Of course we did not just stick on the topic of the Vamires but skipped around to many topics.......Including the "who would you most Like To Sleep With" pole, and the Spike "Whoop Ass" club member debate. One interesting point is that of Cordelias loss of having the tittle of Greek chorus, the voice of the audiance. As she becomes more involved she seems to lose her ability to relate to the audiance. She was once the voice of truth, now she is wrong often...yet she does reflect some audiance thoughts(Hospital). So if she is no longer the greek chorus who will be? Oz? He does take things with a grain of salt, the way fnas need to but he also is a little stuck in a wierd position on the show. *************Reality is For Those Who Lack Imagination*********** I've Found it..

I mean, if they would just do a little research, I'm sure they'd find out that most of these people utterly *detest* Buffy and other Hollywood vampire productions. For some reason these RL (Real-Life) Fords think that *their* beliefs (and how they live their lives) are more important than our dedication to one of the best shows ever. I mean, really you'd think they're a bona fide religion or something ( LOL, just kiddin' ;-) ). It may sound dumb, but there are a few reasons that it's good that Buffy gets this type of coverage. 1. The intelligent reporters will pick up on the falsities of others' articles and thus give glowing, *informed* reviews. 2. The parents who are dumb enough to believe everything they read without any facts will forbid their children to watch, thus making the kids more interested in Buffy before they actually see how great a show it is. Hey, there's an old cliche that reads: "There's no such thing as bad press".

This show has had way too many repeats in the past month. This isn't the way to reward fan loyalty. I can't remember the last new episode that I saw, and that's not a good thing >> OK, I'm jumping into this one. Some have been wailing over the repeats--which is understandable as this is a fabulous show. BUT, it made me recall other shows of the past that I thought I couldn't wait for, which recalled the 'old' way of doing things. Which is this: a program would show 12 or thirteen episodes, then repeat them, then the other 12 or thirteen, then repeat them. Then, we'd start a new season. If 'Buffy' exec's had done this, would we have any problems with it? Or would we have just considered it normal behavior?? I don't mean to be harsh upon myself and others, but I think we're spoiled with the "Right Now!" attitude of today. Let's all try to sit back, and take advantage of a chance to re-tape our old faves, and pick them apart for good lines, OK?

We *know* from the episode Angel, that Angel's apartment has natural light, and that he only has curtains (wouldn't boarding the windows up be safer?). I'm not sure what time of day Angel entered his apartment in that episode and Darla opened the curtains to remind him what he was. Sunlight was streaming in, and he recoiled in fear. However, if it was afternoon, (hence, a southern or western exposure) he would have had all morning to get his drapes closed. Even if it was morning (an eastern exposure), the early rays of the sun would shine through the window first towards the opposite side of the room from his bed. He would still have lots of time to close the drapes before the sun was in the middle of the room or on his bed. I guess he liked drapes instead of boarding up the window because it makes the apartment seem a tiny bit more human.

They lack imagination and an ability to think for themselves. Common sense should tell you that biting people and drinking blood isn't something to be proud of nor does it make you an actual vampire. It only qualiies you for your own special place in the funny farm. Freaks for people to laugh at when they end up on Ricki Lake or Jenny Jones. And as for these cults using "Buffy" as a scapegoat for their dementia, have they totally missed the point? Granted books like the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice among others have glamourized vampires and their lifestyle. I am not surprised that a few of th sheep out there have formed cults based on thes stories but Buffy? This show depicts this creatures as monsters without soul or conscience. Demons without any scrap of humanity in them. With the exception of our beloved soon to be restored (hopefully) Angel, Buffy is anti- vampire. So what is up with these people? I think they're just wastes of life without reason or insight. Pandora (smellcore@aol.com) Keeper of Willow's wheelchair drivin' skills and of Jenny's last words.

These demographics represent whats considered the group with the most 'disposable income' (i.e. they spend all/most they earn on 'stuff'), and also are the 'real consumers' of the future.

We've seen Buffy (last night's ep) coming down a flight of stairs to the hallway. Now - I've always assumed Angel lived in a studio apartment below ground level with a window (or windows) that was very small and looked out at street level. But in "SURPRISE" the rainy illusion made too large a pattern on the wall behind the bed for a small window. And when Darla ripped open the shade in "ANGEL" the window also seemed large. What bugs me is that Angel's decor seems to change from ep to ep. What happened to the cabinet containing the sculpture that Buffy saw last night? And why is there a couch in the room in one ep but not in another? Does Angel pay rent or live in the basement of an abandoned building? And why no extra security measures (heavy locks, barricades) to protect him while he sleeps when he would be most vulnerable - to being staked or "discovered?" At least we know he is established as being artistic (long before "PASSION" - he has sketches all over his walls and there appears to be "works in progress" scattered across his desk. Has he ever drawn Buffy? The romantic Angel must have - then tucked them away for safe keeping.

Buffy is by far more realistic than DC, even though they regularly kill vamps for plot twists. 15-year-olds, unless they're child prodigies, don't speak the way the characters do on DC; even though Joss makes up a good deal of the terms on Buffy, they do sound more like they way teens talk. For all of you Buffy fans who haven't seen DC: if I had had any sense, I would have adopted my philosophy with Titanic, i.e. not to see it.

Unlike some people, I don't feel that we're being punished by all these repeats; I see it more as a reward. I'd much rather see a number of new episodes in a row rather than a couple of new ones and a repeat, that turns me off (and thereby my tv) quicker than anything. Also, I find having a block of new episodes after a string of repeats is alot better to look forward to than a couple of dispersed new eps. Finally, I really don't see what the problem is when none of the season 2 episodes have even been repeated twice. It gives those of us who started taping late a chance to get the new episodes in order. (YTV's showing older episodes is just a diversity bonus) My bone is that they only make 22 eps a season. I know its standard practice now but I still pine away for 26, so that you never have to have double repeats. Too bad someone couldn't convince Joss and the WB to break the mold.

I'm getting irritated that they keep playing reruns. my friends who are loyal to buffy said they'll probably stop watching it because of all the constant reruns and that they won't give buffy their ratings until new shows arrive. - - ------------------------------ End of buffy-digest V2 #194 *************************** To subscribe to buffy or buffy-digest, send the command subscribe buffy-digest or subscribe buffy to majordomo@xmission.com.
