Just thinking.... I do think that the wolf-gene runs in the family, but can be transmitted, as well -- it's just that Oz didn't have it before he was bit. Because, why else would his parents just have archaic-looking shackles lying around the house? Probably for this contengency. Remember, it looked like they'd come out of the attic or something. And why would he tell them about the werewolves? It's not exactly something you just bring up. Especially to a Slayer and her friends, who sort of kill other monsters pretty frequently. - -Jeff - - ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Jan 1998 08:24:11 -0600 From: Mia_McDavid@em.fcnbd.com Subject: Re[2]: BUFFY: Phases..error?

The original movie was done by John Landis, but the new one was done by someone else and supposedly stinks (I didn't see the new one). But the above post made me realize that when the original "American Werewolf in London" came out in 1980, many people on this list probably weren't even born yet! I'm feeling so old now...just like in "Lie to Me," when Buffy reminisced about being in fifth grade and listening to "I Touch Myself" by the Divinyls. To me, it feels like that song came out not very long ago. But I guess it was about six years ago, and if Buffy's 16, it sure WOULD seem to her like a it was an old song, since she was only 10.

If Buffy had staked Angelus at the end of "Innocense" (as she should have done) Theresa would still be alive. But, Buffy still had feelings for Angel and this stopped her from carrying out her duties as the Slayer.

Maybe -- and this is probably pretty far out there -- lyncanthropy is both contagious and a recessive genetic trait. That would mean that you'd need two parents who carried the trait to give birth to a werewolf child. Both of Jordy's parents could be werewolves, making him one, but perhaps only one of Oz's parents is (much how Oz and Willow are dating, but Willow is not likely to become a werewolf). Maybe it's carried through people in Oz's family and others, but people in a "werewolf" family don't necessary restrict their marrying to other werewolves. Huhm . . hope that's not too confusing. - -Jeff - - ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Jan 1998 12:49:54 -0500 (EST) From: tan3@cornell.edu Subject: Re: BUFFY: Werewolves: Bad Genes?

As most everyone agrees, a great episode. I may have to put it with one of the best of the season but as someone pointed out: > good Giles moments (Heh...moon pies...), Buffy, however, I think was kind > of a dissapointment. Giles seemed so much jovial than usual...not that it was bad, just UNusual. Nevertheless, the explanation of the moon causing weird things to happen is a good enough reason for me :) But Buffy...well, it was so much a disappointment. I mean, I DO understand her saddened and depressed mood. It's good for continuation purposes and the like. She actually took it better than I expected. But does that mean we'll never see the chipper Buffster again? Even when Angel gets his soul back, I doubt she'll resurface warm and fuzzy feelings for him right away. It was a nice touch with the dilemma of blaming herself for everytime a person dies. Now that she's accepted she's the Chosen One, it doesn't mean there's nothing left to brood about. It made me sympathsize with how much weight she must carry with her everyday.

