it. There's only like 13 episodes and a movie. It's genius.

[aradiantsunrise]

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right fucking now. Stop everything and watch it. There's only like 13 episodes and a movie. It's genius.

Haha, if it's so genius, why did it only last 13 episodes and a movie? :-p

Was the movie in theaters?

[SpyKi]

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right fucking now. Stop everything and watch it. There's only like 13 episodes and a movie. It's genius.
This. Firefly's brilliant.

[Whalejaw]

Haha, if it's so genius, why did it only last 13 episodes and a movie? :-p

Was the movie in theaters?

Because the show was on Fox and they put it on Friday nights. It's my favorite Whedon show. You should definitely check it out.

[cshadows2887]

Haha, if it's so genius, why did it only last 13 episodes and a movie? :-p

Was the movie in theaters?

Because Fox sucks hard and they aired the episodes out of order. And yes the movie was in theaters. And it was glorious. It's one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time.

[aradiantsunrise]

Because the show was on Fox and they put it on Friday nights. It's my favorite Whedon show. You should definitely check it out.
Friday nights, ouch. I will eventually.

Because Fox sucks hard and they aired the episodes out of order. And yes the movie was in theaters. And it was glorious. It's one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time.

Why would they air them out of order? Stupid Fox.

[samsara]

Havent watched this in so long. I need to soon.


Never watched the last 2 seasons.

[cshadows2887]

Friday nights, ouch. I will eventually.



Why would they air them out of order? Stupid Fox.

They thought the second episode was more exciting. So they led with it.

[aradiantsunrise]

They thought the second episode was more exciting. So they led with it.

Squares.

[Mufftown]

I wish Eliza Dushku did a Faith spin-off show instead of that lame Tru Calling show.

That's Right. Also a Willow Spinoff would be cool.

[crimsonandclovr]

I was gonna watch the whole series this summer...but by midway through June I kinda stopped...I stopped near the beginning of Season 3. The only channel it seems to air on is LOGO(the lgbt channel). I occasionally catch an episode there. Loved it while I watched it.

haha whenever i watch it on Logo, i have to suffer through the weird commercials. the previews for movies like 'wet hot american summer' (or something like that) and the ru paul's drag school (or something like that). haha they're so weird.

[Grad]

A Spike spin-ff would have been cool as well.

[aradiantsunrise]

Keeping Buffy going would have been nice too.

[cshadows2887]

Eh. S7 was good, but it was getting a bit tired. They ended at the right time. Firefly, however, could have used another 5 seasons or so.

[aradiantsunrise]

This isn't the Firefly thread, get outta here.


jk<3

[Mibabalou]

i liked the old movie, that girl was hot

[cshadows2887]

SMG is hotter. Plus, Charisma Carpenter, Michelle Trachtenberg and a young Alyson Hannigan. Yes please.

[aradiantsunrise]

I had a huge fucking crush on Charisma Carpenter, haha. I almost cried thinking she was gonna die in that episode where she falls and gets impaled by a rod or something. :whistle:

[cshadows2887]

It's one of the best reasons for watching Angel. It's like a repository for Buffy characters who were discarded too soon.

[aradiantsunrise]

True that. I didn't like what they ended up doing with her in Angel though.

[Grad]

You mean having sex with Angel's son and the whole birthing a demon child? Yeah, that was stupid.

[aradiantsunrise]

I didn't like that at all.

[Grad]

I miss Anya.

[stayillogical]

My favorite Faith was Faith in Angel. Her episodes were some of my favorites.

[aradiantsunrise]

Agreed. Faith episodes on Angel were my favorite ones.

[Grad]

I found Faith more bearable than Buffy in Season 7.

[cshadows2887]

Yeah. They just didn't know what to do with Buffy in season 7.

[stayillogical]

Agreed. Faith episodes on Angel were my favorite ones.

"Step away from the glass." So badass.

[Whalejaw]

Top 5 favorite episodes...go!

1. Hush
2. Once More With Feeling
3. The Wish
4. The Gift
5. Who Are You?

[SpyKi]

I don't know about 5 but my favourite is Once More With Feeling; I love a good musical.

[Mufftown]

My favorite Episodes:

Innocence
Passion
Becoming Part 1&2
Lovers Walk
The Wish
The Zeppo
Doppelgangland
Earshot
Graduation Day Part 1&2
Hush
Who Are You?
Restless
The Body
The Gift
Once More With Feeling
Chosen

[crimsonandclovr]

aww they just started it up again at Logo. i think season 1 is playing right now. geez i hated season 1.

