Buffy The Vampire Slayer

I forgot to metion I finished Angel 4 last weekend.


It off to a great start was almost the best season except I never enjoyed Cordelia's change and very creepiness as the villain. I really liked the Beast, the return of Faith and Angelus, and even the story of Jasmine. The change with Cordy was just too creepy.


Angelus was the highlight. I love how he systematicly took apart the team with just words. Angelus is one of the best villains ever created.

And I just love Faith.



I only have Buffy 7 and Angel 5 left to get.
 
Man, I love being able to talk about this for hours, Buffy and Angel are way too amazing, I picked up all the video box sets a coupla years ago because no one wants videos anymore and have watched them so many times.

I watched 'I will Remember you' and it's just such a massively powerful episode, but the fight that Buffy and Angel have at the end of (what I think is called) Sanctuary is amazing. Angel's vitriolic reply just makes me go 'HELL YEAH, TELL THAT *****'

'You don't know me anymore so don't come down here and expect me to do things your way' - is a poor misquote.

As for Buffy, I reckon Passion is my favourite episode, though there are others that I consider my favourite every time I watch them. Lovers Walk (Spike at hsi very best) and Amends are both really awesome in the way the Buffy Angel relationship is displayed. And The Prom....crap I'm doing it again...

Hell yeah. Orpheus was the best episode of the Angelus/Faith arc, when she ends up going into Angel's dreams and seeing Angel and Angelus fight.
Best moment?

Faith: Haha! You saved a puppy!



EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention... I met James Marsters and Charisma Carpenter a few weeks ago.

US, July 28, 2007 - The line to get into Joss Whedon's panel, sponsored by Dark Horse Comics, at the San Diego Comic-Con was so massive and serpentine that we were unable to squeeze our way inside. Does that prevent us from bringing you some rather massive news? No, it does not. We have moles everywhere. Some of whom have eyes (we don't post stuff the smell-only moles tell us. Just doesn't translate).

Those who did attend the panel found out that Joss Whedon, the increasingly iconic and simultaneously reclusive creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly has plans for a new Buffy spin-off. And not in comic books this time, but on television!

It's called Ripper and it's been rumored and discussed and speculated about for years. This time Whedon has said that things are getting closer. He's "talking to Anthony Stewart Head" to reprise his role as Rupert Giles, Buffy's "Watcher." It will be a BBC production and run 90 minutes. No word yet on whether we're looking at a pilot, a one-off, or what could happen. But Whedon says it looks possible for "next year." This is as close as we've come in a long time to any new Buffy hitting the air.

The "vibe" that Whedon gave off at the panel was one that "he's back." He said that he "Didn't go away" but had been writing comics and now it's time for him to get back out there and get stuff done. It's safe to say for those who like Whedon and all things worthy that this just might be the best news to come out of San Diego so far.

Hell yeah :rockon:
 
Thank God.

I have to say, Whedon's better behind a camera than he is on comics... The small screen is where he does his best work and I cannot wait to hear more about this project panning out into something real.

Wonder how it will tie into the Buffy comics, though.

I know he wants Anthony Michael Head, but i've gotten the impression that a Ripper Series would focus a lot more on his youth.

I wonder who they'd get for a younger Giles.

I'm thinking it wont , I'll either ignore them or be a prequel like you mentioned that does not need to tie in to comics just show.


If it is younger Giles I wonder if (I know it'll mess with continuity but would still be cool) He'll meet Angel , Spike , Darla and Dru?

But one charracter who has to be in it though IMO is Ethan Rayne as they were meant to be friends during his Ripper days.

Joss wouldn't do that. If it is set in current times, there will at least be some mention of the events in the books.

No, it wouldn't. I love Spike, I love Angelus, but if it's the young Giles, they shouldn't meet.

Definitely. I love Ethan Rayne.
 
I thought the whole point of the series was that Head wanted to do it.

So I can't imagine how it would take place in the past.

But with the comic being announced as canon it has to tie into that somehow too.

Anthony Stewart Head could introduce it , He could be telling someone about his past to introduce the different stages after a 5 minute intro by him to someone cut to younger actor with Anthony Stewart Head doing like a narration or expressing his thoughts ect..

I doubt that's what he'd want to do if the series was written for him.

Also, if this is a BBC series will we have to wait for the DVDs?
