[Callum]

I apsolutely LOVE it. My favourite TV show, by far.

[Ann]

now then Callum I dont really watch this too much but I have seen it a couple of times but my nephew Nicky would tell you everything hes got all the dvds to it aswell as he used to bring them here when he stayed but i dont see him much now as hes busy at college :wink:

[Billy]

I LOVE it. I used to watch it all the time, teh only thing I didnt like was series 4 :(

[Callum]

I'm watching season 1 again at the moment.
Getting all the boxsets of PLAY.com soon though, their only cheap on there.
And getting a Buffy 2008 calendar as well, haha I'm obessed with it.

[Billy]

2008? I cant believe they still do them. I love Season 3 and 5

[Callum]

What do you think of Season 6 then Billy?

I LOVE Season 6, the episodes are amazing. You've gotta love Once More With Feeling.

[Billy]

It was OK. My favourite character Willow goes bad so I like the ending, but I didnt like the seasons big bad, and I found it so sad when Tara died

[Callum]

Oh yes I cried when Tara died, I loved her. I didn't like it either when Willow went bad, it was eevviill.

[MarkWaldorf]

Totally back in love with this show.
Been downloading all the episodes. I'm currently watching the last few episodes of S6 on FX. Forgot how amazing Dark Willow is!

[Callum]

I want to get the Buffy and Angel magazines but they're £8 for like 3 episodes and if you got them all it'd cost you about £250 when you get the whole series' for less than £100. I remember I once was in a play of Once More With Feeling. :laugh:

I've got issue 1. But since I've found a place to download all the episodes there's no point. I only have a few on DVD, so the issues were a god send.

[Tom4784]

I love Buffy! It's amazing and that magazine is a rip, you can get each series for a tenner at the shopping centre near us.

[Callum]

I have Season 2, Season 5, Season 6, Season 7, need to get the others, there only cheap now.

[MarkWaldorf]

I only have 2 and 7.

[Scarlett.]

I need to watch this again :dog:

[MarkWaldorf]

Its on FX everyday :hello:

[Scarlett.]

Is FX on freeview?
What time :eureka:

[MarkWaldorf]

I don't think so :sad: It's on at 11am/4pm. There starting Season 7 tomorrow.

[Scarlett.]

Awww
I'll have to go with surfthechannel

[Callum]

Season 6 is so sad with Tara's death :bawling:

[Big_Brutta]

[MarkWaldorf]

:sad: I didn't cry when Tara was shot, but it WAS emotional!! :sad: I did cry when Xander comforted Willow just as she was about to finish doing that thing with the temple, and she just began breaking down in his arms. :sad:

I never liked Spike. Maybe because I prefer Bangel I'm just more supportive of Angel. :laugh:

[Callum]

I cryed for like a whole day when Buffy died in The Gift, sad I know. When I have down days, I listen to the music from it. :laugh:

Have you heard of Close Your Eyes? It's the composition used for Bangel.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Animated Series to be resurrected?
“Buffy the Vampire Slayer” has been many things — so much so that creator Joss Whedon jokes, “I got to make a comic book out of the TV show out of the movie out of the T-shirt out of the opera of the song of the bumper sticker of the shoe line that I love.” One of the things he left out in the absurdly long list is an animated series — which was actually in the pipeline once upon a time, and looks to find new life once again.

Back in 2002, Whedon and Jeph Loeb came up with the idea of doing an animated version of Buffy that would take place somewhere in season one. “We liked to call it episode seven-and-a-half,” Loeb joked. “It was a much simpler time. Angel had been introduced, but he was not yet Angelus. We could retrofit Dawn as a ten-year-old, so you can really play the older sister gag. Their mom is alive.” And because it was animated, “no one has to grow up.”

“Buffy the Animated Series” was meant for a more general audience than just regular Buffy fans — you didn’t need to follow the show religiously to get what was going on. “It was a very simple entry point,” Loeb said. “There is a girl in high school who has been chosen to fight evil, and there’s a great deal of it in her town. Here are her friends, and here is her watcher.”

With special effects costs no longer a concern, they were able to do in the animated series what they couldn’t on the regular TV show (and what they do now in the comics). “We could have thousands of vampires,” Loeb said. “They could fight an army of the undead. In the pilot, the vampires raised a dragon, a 120-foot wingspan dragon, and Buffy ends up riding it across Sunnydale, and as it’s shooting fire, she looks down and says, ‘Hey, I can see my house from here!’”

With many original cast members such as Alyson Hannigan, Nicholas Brendan, and Anthony Stewart Head aboard to do voiceovers, and Eric Wight aboard to do the animation, you might have thought this would be an easy sell. “We had an opportunity to do something about how animation changes and affects how things look,” Loeb said. “For me, ‘Batman the Animated Series’ drew a line where everything that came after would be compared to this particular show. ‘Buffy’ would have been the next generation of that.”

But despite taking it to “every outlet in television” — including MTV — Loeb said, they had little luck. “We’d take to one network, and they’d say, ‘How can we make this more mature?’ Well, do you want more violence? To have the language like it is in the show? To have the actors do the voices so it sounds like the show? We had all that. We would say, ‘This is what we have: big piles of money and gold, and it’s sitting in the street and you can come out and take it.’ They would ask, ‘But you do have copper pans?’ No, we have money, and gold! But they would want copper pans.”

