Hi Slayerettes!

Guess I'll start off then!
Fave characters: Spike before obsession with Buffy; Giles and Xander.
Least Fave: Faith
Fave episodes: OMWT, Hush, Pangs, Prophecy Girl, Graduation Day, Becoming and soooo many more!

Well this seems innocuous enough, I suppose. It isn't quite what I would have expected to run into on MST2, but alright.

Introductions, you say?
I'm an old fan of BtVS up until season 6 - I stubbornly refuse to read or watch anything beyond that for certain reasons - and beyond watching and reading I have even dabbled just a teeny bit into the whole fanfic writing thing for this show as well.

Favourite characters? Ahh, but that is easy. ^_^
Tara reigns as number one for me, although both Willow and Faith are characters I love.
Favourite villain is of course Glorificus, she was just SO crazy. XD
Least favourite: Riley, followed by Angel.

Favourite episodes: Hush, New Moon Rising, Family, Doppelgängland, The Gift, Once More With Feeling. Honestly though, the show is full of great episodes.

/Ryûchan

straightroad 10th Apr 2009 3:32 AM

I agree Tara is pretty awesome, Glory was the best and heaps funner than the Mayor (which is saying a lot)
however I only liked Willow in Seasons 1 and 2..I didn't like the dabbling in the black arts thing she got into..
And well, Faith...I strongly dislike her

jay33721 14th Apr 2009 2:14 PM

Ah, my favourite show!

Fav characters: Xander, Willow, Tara and Anya.

Least fav: Faith...

Fav episode: ONCE MORE WITH FEELING!

straightroad 15th Apr 2009 1:43 AM

Welcome Jay, to this very small group

jay33721 15th Apr 2009 7:27 AM

How could I resist the temptation of sharing my love of all things Buffy with a select group of fellow fans...?

straightroad 16th Apr 2009 12:30 AM

Hehe I loved OMWT too
"I've got a theory..."

jay33721 16th Apr 2009 12:39 AM

"...that it's a demon.
A dancing demon... :-S Nah, something isn't right there."
Then it turned out to actually be exactly that. Go figure.
I would've thought, "Bunnies, bunnies it must be BUNNIIIEEES!!"

straightroad 16th Apr 2009 12:48 AM

Or it could be midgets!
*crickets chirping*

jay33721 16th Apr 2009 7:33 AM

Oh, well, it doesn't matter. (What can't we face if we're together?)

Ryûchan 16th Apr 2009 7:52 PM

And hey, Buffy's died twice. XD

But lets not forget:
They got... the mustard... OOOOUUUUUUT!

jay33721 16th Apr 2009 9:23 PM

I'm really glad about that, you know...
But by far the most beautiful song was Tara's 'I'm under your spell'. It nearly made me cry... (That's just a joke, though.)

Ryûchan 16th Apr 2009 10:10 PM

Oh I agree, it is so beautiful... and she has such a nice singing voice.
"Through the fire" is another one I really like, but oh GOD do I wince every time I hear that awful "think I was in heeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaven" *shudder*

*hums* It isn't right, it isn't fair... there was no parking anywhere...

:D

jay33721 16th Apr 2009 11:51 PM

"...I think that hydrant wasn't there... Why can't you let it goooo? I think I paid more than my shaaaare! I'm just a poor girl, don't you care? Hey, I'm not wearing underwear!"
That's what I got when I took the soundtrack and filtered out everything else. Nearly laughed my head off when I first heard that...

Ryûchan 17th Apr 2009 12:19 AM

Yup! Especially knowing who it is that sings. XD

Regarding songs in BtVS, I fell completely head over heels for Giles' version of "Behind blue eyes", it is such a crime he never recorded it beyond the snippet that's in the show. T.T Or if he has, I've somehow missed it.

straightroad 17th Apr 2009 12:58 AM

I liked the theme song most Ehehe!

