Doesn't that sound like Dante's "Inferno" in "The Divine Comedy" trilogy? There's a part where Virgil and Dante visit a man whose body is half submerged in ice and he says that his body walks with a demon posessed while he freezes in Hell. It was because he killed his family or something. Just a thought.

On-topic comparisons of Highlander and Buffy are perfectly welcome. The Highlander/Buffy thread was killed because neither Jill nor I liked the tone of some of the posts. IMO they were patronizing and in one case practically trolling for trouble. It isn't that we don't like Highlander or that we felt the thread was off-topic. It was becoming a bit too heated for our tastes. If someone can reintroduce the thread and keep it civil Jill and I will let it run six ways to Sunday as long as it stays on topic. >I'm not a listadmin, and as such I apparently have no power in the >administration of this list.

In the rules, Jill and I clearly say we reserve the right to kill threads that are offensive or are degenerating into a flame war, or are off-topic. If a thread gets killed, you can assume it's for one of those three reasons and no other.

Just found out that next weeks episode which was suppose to be "I Robot-You Jane" is now a repeat of "The Witch" which is disspointing and good at the same time. Why it's bad is because I look forward to every week for something new. And the reason why it's good is because I can add it to my taped episode collection. I have "Teacher's Pet","Never Kill a Boy on The First Date","The Pack", and "Angel" on tape. Also because the episode has some "cute" highlights. Buffy get's magically drunk. Xander (my sweetie!!) gives her a bracelet as a sign of his affection. Why can't Buffy like him?? Or even better why can't he see the love Willow has for him and know that he shares the same for her?? Oh boy!!

But I think number 2 will happen to the poor Angel. Him having a heroic demise and Buffy seeking revenge would give a good plot twister. Also here's a idea!! Willow gets turned into a Vampire and it will take the love of a dearest truest friend to save her-->Xander!!! Sorry if that sounds stupid. Also about Nick from "Forever Knight" being cuter than Angel. Yes!! Angel could be a model!! He looks like one. I just said Nick was cuter cause I have a thing for sympathic good-doing cop vampires. :) Happy Days, Jilbert:) Jilbert Luberto- X-Phile,Relationshipper,Kevin Spacey AND Ewan McGregor nut, Buffnik, GASPer, and self acclamed quote queen.

D'OH!), For your consideration The new and improved version (honest I don't work for a sopftware company): What does everyone think about creating a ratings guide for each episode of BtVS? This way we can see the overall group (Lurkers included)opinion for each episode. Everyone would be entitled to cast one vote for each episode on a scale of 1-5. Please try and limit your ratings to whole numbers. Since I am suggesting this I would volunteer to administer this guide (Thank god for spreadsheets) and update it once a week. I would then once a week post the results to the Buffy List. Therefore anyone can send e-mails my way with ratings for each episode aired so far. Just hit the "reply to" button or email to ghaslam@hotmail.com. I would propose the following Rating Guide: 5 (Best - "Citizen Kane") 4 3 2 1 (Worst - "Plan 9 from Outer Space") And here are the episodes for your consideration: (3/10) Welcome th the H-Mouth, Part I (3/10) Welcome to the H-Mouth, Part II "The Harvest" (3/17) The Witch (3/25) Teacher's Pet (3/31) Never Kill a Boy on the First Date (4/7) The Pack (4/14) Angel Remember, please only one rating per person. Also do not post your ratings to the BuffyList as it is too busy already. If you decide at a future time to change your ratings that is fine by me. In no way is this going to be used for commercial or other unsavory purposes. I would also welcome any suggestions that people may have as well.

Really gave me a insight of what was to come in the future. (3/25) The Witch- 4- away from the Vampire thing is good but it seemed a bit like a X-Files. (They did the same as well. Switching from aliens to different paranormal topics after the first couple episodes. Pilot, Deep Throat, then Tooms) But it was a interesting plot and storyline. (3/31) Never Kill a Boy on the First Date 3- Kinda lame in the sence of no real action till the end. (4/7) The Pack-5- Even though I didn't like the fact that my sweetie Xander was a baddie in this episode, I really liked it cause the pack showed no human emotions, not even once! (Xander attacking his best friend. Shame on him!!) Also the music ruled. (4/14) Angel-5- I loved this episode! I gasped in shock and utter confusion when Angel showed his true form after kissing Buffy. (Even though I was suspecting it for some time) and I held my breath during the climax where Angel, Daria, and Buffy were fighting. Good plot, great acting, and my poor Xander gets the emotional witty award for his performance in this episode. "Now wait a minute..You saw him naked!!"

I'm so not behind you here. I think Willow is hot! Yeah Buffy is nice too, but Willow is also smart. Even though Buffy may not be a complete blonde.

I mean has he, other than when he was posesed by a Hyena, done anything to cause her to lose that trust? They are obviously good friends. Maybe they will never be more than that.
