I know Tracey and one of the Blue Glove men have been in all three.

Aha! I had forgotten about IMDb's crossover and overlap search.

Which found Andy Umberger. Can't see who the fifth is though.

A quick Google suggests that Anya is an alternative spelling of 'Áine', which is indeed an Irish name.

Áine is pronounced Arn-yer. Not Anya, or anything close. Irish for Anna.

Apparently there was some Buffy around here.

I used to work for a guy called Ainle. That's all there is to the story.

Found the fifth, Michael Nagy. I know you'll all sleep easier now. (And yes, my job does suck, why do you ask?)

Yknow, I was convinced in my head that he was the master in Buffy s1. But that was another Mark

I would say that Arn-yer is relatively close to Anya in terms of pronunciation.
It's certainly closer than Rupert, for example.

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

Plissken · **Posted:** Wed Jun 29, 2011 14:25

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.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

Isn't it closer to Orn-ya?

In what world is Arn-ya not even close to Ann-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.

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Oct 04, 2011 22:58

Also, Willow is a lesbian

Have we transported back to ten years ago?

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Oct 04, 2011 23:00

Aye. Explanation in the first post.

MrChris · **Joined:** 1st Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 30498

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.

It's explained, but they may as well not have bothered, because it all just goes crap now.

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.

NervousPete · **Posted:** Tue Oct 04, 2011 23:19

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.

It has indeed been explained. Shh about it being crap. Does Riley die? I hope so. Fucking Riley.

It's been that for the last 44 episodes.

Oh - I don't actually think there's much wrong with Dawn. It just rather marks the point at which the writing turns up the emo to 11.

Heh. I mean that Angel goes off into his own series properly. Which is far better than Buffy.

Or have I got the timeline mixed up, and that happens earlier?

You have. That happens at the end of S3, Dawn shows up at the start of S5. Angel leaves before The Initiative (and Fucking Riley) turn up.

Oh, ha.

Well, there we are. It was a long time ago, to be fair.

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.

If you have a WONDERFONE of some kind I have Buffy and Angel converted for it and ordered right.

No, no WONDERFONE - just a laptop.

I'm rewatching them from Netflix at the moment, we're just slightly ahead of where Grim... is. They hold up very well, although the wide-scale world building that Whedon managed over 10 years in the Buffyverse makes me even sadder that Firefly was cancelled.

Glad to hear they stand rewatching given the passage of time. 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.

It's okay. Just wait for about 160 minutes.

At the time this first aired I was downloading it, but all my friends that watched it were on sky, so I had several months to wait to discuss it. I remember getting text messages that evening with lots of wtf???
