Buffy the vampire slayer

[SSJ Gotenks ok]

I just started watching this show and it's been really good.Does anyone in here enjoy the show??And what do u think tha new season is gonna be like??:D

[Manic Webb]

I've been an off-and-on "Buffy" viewer. I saw the first season, stopped watching when Angel turned evil, started watching again when Faith showed up, stopped watching when the government showed up in Sunnydale, and started watching again after Buffy came back to life. Then I started watching re-runs on FX to find out who Dawn is and whatever happened to Oz.

I'm beginning to like this new season. It's hyping up [i]another[/i] "end of the world" situation, except this time the demons are scared too. How many times was the world supposed to end and "The Scoobies" stopped it? The vampires were supposed to take over, the Mayor was supposed to turn into a giant snake and destroy everything, demons were supposed to kill themselves in the hellmouth, and Glory was going to bring all reality to a neverending suffering. And let's not forget about Willow :rolleyes:
I wonder if it's really going to happen this time, since I heard [color=white]this was the last season[/color] (highlight to read)

[zidane11]

I used to watch it. It seems like it is the same thing over and over again. That's just what I think about it. Everything else is pretty good though.

[Semjaza]

It comes on here at like 12 AM on FOX Sunday nights. I like leaving the TV on when I'm in my room, so I catch brief glimpses of it. Honestly, from what I've seen I cannot stand it.

The part that made me decide this finally was the episode where she defeats Dracula. I don't know if he ever returns, but the fact that she can kill what is basically the king of vampires with a couple kicks and a stake to the heart in about 30 seconds really bothered me. There are a lot of other examples like this in the show that I don't feel like typing up lol.

I can see why people like it, but it does little for me.

[color=red][b]I hate that show. It's prolly because my sister watches it like it's a cult and laughs every time james marsters or anthony stewart head says something. It's annoying. And she kills my ink catrages printing out pics of them. No good.[/b][/color]

[Sere Tuscumbia]

>>;; *stares evily at the Buffy haters and starts sharpening knives* Ok, true, I hated Buffy there for a while (thought it was evil), but then my sister (all hail the Buffy guru) sat me down and made me watch and episode. I fell in love. Been watching it since.

And yes, Endymion, you're right. It has been confirmed. They might have more, but . . . it all depends on Sarah Michelle.

And the world has (almost ended) um . . . every season? 1st: Master (sucked. I hated him.) 2nd: Angel, Spike, Dru (ok, mainly it was Angel. Liked him better when he was evil.) 3rd: The Mayor, Faith (Faith was in a coma, came back, went to jail *cough, cough*shecomingback*cough,cough*, Mayor was snake jerky from the start.) 4th: Adam (Too cocky.) 5th: Glory (Giles did the right thing killing Ben. Glory was too "me, me, me. It's all about me." Oh well, BuffyBot was funny . . .) 6th: Willow, Nerd Trio (liked Willow better when she was evil too. She was just pathetic when she was with Tara. And the Nerd Trio . . . they don't deserve anything.) 7th: Um . . . well, we're on the 7th season. I can tell you it isn't going to be Spike. Possibly the evil guy in hoods . . . (Sons of Entropy!)

And now my rant is done. On topic, I don't think this season is going to be as good as the rest. Get rid of Dawn and Anya, and get Willow back to her geeky self, and MAYBE we'll have a good season . . .

[Manic Webb]

Hey! I like Dawn and Anya! Now that Anya has her demon powers back, she's going to kick some major :butthead: It's obvious she still loves Xander, but I seriously doubt they'll get back together, despite what happens between them. The writers admitted they liked to crush the characters as soon as they get just a little joy in their lives.
And Dawn... um... ok, maybe the show doesn't need her. I was hoping she'd develope some kind of dimension-warping power as time went by, but sadly she's just there for the "Buffy has family ties" factor.
I actually want them to bring Faith back. I liked her more than Buffy when she was good, and she went through a lot of change when she came out of her coma (ok, so she changed into Buffy. Her personality changed, too.)
I wonder what's going to happen to Spike. He didn't exactly keep the secret of his soul secret for very long. And what's up with that chip in his head?

Then there's Tara. I don't miss her. She was a weaker witch than Willow and had one-tenth of Oz's personality.

[Mnemolth]

I agree with most of what Sere said. :D

Generally with guys (unless you happen to inhabit the wonderful land of geekdom), you watch Buffy because, well, its..er...yeah...Buffy. :) But to me the hottest babe in Buffy was Willow. She's awesome. No, not the Willow you guys are seeing now, I'm taking about the pre-Tanya Willow, and unlike Sere, I liked her as the 'good' Willow in highschool. There were a couple of eps with her as the Dom Queen evil vamp twin, and I liked her as that too, but I don't think that kind of evil would be interesting in the long term.

