'Why We Fight'
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.
Did anyone mention that we Canadians had a Buffy marathon on Space yesterday to warm us up for the big event? They showed the top 10 viewer voted episodes from 9 AM to 7pm, ending just as the finale began. It was like Buffy nirvana.
Except for having to sit through OMWF again.
Number!

I was IMing with a Canadian friend of mine, home from work on Victoria Day. It was kind of cool getting little bits of the show, reminders, funny lines.
Although - "Family" was #3? You Canadians are crazy.
Sue, what were the other favorites? Anything that would make this board (generally) sit up and say, "Huh?"
(Edit to respond to xpost -- Other than "Family," that is.)
Madrigal - Your suggestion of adapting Danny Boy is highly appropriate. Been singing to myself te past few minutes. Methinks I have stumbled upon some therapy.
I have a stomache ache and I can't tell if it's from the Spaghetti-O's I ate (don't ask - random craving) or if it's because I'm freaking out and my body knows, but my mind hasn't realized it yet.
"But now I am moving to California, and Buffy is ending, and I will have no more Tuesdays with Smonster. A time is drawing to a close. In a way, tonights Buffy finale is a finale for a part of my life. "
Samantha, I SO get how you feel! And where are you moving to in California? I'm in LA - Venice Beach. One of my friends might start showing the DVDs starting with Season 1 on Tuesdays, which will help with the sense of loss. I haven't seen all the seasons, I think I started watching during the next to last season on the WB. But I did a lot of catching up on FX when I had it.
"It seems fitting that I finally had my first dream with characters from the show last Sunday night. "
Right on! I went to bed last night and thought really hard about the characters to see if I would dream of them, but no luck. I dream in Buffy whenever my mind wants to, not when I choose to.
I've been thinking "Danny Boy" because Darla sang it to Lorne when she was pregnant, and I thought Angel ought to have considered naming the boy Daniel in honor of the song, and as a way of appeasing Holtz - a gesture that might have made him reconsider the whole kidnapping thing.
Although - "Family" was #3? You Canadians are crazy.
I was WTF? about that too.
This was the list, I'd agree with half of them, I guess.

I'm moving to a town called Monterey, it's south of San Francisco some and way north of Los Angeles. It's on the water - the Pacific Ocean, in fact. The sun sets over that, too. Nuts! West Coast, sweetie, West Coast. Which is good, 'cause it's gonna be different, but bad because I don't know how my Bostonian ass is going to handle being so far away from well, everything.... but then again I am living in North Carolina now and that hasn't been too bad, if you ignore the fact that they don't have Dunkin Donuts down here (or at least one that will make your coffee the right way) and people try to be pleasant 24-7.
The buffy dream was good. It was me and Xander and Spike doing our thing. Very realistic. Not uncommon, however. The interesting thing was SMG's appearance, and my making a meal of her, so to speak. Now that, my friends, was shocking. You never know who will appear when. i was delighted. It was as if, as they say in French, mon premier pois a pousse.
Can't say it's what my list would be, but "Family" is the only surprise choice. Although even that is critical for one of my favorite arcs, the blossoming of Tara.