And what about "Rest In Peace"! That was awesome!
"If my heart could beat it would BREAK my chest
but I can see you're unimpressed..
so let me beeeeeeee"

And how about Giles' song!
"Wish I could play the father and take you by the hand
Wish I could staaaaaayyyy herrre but now I understand
I'm standing in the waaayyyy"
Tony Head has such a beautiful voice :lovestruc Love it!

And how about
"She doesn't know what pleases
His penis got diseases from a Chumash tribe!"

Aaand how about Dawn's song! (no wait that was awful)

Sweet was awesome too
"Why'd you run away? Don't you like my style?"

jay33721 17th Apr 2009 7:22 AM

Yeah. And, of course, Giles and Tara together with "I wish I could stay", where they're in the Magic Box, singing to Buffy and Willow, but they don't hear anything. That was heart-wrenching stuff.

Ryûchan 17th Apr 2009 9:18 AM

After I read this (really funny) fanfic I can no longer listen to Spike's song, because I hear something completely different from "rest". ^^;;

Ahh yes, Xander and Anya's hilarious song and dance number. XD Lines like "her toes are kind of hairy" or "his eyes are beady" are just unforgettable.

Is there any song from OMWF that you _don't_ like, though? I think they're all pretty good, but what about you guys?

Oh and lets not forget... "I've got to warn Buffy, there's every chance she might be next. Xander, help Willow... and try not to bleed on my couch, I just had it steam-cleaned..."
:D

straightroad 19th Apr 2009 2:17 AM

Oh Ryu, I hated Restless!
It made no sense at all to me and I've given it so many chances..
no matter how many times I watch it I just find it dissapointing.
I like the scene with Spike in tweed on the swings with Giles though

straightroad 19th Apr 2009 3:18 AM

I never disliked any of the OMWF songs, but my least favorite is probably "I'll never tell"

Ryûchan 19th Apr 2009 10:05 PM

Wow, really? I love Restless, as do my friends... it is such a deliciously symbolic episode, with so much hidden away in the various "dreams". Willow's dream, with writing Sapphic poetry on Tara's back? *__*
Ahh, I just love weird stuff like, oh I don't know, the bits about the play? The cheese slice man? And I can analyse it all to my heart's content. XD

ShibaSunrise 20th Apr 2009 12:39 PM

Hi
So i'm new here... Buffy fan to the bone
Fav character must of course be buffy herself, absolutely adore her, though i didn't much care for the dark places the later series took her for, i liked the bouncing sparkling happy go lucky fun loving buffy from the first couple of seasons the best. Needles to say i did not like season 7 at all, for me it was a terrible ending, and for her to run of with not angel, not even spike but a whole other vampire in "Angel" was a complete dissaster.
I must say a rather like faith, her bad to the bone attitude was fun for some time, on the other hand i really truly do not like dawn, actually i detest her.
Also must love xander for all seasons he lifts the spirit of the series, and giles... he is another fav character...
Have a lot of favorate episodes. it's been a while since i've seen 'em all, so i'll have to go with my intuition and say that "something blue" left a great impression on me.
I guess i had a secret fantasy about buffy and spike getting together. Though he did a real nasty thing to her during his obsession of her, i never got why she never really gave him a chance nor could love him, I always saw him as angels surpirior 'cause of his kinder and more loving nature as a living man and because of his choise and battle to regain his soul - he was not just cursed...
There i'm all out of inspiration...

straightroad 21st Apr 2009 9:57 AM

Hi Shiba!
Welcome to our group *jumps for joy*
I suppose Angel's soul was pretty much just handed to him, he didn't work for it like Spike did.
I'm a bit confused for the ending of S6 though, did Spike go to the demon to get his soul back or to get his chip removed?
My impression was that he wanted to inflict further harm on Buffy ?

straightroad 21st Apr 2009 9:58 AM

Cheeseman: I wear the cheese, the cheese does not wear me!

