Flame On!!
Not really it's time Buffy wasconsigned to what it is. A decent show from the eighties which ran put of ideas at the end of series 3 and was milked for 4 more seasons. It was innovativebut is now dated. Move on Joss I say! Firefly was better anyway, shame it was axed!

Draco69
It was in the nineties. And I'd say the series SHOULD have ended at Season Five.

And Season Six sucked (Season Seven was a little better; great final battle).

But we want more Buffy dammit!


Firefly was GOLD. Stupid Fox for canceling it!!

mad

yes ninety six, did I sat eighties, brainfart. Also Gellar went off the boil after 3 (she got to thin and looked ill) and Angel left. It was never the same again. Willow became a Les etc. etc. season 4 and Adam was shit. Nah, 3 is when it should have ended.

Scoobless
Buffy should never have ended, you're both insane!

miffed

I read the first 6 or so pages of this new comic .... somewhere online, they've already retconned Buffy's relationship with "The Immortal"

wink

Draco69
I don't know why they made Willow a lesbian. There was never ANY indication she was a lesbian. Half of season four was her crying over Oz. I stand by the theory that black magic altered her genetic structure and made her gay. That sounds logical.

Adam WAS boring. But Glory is one the best villains in the series IMO.

And they retconned Andrew somehow turning straight. I guess it was a tongue-cheek reference to Willow suddenly turning gay. Andrew was obviously gay but apparently he turned straight in Angel. But Whedon said it was a prank. Oh well.

I hope Anya comes back. The Big Bad of Season Eight is obviously BUNNIES!!!!

eek!

Yeah, i'm looking forward to this alot. If it sucks, then meh, it doesn't count. If it's good, then good. Hopefully it's good.

ExodusCloak
Can't wait for this issue...

In terms of appearance and looking at some of the pics here, would it be far fetched for me to say

Xander = young Nick Fury laughing out loud

Rewmac
I am. And I hope they bring in Angel or Spike...

Its some Wiccan stereotyping, if your wiccan and your a female you have to be gay or bi....because...because you just have to be. roll eyes (sarcastic)

You never know they might start the series again...I loved it.

Rewmac
They were. But Vemp Willow was just wild not lesbian. She had to be lesbian as Alfheim said stereotyping for witches.

Draco69
Plus Vamp Willow was dating Vamp Xander (and Angel...kinda of) in the "Wish" episode.

pr1983
huh... to be honest i hated the last few seasons of buffy, primarily for buffy herself... the amount of times watching that show when i just wanted to smack her...

Draco69
Buffy was a b*tch in Season Six (spousal abuse, much?)

Buffy kinda went back to her roots in Season Seven (but she was kinda arrogant alot...)

added to that was the thing that in my eyes, angel was surpassing buffy in alot of areas...

little off topic, but did the angel comics ever explain what happened at the end of season 5?

I never read Angel comics so i don't know. Geller had got rough by season 7 as well.

Draco69
Angel and his allies all survived somehow (except Wesley of course...) No specifics as of yet.

I hope to see more of Illyria though.

Yes anoerexia is not sexy.

Draco69
Yeah, Gunn somehow survived (I know! A black person survives a catacylsm! It's unheard of!) but don't know what Angel and his crew are doing now.

I liked Fred too. She died a pretty gruesome death. Even her soul didn't survive so she never made it to the afterlife. She's just gone forever.

which sucks... though her death episode was, imo, probably the best buffy or angel episode i've ever seen... it was as close to perfect as whedon could get imo...

the final episode was good too though... brilliant undertones throughout...

Geller season 1 to 3 Dushka later on and Trachtenberg after the series ended! Damn she got hot in Eurotrip!

Draco69
I hated Connor though. Little son of b*tch. Everything he did was just wrong (sleeping with Cordelia?!?!) and spiteful (trapping Angel in a tomb for three months underwater?!?!?!)

Dawn was ten times better than that little bastich. Even Season Six Dawn....

Yes I didn't like the dawn character but I liked her in Eurotrip! So much!!

I never really understood the whole Amy thing in Season 7 and now her position in Season 8. What's with all this raise my army of undead all of a sudden.

Kennedy should die.

Draco69
Amy is jealous of Willow for some reason. Which really doesn't make sense since it was Willow that made Amy human again after being trapped for years as a rat.

Never had a problem with Kennedy. She seems like Faith-lite.

Maybe the "magik" abuse corrupted her permanently or something. We should get an explanation when Issue #3 comes out.

Really? I couldn't stand Kennedy and Rona. Everytime Rona opened her mouth I wanted to slap her and Kennedy's just too bossy for me.

I liked Annabelle, too bad she died in her first appearance.

wait a minute...wonder woman fan AND buffy fan?

the evidence is reeeeaaaaallly piling up.

all jokes aside, how is this going to fit in with continuity? will buffy run across blade or anything? or will it be it's own alternate earth?

i'm really pleased with the way marvel's been taking chances with creative property. first the dark tower comic, now this...whatever happened to the dark tower comic, anyway?

Actually I remember reading somewhere that if Angel had gone on for another season Whedon would have brought Willow in to restore Fred so I guess they would have revealed that Illyria was just b/sing the whole her soul was destroyed thing. Either that or Willow would have gotten powerful enough to create/recreate a soul.

what happened... and btw, has anyone heard anymore about this:

Joss Whedon is in talks with Brian Lynch, to co-author an official canon Angel Season Six comic book series that would be a companion to Whedon's Buffy Season Eight. Whedon said in an interview, "I am talking to Brian Lynch who wrote Spike: Asylum about doing a sort of Season Six of Angel - a canon post-Angel story.. It would be on a separate plane from Buffy, but having said that we are planning on having Spike and Angel appear in the arc."

its from wikipedia, but still, angel season 6, if done properly could be awesome...

Amy and her boyfriend(Who we haven't seen yet) survive the Sunnydale/Hellmouth incident. Amy's insane and stronger. She raises an army of undead to attack Buffy and her slayers.

Amy: "All that time underground with nothing to do but get stronger. 100 slayers and there's not one person here who can take me."

Voice: "As a friend of mine once said...."
