Post subject: | Re: Buffy The Vampire Slayer |
So, I'm just watched the penultimate episode of Buffy, and am determined to watch the last one on my TV at home, so I made up the spare time by going back and rewatching S01E01. Things I've noticed: Everyone looks really young. Obviously. But especially Angel. Who shouldn't age. The music is rubbish! Incidental music sounds like it comes from the eighties and the theme tune is really different. Cordilea is super-hot! She's gone rather minging in the later series' of Angel, so that's a nice change. Darla is pretty much the first character on screen. Xander looks clearly older than everyone else even now. The stakes look rubbish. Buffy's skirt is awesomely short. Cordilea is "allowed" to look a lot taller than Buffy. I'm sure that was toned down as the show went on. Giles has "cool" hair, and is a bumbling idiot. He expressly says "watchers don't kill vampires". And he has a computer. Willow's hair isn't red. I'll probably add more when I watch the other half on the way home. [edit] Here they are: Angel talks like he's from Noo Yoik. They shoe-horn in a lot of "cool" words in this episode, before they settle down and develop a language that's very individual to the show. Buffy is much more of a brawler than a martial artist, but that makes good sense. The Bronze is a big warehouse in the middle of nowhere. I'm sure that changes. The Bronze Band of the Week is really, really bad at lip-syncing. They display "To be continued" on the screen, which I'm sure they never do again. |

I've not read the IDG Angel comics, but the Buffy S8 ones started out OK and pretty rapidly degenerated into dreadful fan-fiction level dross. (To be fair, I've since heard it improves a bit after #25, which is where we gave up, but I thought the series ended well, so am quite happy to pretend the comics don't exist. See also: Scrubs season 9.) |

Wasn't Wolfram and Hart filling S4 with poo and there was no Conor, but then Wolfram and Hart filled S5 with not poo, also lots of awesome happened? It's a long time since I watched it. We're watching Dollhouse at the mo, but then Buffy and Angel are our 'early bed with a cup of tea' watching materials. |

Connor was in S4 (humping Cordelia) and Spike appeared in S5. No awesome has happened in the first, er, "number" episodes (ten, maybe). Except Spike (which Craster enspoilered for me over a year before I watched it). |

Post subject: | Re: Buffy The Vampire Slayer |
Season four's "everyone wuvs Jasmine" was Angel's low point for me, bar the awful trip to Pylea. I enjoyed the final season—it was more episodic and had some of the best one-offs of the entire run. The show also ended well, which is something of a rarity in itself. Also: ig you managed to get through the dross that was quite a lot of the final season of Buffy, Grim…, surely you can manage a bit more Angel? |

I loved all Buffy (series 4 did drag a bit though, because of FUCKING RILEY), and most of the previous Angel serieseses. I have a very high emo tolerance, though. |

http://popwatch.ew.com/2012/05/10/joss- ... -marathon/ Joss Whedon's top ten. Makes me want to watch more Buffy. I might look out Hush and watch that again, it's certainly one of my favourites and the moment when Willow and Tara join hands gave my heart a little flutter that I didn't really understand the first time I saw it. I don't know if I could name a top ten episodes! |

Well, we've signed up to Lovefilm and the Xbox bit now has all the Buffies! I've started rewatching it from the start. It's actually stood up surprisingly well. Joss Whedon is most excellent. And I'm only on episode 1, and most pilots are a bit poo. Mrs K may get into this, as she loved Firefly and wants to watch more Wheedonry. That said, I think she mostly has a thing for Nathan Fillion, as she's now avidly watching Castle with a funny look on her face. |

Mrs B and I followed up on our 'The Wire' fandom by buying and watching all of 'Homicide: Life on the Streets' a while back and, while the show itself is excellent and very much to be recommended, the squareness of it is eternally off-putting. |

Re: Lovers Walk and the apostrophe http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lovers_Walk Quote: The title of the episode has been cited on listings, books and DVD covers and menus variously as "Lovers Walk", "Lover's Walk" and "Lovers' Walk". However, the introduction to Rhonda Wilcox's Why Buffy Matters says, "the script apparently does not carry an apostrophe, by the way--making for a short, sad, declarative sentence for a title."