Ryûchan 21st Apr 2009 11:03 AM

Hey newcomer, welcome and join the chorus! XD

Ah yes, Spike... from what I understood from that episode he was there to get his chip removed, and got his soul handed to him instead as sort of an "oopsie, should have specified what you meant" thing. ^^;
In Angel's case, his soul was also handed to him, but that was meant to be in punishment, right? I seem to recall that being the cause, that as long as he suffers he gets to keep his soul, and if he has just one moment of happiness (really, is the _only_ way he can get his happies sleeping with Buffy? I found that very, very strange ^.^;; ) and poof goes his soul.

*thinks* Is Angel's soul even his own, original soul, come to think of it?

straightroad 21st Apr 2009 11:07 AM

What, do you mean Angel got handed a random's soul?
Hehehe that sounds funny.

Ryûchan 21st Apr 2009 12:51 PM

*laughs* A random soul? Ah, no, not quite what I meant... I meant that it seemed to me that the ritual thingy they did could also be taken as them creating an artificial soul or something, I never quite grasped that but then I was never particularly interested in Angel. It is pretty obvious that from the BtVS flashbacks the "souled" Angel is nothing like the human he had once been, so that is part of why I wondered. It is probably just meant to be that whole suffering punishment thing though. ^-^

Was it ever adressed on Angel's own show?


*makes a little space for the cheese slices* XD

straightroad 22nd Apr 2009 6:53 AM

I THINK..he got his own soul back but wasn't anything like he was back when he was alive because of all the horrible things he had done as a vampire, it was like a slap in the face for him and he realized the misdeeds he'd done.
He feels regret and spent a few dozen years moping around till he met Whistler (who was totally random but awesome as well)
What happened to Whistler anyway?
Becoming gives me the chills. I love the narrative Whistler does @ the end of Part 1.
Which bears the question..
dear Buffy fans,
what's your fave season ending?
(Mine's Graduation Day!)

Ryûchan 22nd Apr 2009 9:17 AM

Season five. Yeah, I know, death and all, but OH what a powerful and true ending! There couldn't have been an ending more worthy of Buffy than that, really. And it was just oh so beautifully done. *-*

In second place... *chuckles* season four. I love Restless, I really do. ^_^

straightroad 23rd Apr 2009 1:02 PM

My order, from best season finale to least would be..
I didn't think of The Gift!! Eee!
S5, 3, 2, 7, 6, then 4.
Restless was known as more of a prologue to S5 then an actual season ending.
Or something like that.

Ryûchan 23rd Apr 2009 5:56 PM

*smiles* That's a part of what makes it brilliant as a season ender to me.
Ah, the list... I hadn't really thought of it beyond The Gift being my favourite and Restless coming in second, but sure, something like this I think:

S5 The Gift
S4 Restless
S1 Prophecy Girl
S3 Graduation Day
S2 Becoming
S6 Grave

Of course the ending of S7 isn't on the list since I neither have nor will watch S7, so that's how it goes. ^_^

straightroad 24th Apr 2009 1:57 AM

Oh crap I forgot S1 from my list!!
Okay rewind..
The Gift
Grad Day
Becoming
Prophecy
Chosen
Restless
Grave!

ShibaSunrise 28th Apr 2009 9:21 AM

I'm prettey sure he would have lost his soul with Cordy too, he was very much in to her in the end... As far as Spike is concerned I'm pretty sure what josh wanted us to believe was that he wanted to get rid of the chip in order to hurt her more, but Spike actually states himself at more occasions that he knew what he was doing in the cave, that he wanted to become a man she could love, and apparently that required a soul. He hated himself for what he had done to her, and was mortified. He wanted to be a better person. Anyways he didn't need to have the chip removed to hurt buffy, as she came back different after she was raised from the dead. This was how I interpreted the whole thing at least...