[crimsonandclovr]

You mean having sex with Angel's son and the whole birthing a demon child? Yeah, that was stupid.

i've never seen an episode of Angel (or Firefly for that matter), but holy shit.

[Grad]

^ Yup, it's really bad. I just watch it for Spike. Too bad he's only in the last season.

[Whalejaw]

Season 4 of Angel is the only one I have major gripes with.

[Asadcow]

Season 4 is alright until about the last third of it, my least favorite stuff Whedon has done. Which is unfortunate because a lot of the season had potential if they had done it right.

My list shifts pretty frequently but my top 5 at the moment would be (In no particular order)

Buffy:
The Gift
The Body
Who Are You?
Selfless
Innocence

Angel:
Lullaby
Dear Boy
Reprise
Not Fade Away
Spin the Bottle

I feel like I picked rather obvious choices for Buffy, with the exception of maybe Selfless and Who are You, but I just love Anya so much and her story is just so great. The transition from her flashback from OM,WF to being inpaled is one of my favorite Buffy moments. I'm also a big Faith fan and I love how they turned a typical gimmick episode into a great look at her character. Her "Because it's Wrong" line is awesome.

Spin the Bottle is one of the few times the humor in Angel doesn't fall flat for me ("I'm Head Boy!"..." I wonder how he got that title...")

Darla was actually one of my favorite characters in the buffyverse so episodes focusing on her really stick out to me, especially Lullaby. And Dear Boy was a great way to officially kick off her arc.

The Scene with Holland Manners in the elevator during "Reprise" makes the episode for me, Angel at rock bottom was handled beautifully. The writers truly made me believe that Angel had given up so much that he would rather be Angelus, and that is a dificult task to accomplish

I don't think I need to say much about Not Fade away, just shear brilliance.

[dakota0135]

Season 4 of Angel is the only one I have major gripes with.
I hated it. I hated Jasmine and Connor and the whole Connor-Cordelia thing. As if everybody was just supposed to forget about Angel and Buffy? He would never have gone for Cordelia.

I have to agree about Hush and Once More With Felling and Who Are You? as top episodes. Earshot, Halloween, The Wish, Fear Itself, Bad Girls, Phases, Pangs, Something Blue, Buffy Vs. Dracula, Conversations With Dead People and Storyteller are some of my other favourites. That list was a bit longer than I expected...

[Grad]

Apparently, Xander and Dawn are dating in the season 8 comics and Buffy is jealous.

[Asadcow]

The season 8 comics can get a little ridiculous, i choose to think "Chosen" was the official end of the series.

[Whalejaw]

The season 8 comics can get a little ridiculous, i choose to think "Chosen" was the official end of the series.

Season 8 is more than a little ridiculous. It's kind of sad because it could've been really cool.

[Grad]

Exactly. How did they end up with a super high tech base and helicopters? It's pretty much X-Men, just with slayers.

[TakeLotsWithAlcohol]

Re-watching both this and Angel, decided to skip out on Season One because I find it terrible.

[Asadcow]

Season 1 has Prophecy Girl, which is still nowhere near the quality of what followed. When trying to get someone hooked on Buffy, I usually start on School Hard and go from there.

[cshadows2887]

Apparently, Xander and Dawn are dating in the season 8 comics and Buffy is jealous.

Thanks for the tip, now I don't have to go find those comics. Whew.

[Whalejaw]

Thanks for the tip, now I don't have to go find those comics. Whew.

That's actually one of the less absurd things that happens in season 8.

[cshadows2887]

That's actually one of the less absurd things that happens in season 8.

So glad I didn't start reading it then. Sounds like pissing on the grave of a great show to me.

[samsara]

Am I the only one annoyed with Angel and Buffys relationship? The entire time they are both such whiny asses.

[cshadows2887]

I like the broody thing.

Am I the only one annoyed with Angel and Buffys relationship? The entire time they are both such whiny asses.

I enjoyed it until season 3 where it got a little repetitive. I like the scene where they make fun of it in The Zeppo.

[samsara]

I like the broody thing.
I think it got way past broody at some point.

I enjoyed it until season 3 where it got a little repetitive. I like the scene where they make fun of it in The Zeppo.

