I'm standing in Plei and Sean's corner on the Spuffy issues, I agree there was not nearly enough showing. Which could have easily been remedied if they would have axed the countless useless storylines that popped in this season. But...ah, water, bridge.

I checked the auction as soon as i saw the promo for it. I was highly disappointed. I wanted some stuff from way past seasons. Like...I don't know, Faith's knife or something.

Come on

Boy, work sure gets in the way of posting. I thought the board was moving a bit slowly this morning, then wham! -- new thread.

Now I want Joss to write BtVS as a novel, complete with re-takes, re-dos and second thoughts. I'd like the basic story/season arcs to remain the same, but maybe played out a little differently.

That way could lead to the madness, such as George Lucas and his "Special Edition" Star Wars versions. IJS. (Han shot first, not Greedo!). /bitter

And the BBS, having been attacked by a pre-soul pre-chip post-conscience Spike, is deader than a thing which cannot be resurrected even by Joss and Tim combined.

Actually, that would have been Drusilla that took out the shopkeeper, not Spike. Spike was on the DL during "Passion". It was in season 3's "Lovers Walk" that Spike ate the shopgirl.

Edit: No, I take that back. They look a bit more like buffalo horns there. Goat horns would probably be most appropriate, though.

That begs the question -- what is the significance of buffalo horns, then? WE NEED TO KNOW! :-)

FWIW, I've always thought that the FE figure looked like a crab, but that's only in passing.

Oooooohhh...smoster, I love that movie. So much schmoop, plus some ice skating.

love that movie, miss vanna.

'If you'll excuse me, naked male aggression really leaves me cold'

'Toe pick'

And of course, the whole magnet flip thing.

plus the physics-defying pamchenko twist.

The problem is that they've just had Spike come on the screen and say "I have a soul now, I am redeemed," and had Buffy go "okay."

This is telling. Not Showing.

In Touched, Spike's seeking her out and holding her all night was a "show". In End of Days, Spike talking about his feelings for her, blah blah blah was a "tell". Sometimes they get it just right. Then they screw it up.

SQUEE!!!

OMG!!! I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!!

(Moves smonster up another notch)

Yeah, the auction didn't have anything epsiode related. Dammit, I wanted to see Mr. Gordo! Or the demon mask from S3, or Oz's guitar, or the sword that sent Angel to hell. Stuff with meaning.