ShibaSunrise 28th Apr 2009 9:33 AM

I think my list must be
S2 Becoming
S3 Grad day
S1 Prophecy girl
S4 Primeval (I regard this as the ending)
S6 Grave
S7 Chosen
S5 The gift

As i stated i liked the first seasons best, and I didn't like buffy to die, especially not for dawn's sake, she should have just let her jump instead....

straightroad 28th Apr 2009 10:39 AM

Haha, guess your one of those Anti-Dawns.
I kinda hated her at first, but I think given the situation she was in, I would've acted even worse then her.
Besides....putting up with Conner...is HEAPS worse!

ShibaSunrise 29th Apr 2009 9:15 AM

yeah conner was eeeevil.... But at least Angel got to slap him around... A LOT!

straightroad 2nd May 2009 9:47 AM

Well I could NOT STAND CONNER. I hate him soo much!!
He just....I dunno I dont reckon Angel slapped him around enough.
Angel was too understanding I reckon.
I really didn't like S3 or 4 of Angel much, the one with Jasmine?
Thought it kinda sucked...on an epic scale..

straightroad 3rd May 2009 6:00 AM

OMG STEFAN HAS AN ANGEL SIM!
http://www.modthesims2.com/member.php?u=102521
I wants it!!

ShibaSunrise 7th May 2009 10:21 AM

Yeah thougt jasmine season sucked big time too... OMG that angel figure is amazing! Only how does one get it?

straightroad 7th May 2009 11:04 AM

I dont know!
I want Angel in my game! *tantrum*

Ryûchan 8th May 2009 3:27 PM

Have you asked if he could upload the sim for you?

Speaking of which, I have been thinking of maybe getting back into making a few movies lately, and I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to either get good BtVS Sims or The Movies "stars"?
Basically I'm looking for these:
Buffy, Faith, Willow, Tara, Giles, Xander and Anya.
I know you have a few straightroad14, but you don't have all of them, right?

straightroad 9th May 2009 2:40 AM

Well, I haven't seen highly accurate Buffys/SMGs but I think Jirka's version was nice.
Get it Here
I don't think anyone's even attempted Giles or Xander.
I've seen some Willows but again not so accurate.
That's seriously all I know, hope the Buffy is good enough

EDIT Working on my own Buffy sim, she's on her way but isn't all too accurate atm: Click click click

Ryûchan 9th May 2009 9:23 AM

Thanks for the link, I agree that the SMG sim look ok. I guess I'll save her until I can find the others... ahh, Giles and Xander aren't popular enough to get simmed? I suppose I'll have to make them myself then, that'll work too.
And I think your Buffy sim looks good, it'll be interesting to see the final version. Maybe I'll download and use her instead, hmm?

straightroad 9th May 2009 9:54 AM

Hmm, I think its also cause Xand and Giles don't seem easy to sim
Im not sure my Buffy will ever be good enough to be accepted though.

Oh and everytime I try mailing Stefan, it says his inbox is full. So, fail.

Ravenholdt 9th May 2009 9:11 PM

Hi all.
Long time fan of the Zeppo here. Have to say my personal favs are Xandman, Redemption-Seeking Spike, Giles/Ripper, Ethan (Oh he makes me laugh!) and strangely enough, Wesley. (Yeah, I know!), "Tuckers Brother" Andrew, Dark Willow and the lovely and strong Tara.

Buffy herself somewhat leaves me cold - shes far too reactionary for me to relate to. I prefer to see her life as the canvas upon which others' stories are written. *shrug* I know, I know - title character and all, and I cant argue that she IS a General to be reckoned with, but still...just cant care about her foibles, especially with the lack of compassion she shows her 'admittedly BAD for her' boyfriend/lover/jerk-around bad-boy-toy.
However, im always up for lively debate on that issue - Im sure its not by any means the usual response to her character.


