    Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    Saw the next two eps. Don't really have much to say 'cause so much stuff happened, most of it in a pretty expected but satisfying way (specifically that I've been waiting for the shoe to drop re: Faith, and it's dropping). Buffy's turn to "bad girl" was hard to swallow, since her discomfort...

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    Yeah but why... last time he was there he was trying to keep their relationship strong, so this just comes out of left field. Ok so even if you look at it from the watchers council's perspective, and they don't value slayers' lives, the test is still silly. First of all, you're testing them...

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    I like Helpless for the on-screen action. I didn't like it for some of the background it introduced, though of course that can pay off later. By on-screen action, I'm referring to the fact that it felt like the show's writers/producers said, "let's do a straight-up horror flick." The chase...

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    Yeah I did notice that at the time but probably just chalked it up to him being smart and mature, and I'm used to seeing unnaturally brilliant, precocious children from other movies and TV shows (one of those typical Hollywood cheap heart-string pulling gimmicks). In fact, it's part of why I've...

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    Yeah it's easy to notice this stuff when you're watching it in order, consecutively, without months or years in between seasons. Like I just watched one where Oz asks Willow if she ever had a dream when she walked into the middle of play but didn't know the lines. Yes, she did, but it was an...

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    Mirror Universe! Cordelia makes a wish and our heroes get mixed up in a transporter beam during an ion storm and everybody dies. Fun stuff. What I liked: - In this world, the prophecy that the slayer will die if she fights the master is also fulfilled. - The closet homo football jock is part...

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    Well it's pretty realistic actually. Teenage boys don't handle rejection well- I would say even worse than girls, because a big part of being a teenage boy is acting tough. He was rejected and it hurts like hell, but they're supposed to be friends. That's the kind of thing a 17 yr old is...

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    I just watched two fantastic episodes- I was just so in the right mood for these. Lots of lol moments and one devastating serious one (and one that was glaringly f'n retarded that I had to fight to move past but I'm glad I did). First there was one where Faith got a new watcher. So all...

    Eh, Scott wasn't an ass- sure the break-up was abrupt, but I couldn't believe how much crap he put up with from Buffy. Sure he didn't know the context of why she was that way, but that's not his fault. Cordelia in that homecoming dress- god damn. I mean.. GOD DAMN! Look, Willow is a cutie...

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    Oh I watched 6 already (I'm doing 3 at a time in general). Just didn't have time to type everything. Anyway check this out: Angel's back and contrary to the big weepy huggy-kissy romantic reunion one would think, he's crazy then weak, she's trying to be with some other dude (who dumps here...

    Fellas, you know what I hate: so there you are, minding your own business, in a gypsy-cursed vampire body, you hook with a seemingly cool chick, she fucks the humanity out of you, you come back you, she kills you and sends you to hell. But you're big about it, you try to be understanding, you...

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    Ok, guess #2: it's Faith. What do people think of Evil Buffy? Both this and last season open with her being pissy and mean but super ass-kicking. I dig it- that first episode of the season was actually pretty freakin' terrible except for how awesome Buffy/Gellar and her stunt double were to...

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    It's not just the "look" that's improved but the scale of the action sequences. The zombie episode was full-fledged Night of the Living Dead tribute, with a whole army of zombies attacking a house party. I mean compare it to earlier in the series where it felt as if there were only like 12...

    "You can't just bury things like that, it comes back to get you" Cut to: zombie attack Subtlety? Any wussy that needs that crap can go sleep through their hoity-toity frenchy films or whatever.

    Treme

    Well yeah exactly- he'd like to be, but Janette didn't take him seriously. He is, to her, a microcosm of the whole city- he gives her those beautiful moments, but moments don't make up a life. Also, the Chief isn't 100% in the right. His desire to have people back is understandable, but the...

    Season 3 Buffy marathon, go: So did they get like a billion dollars in between the seaons? 'Cause that fight sequence in that hell-factory thing was serious Jackie Chan shit right there. Buffy the Ninja Vampire Slayer. Bravo. What was deal with that place anyway? Who were those people...

    Treme

    SPOILERS, etc Oh yeah, Creighton's gone. The whole episode he's exhibiting classic suicidal tendencies and clinical depression. I knew he was gonna off himself when he ran out to tell his daughter she looked pretty. For some reason the most heart-breaking moment for me in the finale was when...

    Haven't watched any since last posting. After all, it was the weekend, and the TV watching I did do last night to wind down was the season finales of Breaking Bad and Treme. Don't know if I'll be able to get to any tonight either, but we'll see. Stupid "life" getting in the way of my...

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    Don't all shows do that? Some are given multi-year contracts, so they can have cross-season cliffhangers, but usually it's season-by-season. But vampires do bleed, so it must be circulating somehow.

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    So anyone reading this thread has seen the whole show, right? Ok, then let's play a game. Let's pretend that after season 2, the series was canceled. The rest of the show and the spinoff didn't happen. So Buffy has everything taken away from her: mommy, school, social life, she kills her...
