And again!Two left.
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?)

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.
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?

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.

Also, Willow is a lesbian 
Have we transported back to ten years ago?
Aye. Explanation in the first post.
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.
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.

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 much prefer Fucking Dawn to Fucking Riley

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. Mr Kissyfur wrote:

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.

We've just watched that episode. What the actual fuck?!
It's okay. Just wait for about 160 minutes.
Hehehe, that takes me back!
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???

I remember loving the fact that at the end of series four,
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.

Whedon is on the record as saying that
is the only thing in that entire episode that doesn't have a deeper meaning. Having rewatched it recently, he's right, there's tons of stuff going on.
The show is generally excellent at foreshadowing. For example, S5 is laced with hints towards S6's big bad...
Don't read that one, Grim....

I was so happy when I saw Seeing Red near the end of the series, until the end 
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?)
I'm still going!
The Body is now competing with Hush and Superstar for Best. Buffy. Evar!
And Cordelia has had a haircut in Angel, and I don't like it. However, there's been some serious fan-service!
