Yeah. Plot wasn't great. Demons sucked. But Doyle was wonderful.

Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
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.
I think the only emotion I felt about Doyle's death was relief. I've always assumed the episode was a bit of a rush job because even in season 1, it stood out as ungood.
I was most upset by Doyle's death as it meant he wasn't around long enough to teach DB how to do a decent Irish accent.
One of my favorite small moments is where Buffy's deflecting Adam's bullets after doing her mindmeld spell and he says, "Interesting. Very... interesting." In his voice the hint of fear at the first thing he can't possibly understand.
I love that bit too!
Buffy Movies Straight to DVD?:
"There are serious discussions going on about bringing some of the characters back and making a few movies that will go straight to DVD, but they will certainly be the quality they have always been," Noxon said in an interview. Continued fan interest in a big-budget Buffy film has led creator Joss Whedon to consider a series of movies that would focus on some of the secondary characters, she added.
I'd buy them!
Xander 'n' Andrew, the Movie! They fight crime!
Xander in Africa!
I'd definitely buy them. I'm buying the Angel and Spike comics! I want more Buffyverse, damnit. Anything but those drecky YA novels. Although, one or two of them were half-way decent, but I chucked out more of them than I read so I quit buying.