I think everyone should watch Buffy's first 3 seasons, everything BEFORE they went to university. If you take JUST those 3 seasons, I'd have to say its probably one of the BEST tv series made in the last...say 10 years? Energetic, funny and unbelievably intelligent, its a f*cking joy to watch. Unlike a lot of intelligent shows, it doesn't take itself too seriously so it doesn't disappear up its own rectum so to speak. :) The other thing good about it is its positiveness. Seems to me like a lot of intelligent shows tend to lean to the negative. Sienfield comes to mind. Buffy is just as witty and insightful, but its just more positive about the world, and its actually about something, so its no where near as self-indulgent as Sienfield.

Buffy says things about teenange alienation, domestic violence, depression, frienship, love...the usualy stuff...but in such a way its not shoved down your throat. In fact you can almost ignore it if you wish (as indeed most many do).

Enough of my rant. Just see it. First three seasons. The rest you can skip. :( I only continue watching cos of the good will from the first 3 seasons.

[SSJ Gotenks ok]

Tara was weak but did anyone think willow was way cooler when she was a evil witch.Oh how i would like that kind of power!!:devil:And spike is getting weird he iz too sprung on buffy.Who was that person who keeped changing into diffrent characters???:worried:If u dont watch buffy take the time to watch one episode because i use to think it was stupid but one night i was board and decided to watch and now i cant get enuff of it!!:D

[Sere Tuscumbia]

And once again, I go on a long Buffy rant.

Hey, I'm a geek Willow supporter all the way! I'm just saying once she got with Tara, the second word in every sentence was "baby". Drove me nuts. And she dressed bad. And like, every shot was them in bed. Um, sorry, but ew? I'm fine knowing that they're a couple, but everything is not about sex.

And no, I am not an Anya and Xander couple supporter. Anya and her hair drive me insane. I was hoping that she'd go away once she became a vengence demon again. We need a Xander and Willow couple. (Um, "When She Was Bad", and "Lover's Walk" are two eppies that feature Willow/Xander)

And ok, since everyone can't seem to get what's going on, I'll explain the chip in Spike's head. Ok, 4th season (if you haven't seen the 4th season, and want to be surprised when the DVD comes out (in about 2-3 years), then DON'T READ!) Spike gets captured by le evil government operation (You know, Riley and the gang) and is "neutered" A.K.A. he gets a chip in his head so he can't harm any humans. That's why he always grabs his head when he smacks/snacks on a human. He can hit Buffy though, becuase, as we all know, Buffy died for the second time to save the world from Glory, and when she got pulled from Heaven, the chip in Spike's head didn't register her as human. Thus, he can beat her up any time he wants.

And we aren't supposed to know who the person that was all the season's villians was. Might have been just that episode villian (considering that only Spike can see him/her/it, but only when he's insane-ish) or it might have been a season villian. But the season villian might be those guys in hoods (the Sons of Entropy!)

And yes, Dawn was only useful for one season. The 5th. She was the Key, and that's all. Can't they kill her off already?

[SSJ Gotenks ok]

Whatever happined to seth green's charcter???Willows old boyfriend tha werewolf?????I was wondering??

[Manic Webb]

Seth Green played Oz. As you should know, he was a werewolf. He almost ran off with a female werewolf who was making him embrace the evil wolf in him too much. He didn't leave with her, but he decided to go off on his own anyway because he left he was too dangerous to be around Willow. He left Willow in tears as he packed up and disappeared into the night.

He came back during one of the "Riley and the government" episodes to tell Willow and the gang that he found a "cure." In fact, he showed up at Willow's place during a full moon just to prove he won't transform into the wolf anymore. Unfortunately, Willow had already gotten with Tara by the time he came back. Oz found this out for himself when some kind of irregular moon cycle caused him to transform into the werewolf in the middle of the day and he smelled Willow's sent all over Tara. Willow decided she loved Tara more than Oz. Oz left heartbroken and never came back.

I still think Willow and Oz were a better couple than Willow and Tara. It's not because Tara is homosexual. I just think her character is made entirely out the small annoying part of Willow's personality.

[SSJ Gotenks ok]

Hmmmmm i want to check this episode out i seen the episode were he was locked up with the girl werewolf.So he didn't find the cure???

[Shy]

[color=firebrick][size=1]Oz thought that he found a cure to his lycanthropy, but the truth is that it is too powerful for someone to overcome. He will always be a werewolf, no amount of magic or meditation can change that. There was also a big contract issue with Seth Green, but let's not get into that right now...

