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.

Welcome, John t narrows eyes suspiciously if that is your real name...

Where in Canada are you?

Hi Elena, thanks.

Of course that is my real name, why would you ask? -blink blink-

-grins-

I'm in Sarsville. I get ASN off the digitalcable, and muy thankful am I for the bounty of ASN and UPN and KTLA. Somehow, that doesn't seem as cool as it did even a week ago.

Where are you at?

ETA: darn board et my emotes, better hit the FAQ again, pronto!

Or, for obscene amounts of money, you can recreate the Summers' living space in your very own home :)

I am a S1 fan and old WB Bronzer

You'll find a few die-hard ol' Bronzers around the place, wearing their Buffista letter sweaters and pretending to be hip to the BuffistaIsland sensibilities (And by sensibilities I mean PORN!). But at heart, they're really still homeless Albanians, who think nasty thoughts about the WB nightly, mutter about the band of buggered and yearn for a black and beige board.

Or possibly just- Hi John. I was a Bronzer once, and true.

John, I'm in Halifax, home of Buffy on Monday nights. ..

Oh, dear god I'm so sad to lose the taunting!

Though I was in Toronto just two weeks ago.

Hi Julie, glad to hear that there is some of the old Bronze crowd in the house. We happy fe -- I'm over it! (little lie there)

The money being spent on Summers house um, treasures is certainly revolting, by which I mean, way out of reach for my lifestyle. The real memorable objects are costing a lot. I'd like to think that the good stuff is going to someone who will set up a Buffy museum or something, wouldn't that be cool? Then I wouldn't have had to say I really wanted the EvilWillow outfit. That horribly scarred my buddy Eric who visualized without proper safety procedures. [I wanted it to be preserved for posterity, not to make a lifestyle-changing declaration, I hasten to add]

I'd like to think that -someone- is recreating the Summers' living space in their very own home, but I'm glad I don't have to live there. The carpentry bills alone ...

But it would come with a Xander to do all the woodworking. That'd be swell.

But without the depth perception option.

You funny.

Elena, I sympathize with the loss of tauntage, for I once sipped from that foamy mug. I only discovered the joy of ASN this past season or so (had regular cable before) but once upon a time (Season 3 for sure, and some of Season 2?) we SouthOnt folks got Buffy on the Monday. That was why we got Graduation Day without the delay, (WB pulled the plug at the last minute and the CITY affiliates already had the feed) although we had to wait for Earshot with everyone else.

Them wuz the days, even if I had to keenly await Tuesday night to talk about it on the board. Unlike the lovely setup you have here. I'm sorry I missed it before now, as you might imagine. -gnashes teeth-

Edit -- frelling spelling, I am a dope. ETA -- Cap'n Xander the pirate joiner would be welcome even if he needed help with the old stereovision thing. He could make jokes about the expensive furnishings while mis-measuring the window panes, again.
