Buffy the Vampire Slayer + Angel (aka Buffyverse)

Also, can we please talk about how fantastic this ending scene was? 

 

 

 

Sarah's acting was absolutely brilliant, her realisation at the end, my god, what a plot twist had this been the series finale
 

 

Sarah Michelle Gellar was robbed plenty of times of an EMMY for this show, it's criminal

What's your least favorite episode?

 

My somewhat controversial pick is the S6 Halloween episode - it's not outright BAD, but it's so pointless and boring, the story is extremely redundant and it breaks the tradition of Halloween being the one day a year when the evil forces aren't active for literally no reason :gaycat6:

Wait, which episode is that again? I’m too lazy to check and I can only remember the one from s2

"All the Way", the one right before the musical episode. It's Dawn-centric and a forgettable bore so no wonder you don't remember it  :gaycat7:

 

There's also "Fear, Itself" in S4 which is pretty good although not as memorable as the one in S2

One of her top performances in one of the best episodes of the entire show :worship:

I knew there was another one in the earlier seasons but couldn’t remember it (I was confusing it for Band Candy), especially since Fear Itself is one of my favorite episodes :dies:

 

Also, the one where she’s with those boys and they’re vamps? :toofunny3:

that's the S6 Halloween episode with Dawn, that's when the inside joke of "Dawn's in trouble? must be tuesday" was born back then cause Buffy aired on Tuesdays

I always loved this episode and yeah Sarah was robbed many many times, it's crazy that's why I always hoped she could find the project that would bring her to Emmys or Oscars

PS1 graphics aside the Mayor was by far my favourite villain so far and S3 was my favourite too

Anybody else watching The Normies react to this on YouTube? I look forward to it every Thursday and they just started season 3 and it’s amazing to see them falling in love with it.

Now that I'm finished S3 is Angel worth watching? If it is what's the right viewing order between that and Buffy

And this scene is proof of why Sarah Michelle Gellar is an Emmy Award winning actor! And to ignore her is criminal.

She should have been given more roles. The Crazy Ones isn't my cup of tea but Ringer deserved a renewal

It's important for characters like Faith and Cordelia. Season 2 and season 3 are my all-time favorites of Angel.

Ringer being robbed of a second season after that cliffhanger? It took me years to watch The CW after that.

it should have never been on the CW to begin with it should have been on CBS like it was originally meant to be. Ringer season 1 was so intense and I loved her as Siobhan and Bridget

To be honest, had it been on CBS, it wouldn't have gone beyond its initial 13-episode order. I see why CBS put it onto The CW. It would've faired better had Paramount Plus been around.

Hey, it's a series she'll likely have for more than one season. I count that a gift.

Ringer would have had a better chance of renewal had it been on a streaming platform, same situation for Dollhouse. The concepts were great but at the time networks were looking for quick hits and so many stories were left untold because of that. Relying 100% on viewers was hard, most of the shows nowadays get renewed based on demand numbers and ratings.

Why didn't The Crazy Ones work out? you had two legends in the leads but it ended up being cancelled

I think the concept wasn't interesting enough to attract viewers, I mean, I remember back in the day it took me months to start season 2 and right before I was about to start it got cancelled. To be fair, I think what Sarah should've done was choosing better films after Buffy ended, the last major movie she was in was Southland Tales and The Grudge, The Air I Breathe and Possession weren't exactly praised by the critics. A thriller and a comedy film would've done wonders for her career but I can see why motherhood took the top spot in her priorities list and I don't blame her for that really.

 

However, I will say, not expanding the Buffyverse back in 2014 was a mistake, perfect time to pitch a new slayer story to Netflix.

CBS did a blood bath that year. Plus, from what I heard, the series cost too much to make and the ratings did not reflect the money being put into it, so CBS cut it.

Do you think it also felt too much of a wannabe version of The Office?

It's sad that the Buffyverse has basically been dead and the only thing that kept it afloat were those horrendous comics.

No clue. Never seen The Office.
