Absolutely fantastic body language :) As a dog trainer, I'm tuned in on body language to help solve various owners problems and as a deaf person I'm tuned in on human body language to help me figure out what a person is saying (along with lip reading and hearing aids). This scene was a delight to one like me, I've rewatched it hundreds of time. I read Angel's attitude from a vampire's point of view--"what are you doing with her? You're only a feeble mortal being" type of attitude towards Owen. I'm beginning to think that both Angel and Buffy were beginning to fall for each other during that scene...When Buffy ran back in, plops a kiss on Owen's lips and runs back out---I can see the wheels turning in Angel's head..(like in the Angel ep, he said: "...all I can think about is how badly I want to kiss you..." ) He saw her kiss Owen and he was probably wishing that it was him. I have to admit I'm a bit confused by Xander's "What's he doing here?" about Angel. Which ep was it that Willow said, "That must be Angel." And Xander said, "The weird guy who's been telling her about all the vampires?" That was shown as a snippet thingy prior to the ep of Angel. In NKABOTFD, I thought Xander and Willow didn't know what Angel looked like yet.

It should be smelly. // When you've been around since Columbus, you're bound to pile up a few exes. // Never say "Bite Me" in front of a vampire no matter how cute he is. // Watch. And mock. And laugh.

I couldn't remember how Nick got his blood supply and only have a couple of eps on tape, neither of which mention it. I also can't picture Angel stealing blood or sucking rats.

Hi all, I asked the following places: Buffy List at Xmission Buffy List at Planetx Anthony Stewart Head List Buffy Beta Fanfic List Buffy Posting Board Who on the show they prefered in both gender catagories, men and women, here are the results: 90 ppl voted, 81 followed the rules and voted for one person in each catagory, 9 did not. 85 Vote for the Men, the break down is as follows: Giles - 32 Angel - 27 Xander - 26 As you can see the results are very close but I was surprised that Giles still beat out Angel as favourite among those who voted. 87 Votes for the Women, the break down is as follows: Buffy - 58 Willow - 26 Cordelia - 3 Well among those who voted, Buffy was the main choice. Willow ties with Xander and Cordelia well she barely got any. I think I will continue this poll to let others vote who didn't get a chance this time around. I suspect that the men's positions might change but I doubt the women's will. So I will say if you wish to vote email me your chose for favourite character in each gender (MEN and WOMEN - One Each!) PRIVATELY. And I'll repost the new results next Tues. Later!

So you know >just chill and think of it that way instead. Flattery? If that is the reason AngelGrl copied the ideas, then why did she lie about it? The worst thing that AngelGrl did wasn't to "steal" the material, but to LIE about stealing it. Web pages get copied every day, but at least most people are honest enough to give proper credit when asked to do so. There are dozens of Buffy sites, duplication is to be expected. But there was no need for AngelGrl to lie about the source of her material. Think of it this way, if it helps: there are dozens, maybe hundreds of vampire legends. Joss has built his vampires using elements from some of them. If he used something that was unique to Ann Rice or some other author, the worst thing he could do would be to claim that it he came up with the idea on his own. Homage is fine, lying is inexcusable.

The point was that Owen didn't really jump into the unknown...he thought this was just like a bar fight...He called the vamp a wuss for trying to bite him. He didn't have any sort of healthy respect for the danger they were all in. Yes, he definately gets points for being adorable, intelligent, intense, and for leaping to Buffy's aid, but Buffy was right at the end of the episode: it was only a matter of time before he got himself or someone else killed.

It's something that's reliable (which the majority of British cars are not, IMHO), practical, about 20 years out of date, anti-sporty...all the things which seem to typify Giles himself! I can't see him zipping around in an MG at all. Actually, from what my British friends have told me, French cars are fairly popular in England. Also, my Buffy-watching group here had a debate after the show: how many trips back and forth between here and England did it take Giles to bring his car over, piece by piece in his suitcase?

He kept it in wines bottles, and presumably had some kind of contact at a slaughterhouse. Angel, on the other hand, keeps his blood in what looks like standard hospital IV bags; I think we can assume that it *isn't* cow. Perhaps Angel is being careful to steal only those bags which have been rejected for medical use because testing revealed the blood was infected with HIV, hepatitis, etc. In most versions of the vampire mythos, the undead are immune to human illnesses, so contaminated blood shouldn't affect them.

(he takes a >deep breath) the largest deposit of... slayerite. LOL! Good one Robin! Let's take this to the next logical step. Buffy: What's slayerite? Giles: It's the only substance known to man that can weaken the slayer. Prolonged exposure can cripple you permanently. You can tell slayerite by its color, which is similar to vamp nail polish. Buffy (under her breath): So over. (Meanwhile, in the Anointed One's Lair...) A1: Bring forth the remains of the Moloch robot! (Crony Vamps bring forth the Moloch Robot. A1 opens a panel on the front while taking out a large chunk of black/blood red/dark purple rock. He places it inside and closes the panel. The Robot's eyes glow an eerie red.) A1: Powered by the slayerite, the Moloch robot will surely succeed in destroying the Slayer! Go forth, and bring me the head of Buffy Summers! BWAHAHAHAHA! (Fade to commercial) I'm gonna reiterate Lisa Rose's suggestion for calling ourselves OLODA (Order of Our Lady of Demonic Assassinations). We could appropriate many of the tropes of both the Catholic and Anglican Church. Go and say 15 "Hail, Buffys" and 10 "Our Giles" and sin no more!!! Can you say 'cult'? I knew you could. ;-) Or we could be the Slayketeers, or Buffketeers. JJ, chugging a big can of silly. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Jun 1997 11:46:08 -0400 (EDT) From: Gail Celio Subject: Re: BUFFY: Fan Name On Wed, 25 Jun 1997, Jesse Jou wrote: > At 10:20 AM -0400 6/25/97, Robin Carroll-Mann wrote: > >Giles: The geological records that Willow has *discovered* show clearly > >that this town contains the largest deposit in the country...

Unless they're just going to do an autograph session, I'm assuming they will be doing a panel of some sort, maybe showing clips, talking about the upcoming season, etc. Understand that the arrangments for this appearance were made via 20th Century Fox Television, not us...

AFAIK, most U.S. blood banks rely on free donations collected during blood drives. Some places will buy blood, or used to -- the cliche, perhaps not accurate, is of bums selling a pint to get money for booze. With the increased need to screen out HIV and other dangerous things, I don't know if this is done much anymore. OTOH, maybe Angel has been paying street people directly to keep himself supplied.
