Timelies all. Skipped to the end to post this. I'm sorry if it's an x-post; I'm just a visitor here.
I came across this today and thought I'd pass it along.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

Trust my rage
But TV Guide calls Buffy a "vampiric soap romance".
I don't see it as a soap at all - totally different category than Dawson or 90210.
(Still, Number 3 Cult Show is a good.)

What is even happening?
Joss saw elements of BtVS as soap. He built them in on purpose.

I guess I can see that. I'm just not used to soaps having substance.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
I've a question regarding SMG's eye color. Does she sometimes wear contacts for Buffy? Or do they really change with what she's wearing? Because several times, especially during S7, I thought they looked REALLY brown. And in Cruel Intentions they looked very gray, but I chalked that up to the gray colors she was wearing. Don't know that I would have ever called them flat out green, but maybe I only noticed when they looked so very different from normal.

Mmmmm.... Season Six... in my hand...

Nifty links. I'm so psyched that MSCL made the top 20.
This is a quickie. I should be editing a music recital video. Five hours of Hot Crossed Buns and the Disney Songbook. Yay.....
S6 Extras Oooh, gag reel. Nifty. I haven't seen one of those since S2.
Neat article KristinT.
I don't think SMG wore contacts for eye color on Buffy. I believe that she does wear them for vision correction.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Marti Noxon famously described BtVS as Party of Five with monsters.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Doesn't Marti Noxon describe everything she works on as "Party of Five with..."?

(There have been many points in time when various soap operas had quite a lot of substance. OLTL and GL in the early to mid 90's are good examples. Soaps have historically gotten no respect partly because they are considered a "women's" genre.)