Most of my comments and reactions about S/I were covered by other listers. Nice to know we think alike for the most part. These are a few words on PHASES... I taped it and finally watched it last night. Over and over and over... I literally had to rewind some parts a few times as I watched it because they hit me so hard. Oz and Willow: Beyond the Valley of Cuteness. Willow gets a "Mrow!" from Buffy for the Xander skanky ho zing. You go girl! We all need a good shot of cattiness now and then. Joss handled the aftermath of S/I so very well, IMHO. Honest, I have since the beginning put my complete trust of TV into two men who not only produce, but write and direct "their" shows (and kudos to WB for acknowledging "Joss Whedon's BtVS last week): Joss and JMS (from B5). I had no doubt whatsoever that no matter how Joss decided to handle Buffy and Co. after Angel goes bad, I would accept it and integrate it into the Buffyverse in my head. He done good. We got to see Buffy's weirdness over the whole ish; she even admist she's still upset but, heck, this is the Hellmouth and there's another threat here. "We can cry later..." Also, Seth as Oz is coming along very nicely as a welcome addition to the Slayerettes. Kinda funny, don't you think? People are commenting on how nothing "phases" Oz.... :) I like his calmness. It is very needed. We have watched the Scooby Gang go from Buffy as Slayer/ Giles as Watcher/ Wil and Xander as "buds" in on the secret/Cordie as antogonist to Buffy as Slayer with major boy problems/ Giles as Watcher and Ripper/Xander growing up little by little (as seen on funeral home scene) and "with" Cordie/Wil as growing little by little (as seen with her outbursts to others in key moments, as well as going after Oz). If one goes back to the beginning eps, and then watches some current ones, the changes in and among these characters is immediately noticed. I love the way Joss has imbibed shots of depth and lessons learned into what is, on the surface, viewed as a teen horror/dramedy. It lets us, as loyal viewers, reap the rewards of his storytelling. Additions to some posted comments: Written: >>>Willow: Is it just me or is she not the best screamer of the bunch? I mean, Cordelia's pretty good, but Willow's just got this great look of surprise- slash-fear.<<< She was actually featured in the Halloween edition of Disney's "Adventures Magazine for Kids." The article was on Alyson and her "techniques" for screaming and looking scared on Buffy! This girl has it down! Written: >>>The look of outrage when Cain insinuating that he and Buffy were doing something *wrong*, I'm sure he would've gone "Ripper" on him, if Buffy hadn't stopped him<<< Wow. Good call! I wasn't even thinking of that! So what's the deal? Will Joss allow Giles to go Ripper on us in the name of saving Buffy and gang...? After what his past did to Jenny, we assumed he wouldn't want to bring about that piece of history again. Who knows what he will do when really pushed... On Xander's approaching Larry in the locker room. Many have commented on Xander's reactions AFTER the incident. I'm more impressed with the initial approach, myself. Hello! This is our Xander! When he appraoched Larry and told him he "knows" and tried to force Larry to admit it, Larry got ticked off and grabbed Xander by the collar. Our normal, everyday accosted by a bully Xander would have decided to back off and bow out before he got it in the face. This time, notice how Xander stood his ground and kept pressing the ish? I figure it's because of the power he has in his knowledge. This wasn't just a teen angst issue, this was Xander's territory, now. Imagine you know something about someone most people don't. It's a secret you aren't supposed to know. Someone else makes a comment that hits that sensitive issue on the nose in a bad way. You wanna stand up and say, " Knock it off, will ya? You shouldn't talk unless you know the whole story!" Right? Xander has the knowledge of that secret: Sunnydale is the Hellmouth and Buffy's the Slayer (and has probably already saved Larry's life in the big picture) and there are vamps and other baddies out there and even though Larry's big and mean, what Xander is privvy to tops that big-time. I very muched liked that... To whomever is putting Joss' Bronze messages on the list: THANK YOU!!!!!!! I still have the worst time getting to the Bronze. Also, my system crashes moments after I do. I love getting this info from his keyboard to my email. Keep it up! The Museum of RTV William S.

The whole point was for Angel to suffer throughout eternity because his soul made him aware of the evil things he had done; but then he meets someone special, falls in love, and begins to feel a measure of joy in life. So- then what? The curse is lifted, his soul is destroyed, and (like the man in Reading gaol) he "kills the thing he loves!" Suppose- after this happens, his soul returns, and he must face the knowledge of what he has done! This would be a diabolical revenge, IMO.

