Buffy the Vampire Slayer

By Billie Doux(noreply@blogger.com) Can I say how much I loved seeing Eliza Dushku and Alexis Denisof together again? The Buffy/Angel fan in me just enjoyed it to bits. Their antagonistic partnership even mildly resembled Faith's and Wesley's.

By noreply@blogger.com (Billie Doux) 7. Anna Paquin as Sookie: love her, hate her, or are you in that amorphous in between area? Good news for Anna Paquin. 20% said they outright loved her, and 72% either liked her, thought she was okay, or were in that amorphous middle. However, not one respondent said they hated her, and that's al...

By josie.kafka@gmail.com (Josie K) Earlier this week I realized that the bait-and-switch of ‘What happened to Olivia?’ was very similar to Buffy Season Five: for the first few episodes, Buffy didn’t even let the viewer ask who the spunky and annoying tween was. Then, suddenly, we get a Dawn-centric episode that explains no...

By noreply@blogger.com (Billie Doux) I will again say that I love how Joss Whedon brings back actors that he loves. But having the casts of Buffy, Angel and Battlestar mixed together like this feels a little like television incest. And was outright weird to hear Jamie Bamber and Alexis Denisof reverse accents. Although, oddly, t...

By noreply@blogger.com (Billie Doux) So Jack comes back, newly committed to his mates at Torchwood, and what does he get? His past arrives and tries to kill everybody. "John Hart" was a lot like Jack, except without a conscience or anything resembling restraint. That bar scene was something special. Scorching kisses, gratuito...

By noreply@blogger.com (Billie Doux) Bill: "It's definitely time for me to go." Queen: "This alpha male posturing. You two really should just fuck each other and get it over with. I could watch." This reminded me of Buffy telling Spike to wrestle it out with Angel, and oil of some kind being involved. :)

By noreply@blogger.com (Billie Doux) This fall, my priorities will be Supernatural, Dollhouse, and Dexter. This winter and spring, I'll be deeply into reviewing the final season of Lost. I'm committed to continuing with the Buffy comics until season eight ends, at which time I will almost certainly stop. I'm not a comic book pe...

By noreply@blogger.com (Billie Doux) Buffy wants to hurt Gepetto, but the dolls beg her not to; they say he keeps them safe. Dawn tells Buffy that Buffy can't keep her safe. At least two references to Buffy being the only slayer, even though there are a zillion of them. Buffy still has more responsibility than anyone else.

By noreply@blogger.com (Billie Doux) Faith and Giles rescue a reluctant new slayer named Courtney from a vamp. Courtney mentions the Slayer Sanctuary, a place where slayers don't have to be slayers. Giles says this is a place they need to check out. Quotes: All of my Buffy reviews are archived here. Season eight comics, issue 24)

By josie.kafka@gmail.com (Josie K) Spoiler Warning: I’m going to allude to many of the clips showed at Comic-Con’s Lost panel! Proceed at your own risk! I also talk about Buffy Season Five and beyond, and Angel Seasons Four and Five.] Buffy and Angel spoiler warning! If you haven’t seen these show yet, dear god stop reading an...

By noreply@blogger.com (Billie Doux) Buffy: "Fine. You can keep the island. Now give me back my nerd." Synopsis: Review: Quotes: Xander: "Forgive her. We're up to our eyeballs, or, for some, eyeball, in Harmony fallout." Billie All of my Buffy reviews are archived here. Season eight comics, issue 23)

By noreply@blogger.com (Billie Doux) Kennedy and Satsu report to Buffy and Xander electronically. Buffy instructs the slayers to stay low profile, act human. Public opinion is currently in favor of those harmless, fun vampires and against the slayers. Clip of Harmony on Larry King talking about how persecuted vampires are.

By noreply@blogger.com (Billie Doux) Buffy: (to the young slayer, on phone, bad connection) "Honor, BRFFFF... duty. Together... over BZZT death... evil candy... sometimes there are snakes... honor." Buffy: "What the hell is wrong with people?" Andrew: "People suck. Ooooh, Anderson Cooper." Eh,

By noreply@blogger.com (Billie Doux) The Magister mentioned that Bill had "decreased our numbers at an important time in our history." I assume he meant coming out of the coffin. How many vampires and shapeshifters are there? We have vampires and shapeshifters now, and Sam said there was a lot more out there. Humans usually don'...

By noreply@blogger.com (Billie Doux) I liked Sookie's friend, Tara, too. I loved the way she freaked out the guy who was hitting on her at the party. Tara, like Sookie, is choosy. Unfortunately, Tara has chosen Jason, who is clearly not worthy of her affections. It's probably a good thing that he's busy screwing everyone else in sig...

By noreply@blogger.com (Billie Doux) I wonder if this series would work better for me if the dolls were special agents, private or governmental, programmed with special *additional* skills on top of their own to carry out missions. Something more important than fulfilling the sexual fantasies of a billionaire. Well, for all...

By noreply@blogger.com (Billie Doux) Dream Buffy is wearing the cross Angel gave her in "Welcome to the Hellmouth." Quotes: Buffy: "Oh, that's right. You like... and you're not... well, you probably are... but not..." Willow: "I'm not what?" Buffy: "Yikes. Open mouth, insert whole body." Buffy: "We found the followers of Morgan Freeman!"

By noreply@blogger.com (Billie Doux) Kennedy blindfolds Present Willow before she opens the rift. Buffy leaps for it, but Future Willow stands in her way. Buffy realizes that Future Willow brought her there for this very reason. Buffy stabs Future Willow with the pointy end of the Scythe, and kills her. Present Willow, blindfol...

By noreply@blogger.com (Billie Doux) Review: Future Willow is no longer human. She's not a vampire, either. What is she? Erin called Buffy "Puffy." Quotes: Xander: "How're you feeling?" Dawn: "Like I was ridden hard and put away wet." Xander: "Agh! Dawn, that's dis -- oh. No. It's just true."

By Billie Doux(noreply@blogger.com) The paranoid Sheriff Al Britton of the antiseptic hand cleanser was fun. I knew I recognized him but couldn't place him. It was Jack Conley, who played Sahjahn the demon on Angel. (As well as the werewolf hunter on Buffy.) Speaking of Angel, four months in Hell feels like forty years? Gee, that s...

By Billie Doux(noreply@blogger.com) Future Willow is a lot more powerful than present day Willow. Fray: "Buffy Summers." Buffy: "Present." Fray: "Buffy Summers is dead." Buffy: "Occasionally." Buffy: "How long has he been down there?" Gunther: "Orange polka dots." Buffy: "Ack! Mer-sleaze." For all of my Buffy reviews, go here.)
