Then Twilight must be the worst movie ever made.

Season 7 of Buffy certainly has had a different tone than the previous seasons, so far. Four episodes in.

Finally finished the series. Good grief, been watching this forever.

But good ending. Some really good "hell yeah!" moments.

I hope Leisher gets past season 1.

Also, I think the "Initiative" season was the weakest, IMO.

The She-Mantis made the same sound as a fizzled spell in UO.
It is amusing to think back on how many times they reference the mantis chick through 7 seasons, just out of the blue.

Are the Buffy comics worth reading?

Interesting that they are referred to as "Season 8."

I've heard yes, but I've not read any.

Bought the first part of season 8... a compilation of like 5 books in one... book. "The Long Way Home," or something like that.

VERY good.

I have been using the season 6 episode "Once More with Feeling" to test DVD ripping software, so over the last couple days I have watched that episode about 4 times in its entirety.

I think Joss Whedon created the entire show and preceding 5 seasons just so he could make that episode.

The look of horror on Willow's face when Buffy sings that one word, near the end...

Are the Buffy comics worth reading?


I have heard nothing but praise for the Buffy comics/trade paperbacks (TPB).

So I finished Season 2 yesterday. Huge improvement over Season 1.

Thoughts:
-Loved the additions of Spike and Drusilla. Spike, in particular, has stolen the show. A great actor portraying a great character. I'm surprised that this guy seems to have his career stuck in TV shows.
-I find it amazing that the show can go from cheesy and hokey to serious and dark so quickly. The second part of the series finale is a great example in that you have a hilarious character driven scene between Spike and Buffy's mom only 5-10 minutes before the amazing season climax.
-One of the things I really like about Wheedon is that he has no problem killing off characters.
-Looking forward to seeing what Quark is all about. I assume I'll learn that in the next season.
-I really enjoyed the episode Bad Eggs with John Ritter.
-I think that during Buffy's on air run, I saw a single episode. That episode might have been the climax of what started going on with Willow in season 2...

Good stuff. Can't wait to grab season 3.

Told ya... if you don't love it after Season 2, you won't love it.

:-)

Don't read the comics yet. They are, effectively, Season 8 of the show.

A few weeks ago I borrowed the ex-wife's DVD's just so I could watch the "Once More With Feeling" episode (Season Six).

Another favorite is "Hush" in season 4.

I've watched "Once more" about 20 times.... I actually ripped it to my server so I could queue it up fast on the PS3...

And last week I bought the soundtrack. My kid sings the songs.

If nothing else, the entire series was worth it just for "Once More...". I can still sing the whole thing note for note from memory.

Yesterday my son sang, "I have a theory.... I don't like onions!"

No shit.

Ha ha! The reason I borrowed the DVD's was because my iTunes stumbled onto the album, and had been playing "I Have a Theory," "Rest in Peace," and "Walk Through the Fire" a lot.

They're still a part of my normal rotation.

Best Buffy episode ever!

I just read on Wikipedia that Once More With Feeling was originally going to be made for the same slot that Hush was in, but Xena did a musical episode so they waited a couple more years so that the musical idea would be fresh again.