Fav episodes? B,B&Bewildered...Smashed, Passion (see the trend?) um...Band Candy, The Wish, Dopplegangland, Earshot, Harsh Light of Day, Hush, Primeval, Fool for Love, The Body, of course - The Gift, Seeing Red, Villains, Storyteller...
Im sure there are a few of my constantly-run favs Ive missed, but I think thats prob a good list to go on.

straightroad 10th May 2009 1:44 AM

Hi Raven! :D
I'm a big fan of all your favorite characters as well (not Dark Willow. I only ever loved nerdy Willow), I get why you like Wesley. He was so hilarious in S3.
I never liked Buffy much either...I find she's a bit hypocritical at times and unfeeling.
Eg. In "Something Blue" Buffy hardly gave a crap about Willow being heartbroken over Oz leaving, whereas in S2 Buffy spent like the whole season whining and crying over Angel, and Willow was always by her side.

My FAVORITE scene of all time would be when Xander in BB&B walks into the corridor in slow-mo and the song is playing in the background ("Got the love got the love..") and all the chicks are checking Xand out..love it!

jj1010 1st Jun 2009 10:11 PM

Hey, Im JJ1010 but you can call me JJ. I'm a huge fan of Buffy and Angel and have seen every Buffy ep. there is and am currently watching Season 4 of Angel.

Favorite Buffy Characters: Willow, Xander, Cordelia, Glory.
Least Favorite Buffy Characters: Spike, Dawn(sort of), Riley.
Favorite Buffy Episodes: BB&B, OMWF, Something Blue, The Gift, Welcome to the Hellmouth, Grave, Two To Go, Villians.

edejan 5th Jun 2009 9:03 AM

As soon as I can figure out how to post on these social groups, I will repost. Sorry!! I posted a message here and on the Buffy group and both messages appeared in both forums. When I tried to eliminate the Star Trek one from the Buffy forum, and vice versa, they disappeared on both forums. But at least I think I've joined as a member!!

straightroad 5th Jun 2009 9:30 AM

Lol, hope all is good now edejan!
Welcome as well jj!

Aww, why the Riley hate? He was eyecandy at least mwahaha

jj1010 5th Jun 2009 2:28 PM

Riley was kind of... Boring :P

edejan 5th Jun 2009 8:02 PM

Well, I HATED Riley because he used Buffy for sex, sex, sex, and then dumped her for no good reason. His "career" was more important than everything she had given him. I always hate anyone who hurts Buffy, including Joss Whedon who treated her like hell in Season 6, just (I think) because he was made at Sarah Michelle Gellar! But Riley was just a placeholder; he really didn't have the charisma to keep up with Buffy. Now Spike, he was the one for her!! But, of course, Joss Whedon thought he was too "evil" to really be a true match for Buffy....note the hate for Joss Whedon??? But actually I love his stuff, including Firefly...just get mad at him sometimes.

Ryûchan 6th Jun 2009 3:01 PM

Riley was truly beyond boring and annoying.
What I find funny is all that talk about how "they communicate better without words" and all the episodes this was supposed to be illustrated in... for me that came across pretty much exactly the opposite.
Riley and Buffy's relationship felt doomed from the start because in episode after episode it was clearly pointed out just how much those two did NOT COMMUNICATE. Oh sure they could rip each other's clothes off , but they never really talked, at most they lied to one another or fought. Plus to me Riley came across as a guy that needed to be in charge, not really equal to Buffy but superior, while Buffy rarely treated him as an equal in anything. Gee, what a surprise that they broke up! XP Very realistically done, though.
Aaaand... well he was just so boring! :P

jj1010 6th Jun 2009 4:32 PM

Ya. Riley bored me to death, all through Season 4, I was so happy he left in Season 5. Yay. I actually don't like Buffy all that much either. She's not my fave but not my least fave. Somewhere in the middle but somehow leaning to the fave more.

Know what I mean?

edejan 6th Jun 2009 11:33 PM

LOL - no, what do you mean??? Just kidding....so who do you prefer over Buffy on the series?

