Not to delurk just to throw more ammunition on the fire, but tonight I was rewatching "Grave," (s6, ep.22) and caught this exchange when Buffy was talking about coming back from the dead:
Buffy: "I just don't understand why I'm back."
Giles: "You have a calling."
Buffy: "But it was my time, Giles. Someone would have taken my place."
Of course I'm reading into this, but the "someone" in that sentence implies to me that "someone" new would be called. Someone new, due to Buffy's line. And that both Buffy and Giles seemed to believe this.
I know nothing about Slayers. Sorry, I just don't.
Strega, I went back and listened to the "Billy" commentary. It's AWFUL. What a pompous, loud mouthed, attention seekng HACK. Every word SCREAMS 'PLEASE LOVE ME!!!!"
That is the LAST time I do a commentary with Jeff Bell.
I think you should call your next show, "Everybody is Wrong but Tim."
It seems really odd to me to assign a gender to The First.
Poor Tim. We're gonna make him never want to watch his
Buffy
DVDs.
But it's a better title that way.
You know, I think there might be something to actually planning, or at least thinking about, what one is going to say on a DVD commentary. That's what I'm thinking.
Are you thinking talking points? Or a whole outline?
It seems really odd to me to assign a gender to The First.
The first evil or the first slayer? (Sorry, I skimmed.)
The first evil. Someone upthread was referring to the first evil as "he."
The First Evil is obviously male. We're too close to the earth for all that nonsense.