Season 7 is turning into something big. They are already talking about the apocalypse, and they haven't done that sort of thing since Season 1. I can't wait to find out who the new "big bad" will be, I think that Dawn's school principal has something to do with it. Also, I would prefer it if you could keep these boards spoiler free. That is exactly the reason why I don't post at any Buffy boards, too many spoilers!

[SSJ Gotenks ok]

What happined to riley i think that's his name???Sorry i really dont know the names of other charcters.And how did the trio get started and what were there best plans to stop the slayer??:)

[Manic Webb]

Seeing as how I'm explaining stuff from passed seasons, I guess I can say what happened to Riley and The Trio.

Riley left shortly after Dawn appeared. (It didn't have anything to do with Dawn, I was just giving the time he left)
Anyway, the government showed up [i]again[/i] and ordered Riley to go on a new mission far away from Sunnydale (I forget where). Riley would have stayed in Sunnydale if Buffy had just asked him to, [b]but[/b] Buffy caught Riley going to vampire "orgies" (can I say that?) where vampires sucked on his blood, which he found felt pretty good. Buffy got upset at Riley and let him go. Riley came back the next season (last season) with his new wife. They showed up for one quick episode and left. Riley (and his wife) were never seen again.

The Trio was started for no reason whatsoever. As far as I can tell, Warren was just psychotic. He gathered two other people who knew about Buffy and they just wanted to watch her in action. Some ish went down and Warren suddenly wanted to kill her. No personal vendetta, just a crazy guy and two followers who had no idea what they were doing. Johnathan surprised me, seeing as how Buffy personally saved his life 2 or 3 times.

[Rancid]

[COLOR=darkblue]I only watch that show because sometimes you can see Buffy in red leather...:blush:



Dont mind the attachment.[/COLOR]

[Manic Webb]

I watched the show for its man-against-demon action, teenaged and often serious drama, spoken comedy, and hint of mthology.

The sex-appeal is just a bonus :D

[SSJ Gotenks ok]

Same here you guys!!!!!!:)

[Sere Tuscumbia]

Jesus Lord Almighty. I now believe I am the only female Buffy watcher. And why do I watch Buffy, you ask? Not for the sex appeal, I can tell you that. (Ok, James Marsters is HOTTTTTT, but we won't go into that.) Most likely because it has the right amount of humor, seriousness, and drama to make it enjoyable. And the fact that only women can be Slayers, which makes it even more fun. And from the fact that it was always the [I]blonde[/I] girl that got mauled in the dark alley ways, and Buffy is blonde but still kicks butt, makes the show fun.

Ok. Just to clear some things up. (Prepare yourself for a long lecture, due to the fact that I own the Watcher's Guide for Seasons 3 & 4) Oz, as we all know, a werewolf, found out that the lead singer of the band "Shy" (Veruca, who, by Willow's standards, is a "twenty-dollar ho") is a werewolf, and was mauling poor blonde girls in dark alleyways. Full moon comes, and Oz locks himself in. Breaks out, and mates with Veruca. Next full moon day. Oz invites Veruca, and he traps them in the cage. They mate, and Willow finds them. Willow is about to work some Black Majik, when Veruca comes in, ready to kill Willow. Oz arrives, and faces off with V. The sun sets, and Oz kills Veruca, and then turns to kill Willow. Buffy shoots him with a tranq. Oz, horrified with his actions, leaves Sunnydale, and goes off to find "spiritual peace".

Fast foward several months. Willow is in love with Tara, and Tara is likewise smitten. But something that Willow has been wishing for happens: Oz is back. But Will's in love with Tara. Oz, who can now control his transformations, doesn't know about the smitten-ness of Willow and Tara. Once he finds out, he loses control and transforms. The Government captures him. Riley, seeing that Oz can stop his transformations each and every time they experiment on him, breaks him out. Willow chooses Tara, and Oz leaves Sunnydale again. Maybe forever.

Told you it'd be long. And I think that I will cut this off, before I get into my views on what happens on BtVS.

~!*Sere*!~

[Manic Webb]

There's something I've been meaning to ask. When does Buffy die? I know she kills herself to save the world from Glory, blah blah blah. I want to know about her previous death(s).

When did she die to trigger the 2 new slayers?

[Sere Tuscumbia]

I feel so useful. ^_____^

Ok. Buffy first dies when she fights the Master. He has her in a hyptonotic thrall, and she is unable to move. He feeds on her, then leaves her to drown in a pool of water. She is legally dead for at least a few minutes, then Xander revives her.

Thus brings on Kendra. Poor Kendra. She only got 3 episodes before she was killed by Drusilla.

Thus brings on Faith. So far as we know, Faith is still alive.

