Spike ,'Touched'
This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.
I have the S7 box, but haven't listened to the CWDP commentary yet. Joss's commentary on Chosen kind of made me cry - he just sounded so bloody tired of the whole thing.
I agree - he doesn't seem to have the energy to be his usual witty self. However, the CWDP commentary is probably one of the best I've heard in all the DVDs. Informative and freaking hilarious. I heart Danny Strong and Tom Lenk.
what's startling, looking at them again, is that you can map the quality plunge to the last days of Firefly. From Bring On The Night to Lies My Parents Told Me I get the distinct impression that no-one was steering the Buffyboat - there is a lack of the trademark odd Joss line here and there - and then with Dirty Girls it just kicks back into gear.
Amazon has Buffy Season 7 available for pre-order!
(For us North Americans. . . )
If anyone's interested, there's an interview with Amber Benson and the CEO of Wizard Corporation from WGN radio--should be at the top of the list, and it's 45 minutes long, FYI.
So, JZ and I watched Carpe Noctem (Angel ep, bodyswitch with old man) and since that ends with "Hey, Buffy's not dead!" we went on and watched Bargaining 1&2 again.
Gah, it's all laden with so much pathos now. Hard to quiet the inner feminist who ticked off the bodycount: Cordy, dead; Fred, dead; Tara, dead; Anya, dead.
My worst thought though, actually was this: "Fuck. Can you imagine what Joss would've done to Kaylee if Firefly had lasted five seasons? He would've turned her into a Reaver just to gut us."
It was a disturbing thought.
I think not—Kaylee was the Willow. River, however, might have ended up the Queen Reaver after a few years.
It was a disturbing thought.
disturbing because it's true.

Yeah, you know, I have to admit, there's a little piece of me that's glad Firefly didn't stay on long enough for Joss to destroy the characters, poor lambs. I'm not sure I could've watched that happen again.

And she would have done it to save the rest of the crew. You just know it would have been a choice on her part, much as she was capable of choice.
I expect Whedon to you know, have the sweet girls raped, impregnated with demon spawn, and then go evil.
I just roll my eyes and start a new drinking game. What I'd never forgive?
