NoAngelus Posted July 13 Posted July 13 So I watched Angel 1x09 last night... It's funny, I remember watching show for the first time and thinking 1x08 was like the best Buffyverse episode and nothing will ever top it, but this time, I didn't care about it like at all. I guess because B&A are such a history for me, I don't care for them anymore lol But Hero on the other hand... And knowing actor died just few years later... Did i imagine or I saw back in the day Joss saying he wanted Doyle to die early on? Because everywhere I look now I see people saying he was fired from the show because of his problems... Oh and that last scene with Angel and Cordelia watching him on tape. That moment alone is more intimate than anything between Angel and Buffy. And them losing Doyle and being left alone is what started their bond, and from this moment his relationship with Cordelia until the end is why I always root for them and prefer him with her. They actually got to meet each other and slowly fall in love. In Buffy you see her falling in love with Angel few episodes in. And I love how they kept mourning Doyle until the end of the show.
SinnerCity Posted July 14 Posted July 14 It requires you to reach a certain age and be with certain people / have certain life experiences to fully grasp the complexity of Season 6. Each character had a storyline that one way or another had an impact on their personal growth and there's no better way to showcase the transition to adulthood than some of the t themes portrayed in the show such as PTSD and substance addictions. The older I get, the more I understand how crucial this season was for character development and how different it was from everything else. Fantastic 5

Fantastic I loved season six as a kid, despite its darkness, and as an adult I appreciate it on such a different level. 1
Gorjesspazze9 Posted July 15 Posted July 15 Even tho it's one of my least favorite seasons. S6 does have one of the best episodes in the entire series. also Willow is my favorite character in the show, so I'm biased about anything dealing with her. 1
StarsAllAligned Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Does anyone have a favorite memory or moment pertaining to Buffy? I used to love watching it at like 7 am on FX as a kid it felt like part of my daily routine. I also still geek out everytime I watch the Johnson Family Reunion where Solange is watching the s7 finale as if I haven't watched it a trillion times. 2

Buffy was my sister's favorite show and she would make me and my brother watch it when we were like 6. It was like Season 3, towards the end of the season when Buffy and Angel are breaking up before Prom that I remember vividly😭 also some of season 2 with Kendra. I just watched it cuz we had to when she babysat us, and I thought Sarah was cool for fighting.

The FX morning years!!!! So nice; I miss those times.
Have A Break Posted July 29 Posted July 29 I don't know if it is OK to post here (not sure if it connects to the Buffyverse in some way), but I thought I'd give it a shot since it's also a Joss Whedon show and I can't seem to find a separate thread for it: I will be watching The Nevers soon! Very excited cause I LOVE Laura Donnelly! Anyone already watched it? What are your (spoiler-free) thoughts?
Gorjesspazze9 Posted July 30 Posted July 30 I know Fans don't want a reboot or revival without Sarah. Same. but it's time Disney actually uses thier IP's. And I'm down for them continuing Buffy on Disney+…. If they actually have creatives that care for the original source material and they use cast members from the show and spinoffs to build the world. Like Elisha Dushku is right there! Just have her star in a Spin-off 10 episode limited Faith series, alongside spike. They can just say a spell was cast on spike and Angel so they can age, while still being vamps. Or something. Then have Sarah return in the Season finale. At this point I'm fine with them making a series about a new young slayer, and build the world. I know it's selfish but I need a revival before I get too old. Just one last go for Buffy and the Scooby gang. I know that audio book thing flopped, but her returning in live action one more time would be a hit. I know it

I know it I think someone mentioned the idea here before that they could do anthology miniseasons where it's a slayer's story per season, from different places, different eras. The Buffyverse is grand and the good thing is you don't need to go back to get any of the old cast and start fresh. They can do a Fray show for a season (the comic was incredibly amazing, so they should do a Fray miniseries no matter what), then the next season do a slayer from the past... next season another slayer... since it spans centuries, classes, etc. the themes each season would tackle could be fantastic and even play with production design so they all feel different. I'm honestly OK with SMG not being on board. Buffy's story has been told and she's moved on. Let's leave her be. Edited July 30 by Have A Break 2
NoAngelus Posted August 3 Posted August 3 Finished S1 of Angel and it's so much better than I remember. Even tho I liked Doyle and first 10 episode, show founds its footings once Wesley joined. Their chemistry is so natural. Every time I rewatch Buffy I pay attention during S3 on Angel, Cordy and Wesley and I can't believe those 3 characters that barely interacted managed to lead a show in a way they did. The end of Wesley's first episode when Angel makes them breakfast... The end of season when Cordy makes them dinner in her apartment and gives Angel blood and says he can drink it because they are family... Buffy never had those moments. Wesley went from goofy to seriously good sidekick pretty fast. Once they started introducing W&H more show became soooo good. I love all the lawyers, the setting, everything about it. I forgot Lindey lost his hand so soon in the show, and in what away... I don't even have to mention Faith episodes because everyone knows those were the peak episodes of that character.

They even made a joke about it in the final season. They were friends in real life so I guess their chemistry came off as sexual. There was so much fan fiction involving them having sex. I was a kid reading it. 1

Were they canceled after they finished shooting or they actually had time for rewrites and open ending was what Joss wanted? Cancellation was announced during the season. They had plenty of time for rewrites. Joss claimed he wanted to have it be the last season from the beginning. Jailbait lover James Marsters wanted the show to continue. I guess he was in love with pretending to be Spike. 1

In my head, I had read that Joss was speeding up the Ilyria storyline because of the abrupt cancellation, right? That Fred would not have died in s5 if WB had not suddenly cancelled it.

I'm always relieved when I read that they had time to rewrite ending, but the fact that they didn't probably means that even if show had last season announce don time it was never gonna get happy ending.

The fact that we see her happy singing love song and then Lorne shocked jumpscare face and she just falls down... Brutal. I am obsessed with my rewatch on S2 at the moment, everything was such a major step up. The location with Hotel, cinematic filming locations, Lorne and his bar, more of W&H, Darla's storyline... Her love for Angel is so real, when she told him that God doesn't want him but she still wants him... Amazing character. Amazing show.

We don't need a continuation of her story. An anthology series of all the slayers that preceded Buffy and Faith, such as Sineya (the first slayer) would be much more interesting. Bianca Lawson never ages - she looks even younger now than when she played Kendra. We could see her backstory too. I'd love to also see more of the villains origin stories such as The Master, The First, the Turok Hans, and the Mayor in his ancient snake form. There is soooo much in Buffy's mythology that can be explored.
ctlp27 Posted August 16 Posted August 16 Yeah I had written that a couple months ago I think. I still don't get why Disney is not announcing anything. A Buffyverse doesn't have to be high budget and it could be easy to do a thrilling period drama with different casts, different shooting direction. Look Shogun had japanese, so they could also do it in the language of the country and use that extra tax credit from each country they do a season. Hire me.

They did announce it back before Joss Whedon got exposed by Charisma I think Joss simply own everything about this show and they can't do it without him. I mean he himself refuses to release bluray of the shows or remaster them... And tbf I don't think there is demand for anthology show from this universe, while Buffy remained iconic show, it's more of a cult classic, it was never massive among GP so it wouldn't really make any noise... I think Blade Runner 2049 is pretty good example of this situation.
Gojira Posted August 17 Posted August 17 Does anyone know if David Boreanaz has a show lined for the upcoming season? He has been on a show steadily since 1997.
