This thread is making me very emotional

 

[Rebelda]

I loved the shift of scooby focus to the magic shop. It never felt quite right at Giles' bachelor pad

 

[Glitter]

It kept getting bigger and bigger!

It was Tiny when Mr Bogarty had it!

 

[Rebelda]

Tardis shop, innit

 

[Balbi]

kittyP, The Philadelphia Story. Stewart, Grant & Hepburn? Goodness.

This may be my favourite thread on Urban

Just recognised that Seth Green was one of my first guy crushes

 

[Balbi]

Also, his complete lack of surprise at seeing a vampire get slayed.

"Actually, it explains a lot"

*sigh* why does he have to be so short.. I am equal parts sad and glad that they didn't find a way to bring him back for the last series.

I just watched a clip of where Buffy finds her Mum, her acting is brilliant. It wouldn't have worked if the acting hadn't been as good as the ideas and the writing, it's obvious no-one was cast purely for their looks although it is a very good-looking cast of course.

 

[Rebelda]

I do wonder how actually good looking they all are - I suspect it's partly the great characters/writing/acting iyswim. Apart from Faith, who is just.. *dribbles*

 

[Balbi]

See, I never got the Faith thing

I can't watch that. Its really raw. I think we have to credit the director for that scene too. The fact that there's no background sound adds to the rawness.

I LOVE Jonathan. I always thought he was a little sweetie.

Shouldn't that be "a little sweatie", as in "sweaty, whiny dwarf"?

You gotta have Faith, Balbs, you gotta have Faith.

Sometimes there is what sounds like the kind of high frequency hum you hear in your brain when things are really shitted up, before it is suddenly cut out. That was genius too.

That episode deserves all the adulation and awards that it got.

He starred in the Matrix though!

Buffy - "Giles, do you have a Jonathan swimsuit calendar?"​

Giles - "No ... Yes .... It-it was a gift."​

 

[The Octagon]

I've sat through some truly terrible films solely because Eliza Dushku was in them

 

[Rebelda]

Do it!

 

[kittyP]

Do it!

I am singing my heart out

I have the karaoke version of some of the songs, off of the DVDs. Sometimes I listen to them just because.

Yep. It gets the way your brain goes strange in times of stress perfectly.

For me, it was the bad girl thing that I deeply, deeply admired and tried failed to emulate as a 13 year old girl. Also, her hair.

eta: I now really appreciate her intense vulnerability, which I didn't get so much as a tween.

Spikes face when he starts singing Let me Rest in Peace "oh ffs"

 

[kabbes]

I will walk through the fire!

 

[Rebelda]

There's nothing we can't face ... except for bunnies.

Pretty sure that Once More With Feeling placed very highly on C4's list of the top 100 musicals of all time. Because it is a proper musical -- the plot is advanced through the songs. And the reason for it being a musical grows organically out of the plot too. Perfect.

Apparently, Whedon turned up on day 1 of the production meetings for Season 6 with the script, lyrics and musics all completely written and finished and threw it down on the table. He knew exactly how he wanted it, and he knew it was going to be the beating heart of the whole season.