Exactly! I'm on season 3 right now and I noticed its "I love you", "But we cant be together", "I dont think I can live without you" repeat.

[Asadcow]

Pretty much my only gripe with season 3 was how unnecessary Angel was, they could have just brought him back from the hell dimension in LA and have ATS go from there. Though I may be the only person I know who actually really likes "Amends."

[samsara]

Anyone else notice all the random famous people on this show? They were all so young.

[Asadcow]

When I think of younger versions of famous stars making cameo appearances on television, Freaks and Geeks is the only thing that comes to mind. I actually really can't think of anyone on Buffy, who did you have in mind?

[Grad]

Wentworth Miller from Prison Break is in one episode. David Boreanaz is now doing Bones. Alyson Hannigan is on How I Met Your Mother. That's all I can think of. I have no idea what happened to Sarah Michelle Gellar.

[cshadows2887]

Jeremy Renner was on Angel.

[dakota0135]

I have no idea what happened to Sarah Michelle Gellar.
She did Daphne in Scooby Doo... So pretty much nothing...

Summer Glau was in Angel as a ballerina.

[Asadcow]

I also forgot about Josh Holloway, he was a vampire in "City Of..."

Season 8 is getting animated.

[WTG]

I am currently in a huge relapse into Buffy. To prepare myself for close to two years of no new Whedon while he takes care of The Avengers, I have been going back through and watching all the Joss Whedon written/directed episodes. They are quite spectacular snap shots into the awesomeness of the show.

[Whalejaw]

I recently rewatched seasons 4 and 5.

[Miss Heartcore]

I love Wentworth's episode...how he was a dick but then turned nice.

[Grad]

Five by five.

[cshadows2887]

I still don't have any clue what that fucking means!

[Miss Heartcore]

Apparently, Xander and Dawn are dating in the season 8 comics and Buffy is jealous.
I don't know what's worse...this storyline or when they made Buffy have a lesbian relationship. The comics are out of control...I refuse to read them.

[Whalejaw]

I don't know what's worse...this storyline or when they made Buffy have a lesbian relationship. The comics are out of control...I refuse to read them.

All the bullshit relationships they came up with in season 8 pale in comparison to the main plot line of the season. It's really embarrassing.

Yup. The comics are ridiculous. Joss needs to come back to the buffyverse and do a new tv show.

That would make my life. Too bad with The Avengers it wouldn't come for awhile.

[movingxpictures]

Never bothered with the comics since Spike died in the finale.

For realsies though, Joss Whedon coming up with a new show would make my life.

[Somedays]

The comics are so bad that I would probably rather read fan fiction.

However the show was so amazing! I got into it after it was done airing and I watched all the episodes insanely quickly. It will probably stand the test of time and be one of my favorite shows ever.

Spike came back in Angel Season 5. Not gonna lie, I watched 4 horrible seasons of Angel just to see Spike.

Do a show based around the hellmouth in Cleveland.

[Whalejaw]

If Joss was to ever return to one of his series for another go I think I'd rather see more Firefly. Buffy ran its course.

[Asadcow]

I would say Buffy definitely ran its course. It was a shame Angel ended when it did though, the 2nd half of season 5 is one of my favorite things Joss has produced. Also one of the best series finales ever.

[WTG]

The new Buffy movie has been officially greenlit. With no involvement of Joss Whedon, and none of the characters of the tv show except Buffy. Why? Because "Buffy has a built in fan base". As part of the Buffy fanbase, I will never support this travesty. Joss Whedon has expressed his disappointment already, as have David Boreanez and Emma Caufield. This is sickening.

Same. I don't think any Buffy fan would be interested in such project. This is stupid.

[Miss Heartcore]

But, Buffy has built a fanbase based on the dynamics of the cast along with the storylines produced by Whedon.

Anything outside of that is dumb but it's not what made fans fall in love with the series.

[SlappedActor]

Worst. Idea. Ever.

[vivatoto56]

No fucking way....fuck that.

Fail.

[color_coded]

Gross.

[vivatoto56]

Greatest quote ever...

As for Joss Whedon, the man behind the popular TV series responded with a statement that ends with a joke that he will be rebooting Warner Bros' Batman franchise with a project called The Dark Knight Rises Way Earlier Than That Other One And Also More Cheaply And In Toronto.

...As for the movie? Fuck that noise.

