Buffy the Vampire Slayer

A comical need to belong

source: americaninoz (WordPress)

I suppose I must begrudgingly admit that the Buffy Season 8 comic is bordering on cool. The show was a cult classic, though it should have been hailed a ‘classic’, period. But Season 8 has been developed in the spirit of the old-fashioned comics, and by an artistic genius no less – one Joss Whed...

Serenity / Firefly

source: ejvtech (WordPress)

A co-worker turned me onto the (cancelled) television series, Firefly.  It was an instant hit with me.  I love the characters and the ship.  Even though I am not a big Buffy/Angel fan (sorry Mr. Whedon), I must give props to Joss for Firefly and Serenity.  I have the series and movie on DVDs and ha...

That was nifty

Chosen (Joss Whedon) “Chosen” is not the best season finale (seasons 2, 3 and 5 have better ones) but it is an adequate way to end the entire series. I have major issues with the empowerment spell and with the huge role that Spike plays in the conclusion and that taints it for me. Joss Whedon has [......

Why Great Horror is Heartbreaking

source: io9

Joss Whedon is perhaps the master of this particular brand of horror. Though the series was filled with man-eating monsters, death in Buffy the Vampire Slayer is often random, senseless, and poignant. Few moments in the show stand out as clearly as Joyce's death from an aneurysm, or Tara's...

The Scary/Funny History Of Horror Comedy [Horror Comedy]

source: io9

Joss Whedon's Buffy empire, including a movie and two television series, pretty much deserves its own category, and it came along with a slew of other TV shows and books featuring (frequently female) heroines facing tongue-in-cheek magical/horrific threats, including Charmed and X...
