I am sorry, and I love Angel, but I have to say that after waiting to sharpen my stakes, I am ready! He must be stopped! He is just plain evil! I liked Jenny, but even more awful, I hated how traumatic this is for Giles. Unfortunately, I would like Angel back, but Buffy has to realize her friends and her mom are at risk. Can she ever forgive herself for not being able to stop Ms. Calendar's death? What if it was Joyce, or Willow? Kill the beast! Stake him fast before anyone else has a sudden pain in the neck!! On a different note, I work with another Buffy fan and the next day, we were yelling, "Oh my god, did you see Buffy!!"

She could come back in dreams, they could go back in time, some magic could bring her to life, and on and on and on. BtVS is probably the only show on the air where a dead character could come back to life without any disturbance to the storyline at all. Now, whether she actually _will_ come back is another story entirely. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing her come back from the dead a couple of seasons hence, but of course with problems (as always -- maybe she's rotting away, maybe she's killing people), until Giles himself is forced to make her return to the grave.

People who want to rag on the show can just bring that up; we're never seen (or heard for that matter) Angel being in Giles's apartment<< I disagree. If you think back to "Invisible Girl," Giles and Angel were in cahoots (or just starting that part of their involvement). Angel specifically told Giles that he couldn't be around Buffy because it was too hard for him. And I think Giles understood that. He has always looked out for Buffy's feelings even when it wasn't obvious. Anyways, why is it so hard to believe that Angel didn't drop by Giles's apartment with some tidbit of information? (If he didn't want to see Buffy, showing up at the school would be really risky.) And how would Giles have his phone number? We never saw him get it, but he had it because he called Angel in "Prophecy Girl." I like the fact that they don't do everything blatantly on this show. They trust that the audience has been following along, knows the characters and understands that things go on behind the scenes.

Then, of course, the obvious thing to happen would be that Dru is killed, possibly by Spike himself, as we all know what 'wacky' things people (beings) do when in love.

So a person with a soul also feel the resonance with other living things, hence an understanding and awareness of them. This awareness leds to empathy or what is commonly called a conscience. When a person becomes a vamp they still have all the same personality traits, but because they lost their soul they have entirely different motivating emotions. The demon that now causes their body to be animate is motivated by sadism and destruction. However, most of human literature supports the believe that love and happiness are the primary motivates of those with a soul. Cigany Ps.

He had to know the guilt that Buffy was feeling, and he just added to it. Well, my problem wasn't with _that_ speech -- to me, it sounded like they were all upset and he was striking out. What _really_ bothered me was his behavior at the beginning of the episode. Buffy stands there and tells them all that a puppy-nailing sadistic vampire came into her _bedroom_, and Xander's response is to crack jokes?

I can't figure that one out at all! Let me add my support to Angel's voiceovers. I don't think that Passion would have worked as wonderfully without it. For the first time, we got to see inside Angelus' nasty little head. If you listen to the quotes, it seemed almost like a justification (though not a very good one), for his behavior: obviously he still has feelings for Buffy which he can't control (passion), but he still wants to make her life a living hell instead of just killing her (also brought on by passion). If we would have seen Angel's actions in Passion without his voice to accompany them, it would have been a lot harder to accept. Although it will be difficult to welcome back the good Angel again when his soul is restored, it would have been even harder if we did not hear those voiceovers, and just saw his unexplained madness.

FX Network Bags 'Buffy' Reruns At $650,000 Per By Cynthia Littleton HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - The FX cabler has staked out ``Buffy the Vampire Slayer,'' picking up rerun rights to the hit WB Network drama starting in 2001. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but industry sources pegged the pricetag for 20th Century Fox TV's ``Buffy'' at about $650,000 per episode, or about $65 million over the course of the initial four-year to five-year license term. As has become the norm with off-network sales of hour dramas, distrib Twentieth TV also will be able to sell weekend runs of the show to broadcast TV stations on an all-barter basis. FX is expected to run the show Monday-Friday in primetime. The additional ad revenue from weekend runs on broadcast TV stations could boost ``Buffy's'' per-episode take to nearly $1 million. Sources said other cablers in the bidding for ``Buffy'' included USA Network, TNT, MTV and Lifetime. Although interest in the campy, vampire-chic series starring Sarah Michelle Gellar was high, sources confirmed that FX's offer outdistanced all others, which were believed to have been under the $600,000 threshold. ``This was a very aggressive bidding process, and FX gave us the highest bid,'' Twentieth TV prexy Rick Jacobson said. Fueling cablers' demand for ``Buffy'' is the show's solid delivery of teenagers and young adults, the demographic category most coveted by Madison Avenue. In January, the WB tapped ``Buffy'' to lead its charge into a fourth night of programming on Tuesdays. Since the move, ``Buffy's'' household ratings have climbed 29% to a 4.4 rating and 7 share. The series bowed on the WB in March. Twentieth's deal with FX puts ``Buffy'' in heady company. TNT will end up paying about $800,000 an hour for Warner Bros.' ``ER,'' starting in the fall. USA shelled out about $750,000 an hour for Columbia TriStar Distribution's ``Walker, Texas Ranger.'' In 1996, FX ponied up a then- record $600,000 an hour for ``The X-Files,'' underscoring how much cable prices for off-net hours have skyrocketed the past two years.

A while ago someone mentioned on this list that Joss had said there would be a lot of reruns in March and April, then the rest in May. I believe there are a total of 5 episodes left, as they've already shown 17, so that would probably give us 4 during the May sweeps, which makes sense ratings-wise. I think TPTB are seeing Buffy as one of their best-rated shows, so they want to save the new eps for the sweeps.