[WTG]

Does anyone follow the Buffy season 8 comics? I don't read them, because I am cheap. But, I read the summaries/download them sometimes.

Angel killed Giles. He was possessed, and felt really bad about it afterward...but Giles has been killed off. Sad...

[prefix-core]

I'm only on season five of my re-watch. The comic comes after. Thank goodness for the spoiler blocker thinger!

This. I enjoy the Buffy comics, but they're not the same, they don't seem part of Buffy. Angel season 5 was incredible!

And Buffy without Joss can GET THE FCUK OUT OF TOWN.

I started revisiting this around 9 on netflix, and now it's almost 4am but I can't stop. It amazes me how consistently great this show was. Every season is awesome in its own way.

Well, that answers that question. Haha. ;-)

I read them on my computer. Not really worth it. Squandered opportunities (Spike and Buffy seeing each other for the first time since he died was a nothing moment), ridiculous moments (Buffy goes lesbo out of no where, dawn and xander hook up, angel and buffy have sex in space), and it's only noteworthy for a major character death ( Giles gets killed by a possessed Angel ).

I think I'm just going to pretend that the season eight comics never existed.

It gets worse. Everyone finds out about vampires, Harmony gets a vampire reality show; Spike commands an airship of spider people; Buffy and Angel having sex creates a new universe that then has its own personality; there is a magical egg in the Hellmouth that is guarded by the Master and is the source of all magic in the world; they destroy the egg and all magic leaves the world. Oh, and Willow is having an affair on Kennedy with a demon goddess, and Warren is alive with flayed skin still. There's more awfulness too. Ugh. And the Angel: After the Fall comics were so good...

I literally laughed out loud between every statement.

If you want to enjoy good post Buffyverse content, check out the I think 18 issue Angel: After the Fall. It takes place a few months after the finale of Angel with Los Angeles as a hell on earth, Angel turned human to prevent him from helping, and Gunn dead and a vampire. It's pretty damn good.

[SlappedActor]

I think Joss actually apologized, more or less, about the season 8 comics. Since comics are so cheap and the only limit is your imagination, they went a little overboard (or a lot overboard).

But yeah, they sucked pretty hard. It was like reading fanfiction.

[prefix-core]

That sounds awful. And hilarious. Nice save, boys!

How far in are you? Season 1's pretty weak.

[SlappedActor]

Yeah, the show was definitely still finding its footing in season 1. Although "Prophecy Girl" is fantastic.

Season 2 is one of the most brutally emotional seasons of any show ever. I need to rewatch that sometime soon.

[x1onexwo1fx]

How far in are you? Season 1's pretty weak.

i had a feeling season 1 wasn't the strongest of the series. i'm about five episodes in.

[WTG]

Prophecy Girl was the first great episode, followed by the best season (maybe best two seasons) the show ever had.

[FigureItOut]

Need to start my rewatch of this soon. I don't think I've seen a full episode since the show ended.

[SpyKi]

Yeah, it's probably the weakest, in my opinion, but 2 and 3 are incredible.

wait, so after the third season, the show isn't as good?

[WTG]

wait, so after the third season, the show isn't as good?

It's still good, but, to me at least, the high school years were the best. Also didn't like the plot device used at the start of season 5.

I'd rank em 2 > 3 >7 > 4/5 (can't decide) > 6 >1

[SpyKi]

2 > 3/5 > 7/6 > 1/4

[SlappedActor]

2 = 3 > 5 > 6 > 4 > 1 > 7

I can forgive season 1, because the show was still figuring things out. I can't forgive season 7, which threw away a lot of what made the show great and only had a couple truly great episodes.

[Whalejaw]

Even though 2 and 3 are the best as a whole, the later seasons contain the series' greatest individual episodes. It's all worth watching.

You think Dollhouse is better than Buffy? Buffy was the OG of those series and I can't even believe you're trying to compare it to Glee or any of those shows when this was the first. Sadness.

Correct

i think dollhouse is better than what i've seen so far of buffy, which would be the first five episodes, yes. is that so wrong? several people have already stated that the first season is the weakest of the series. and just because buffy came first doesn't mean it's the best. i vaguely remember a poll on here asking which whedon show was the best, and firefly had a clear lead. my comparing buffy to supernatural, glee, and firefly are only me mentioning shows i've already seen that share certain elements with the show. buffy reminds me of those shows because supernatural is about hunting monsters, glee takes place in a high school, and firefly has the same quality character and dialogue goodness we can expect of whedon. that's all i'm saying. i'm not saying they're better, or that they influenced the show in any way, that would be ridiculous. i know buffy came first, and i know i haven't gotten to the better parts of it yet. i have high hopes for buffy, and i already enjoy the hell out of it. shouldn't that be enough?

