Fred had the possibility of being resurrected. The mysterious trip to the lab, the crystal creature with the paralysis venom, and the fact her eyes crystalized before Illyria took over were all nice loopholes for future writing.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Re: "blonde vampire movie thing" (if it's fer real) - You know, everyone's throwing out ideas/suggestions (Spike, Harmony, Sisqo-as-Gunn), and they're all good and funny. However, I, for one, would like to see this take place in an entirely different universe, w/ new characters, and new mythologies. And if it's not too much trouble, Tim, could those blonde vampires also be high school cheerleaders?

Tim making a Spike-centric movie would so bring on the pain.A Spike-centric movie would bring the pain all by itself. And the likelihood that such a thing would screw with "Not Fade Away" bothers me tremendously. I don't want to see a finale I liked turned into another "Dad."

Hey. New board.
Yeah, playing with Not Fade Away seems like a neg.
Was there a blonde vampire in Fray? Cuz I would love love love a Fray movie. I think it would be totally workable, too.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Y'know.... to tie in with some earlier discussion... a story involving the early Darla years could include a lot of early American History.

Hey. New board.
Ooh, that could be good too.
More than a Spike movie, I'd much rather James Marsters actually get to make that Macbeth (or was it King Lear?) movie he was supposed to be working on at some point, so I can watch him act away from a character I find myself forced to dislike much of the time.
Still, who am I to complain about, well, anything involving both Tim and vampires? Two great things that (would most certainly) taste great together!

Many of the classes, however, were taught by various coaches because sports was wayyyy more important than education. Unsurprisingly, our sports teams sucked also.
My high school geometry teacher was the hockey coach. I blame him to this day for my suckitude at math, considering I had over 100% in algebra one. IJS.

Also, for all that I wanted Don't Fade Away to last just a minute longer (not to the end of the battle, but at least to the beginning), and I love the idea of a Buffyverse movie, especially by Tim, I agree that it would be bad for DFA to be messed with.
And now, this looks odd, as DFA will forever be Databases for Alaskans to me.

Now I want to see the bio film with Darla as a prostitute in the background of some scene.