Buffy dies the second time when Glory used Dawn's blood to open the portal that would damn all humankind. Summer's blood would open it, and Summer's blood would close it. Buffy sacrifices herself to save the world.

Stays dead for three months. Willow brings her back, thinking she's in some hell dimension (she was in heaven), and Buffy hates life. Starts boinking Spike to make her feel alive.

Which leads to the whole Xander hating Anya for boinking Spike/ hating Buffy for boinking Spike. Xander and Buffy have a make-up session in her backyard, when Warren arrives on the scene. Rants about how Buffy did him wrong, and then shoots the gun. Buffy pushes Xander outta the way, and then we see Warren slipping on the grass. An upper window breaks, and Tara dies (sorry for disrespecting the dead but YAY! SHE'S DEAD!!!). Willow gets all pissed, and goes all evil. In my opinion, she needs to spank her inner moppet.

We see Xander in the hospital. He's in the operating room, and the doctors are trying to save Buffy. Willow storms in, all evil (spank your inner moppet, imbrace the pain already woman!) and orders all the doctors out. Xander says that Buffy will die without help, but Willow's all-out cockiness takes the scene and claims that Buffy won't. Well, doctors leave, and what happens? Buffy has a flat line. That's the third time she dies. Willow reverses time, the bullet comes out, and whoop (there it is), the Buffster is alive again.

And Willow still needed to spank her inner moppet. The only reason she wanted revenge was because she couldn't boink Tara anymore . . .

Help any?

[Mnemolth]

Whoaaaaa... there for a sec girl...Buffy did NOT die by Warren's bullet. I haven't seen Season 7, dunno anything about Season 7 AND I DUN WANNA KNOW! But unless something weird goes on in S7, Buffy only died twice. Once at the hand of the Master, the other saving the world from Glory.

And just to spice up the discussion a little bit here, is it me, or does the fact that Riley got such a heap of flak from Buffy fans just goes to show that girls like their guys to have the requisite amount of 'bad' in them? 'Nice' guys finish last? Heheheh....just a thought..

[Sere Tuscumbia]

Buffy DID die from the bullet you idiot. I've watched the episode, and I'll provide a little something from Television Without Pity to help what brain cells you have get workin'.

"In the operating room, a doctor is working on Buffy's left ventricle, despite the fact that her chest isn't opened for surgery and she is in fact still wearing her damn tank top. Yeah, sure. Why cut off her shirt to operate on her heart when you live in a city where the medical profession is so advanced that it can remove a brain tumor through a pore? Buffy is not hooked up to any machines or IVs; nor is she wearing an oxygen mask, and nor is there any tape or even a sterile drape over the incision they've supposedly cut into her chest. The doctor twiddles two fingertips on Buffy's chest, which signifies operating, I guess. It's like a fourth grade play in here. An assistant stands near a bank of machines and claims that Buffy's "BP is down to 80/palp," despite the fact that there are no electrodes or sensors of any sort attached to Buffy. I may not know what "80/palp" means, but I do know that heart monitors don't take readings with freakin' telepathy.

All the lights in the room flash, and the machines beep frantically as we see that Willow has entered. She's taken the time to change into all-black clothes, but in a nice touch from Wardrobe, her severe black jacket is one we've seen her wear before. She tells the operating staff to leave. And why not, since all they were doing to help was waving gauze over Buffy's throat? Everyone stares for a second; then the medical staff files out. Buffy's heart-monitor flat-lines, which is the first thing in this scene that makes sense, because it wasn't ****in' attached to anything in the first place. Xander hurries in behind Willow and frets that Buffy is going to die, but Willow blandly says she won't. Where's the Willow that Rack said was running on pure fury? I was totally looking forward to her, but instead we got gypped; all we got was Willow running on pure zombie. Willow then performs a little faith healing of her own. The bullet levitates out of Buffy's chest. Zombie Willow stares at it and zombies, "It's so small." She closes the bullet in her fist, and when she opens her hand, it's gone. On the table, Buffy stirs and slowly sits up. She's confused as to where she is, and Xander embraces her, telling her she has to stop dying. Buffy stares at black-haired Willow, who smiles and says, "Buffy. Hey." Where's the fury? I want the fury! Willow walks out, droning that it's time to find Warren."

She dies. Just deal with the fact that I'm right. And since Buffy died in Seasons 1, 5, and 6, then she has died THREE times. Yep. THREE. And *coughcough*[SIZE=1]theymightkillBuffyoffforawholenewSlayerseries[/SIZE]*coughcough*

And Riley was a jackazz. He was funny in the beginning, but then just turned into a real idiot later on. With the whole "vampire wh*re-house" thing too. Although the Watcher's Guide has a really hot picture of him and Xander . . . ^_^ He deserved to leave.