[x1onexwo1fx]

just realized the first season is only 12 episodes. so i guess i'm done with season one.

only two great episodes so far, Angel and the finale. the rest were either good or decent, but none were bad. second season is supposedly the best of the series, huh? stoked.

1st half of the second season is pretty weak, 2nd half is incredible. Season 3 or 5 is my personal favorite.

samesies. it ended on a great note too, with the series finale, relating back to the show's core message of female empowerment. thumbs up, overall!

[Keri]

I have seen every episode thanks to Netflix. I loved the show, but do not really have a favorite season. And I know it added to the show, but Dawn was so annoying and dark witch Willow I just did not enjoy. Spike was awesome (for the most part).

[Whalejaw]

I would say season 3 is the best overall season, but 5 comes really close for me. The rest of the seasons are hard for me to rank because each one has some of the absolute best and worst episodes of the series.

finished season 3.

season 2 > season 1 > season 3

although season 3 did have some of the best episodes of the series so far, as an overall season it didn't compare. as much as i loved the character development in some of the protagonists in season 3, mostly with Willow (and hell, Eliza Dushku as Faith was a delight to watch), i think as far as the bad guys go, Angel as the main villain, with Spike and Drusilla at his side, was much more entertaining and engrossing to watch than the mayor and his stupid ascension.

i'll be watching the rest of Buffy and Angel in the order they aired, so pretty much alternating between Buffy and Angel episodes. Buffy season 4 premiere and Angel pilot already have a little bit of crossover, so i'm sure i made the right choice. i found the Angel pilot to be much more interesting, almost perfect even. anyone in here prefer the series Angel over Buffy?

[rezma]

This was my favourite show growing up, have watched it right through a good few times. Might do so again this summer. I enjoy every series, although 2 and 3 are my favourites. So many great characters, so many early crushes.

i really dislike the main villain of season 3, a lot. almost everything else about season 3 is superior to season 1, of course. it's kind of like how i would rate the seasons of dexter, not exactly by best plot or character development, but by best villain. i don't know, i'm just weird.

I VASTLY prefer Angel, as much as I love Buffy. The tone is so much better, I love every member of the Angel Investigations team (they pretty much add one new cast member per year, which keeps the storylines fresh and give a natural build to the group), and seasons 2 and 5 are pretty much perfection (season 1 can be considered up there too).

Fair enough. I just think that the episodes in season 3 were a lot stronger than the episodes in season 1, with better development of the plot and characters. Oh, and I love Faith. She's one of my favourite characters in the entire Buffyverse. I find myself constantly going back and watching season 3 whereas I don't think I've ever revisited season 1.

You should post here to let us know if your enjoyment of the show is enchanced by watching Buffy/Angel side by side. I always wanted to do this but I've never gotten around to it.

Edit: The order I originally watched them in was really messed up. Something like this:
Angel season 1, Angel season 2, Buffy season 1, Angel season 3, Buffy season 2, Angel season 4, Angel season 5 and then the rest of Buffy.

[WTG]

The Buffy/Angel flip works really well during season 1, works a bit during season 2, but during season 3, after Buffy switched networks, there is no crossover. Season 4 of Angel and season 7 of Buffy do hook back up again with some major events crossing shows that deeply effect both storylines, so overall, I'd say it's a good way to watch.

There is a point in S6/ S3 where Angel clearly becomes the better show.In my opinion, from here on out Buffy kind of fluctuates in quality between absolutely amazing and plain boring, while Angel just keeps getting better and better, with one small snag in Season 4. Though Angel is lacking in some of the humor Buffy has, it knows how to handle it's characters far better.

Edit: Knows how to handle all of it's characters.....except one.

Haha yeah His cameos in season 5 were alright, I would have loved to see THAT version of Connor in a very different season 4, instead were stuck with the boring angsty psychopath who never really changes through out the course of the season, which is weird for Angel. Cordelia of course got off track for awhile but her cameo in season 5 brought her arc to a close really well, its weird watching that episode after an early episode of Buffy.

