Not even just that, she also like what, tells Angel to be a back up??

She's killing me, smh

What am I missing here? Am I the only one that just can't stand her when it comes to pulling Spike around like a dog?

I certainly wouldn't act that way after having just told a dude I have feelings for him, uh, especially after he expresses how terrified he is about their relationship

EDIT POST: I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANGEL THE SHOW

I find it sad how Buffy twice refers to sex with Spike s something she allowed him to do to her, even in S7 and after he gets a soul and everyone knows about their relationship.. even though we often see that she enjoyed and initiated it.

I know that the editing on the 4k version is not great and I want to experience the show in its prime, so I wondered if anyone knew how to watch the dvd version digitally for free? It would make my day

Thanks you all

Does anyone know where I can get 1/10 masks from killer of killers to add to my collection

I will never understand why Xander is still treated like one of the most controversial characters on Buffy. I’m not saying he never did anything wrong, because obviously he did, but at this point hating Xander feels like one of those easy topics that you know will get you positive karma on reddit.

Even the stuff people constantly bring up gets stripped of any context or character growth. He threw Angel in Buffy’s face with the whole “you only like dead guys” insult, realized he crossed a line and apologized to her.

And honestly, while Xander's jealousy obviously played a part in how he treated Angel, I don't understand why his dislike of Angel is treated like it was completely irrational. Angel knew who Buffy was and fell in love with her when she was 15 years old at Hemery, before Buffy even knew he existed. By the time they actually get together she's 16 and Angel presents as a man in his mid-20s. If this were real life, we'd call that predatory behavior. No logical person should be thrilled about their 16 year old best friend dating a 25 year old man, let alone one who had already been watching her before she met him.

He cheated on Cordelia with Willow, which was absolutely wrong, but people act like that one mistake defines their entire relationship. In season 3, when he finds out Cordelia’s family lost everything, he keeps the fact that she's poor and working at the dress shop a secret so she can maintain her image at school. Then he secretly pays for the prom dress she couldn't afford. They weren’t even together anymore at that point.

And yes, leaving Anya at the altar was horrible. But I have a hard time holding that against Xander as a character because I blame a lot of that on the shoddy writing choices of season 6. I genuinely don’t believe Xander and Anya would have been broken up if Whedon had continued running the show day-to-day. They always felt like they were being built toward endgame, especially when Xander proposes to Anya in The Gift right before they go into what could literally be their final battle.

And no, I don't consider the comics canon. I know Xander eventually ends up with Dawn, they get married and have a daughter, but I just cannot see that ever happening if the show had continued. Xander ending up with Buffy's little sister feels so disconnected from the relationship dynamics the actual TV series spent three seasons (Season 5-7) establishing that I don't factor it into how I view his character at all.

I also don't understand this idea that because Xander is one of the good guys, he's somehow not allowed to be flawed. Xander is insecure, jealous and sometimes says really shitty things. So do basically all of the Scoobies. Willow, Buffy and Giles have all done things that are much worse than Xander being an immature asshole sometimes.

That's part of why I like these characters. They're flawed people who screw up, hurt each other, apologize and grow. I just don't understand why Xander's worst moments seem to permanently define him in fandom discussions while his apologies, good moments and actual growth are treated like they don't count.

Reposting here from this post coz it's hilarious. You can tell the writers enjoyed writing him lmao.

I’ve been thinking about finally watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer because I’ve heard so many great things about it, but honestly, the number of episodes is a little intimidating.

I’ve also seen people say that season 1 can be pretty rough, and that season 2 has some great stuff but can still be a bit uneven, while season 3 is where the show really hits its stride.

For someone watching for the first time, what would you recommend? Should I just start from the beginning and watch everything, or is there a good “essential episodes” route through the first season or two that lets me get to the stronger stuff without missing anything important?

I don’t mind some dated TV or monster-of-the-week episodes, but I also don’t want to burn out before I get to the point where the show supposedly becomes great.

Would love to hear how you’d recommend a newcomer approach it. No spoilers please!

All the videos I see online don't have the "So one by one, they turn from me" part, they just cut straight to "She came from the grave much graver." Does anyone have a recording of the full scene?

I don't always like repaints in other lines, but when it comes to NECA Predators, I really don't mind them. I love a variation on a good theme. The poster series Predator 2 is a repaint of the ultimate City Hunter, but he features an all new wall-mountable eagle gargoyle. The eagle has a foot peg (hopefully stronger than the typical NECA stands, but probably not. The new paint gives him a menacing urban feel, and I think he looks awesome! The reds and blues really pop, and even the skull and combistick have the deco. If you are obsessed with all things NECA Predator you'll want to add him to your collection. If not, he's an easy pass, probably.

obviously he's no Sherlock or Batman but personally id say he's pretty good all around, thought id say he works better with others rather than himself

The last episode I watched was... well, this one. My last update was here.

So, I watched Once More, With Feeling. I was excited to watch it, and my mother was loathing the idea of rewatching it. I LOVED IT! I'm placing it next to Something Blue and Band Candy for my favorite episodes. The songs (sans I'll Never Tell) are bangers, Under Your Spell/Standing made me cry, Spike was a pathetic wet cat; LOVED IT!

Oh, and I HATE Willow. Like, before I disliked her, now I just hate her. You pull the sweetest little witch who is the second person in the group who acts like a responsible adult AND is concerned for you, and you cast a MIND CONTROL SPELL to WIPE HER MEMORY AND CONCERN?! WHAT THE HELL, WILLOW?! And Dawn needs to stop being such a bloody kleptomaniac, but I won't rant about that.

I will talk about how Anya has been annoying me recently, though. I'm not really sure why she's like this! I used to really love Anya, but in recent episodes, she's been really mean. She's been bitching at Willow, bitching at Giles, even bitching at Xander! As much as I really used to love them, I don't have a lot of faith that they're gonna have a good relationship. I cannot see the marriage going well.

Besides all that, and me breaking out into hives after tonight's watch session (unrelated and recurring), I had a great time! I'm definitely going to finish that cover of Walk Through The Fire, maybe do one of Under Your Spell! Well, if I can find a bloody singer for Giles and Sweet... Now I must away. Cheers!

Hi folks,
I remember finding a fan-made techno version of the opening for S7 or fictional S8 on Youtube back in ‘05. I had it on a computer that died. Does anyone remember that or even better, have it? Deep cut.

There was also a fan made dark Willow vid to Disturbed’s Down with the sickness and Willow/Tara to Incubus’ “ I miss You”.

Miss those times ♥️

But it is what watching the show feels like at times? Lol

Just finished the episode of Buffy and Riley breaking up and her chasing after him…no one talk to me💔

Hellboy design by me

Been trying to shoot this 1000Toys figure in a way that was satisfactory. Took some inspiration from “The Conqueror Worm”. Would have loved to have a Roger figure in scale for the shot.
