'Cause it looks like Faith has a pretty good shot at breaking the [smoking = evil or dead] record.

Well, she's going to have to go a ways to beat Spike I think.

She's already ahead of him, isn't she? He was evil up until S7. Smoking was implied in CWDP, and then he started snacking. He smoked in Dirty Girls (with Faith), then got the scrubbing bubbles in Chosen.

Although, now that I think about it, Harmony should probably get some sort of acknowledgement for sucking so much at being evil.

Dude, that could support me for crazy long! Not that I wouldn't want one, but damn.

$11, 000 for a signed script?

You think one of those high bidders might be named Kristen? Because, if so, I got some scripts that they might be interested in...

I used to sell this when I worked in Housewares at Fields. It was part of a whole collection of Roosterware which provided us sales girls with many a laugh. Needless to say, they weren't going for over $300. In fact, I think they ended up on clearance.

Man, when they break it down item by item, the Summers home starts looking fugly.

Ah, yes, but the chance to say "I have a cock pitcher from buffy"?

Priceless.

The ultimate Visa (or is it MasterCard?) commercial.

What were the ratings for the series finale? I'm curious, one day that could be a Trivial Pursuit question for HoyaSaxa Jr.

'Buffy' Finale Stakes Strong Ratings for UPN Wed, May 21, 2003 04:48 PM PDT

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" went out as it came in -- as a hit among younger viewers, if not the general populace.

Tuesday's (May 20) series finale, in which Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar), the Scoobies and an army of potential slayers battle the First Evil, drew 4.9 million viewers to UPN. The episode drew the biggest audience for the show since October 2002 and finished well above "Buffy's" season average of 3.8 million viewers.

It also scored well in the teen and young-adult demographics UPN targets. The finale averaged a 2.7 rating among people ages 12-34 and adults 18-34, beating all of the big three networks in the hour. (It trailed only FOX's "American Idol" sing-off and the "Gilmore Girls" finale on The WB.)

The finale also gave a boost to the premiere of "America's Next Top Model," which improved on the time period's season average across the board.

Of course, "Buffy" was never about getting huge ratings. Based on anecdotal evidence -- Internet message boards and the like -- the finale seems to have pleased most of the show's fiercely devoted fans.

How lame is it that I find the Buffistas a week after the show ended, even though I am a S1 fan and old WB Bronzer? I have a vague recollection even of Matt the Bruins Fan telling me about the site at the PBP two years ago when I was whining for a good Buffy board.

-sigh-

Anyway, I just wanted to say I scrolled all of this thread today and I really appreciated all of your thoughts about the end because the reality of it hit me again, hard, today. I was travelling on business last week and only just got to see the ASN-Monday broadcast, then was busy in no-buffy land all week. Then tonight, the channel I watched Buffy for almost the whole run aired High School Reunion in the Buffy slot. That broke me. I quickly flipped to the rerun Buffy on Space and hurried to the puter to fire up the web.

Thanks for being Comfortadors. I knew knew knew the series end was going to club me but being clever and being bereaved are two different things. I'll go on, I guess and buy all the dvds as they come out and grasp at the reruns as they air and wear out my tapes and hope against hope for guest spots or spinoffs or movies. But it isn't the same, is it?

It is kinda like the selfish guilt feeling after learning a favourite author has died. Knowing in your gut that you will never be taken to that place you loved ever again. Yes, there will be other projects, and I will be there faithfully. But those projects won't be Buffy, and that is kicking my ass, harsh.