And BTW have any of you heard that someone (I can't remember who right now) is considering making a new Buffy movie - a reboot - so nothing from the original cheesy movie and NOTHING from the series, no SMG, no one, not even the same characters from the TV series! I was kind of shocked/surprised/outraged when I read this. If I can find the reference I'll post it - somewhere on Yahoo entertainment news. But what do you guys think?

And also any ideas on where to get the David Boreanaz sims by Stefan. His site is gone and he's not on WNF anymore. I did a WCIF at The Sims Cave for his stuff, so maybe...but he probably hasn't released it as yet. My own Angel sims are woefully lacking in similarity to Angel.

straightroad 7th Jun 2009 1:08 AM

About the movie OMFGGGGGGGGGGG yes I actually started a thread about it (not on mts though)
Copy and pasted:

There's going to be a Buffy movie..
But Joss is not involved.
In fact, none of the actors on the TV show will be in it.
Fran Rubel Kuzui, the director of the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer film plans to make a second film that isn't related to Joss's much-loved TV series at all.
They plan to create a new incarnation of Buffy but not trample over the existing series. They want to make a more darker ,event sized version with franchise potential.
Right now, they are just in the beginning phase of sitting down with writers and getting takes and ideas.

Thoughts? Feelings?
They're picking out a whole different cast and IMO the film is going to tarnish the reputation of Buffy that Joss worked so hard for.
Not to mention the original movie really, really sucked.

[center]Link. Link. Link.


Ryuchan! You are alive!!

edejan 7th Jun 2009 9:03 AM

Thanks for the link, Straightroad. I'm totally outraged about this really stupid plan. Firstly the original movie (tho' I stand by my scifi/fantasy movies no matter how ratty they are) absolutely SUCKED!!!!!! Eventho' I loved Donald Sutherland in it and of course the whole originality of the concept of a little, blonde vampire slayer was so innovative, it was way too campy for me. I hate campy!! I had read that Joss Whedon totally distanced himself from the movie, he thought it was so bad.

So doesn't Joss Whedon own the rights to the Buffy "franchise'? I can't believe he'd let someone else butcher it. He seems to be pretty passionate about his creations even writing graphic novels about Angel and Buffy after the series were cancelled. Buffy never got the respect it deserved from the mainstream entertainment industry and I can't believe any remake of it would respect the story at all.

And what would Buffy be without her scoobies? Do they plan on a whole new group of scoobies (...gag...Luke Perry, PeeWee Herman...gag...) and if so, why? Why not make movies with the established Buffy group? I miss Xander, Anya, Dawn, Giles, Spike...and even the smaller roles. I still don't understand why spin-offs with Giles and Spike never took off. I think they would have had a success at least among fans.

Anyone have any comments?

jj1010 9th Jun 2009 10:06 PM

Booo! I want another Buffy movie with all the old people! I miss Willow, and Buffy, Dawn, and Xander, and Giles, and Anya!

Ryûchan 12th Jun 2009 8:30 AM

Straightroad, silly... we talk over email, of course I'm not dead. XP I've been sick a lot though as you know, so I haven't logged into MTS much.

To go back a little to what jj1010 wrote, Buffy was for most part not exactly my favorite either. In fact most of the rest of the female cast came in before Buffy on my list; Willow, Tara, Faith, Anya... But season 5 Buffy, at least once the Riley crap had been purged, now _she_ was awesome! I loved Buffy during that whole thing, unfortunately season six pretty much killed her, making Buffy the least likeable I had ever seen her. *sighs*