[x1onexwo1fx]

just finished Angel season 1 episode 9. fuck.

the going back and forth has been really rewarding so far. specifically, the whole angel in a buffy episode then buffy in an angel episode was done rather nicely. as for the storylines of the separate shows, buffy has been very whimsical, which is very hit or miss at times, but its serious moments, especially concerning willow, are some really great scenes. angel, on the other hand, has been much darker, and i like dark. so far, i'm starting to prefer angel over buffy. but i have to say, the other day i rewatched an episode of the second season of supernatural ("heart," if you must know and are familiar with the show) and cried like a baby. rewatched! not even the end of buffy season 2 evoked such a strong emotional reaction from me, and for me that's probably the saddest scene in the buffyverse so far. buffy and angel are great shows, don't get me wrong, but on an emotional level, neither have gotten close to becoming what supernatural is to me. now, i'm really hoping later episodes will change that.

This is exactly what I'm doing right now, man. On episode 15 of Season 4 of Buffy, and Season 1 of Angel.

Such a fun experience.

[x1onexwo1fx]

forgot to say, so far, the whole demon hunting plotline is just as interesting as buffy's relationship with riley--it isn't. goodie goodie spike is fun, but i'd rather rewatch season 2. angel's overarching storyline's had less exposure, but it looks to be more promising.

I think 4 is better than 1 or 7, but it's always been hard for me to rate the season lower because Hush is quite possibly the best Buffy episode ever.
I really like 7, way more than 4 at least. All the stuff with Riley and Adam and The Initiative just annoyed me. Hush is one of the few redeeming factors of the season. Season 4 was the only time I ever had a hard time getting motivation to watch the show.

hush didn't scare me. i guess supernatural desensitized me. for one thing, once you meet death himself, it's kind of hard to top that. sorry i keep mentioning that show in this thread. but yeah, amazing episode.

[rawesome]

I just finished season 3 and watched the first episode of season 4 and the first episode of Angel.

I'm obsessed.

I'm excited to finish so I can come in here and talk about it!

Is that show super good?

Is that show super good?

yes, one of my favorites. fifth season, in which they're trying to stop the biblical apocalypse, is incredible, certainly one of the best seasons of television i've ever seen. though, with that said, if you do decide to watch it, start from the beginning. the overarching plotline of the first five seasons is fantastic.

spike: "let's kill something!"

ahaha yesss he's back sort of

Yeah, I watched the first five seasons. It was written originally as a 5 season arc, so it all comes together really nicely. I've heard mixed things about season 6 so I'm kind of hesitant to start watching it.

The first half's a little shaky but the second half's pretty great. I like it more than season 1 or 3.

Ugh! After watching the first five seasons and then going back here and there, I kind of hate Season 1. It's just got so much filler. I could rewatch the other four over and over again, but I have no desire to ever sit through the entirety of season 1 again.

I think 3 gets a lot of flack; while it is lacking in comparison, I think there is some really good stuff. Plus, it just seems more like season 2.5 than anything; it's really just there to tie up season 2 and set up the next two.

you should watch season 6. the later episodes more than make up for the shakiness of the early ones.

just watched Who Are You? easily one of my favorite episodes of season 4. not that it has much competition...

i love faith so much right now. not that i didn't love her before, but damn. ever since she joined up with the mayor, i was hoping she'd go good again (don't get me wrong, bad faith is fun to watch), and it happened, and i'm so glad they took her character in that direction. also, holy shit, sarah michelle gellar did a great job as faith being buffy, better than eliza dushku did buffy being faith.

I forgot that was a season 4 episode. Definitely another favorite of mine.

Seasons 2 and 5 of supernatural absolutely destroy

since there's no separate thread for angel and i'm sure most of you in here have already seen the series anyway, i thought i'd ask about something here concerning "eternity."

did angelus really come back? i was hoping it was angel acting to scare off rebecca. he's done it before when they were fooling faith into revealing info about the mayor's plot. but this time he never broke from the act until after he was knocked unconscious. he does say to cordy and wes that he had to apologize, but that could be for either actually becoming angelus or faking it, so i don't know. is it meant to be unclear, or am i reading into this all wrong?

Yes, he came back. It was an artificial "moment of pure happiness", which made Angelus come back, but only temporarily. It was really Angelus.

[stayillogical]

I forgot about that episode.
