Xander ,'First Date'
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.
In fact, that's something that went through my head the entire time I watched this: I don't know how Joss got the series on the air, based on this test pilot. I'm sure glad whomever saw whatever they saw in it. I also thought that if BtVS was like this in this phase of production, the crap shows that are on TV, must be unbelievably crappy.
Yes, exactly what I thought.
Any idea where I could get ahold of this marvel of marvels?
I was loaned a copy, Gandalfe. If I can get someone to make me a copy of it (it already looks like a 2nd or 3rd generation copy, honestly), I will see if I can get two made, and send you one.
head hung in deep, deep shame
I suck. I really, truly do. I'm the one who has held up jengod's tape all this time. In my very poor defense, I received it right before I moved out of Z's apartment in 2003, and it got packed and never unpacked. Well, it got unpacked last night as I was searching for old software. I'm so sorry.
So, I've got the tape, and am more than willing to send it on to whomever, along with cookies for having to wait so long.
Side note - never lend me anything. Please just don't. I suck.
I've forgotten what else was on the tape — wasn't it a compilation of various Buffy-themed goodies?
There were a lot of dailies.

Outtakes, mostly. But yeah, it's a good tape.
Um, I can make DVD copies from VHS. If that would be desired.

An endless lot of dailies, IIRC.

Ooh. I want to see the other goodies.