Eventually, Fox Family signed on to air the show on Fox Kids — but when that collapsed in a Disney buyout, the show went nowhere. And yet, for some inexplicable reason, a three-minute version of the pilot just leaked to YouTube earlier this month. An online petition just started to get it on the air. Somehow, there’s fresh hope that this project may find a home after all — just as Buffy has found new success as a comic book series.

“The best Buffy stories are ones of resurrection,” Joeb said. “Everything still exists — the designs, the scripts. It’s such a ‘no-duh’ project, so why the hell not? All you need is to draw it. Eight years ago, there was no fascination with ‘Family Guy’ or ‘Robot Chicken,’ but there’s an audience now that could drive to it. You can’t stand in the way of pop culture.”

Do you want an animated Buffy? What network should it be on? And what would it take to get it on the air?

[Marc]

NO! not animated.. no no no no nooooo!! :bawling:

[Foebane100]

I know season four wasn't very good but you have to remember it had some of the best shows in it like Hush, pure genius no one talks for like 20 odd minutes yet it works really well.

[MarkWaldorf]

I watched Primeval today. I love it when she destroys Adam.

[*mazedsalv**]

Buffy= Best TV show of all time!!! :spin2:

[MarkWaldorf]

:lovedup:

There was a marathon on FX today!

[Callum]

I really doubt there'll ever be a movie, Joss will want to focus on Dollhouse well that's if it doesn't get axed but the cast are getting on in their lives now and I doubt the majority of them would want to do a movie.

[MarkWaldorf]

I hope they do though :(

Lol, I would of turned it on but I have all the episodes, I watch them randomly whenever, makes me so happy :bigsmile:

[Callum]

Same, I hope there'll be a movie but I doubt it. Imagine if it was a total disaster though. :sad:

I get what you mean, there wouldn't really be a relevant plot would there? It'd be kinda pointless.

Yeah like how Season 7 left off it's just like they'd have to focus on a brand new storyline and everything. They'd be able to think of something but just think if it was a total let down, I'd rather remember the end of Buffy from an iconic episode rather than a rushed, pointless movie.

[MarkWaldorf]

I'm so so so so so obsessed with Buffy again! :hugesmile:

[*mazedsalv**]

Ive never stopped being obsessed!! :xyxwave:

[MarkWaldorf]

:hugesmile: LOL

Well I bought the complete series so I've been watching them all again. Currently half way through S3!

[Tom4784]

Apparently they're doing some sort of comic book called Buffy Season 8 or something. So I suppose if you wanna know what happens next that'd be the best thing to get.

[MarkWaldorf]

Yeah they're like 20 issues in now. I haven't read it but apparently its good.

I'd rather let it end on S7 than have my head filled with some comic book stuff lol.

Same here. I liked the ending anyway.

[MarkWaldorf]

Yeah that's why I'm iffy about a reunion or movie. It could really ruin how good it ended.

[Gemmer-x]

I love the musical :blush:

[Sod_James]

i was a right buffy obsessed teenager lol. I had it bad. i cried at the end of the 'The Gift' iv sold most of my buffy stuff but i kept the valuable stuff. like my hand signed autograps and prop replicas. the other stuff has either gone or is packed away.

[MarkWaldorf]

^Same about The Gift. I bawled when it first aired! Especially when it flashed to her grave....I was only like 9/10 at the time as well!

And me too Gemmer! :lovedup: Amazing episode.

[Callum]

Same, I was an emotional wreck watching The Gift, lol. I still get pretty upset over it now, it's the music that gets me. I still need to get seasons 2, 3 and 4.

[MarkWaldorf]

They're really cheap now, like 15 pounds each in HMV.

I bought the complete series for 54 pounds on Play, bargainnnn!

[Callum]

Wow that is a bargain! I remember it used to be so expensive.

[MarkWaldorf]

Yeah, 54 pounds was roughly the price for just one boxset.

[*mazedsalv**]

The Gift was soo sad and emotional.
I havnt read any of the comics.

[Foebane100]

Well Buffy The Vampire Slayer - The Complete DVD Collection is now £50 and Angel - Complete Collection - Limited Edition is £47.97 on amazon.co.uk.

Starting to wonder if I should watch them all again:tongue:

The Buffy season 8 and the Angel after the fall comics are being collected into graphic novels so should be easy to get.

[MarkWaldorf]

It's fun to watch it all over again when you haven't in a long time. :hugesmile:

[Tom4784]

My sister's slowly collecting the dvds. So far she's got Buffy seasons 2,3,4,7, the 1992 film and Angel season 1. My favourite seasons are 3 and 5.

[MarkWaldorf]

I never liked the film...maybe its because I'm so used to Sarah and Sunnydale it seems weird with another plot? S2 is my favourite. Everything about it is amazing, I really can't fault any episode.

Becoming Part 2 is definitely one of my favourite TV finales ever. Playing 'Full of Grace' at the end was genius and is sooo touching!

The film was never that weird to me as I watched it before the series. I did love becoming, Season 2 is when Buffy really came into it's own.
