Buffy The Vampire Slayer

[Geekyfanboy]

This is for all you Buffy fans.. I was surfing You Tube and came across this clip. It's a montage/scene from one of my favorite episodes of Buffy from Season Six "Once More With Feeling". The story is a Demon is making the entire town break out into songs and express true feelings.

LOL....that was....something.

I was never a huge fan of BUffy.....every episode I had seen was pretty good though.

My experience with TV shows (this is my opinion mind you) is that when they resort to some sort of "musical" style show....it's shark jumpin time.

But the funny thing is this was the norm for a Buffy episode. That's why I loved the show so much.

This is making think Buffy might be a good candidate for my "Non Sci Fi TV series" thread even though it is a touch sci fi fantasy-ish.

[Geekyfanboy]

Yeah I would highly recommend it. It's a fun series. Ran for seven years and the majority of the episodes were awesome. It has some great character growth and long running storylines.

Thanks for posting this, man; this video reminded me of why I like this show.

I agree, Buffy was one of the best shows on TV in the past 10 years.  :)

The show is incredible... when it first premiered, I thought of it as just another fantasy/sci-fi/horror/comedy show to watch every now and then for mindless entertainment.  But by season 2, I was hooked.  The characters, even the supernatural ones, feel very human; it's hard not to empathize with them and care about what happens to them.

The show is a real emotional roller-coaster ride- at times it is hilarious; other times it is genuinely frightening.  Some storylines are uplifting and make you feel great about the world, others are truly tragic, and can bring a tear to your eye.

Definitely worth checking out. :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Buffy May Live On In Some Form

Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon told fans that a spinoff project is still a possibility when asked about the raft of rumored spinoffs that never came to fruition after the show left the air nearly five years ago.

Asked about future Buffy TV or film projects, Whedon said, "My answer would be, like, there are so many stars that would have to align [for them to happen]. But, you know, there's a reason I worked all of these people for so long. They're enormously talented. And clearly, from the comic, it's a story that I can't let go of. I think it would be really cool."

Whedon spoke as part of a panel at the William S. Paley Television Festival March 20 in Hollywood that reunited him with his Buffy cast members Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nicholas Brendon, James Marsters, Emma Caulfield, Michelle Trachtenberg, Charisma Carpenter, Seth Green and Amber Benson and fellow producers Marti Noxon and David Greenwalt.

Once the cult hit Buffy went off the air, reports circulated that Whedon was variously developing a spinoff series that would feature the vampire Spike (Marsters) or a British show that would feature the character of Rupert Giles (Anthony Stewart Head). None came to pass.

Since then, Whedon and several of his writers and artists have picked up the story of Buffy Summers and her "Scooby Gang" in a series of comics for Dark Horse, characterized as "season eight" of the TV show. Whedon let loose a spoiler that Green's character, the werewolf Oz, would appear in a future issue of the comic.

TV Guide critic Matt Roush, who moderated the Paley reunion panel discussion, asked whether the comic--which has morphed and developed the Buffy mythology well beyond the show's season finale--would ultimately affect any Buffy spinoff TV shows or films.

"Hypothetically, if you could make things align, that would be fun," Whedon said, adding: "And it would be lovely to make it all tie in. But if I had to shoot down everything I'm doing in the comics because we were doing a project [and] I was filming with these actual people, I wouldn't lose a lot of sleep."

Before the panel discussion, fans screened the musical episode "Once More With Feeling." Whedon later said that he had just wrapped production on another musical project. "I literally drove here from wrapping the shooting on a little independent short of my own called Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, my next musical, starring Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day. And it's going to come out somewhere, at some point, possibly on a computer. We haven't figure that out yet. And it's awesome." Noxon admitted that she also has a small part.

Could Buffy wind up in musical form on Broadway? "I would love to take a Buffy to Broadway," Whedon said. "It would not be this ['Once More With Feeling']. This is an episode of television. ... You would have to start from scratch. I've spent some time daydreaming about it, because I'm me."

Would any of his Buffy cast be on board? Most raised their hands--with the notable exception of Gellar, who smiled, shook her head and said, "I'm out." --Patrick Lee, News Editor

Buffy has built up too much momentum to just go away...  The "Season Eight" comic is still a strong seller.  One of it's biggest selling points is that it is an "in-canon" continuation of the series-- the first several issues were written by Whedon, and he is still directing the series even though other (very talented) writers are now sharing the load. 

I really hope that this series gets the trade-paperback treatment soon, so that other fans can see what the Scoobies have been up to.

If you don't have the entire series on DVD.. then this is the very best deal I have seen... the entire seven years on 40 disc plus extras on sale at Amazon.com for $69.99. That's only 10 bucks a season.. I paid three times that much per season when it first came out. :(

I just bought it! Sure, I'm a poor college student, but I'm allowed to treat myself once every two years or so. ;)

Rock on.. you deserve it.. and this is the best deal around.. like I said I spent $245 for all seven seasons.

[billybob476]

My friend bouhgt all the TNG, DS9 and Voyager seasons when they were 150.00 each. He spent like 3000 dollars on them all.

[Geekyfanboy]

yeah I did the same, I bought them the first day of release. Luckily they were on sale for $99.99 so I spent $2100.00 for TNG, DS9 and VOY and they were worth every penny.

I listen to the Anomaly of Buffy and I went and brought The Chosen Collection. I was one of those that saw the movie and didn't like it. I didn't know the series was so different. Little way into season one and loving it.
