Buffy the vampire slayer

[B]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. [/B][/QUOTE]

[color=blue] Damn girl slow down, you've proven you know most about Buffy the Vampire Slayer.... maybe [i]too[/i] much.[/color]

This just in! The character Riley Finn from "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer" now has his own spin-off series called "Riley" which takes place in New York with Oz and Faith. ;)

Just kidding.

I didn't really like Riley. He was somehow naive and cynical at the same time. He had a harder time grasping on the thought of demons than anyone else on the show. He was almost like a genetically engineered male Buffy, only without her personality and gender. Plus he didn't seem to trust anyone, or think anyone else but him knew what they were doing. He outstayed his usefullness when The Initiative left Sunnydale.

I wanna know what happened to Pike. Not Spike. Pike. If he weren't played by whasisname from 90210, he'd have been a decent character to put in the show. Of course, who's to stop them from re-casting for a TV series?

To set another thing straight: the quotations? From TwoP (Television Without Pity, the episode "Villians" recapped oh-so-graciously by Ace. And unless I have a multiple personality disorder, and can recap while sleep-walking, I don't think I'm Ace. Ok, yeah, I know a whole freaking lot about Buffy. However, that's only becuase I (my sister) have/has the Season 1 & 2 Buffy the Vampire Slayer DVD's. I've watched each episode at least 10 times. My sister also has TWG for Seasons 1 & 2, and I have TWG for Seasons 3 & 4. So yeah, I think I have rights to know a lot about BtVS.


*shudders* Maybe if they put Riley on his own show, he'd loosen up and have some personality, and *shudders* have a relationship with Faith *dies of horror* (personality: that's what happened w/ Angel. Come on, he was a prick when he was on Buffy (although cool when he was evil) and then he suddenly goes off to his own show, has a kid, and loosens up. However, they could've done without Cordie . . .)

Amen, Endymion. Buffy didn't need Riley. And that's all he ever deserves from me. Ok, he rescued Oz, so I'll give him points for that.

Pike . . . Pike . . . Pike . . . what season?! For once, my mind is pulling a total blank . . . T-T;;

And you know what character they should bring back? Whistler. God I loved his character. "Raiding an Englishman's fridge is like datin' a nun. You never get the good stuff." He was perfect. BRING HIM BACK!!!

And also Ethan Rayne. He shoulda escaped from Area 51 by now . . . and, with Ripper not in Sunnydale (No! Bring Giles back! We all love Giles!), Ethan could wreak some major havoc. God that would be fun.

Pike was the guy in the original Buffy movie. He was a completely normal person and he was all for helping Buffy slay. Sorta like Xander, only more of a wannabe rebel than an outsider.

[Sere Tuscumbia]

You threw me off with the Pike reference. Sis (the almighty Buffy guru. All hail my sister.) cleared it up for me. Pike = Ford. Well, in that sense, they wouldn't be able to bring Pike/Ford back. "Lie to Me" (2nd Season) Ford is transferred to Sunnydale. Buffy's thrilled. After Buffy stakes a vampire and Ford sees, Ford reveals he knew about her being the Slayer the whole time. Buffy's even happier. Then,(dun dun dun) we find that Ford is "le vampire wannabe" Traps Buffy in with himself (Ford), other vampire wannabes, and Spike, but doesn't win in the end. Buffy and the others get out, and Ford is changed into a vampire. Buffy stakes Ford as he rises out of the grave . . .

So, yeah, Ford's pretty much outta the picture. And if Sis is correct (I'm hoping she is) then Pike most likely wouldn't be able to make an appearance.

Who else thought that the BtVS movie sucked?

[Manic Webb]

I'll admit that the movie was pretty campy and cheesy. I saw a "making of" thing on A&E and the director kept being told by FOX and Buffy's creator to make it scarrier over and over. She thought it was scarry enough already. The director was an old lady.

I like the movie, though. It was just plain ridiculous. Paul Ruben's death was my favorite part. (Ooo, Oh! Ah! Ugh! Eee! Oh! Ack! Oooooh!)

Buffy slaying that one lead vampire was a little anti-climactic, though.
