This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.
Even if it was all planned from the beginning, it still doesn't make sense. I needed to feel the impact of the agency, and of the motivations of the individual steps (still not sure on why we lost the sun).
Planned all along? I'd have been fine with it if THE PLAN HAD MADE SENSE.
Shit. I started it again. And in Buffy, even. Sorry.
Edit: I'm not sure what of S4 is kosher in here. Someone else want to figure out what should be white-fonted?
I think all of S4 is off-limits, including the cast changes. I'm not sure for how long because I don't know if/when it will air in other countries.

S5 is, not S4 by our rules.
Sorry, Plei. I meant S5. I'm just sleepy and overwhelmed and not much with the thinking clearliness.

'sokay.
Trying to keep track of multiple place spoiler cutoffs is crazy-making. (I *think* S3 AtS and S6 BtVS are okay now on BBF... I think.)

I totally do not understand the BBF rules at all. I mean, i know people get yelled at a lot for violating them, but their cut-off dates seem kind of random to me.
(And aren't you supposed to be a mod of sorts on there? Scary that the *moderators* aren't sure.)

It's not totally random--they just have a larger list of countries to deal with for spoilers than we do here. I think it goes back two years from US airing.

Well... technically...
I'd have to look at the last spoiler all-clear update.

I understood it was something like that. It's just hard to keep track of, because they don't seem to post updates very often. I'd love to see regular posts saying, "Iceland has just seen "As You Were," clearing spoilers for this list through 6.XX," but that would probably a lot more work than going by the calendar.
My main distinction between Buffy and Smallville would be that Buffy was good.
Hee.
Also, "Smallville" is not the new "Buffy" -- "Smallville" isn't in "Buffy's" league. "Smallville" is the new "Roswell" only without the massive suckage that "Roswell" became starting in late Season 1. ("Roswell" went from "star-crossed lovers" to sci-fi to teen angst to incoherent sci-fi to "who-knows-what-the-hell-it-is." Sybil didn't have that many personality shifts.) It seems to me that with "Smallville" theWB either figured out how to hire passable producers or the network stopped messing with the product. But in any event, "Smallville" simply doesn't address the issues or themes that "Buffy" tackled. I think the comparison is because "Smallville" uses the kryptonite meteor shower like "Buffy" used the Hellmouth -- a way to explain some of the strange characters who show up each week. But "Smallville" doesn't do with those characters or its own regulars what "Buffy" did.