A new movie. And one that does NOT have SMG, Hannigan or the others? Oh my... and the first movie DID SO VERY WELL after all. *sarcasm*
What could they possibly be thinking? The only people that will be even remotely interested in watching it will be the most dieheard fans of the TV-show, and those fans won't like that kind of remake. Right?
Now I for one always found the original movie funny in some strange way... the way you might find a really crappy B movie hilarious in ways it was never meant to be funny, I guess. And after watching that movie I was waiting for the TV-series to start up for a long time, but even though my initial go at the TV-series when it aired was less than successful, lets just say that I was NOT disappointed that it really had nothing in common with the movie besides the name of the main character. :p

straightroad 12th Jun 2009 9:17 AM

Oh yes..so you're the one who's constantly sending me random emails, Ryuchan!! xD

*ahem*
I never quite liked Buffy much..I thought she was a good role model, yes, but not someone particularly likeable as say, Xander or Giles.


No matter how many people try to convince that nothing could ever tarnish the ingenuity of Joss Whedon, I know that if/when the film comes out, people will associate it with the TV show. The crapness of the film will make the TV show look even better, but people would judge the film on the series.

jj1010 15th Jun 2009 2:04 AM

Buffy was to ... I don't know. I have to agree with you though, Ryuchan; she was great in the end of Season 5. I liked her in Season 1 and sort of in Season 2 though.

Straightroad: People will dislike the movie and for that dislike the show; even though they are two different things.

Ahh! I wish Buffy had a season 8 and 9 and 10! Moar Buffyz!

straightroad 20th Jun 2009 11:00 AM

Has anyone read the S8 comics?

EDIT Working on my own Buffy sim, she's on her way but isn't all too accurate atm: Click click click

Ahreemm! made xander and giles myself, they're here on this site. Don't know how adcurate they are, but you can see if they're usable

Ooh I'll have to take a look Shiba.

and Straightroad; No I haven't but I want to. I don't know where to buy them though.

ShibaSunrise, very nice sims! ^_^
And the spinoffs, well, there was supposed to be a "Ripper" TV-series in which Giles went back to England and such, might that be the one edejan mentioned? (don't know about Spike though)
By the way, did they ever actually film any episodes for "Ripper", or was that canned before they got that far?

Not that, ahem, I personally would have been likely to follow a series based on Giles (or Spike for that matter), I probably would just have seen whatever episode any of the girls from BtVS appeared in like I did with Angel. ^~^

JJ, I think it should be fairly easy for you to get the comics from a comic store or something? Especially since you live in Canada, lucky you.

I remember there was talk of a Spike spinoff. A Faith one, too but Eliza declined. (busy schedule or something)
I agree with Ryuchan, I remember downloading those sims, can't believe I forgot xD

Oh and if anyone's interested, I got some very pretty Buffy icons yesterday!
Thought I'd share some

jj1010 24th Jun 2009 12:05 AM

Eliza got her show just not as Faith.
Dollhouse! By Joss Whedon. She plays the main character, Echo.

Oh and thanks Straightroad for the icons

That was around the time when Eliza played the main character of Tru Calling, and supposedly that's why she declined. I bet she regretted that afterwards though, as that show went right into the waste basket after they added Jason Priestly to it and messed it up.
Dollhouse though... I've seen nine episodes so far, and I've got to say even though I didn't think I'd like it all that much, I love it.

Ok, sorry to change the subject but I just want to see If I'm the only one.

She was one of my favorite characters and I was just wondering if anyone liked her too: Glory. I loved Season 5 just because she was in it! Anyone else like her?

edejan 27th Jun 2009 9:43 AM

Nah, I couldn't stand Glory but she did wear great clothes. She was one of my least favorite characters - I thought she was just too one-sided. And her minions were so mousey. Even Jasmine, in the Angel series, had some redeeming qualities - I absolutely loved her btw.

I haven't been back here in a while due to total absorption in Sims 3, but re the spin off series. I'm in a group that works (or did in the past anyway) conventions and right after Buffy was cancelled, I worked a con with James Marsters and a few others. He said that Joss had suggested a spin off Spike series to him but over time, Joss never followed up. Same with ASH and the Ripper spin off. He kept putting it off messing around with his graphic novels and other projects and never got anything going. ASH meanwhile got another series in Britain - I think it was called Manchild. I saw a few episodes but I think it only lasted one season.

