I love how many people in the comments are proud defenders of S6.
'War Stories'
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.
Buffy Was Better When It Was A Movie With Kristy Swanson
Bwah! I have never actually heard a person seriously express that opinion, and I've been active in Buffy fandom since before we knew Angel was a vampire. I suspect I'd have to know Fran Rubel Kuzui personally for that not to be the case.
One of my friends sincerely believes the movie is better but he a) has watched very little Buffy and b) hates non-episodic tv (The Battlestar Gallactica and New Dr. Who make him crazy, he mostly watches meTV now).
I'm enjoying their avid discussion of the effect of soul-having on vampires.
"I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS SO HARD WHEN I WAS FIFTEEN, LET ME TELL YOU."
All of those comments are perfect.
*Drusilla is the first in a trend of Whedon writing damaged "crazy" women characters who talk in sing song nursey rhyme cryptic clues
I can't really argue with that point, but it does't change my love for Dru. Plus, she was the best BtVs-verse vampire. THE BEST.
I am so happy she's the one vampire we know made it out of both series still undead!
Of all the Whedon damaged "crazy" women characters who talk in sing song nursey rhyme cryptic clues, Juliet Landau was by far the best actor.
But She Scored a 1400 on the SAT.
Nuh-uh! 1430.
Yeah, see! She's no dummy.
