Ahh… Gwendolyn Post – I love Gwendolyn Post and really wish she’d been strung out for a few more episodes… I’d have loved to have seen her doing more English things with Giles – Giles needs more Englishness around him and Gwendolyn was just so gorgeously and perfectly English… there is talk in the council [...]
After a long, long hiatus (I wrote about Homecoming in May!) we’ve finally got back to Buffy and back with Band Candy that veers wildly from the unbearably long Angel Tai Chi sequence and almost as long and nearly as unbearable Xander/Willow footsie-playing – to the thoroughly enjoyable… which is mostly Joyce and Ripper… Joyce: [...]
Harpo was the Marx Brother I loves as a kid, he was the clown and you didn’t need to worry about listening to the words to find his humour… but I have to say that when he played his harp… I’d sort of lose interest – Chico’s piano playing never did that. Now I’m more [...]
Oh, oh, oh Willow… there’s Oz – he’s insanely cool, he’s cute and he’s a werewolf… and there’s Xander… he’s a pillock – you may be really clever but right now… you’re not very bright… Meanwhile… there’s Cordy who can fight demons with just a spatula and her tongue! She’s awesome! Cordy: I hear you, [...]
Buffy sees a counselor/psychologist – he seems nice (which is I think quite rare for a smoker on TV)… so obviously he succumbs to Rule of Buffy #1. After all my Oz is cool posts it is worth mentioning that he does look rather silly in werewolf-mode. And there’s Faith… oh Faith. She rocks, she [...]
Ahh and BtVS just moves up a notch… Faith has arrived – the series that is about the “chosen one” gets its third… and coolest… slayer. She rocks, and rolls, she does that dance with her hands above her head – and she’s here to steal Buffy’s chips!
To be honest this should probably be rule one – it being such a staple of the series… but rule 3 it is… Rules of Buffy # 3: If something doesn’t seem quite right… it’s a dream and in the next shot someone (probably Buffy) will sit up suddenly in bed. Oh look, how sweet, [...]
Sorry, my Oz-fixation is clearly out of hand. So here we are in season 3 and Seth moves from “Guest Starring Seth Green” to being a featured regular cast member. The buzz I get from seeing him up there with the big guns is tempered by knowing that this was the beginning of the end [...]
What bothers me is this: Angelus: The blood on my hands must be my own. I am the key that will open up the door And a little cut on the hand seems to do the trick! Whistler: Angel’s the key. His blood will open the door to Hell. Acathla opens his big mouth, creates [...]
A nice man… he’ll die because of Rules of Buffy # 1: If you’re an extremely nice minor character in Buffy then you’re either a demon or about to die at the hands (or claws, teeth, pincers) of a demon. I like Whistler – he should have been used more I liked Kendra, but I [...]
