Aha! I had forgotten about IMDb's crossover and overlap search. Which found Andy Umberger. Can't see who the fifth is though. |

I would pronounce Anya as Arn-ya. More or less. |

Well, you would be weird. Or Southern, because it would be Ann-ya. Actually, thats not fucking helping. Áine is not Anya. Look, just trust me. |

Isn't it closer to Orn-ya? |

Cracking quote from the episode I watched last night Quote: Willow - "The school paper is edging on depressing, lately. Have you guys noticed that?" Oz - "I don't know. I always go straight to the obits." |

HOW THE FUCK DID BUFFY MATERIALISE A SISTER? Not only has the fact that Buffy is an only child been mentioned more than once throughout the show, but apparently Dawn has lived with her and her mum THE WHOLE TIME. WHAT THE FUCK? That's, like, continuality SMACKDOWN. |

Oh, yeah. Which I've read. But that was ages ago. Yeah, she's a lesbian. And her partner is about as bland as you can get without being the mum from the Bisto family. |

No no no - now it becomes the Buffy/Angel crossover, and leads the way to the far better Angel. So there's a saving, y'know, grace. |

I quite liked Willow's girl. Yeah, it does go a bit duff round now. But infuriatingly there's still the odd must see episode. Watching Once More with Feeling is pretty much mandatory. |

"The Body" us as good an episode of anything as you will ever see. Also, Hush. Bringing Dawn in was a very ballsy move whichh I didn't mind as much as most. |

As far as I recall, I quite enjoyed the latter few serieses of Buffy, but can't remember too much about them other than Fucking Riley and Dawn and a few other things. Actually, come to think of it, I can't remember whether I enjoyed them that much. I'm tempted to buy the Buffies from CEX for cheaps and rewatch them all. |

I did love them at the time, on the whole. And I would imagine you're right, that rewatching it would bring the cancelling of Firefly even more into perspective as being a ridiculous idea. |

I remember loving the fact that at the end of series four, ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! I don't know if I could choose a favourite episode of Buffy, but Hush(S4), The Body (S5), Once More With Feeling (S6) and New Moon Rising (S4-not because it's particularly groundbreaking in a general sense but for me at the time it was a revelation) have to be amongst the contenders. I agree that the feel of the show changes from series 5 onwards but I think it is still good and it really lightens up again for the last series. |

"Conversations with dead people" springs to mind for me - one of the few where they did proper horror, and did it very nicely. |

A Buffy recommendation from me: don't read the comic books. Ugh. It's only season 8 in the sense of rubbish fan-fiction. The Buffy comics are the thing that make me oddly glad Firefly didn't continue in comics. (Well, that and the rubbish Firefly comics. What is it about continuing Whedon properties in print?) |
