Opinion: Bored now

Written by Hazel
There are undoubtedly great episodes after S4 but overall the seasons are troublesome and I have to put it down to one thing: Spike gets a crush on Buffy. I loved evil Spike and chipped Spike but, after he fell for Buffy, I became irritated as the show focused on Spike and his relationship with...

Many of them, especially the charismatic, powerful leader, Buffy Summers, is seen as a terrorist to the government. Vampires have made their presence known, but who or what are slayers? VTV, a popular TV network, featuring Harmony's popular reality show "Harmony Bites" makes slayers o...

1.) I loved that it didn’t take itself seriously – it’s “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” after all. 5 – The Wish, Season 3 – We get an idea of a Sunnydale without Buffy. Also – Willow & Xander as vampires. Fun! Want more? Here are some Buffy/Angel/Whedon Twitter Suggestions to follow:

Opinion: Buffy season eight: Living Doll

08 Aug 2009 16:29:00 PDT

Written 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.

Opinion: It's Buffy's Fault That Vampires Are Weak Now

22 Jun 2009 13:19:11 PDT

Written by Charlie Jane Anders
But really, the Buffy/Angel love isn't where Buffy got into real trouble, and helped to inspire Edward Cullen. The real crux of the problem is the vampire who pretty much took over as the new Angel after Angel left: William the Bloody, aka Spike.

Yes, I know the idea of a Whedonless Buffy sounds like blasphemy, but the more I think about it, the more it seems like exactly what Buffy and Joss need, even if the hardcore fans don't agree. Join the dots that are my scattered reasoning:

REVIEW: I admit being a bit easy on the last few Buffy issues. I've been trying to pull out the good and push the bad under the carpet for the sake of optimism. Do I honestly think #21 deserved a 7/10? In retrospect, no. I'm not sure it would crack 5/10. Do I think #22 and #23 are really 8/10 comics? The...

Dollhouse - First Episode Review

15 Feb 2009 16:39:02 PST

Written by Geeky Talk
I plan to compile a list of my top 50 favourite TV shows and do this every year to see if the positions change or new entries appear. Buffy, Angel and Firefly would probably easily end up in my top twenty, Joss Whedon in my eyes can do no wrong. He is a genius in the land of TV and has created some of the most smart, riveting and entertaining shows around. To learn he was creating a new show was fantastic news, it’s been five whole years since we’ve seen a series from him. The end of Angel was heartbreaking because that universe which was first created through Buffy was ending but more-so that we wouldn’t be seeing a creation from the mind of Joss. Now those five years have come and gone and he’s given us Dollhouse.

Recap Review: Faith in Angel Season 1 (part 1)

10 Feb 2009 08:09:45 PST

Written by Raked
Faith runs out of Sunnydale at the end of Buffy episode “Who Are You” and straight into the beginning of Angel episode “Five by Five.” We’re immediately reminded of what Angel is now, what Faith is now, and what Angel used to be, and the comparison they’re setting up is hard to miss. (Yup, thi...

Episode Review - Buffy Between the Lines Episodes 3 & 4

02 Feb 2009 06:00:00 PST

Written by Juss
Episode 3, “Never go Up Against a Sorcerer When Death is on the Line” is a character episode of the finest order. An Ethan Rayne story (introduced at just the right time in just the right way and played expertly with all the ticks and mannerisms in place by Alex Gilmour) with all the hallmarks of the finest Ethan stories as Ethan’s trouble making brings out the personal insecurities and troubles of the character he happens to be harrassing. Giles, unable to cope with Buffy’s death, slips into alcoholism and Ethan only makes it worse by sending him on a trip into his own unconscious, bringing his worst demons and fears to the surface. This episode plays like a trip with different characters and scenes from Giles life being played over in truly sca...

Review of Buffy Between the Lines Episode 2 : Requiem for a Demon

22 Jan 2009 06:00:03 PST

Written by Juss
You want more? With Willow going to L.A to let Angel know about Buffy’s death we’re even treated to a number of crossover scenes that never did but should have happened in the TV series (or at least the comics goddammit). No, it doesn’t quite fit in with the mad demon murdering university choir-singers storyline, but Willow’s trip also becomes a disaster as there’s a demon on the loose in Angel’s hotel and Willow has to stay cool and save the day. Even more importantly, praise the lord, we’re treated to a wonderful characterisation of Cordelia that casts aside the tedious uninteresting character from Angel and gives us something close to the uber-bitch of Buffy seasons 1-3 as she lays smack into Willow and Buffy when she turns up on their doors...