C-I mean, with Xander it's always, "Buffy did this," "Willow said that." Buffy, Buffy, Willow, willow. It's like I don't even exist. W-I sometimes feel like that. C-And then when I call him on it, he acts all confused, like I'm the one with the problem. W-His "do I smell something?" look. W-Oz and I are in some sort of holding pattern. Except without the holding, or anything else. C-What's his problem? Oh, that's right, he's a guy. W-Yeah, him and Xander. Guys! C-Who do they think they are? W-A couple of guys. B-Who could resist Sunnydale's own house of hormones? Cain-Daddy's doing a great job of carrying her bag of milk bones. Cain-Now, I've got to deal with People for the Ethical Treatment of Werewolves. G-Blackguard! O-I wanted to ask you something: Is Jordy a werewolf? Uh-huh. And how long has that been going on. Uh-huh. O-Did anyone get bitten or scratched? W-No, we're fine. O-Gladness. B-Believe me, I'm going to give that wolfie something to howl about. X-But while we hang here doing nothing, there's a human werewolf walking around out there, probably making fun of us. W-The way werewolves always do. X-I know what it's like to crave the taste of freshly killed meat. To be taken over by those uncontrollable urges. B-You said you didn't remember anything about that. X-I'm a big bad wolf. I'm on the prowl. I'm sniffing, I'm snarling, I'm a slobbering predator, I'm... Wait a second. It's right in front of us. It's obvious who I am. I'm Larry! The guy's practically got wolf-boy stamped on his forehead. B-Me and the werewolf alone in a cage for three minutes. That's all I ask. X-Why so jumpy, Larry? L-Geeks make me nervous. B-Did anybody besides Larry fit our werewolf profile? W-There is one name that keeps getting spit out. Aggressive behavior, run-ins with authorities, about a screenful of violent incidents. B-Okay, most of those were not my fault! Somebody else started them, I was just standing up for myself! W-They say it's a good idea to count to ten when you're angry. B-One... two... three... W-I'll keep looking! B-I noticed you're looking solo. W-Yeah. Oz wanted to be someplace that was away... from me. W-I can't figure him out. I mean, he's so hot and cold. Or, luke-warm and cold. B-Welcome to the mystery that is men. I think it goes something like, they grow body hair, they lose all ability to tell you what they really want. W-That doesn't seem like a fair trade. B-Maybe you need to make the first move. W-Well, that won't make me a slut? B-I think your reputation will remain intact. W-It used to be so much easier to tell if a boy liked you. He'd punch you on the arm, and then run back to his friends. X-Wow, those two gals are hanging out a lot together. This would be a good time to panic. B-So how'd it go with Larry? X-What's that supposed to mean? B-I think it's supposed to mean, so how'd it go with Larry? X-He's not the werewolf. Can't we just leave it at that? Must you continue to push, and push? B-There goes our lead suspect. Which then puts us right back at square boned. X-You're not boned, you're Buffy. Eradicator of evil, defender of, um, things that need defending. B-Vampire. X-So, that's good, right? I mean, in the sense of, the werewolf didn't get her. No, there is no good here. B-No good. Instead of not protecting Theresa from the werewolf, I was able to not protect her from something just as bad. X-If it weren't for you, people would be lined up five deep waiting to get themselves buried, Willow would be Robbie the robot's love slave, I wouldn't even have a head, and Theresa's a vampire. W-Buffy told me that sometimes what a girl makes has to be the first move, and now that I'm saying this, I'm starting to think that the written version sounded pretty good, but you know what I mean. W-Don't you think I'm going through a lot? O-Not like me. W-Oh, what, so now you're special? You're special boy... with chains and stuff. Why do you have chains and stuff? W-It's Oz! It's Oz! B-What's Oz? W-The werewolf. G-Are you certain? W-Can't you just trust me on this? He said he was going through all these changes, then he went through all these... changes. G-I put in enough Phenobarbital to sink a small elephant. It should be enough for a large werewolf. Cain-Come on, supper-time. Good doggie. Now play dead. W-I shot Oz. B-How about you let the door hit you in the ass on the way out of town? B-That was weird. X-What, it's not okay for one guy to like another guy just because he happened to be in the locker room with him when absolutely nothing happened and I thought I told you not to push? B-All I meant was that he didn't try to look up my skirt. X-Oh, oh, yeah - that's the weirdness. B-Weirdness abounds lately. X-What relationship? I mean, what life could they possibly have together? We're talking obedience school, paper training, Oz is always in the back burying their things. And that kind of breed can turn on its master. O-I spoke to Giles. He said I'll be okay, I just have to lock myself up around the full moon. Only he used more words than that... and a globe. W-I'm sorry about how all this ended up. With me shooting you and all. O-It's okay. I'm sorry I almost ate you. W-It's okay. O-I mean, it's not every day you find out you're a werewolf. That's fairly freaksome. It may take a couple of days getting used to. W-Well, I like you. You're nice, and you're funny. And you don't smoke. Yeah, okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month I'm not much fun to be around either. O-You are quite the human. W-So, I'd still if you'd still. O-I'd still. I'd very still. W-Okay. No biting, though. O-Agreed. O-A werewolf in love. end part 2 of 2 - - ------------------------------ End of buffy-digest V2 #74 ************************** To subscribe to buffy or buffy-digest, send the command subscribe buffy-digest or subscribe buffy to majordomo@xmission.com.
