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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Oh man, that is cracked out. He posted that to the Bronze, I presume?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I think he posted a bunch of wacked out shit about somebody on the crew trying to have him killed, then that. Or something.

My view on SMG has always been that if I was the lead on a show where I was in every episode and, at points, nearly every scene for 7 years, shooting at 3am, signing autographs on a day by day basis... I'd be allowed to be a little bit cranky occasionally. Hell, I wail like a baby if my washing machine breaks. I've no real idea if she was a massive diva or not, or if she was just feeling the strain. I know there's an interview with Joss Whedon somewhere during the late Buffy days where he sounds like he's having a nervous breakdown. I imagine it was quite the grinding experience for all involved.

She's always been publicly supportive and proud of Buffy The Vampire Slayer from what I've seen. If she wants to move on and make money elsewhere, you know, fair play I say.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

yeah, he posted it to the Bronze after Joss wouldn't return his calls/emails. he just wanted to be heard. *cough*

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

Didn't he just post a link to it? I remember him acting all surprised when everyone(not just Joss) followed the link he'd posted to a public board.

Wow, so, I just ventured outside of Buffistas and saw some of the SMG hate from people online. All of which seems to be people who weren't actually at the panel.

It's crazy. It's like everybody online is British. We have this thing here where we like to build people up, and then burn them at the stake when they become successful.

every generation throws a hero up the pop charts.

I love Douglas Adams' Long Dark Teatime for the Soul for skewering this very thing.

Oh yeah, the Yanks are champs at the pedestal knocking off.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The Pruitt dude is/was insane.

He sure was. But also the best fight choreographer working on TV. The fight scenes went from being exciting and character driven to blah-boring fast forward moments for me. I think his Buffy/Faith fights were the best.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Off topic - does anyone here collect the Buffy cards? K-Bug has a bunch of cards, seasons 4 - 7, in a nice Buffy album that she is willing to part with. She also has other assorted cards that were kept in cases.

She asked me to ask my "Buffy friends".

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

We used to get complete sets from inkworks for auctions. They did pretty well, I'd try eBay.