Review of Buffy Between the Lines Episode One: Beginning at the End

15 Jan 2009 06:00:26 PST

Written by Juss
I’ve kept away from expanded universe Buffy material including books comics and fan-fiction mostly as the quality of the TV show (and Season 8 comics) has been so high it would seem like desecration and only make me angry. However, having heard about Buffy Between the Lines, a radio production which follows the lives of the Buffy characters inbetween seasons 5 and 6, my curiosity got the better off me; this project was so ambitious It’d either be immensely gratifying to see it pulled off or at the very least it would give me a good laugh for 30 minutes listening to a bunch of Whedonites pretending to be Willow, Xander et al and falling flat on their faces.

Written by jeff barnosky
The Five Funniest Buffy, The Vampire Slayer Episodes 3. Dracula Vs. Buffy (Season 5, Episode 1): It took four full seasons before Joss Whedon and company got around to bringing the big guy into the BTVS mix and they did so with an apropos exchange between the Slayer and the Impaler.

“Think about it.” Episode 7 Review

08 May 2008 06:00:33 PDT

Written by Present Memory
In the wake of their first loss following Buffy, the Scoobies seem shaken. None more so than the gang’s newly appointed leader, Willow. In the latest episode, “Fractures, Frogs and Fuzzy Sweaters,” we watch as she continues to delve into magicks that are growing steadily blacker. Meanwhile the Trio accidentally unleashes a plague of frogs onto the town of Sunnydale. And in a rather shocking turn of events, we also learn that it was in fact Xander who first broached the subject of bringing Buffy back. “Chapter 60, onwards.” He says quietly to Willow while she lies in bed, stunned. “Think about it.” Well, I certainly will.

“She meant it when she said we were all family.” Episode 5 Review

24 Apr 2008 07:00:47 PDT

Written by Present Memory
Xander, hurt that Buffy chose Spike to protect Dawn above himself, has been throwing himself into his work. Meanwhile Willow continues down her path toward magick addiction. And Giles and Spike both continue their separate mourning, convinced that Buffy’s death lies on their shoulders. The gang drifts further apart, hiding their feelings from one another, while struggling to con Child Protective Services in order to keep Dawn safe. All the while the vampire Javert reveals his own plan to turn Sunnydale into the Atlantis of the 21st Century. Can the Scoobs do it? Can they pull themselves together before it’s too late and Sunnydale becomes the world’s largest water-park? Giles: Has Dawson reconciled with that Joey girl?

“Remember our discussion about appropriate segues?” Episode 2 Review

03 Apr 2008 06:00:45 PDT

Written by Present Memory
Buffy Between the Lines is back for Episode 2, and they’ve brought along the Angel Investigations crew for good measure. “Requiem for a Demon” takes on the daunting task of interlacing two separate storylines. Willow joins Angel and his team in LA to bring news of Buffy’s death, and sticks around for a little impromptu monster fighting. Meanwhile the rest of the Scooby gang remains in Sunnydale, facing off with a demon that has started attacking the girls in Tara’s choir. Back in Sunnydale, Tara is put in charge when a “Puce colored Barney” starts ripping out the throats of her choir members. Without Buffy or Willow, the gang scrambles to put a stop to things before it’s too late. While unbeknownst to them, an even greater threat has just arrived...

“Buffy Meant More Than Being All Quiet” - Episode 1 Review

27 Mar 2008 10:58:54 PDT

Written by Present Memory
We all know the beautiful sacrifice that Buffy Summers made to save her sister and the world. Her gift. She saved the world. A lot. But what happened after? What was the Scooby Gang busy with during those months without the Slayer? How about dealing with a menacing group of demon…bunnies? This show is a real treat for any Buffy fan that has been searching for more of their favorite slayer since the show ended its run in 2003. It’s already fantastic, and it’s only going to get better. The cast and crew deserve massive thanks for the enormous amount of effort and love they’ve put into bringing Buffy Between the Lines to life.

Opinion: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight: The Long Way Home

01 Feb 2008 17:30:59 PST

Written by MarkAndrew
So. The Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV show is (A) surprisingly close to what you’d figure it would be about from the title. And (B) my favorite TV program ever. P.S. Anybody know? Did the Buffy/X-men sub-plots and main plot structure originate in TV or comics?) Call it Fake Buffy in Fairyland.