I think Joss Whedon's kind of ADD - he seems to lose his focus on projects and moves on to new ones. Anyway James Marsters said he would give Joss a few years (already past probably) to offer him the spin off. After that, he thought he would look too old to play a younger ageless vampire. I think he's around 45 now tho' he looks absolutely ravishing anyway.

Sigh...I don't think anything will ever replace Buffy and her crew for me...sob...:b

Ryûchan 28th Jun 2009 11:12 AM

I for one simply loved Glory. To me she was hands down the best villain of BtVS. ^_^ Powerful, charismatic and completely nutty... kind of reminded me of Callisto in XWP actually. XD

Lily Windsor 28th Jun 2009 1:23 PM

Hi everyone! Thanks for the invite straightroad. I LOVE Buffy - the best show of all time and I have watched each episode so many times - every time I iron clothes I put a Buffy DVD on, lol.

I agree with everyone who said Riley was boring - he and Buffy so did not go well together. I really quite liked the Initiative storyline though. I loved the idea of a military organisation performing experiments on demons.

And seriously, although it'd be great to have a new Buffy film I can't believe Joss is not going to be involved. Joss Wheadon is the Buffyverse King! I think the film will suck pretty much and it won't satisfy the true fans that's for sure. I like reading the Season 8 comics though but that's canon - I have to buy them off the net though so I don't have that many of them

Anyway, on to my introduction:

Fave Characters: I loved Buffy and she will always rank as one of my favourites - she is the original, the Queen of the Slayers. But my most favourite character is actually Giles - I really just loved him so much. I really liked Dawn even though she was a pretty bratty kid and I couldn't forget Oz. I loved Angel and Cordelia and Wesley - before and after they went onto Angel. As to minor characters I really was very fond of Amy (the witch) and of Quentin Travers (the Head of the Watchers Council) - I have a huge fascination with the Watchers Council so I loved the episodes with Quentin.

Least Fave Character: Riley (as mentioned above), Kennedy (I liked her at times but she was so in-your-face and she was so horrible to Buffy - she made me want to punch her, lol)

Favourite Villans: The Mayor and Caleb

Favourite Episodes: So many to choose from! I loved Once More, With Feeling, Hush, Becomming Pt 1 & Pt2, Checkpoint, Showtime, Touched, End of Days, Chosen, The Gift, Bad Girls, Something Blue... God, I could go on forever but i'll stop there.

Miss-Resa 18th Aug 2009 6:48 AM

Hi! Another Buffy fan here. I love it more than words can say.

Fave charries: Xander, Giles (cause he's so darn British), Spike, Anya and most of all EVIL!Willow. That was awesome.

Least fave: Probably Dawn. I hate it when she screams. It makes my ears bleed. And she's always 'oh the world is so horrible and everyone hates me, I'll just go and steal some stuff'. Whaaaa?

Fave Big Bad: Angelus is definitely one of the best. The whole end of season 2 was so heart wrenchingly brilliant. Then Mayor Wilkins was so funny. He had some of the best lines. But my favourite, again, was Willow. She started off as this sweet, innocent, fluffy jumper wearing good girl, and became (for a short time only) so evil and cruel. What she did to Warren was just so....wow. When I first saw it I couldn't speak.

Fave episodes: Once More, With Feeling, The Body, Tabula Rasa (hahaha Randy Giles), Something Blue, Chosen, Angel, Passion, Surprise, Innocence, Becoming 1&2, The Gift, Band Candy ("Wooaahh, Summers, you drive like a spaaaaz!" Hahahaha Snyder!), Conversations with Dead People, The Storyteller, Lover's Walk (drunk Spike!), there are so many! I love them all! Most especially Welcome to the Hellmouth, cause that's what started it all
