I am tearing up because they are selling these things that seem like eventually they should be in the Smithsonian with Archie Bunker's chair!
I don't think they're selling off the
really
good stuff--Buffy's Claddagh ring, Spike's duster, Giles's glasses, etc. Are they? Also, I can't really think of anything object on the show that has the strong character associations that Archie's chair or Mr. Roger's cardigan have. The three I listed are the ones that come closest, IMO.
I think that the writing is the true treasure of the show.
Dawson's Creek is unloading a bunch of stuff as well, I didn't take a look at what people are paying but it looks like they are selling as many props as Buffy.
Also you can get Survivor props.
They are selling Sweet's Suits! Now those should go to a costume rental place or something-- they can be used again!
I want to see Andrew wear a long black coat again. That was a lovely scene, "I just want to wear my coat, OK?" And I sure as hell thought it was Spike, as they started the pan up from the feet. I asssume that was a different duster, right? Not "the" duster, pulled from whatever wardrobe closet it was living in till needed again?
Slut?
Whee! Evil post in the Last Thread about the First Evil!
Though it just occurred to me that maybe they are referring to it as a scythe to try to associate the Slayer with Death.
Makes sense, but I have to point out that would be like suddenly changing Xander's name to Thor, with no explanation, in order to make the audience associate him with the God of Thunder.
Due to popular demand (OK, well, Jon requested it), I have posted the breakdown of the previously from "The Gift" up in Mejiaville. It breaks out into 3 parts here on the Phoenix board.
I can't believe that tonight is the last time I will ever get to hear Anya say, "We're dealing with a big bad that can be any dead person it wants to be."
t sob
2. When did Spike where a letterman jacket-- says Season 6, episode 7, but I have no recollection of this!
Him is 7.6, and I bet that's the mix-up. The only other thing I could think of is, what did he wear over his head, into the Magic Box, when the sharks henchmen were chasing him in Tabula Rasa? Tabula Rasa is 6.8, but if someone is counting Bargaining as one episode, rather than two episodes, they might have called it 6.7 by mistake.
I can't afford any of this. I do wish it would be saved though. And FOX is disgusting for auctioning stuff and not giving the money to charity. The licensing fees they're making on Buffy-stuffy more than cover their costs. Dirty bastards.
I would have hoped that at least a percentage of the profits would go to some charity. And I'm wishing that we'll hear that ME gathered up the best stuff and is storing it for future museum placement. That, and I like the picture of ME writers giggling as they sneak manacles and weapons and leather into their cars at night.
